Continuity mistake: Jason's mother is sitting on the front porch crying, telling Jason that Joshua stole some money from her job. Notice the pack of cigarettes and matches on the chair's arm, but when Jason goes to comfort her by sitting on the arm, the cigarettes are clearly gone. (00:26:13)
Continuity mistake: Throughout the entire movie, the irregularly-sized characters are constantly changing size when compared to one-another. Except for Barky (even Junior, he is awfully big for a baby) I.E. when Bastian accidentally steps on the gnomes' house, the gnomes are the height of Bastian's shoe, yet when they run out of the house, they are as tall as his leg up to his knee cap.
Visible crew/equipment: During the opening tracking shot through the newsroom of The Sun, the camera track on the ceiling can be seen.
Other mistake: This happens after the scene when Gary Busey and the woman he is helping have a chat on his boat. They walk out on the boardwalk and Gary Busey tries a flamboyant maneuver where he jumps over the railing. If you slow-mo the film or go scene-by-scene you'll find that right after he lands and before the scene cuts Gary Busey yells out in pain. Looking further into the picture, you'll see Gary Busey's legs are almost horizontal before he lands, making for a very painful impact.
Factual error: When Jack (Molloy) is at work in the call center, he uses his mobile phone to take a call. Everyone working there would be swearing at him and hitting him with big sticks because mobile phones make electronic noises in headsets, just like when your phone gets network activity and it is near a radio, stereo, speaker, etc.
Continuity mistake: During his monolog in the scene on the airplane, Briggs introduces Wayne as a private but, in the next scene when they wash up on shore Briggs addresses Wayne as lieutenant.
Continuity mistake: Despite making the jump with Eddie from one building to the next, the two goons come out of the original building they jumped away from. (00:27:00 - 00:28:20)
Visible crew/equipment: With compliments of Koga Shuko the united gangs attack the Lee brothers, and while Jimmy and Billy defend themselves Billy goes up against a guy wearing a school uniform. Just as Billy slams a car's engine hood down onto that guy, in this shot we can see the camera, the camera operator, and a crew member under the raised car hood, at the lower left side of the screen. (00:45:00)
Continuity mistake: When Janelle and Veda are in the shop and Janelle is talking to Veda about marriage and divorce, if you look behind Janelle you'll see Sidney entering the shop. When it shows her up close you see her just walking in.
Continuity mistake: Beth's tattoo disappears then reappears in different shots.
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of Chen Zen's trial there is a shot of the guards closing the courtroom doors. Then there's a wide shot of the whole courtroom and the guards can be seen in the background closing the doors again. (00:41:01)
Character mistake: In the beginning of the film, Doug Chesnick is on a plane returning to Washington. The flight attendant brings him a Bloody Mary with the Vodka in a bottle next to the drink on the tray. He drinks the drink without pouring in the Vodka.
Continuity mistake: After Meredith Johnson is "turned down", she goes storming out of her office after Tom Sanders. She leans very far over the stair rail to yell at him. In the following shots, it alternates between Meredith standing nearly straight up and leaning way over so the camera could get a cleavage shot.
Factual error: In the saloon at night, Ben Wheeler says, "I can't afford another Workers Comp claim". Workers compensation wasn't started in the United States until 1902. (00:10:25)
Factual error: In one scene Cobb and the sportswriter doing his biography are driving across the country to get to the baseball Hall of Fame. They are stopped next to some railroad tracks fixing a flat tire, and a train goes by that has Burlington Northern markings (BN). Burlington Northern didn't come into existance until ten years or so after Mr. Cobb died.
Character mistake: When Frank says to "V" that his mother died before he was born, "V" replies that she doesn't think that's possible. She is wrong. Although it may be uncommon, some babies ARE successfully born even after the death of its mother (usually with an emergency procedure).
Visible crew/equipment: During the performance of "Gotta Get A Gift", there is a handheld camera shot where the turtles are walking towards the camera singing the chorus while the camera moves around them. Just before the camera cuts to another shot, a stage light can be seen in the background to the left of shot, behind Michelangelo. Additionally, two shots after this, the same stage light can be seen again in the far background and can also be seen right at the start of the shot after that for a brief moment.
Revealing mistake: When the doctor is cutting the forehead, a red tube to release fake blood can be seen behind the scalpel. (00:30:12)
Revealing mistake: Most of the police cars are late model Ford Sierras, but any police car that crashes has been substituted for a much older early model Sierra.
Continuity mistake: The scene where Sully and Carl break into the house, Sully breaks the window and most of the glass is still in it. The scene changes and less than a second later all the glass is gone.
