Continuity mistake: In the scene where Matthew Broderick leaves his wife's hospital room and has to sniff out which book she picked off the shelf while he is gone, you can see that she picked a green book. But when he comes back in he takes a blue book off the shelf, as she says that that was the correct one.
Continuity mistake: When Karl is at the Frosty Cream, in the shots of Karl there is absolutely no traffic on the street behind him. But in the shots of the Frosty Cream employee, look at the window to the left. A reflection of the street behind Karl shows a steady stream of traffic passing by. (00:20:40)
Revealing mistake: When Le Merchant is offended by his wife's comments and puts the Lament Box into the travel chest, a section of the gold veneer on it has bent upwards.
Continuity mistake: At the very end there is a shot of (Dennis Miller) opening the door of a car for the lady, then cuts to the inside of the car, where her door is slammed shut, obviously by Dennis Miller, and approximately half a second after her door is shut, the passenger door opens and Dennis gets in the car. He must be able to leap over cars in a single bound.
Visible crew/equipment: When Angel Marie comes up to attack Fozzie, you can very easily see the forehead of the puppeteer, as well as the T formed by the human hand merging with the puppet hand.
Plot hole: When Peyton/Darkman is showing Bridget how the liquid skin works, he drips a small amount onto his burnt finger, and it solidifies. However, when he drops it onto his finger, it magically shapes itself into a replica of a perfect, undamaged finger. This makes no sense, as it is simply a liquid and is not being molded by any forces. Hence, it should not look like a perfect finger.
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Clark drives his car to the inner city school, he asks a punk where the faculty parking is. The punk points to the parking lot and as John drives away all of his tires are blown out by road spikes (he goes through a wrong way road). When he gets out of the car, notice that some of his tires have mysteriously reinflated themselves.
Continuity mistake: During the scenes on the makeshift snowboard Jackie uses to evade the skiing soldiers, every time you see Jackie's face he is standing left foot forward on the board, but whenever you cannot see his face he is standing right foot forward. (00:19:45)
Continuity mistake: At the pool, Dosmo's grip on his gun repeatedly changes from one to two handed between shots.
Continuity mistake: The movie is set in summer in Southern California. Several times during the movie the characters complain about the heat. Yet towards the end of the movie when several of the castmembers are standing outside they all have sweaters and coats on.
Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning, right after Nicole Kidman is in her carriage and calls out to her friend Henrietta, another carriage rolls by. You can see the camera crew reflected in this carriage.
Visible crew/equipment: When Matthew walks from the hospital to the pharmacist to steal the prescription for their baby, the trolley camera and the guy pulling it are reflected in the shop window.
Continuity mistake: The last time Shakes serves as an altar boy for Father Bobby, he puts the white coat on top of the black gown, and it is all straight. Yet, when he turns to Father Bobby, the coat is lopsided and hangs over his left shoulder, and Father Bobby straightens it again. Even if the coat slides a little when Shakes leans towards the mirror right before turning to Father Bobby, it wouldn't pass his shoulder unless he did it on purpose. (00:28:20)
Continuity mistake: When Tommy walks into the bar while Samuel L. Jackson is there, he is wearing a greyish/blue t-shirt that is soaked in sweat. The shot changes to Samuel L. Jackson and then back to Tommy, but now he's wearing a plaid button-down shirt over it that he didn't bring into the bar with him. Where did he get it and how did he get it on in two seconds flat?
Factual error: The geography throughout the film is all wrong. The setting is in Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. The driving times between there and Williamsport are extremely under-estimated. Most egregious is the river structure. The body is found in the river near Sunbury. Not possible from a site in Western PA. Basically all relationships between actual towns/cities mentioned are totally wrong.
Continuity mistake: Before Halleck eats the cursed pie, a fork appears next to the pie between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Ellen DeGeneres is looking through the family photo album, she partially lifts the page to turn it, showing that the following page is blank. The next shot from a different angle, she turns the page to see more pictures. The same thing happens again right before she finishes looking through the album.
Continuity mistake: When Alec Baldwin goes to visit Medgar Ever's brother at his radio station, the brother pours Alec a mug full of Coca-Cola. Alec sets this mug down and never touches it. They show one wide shot of Alec, and there is a double pen holder in front of the cup, the pen on our right side overlaps part of the cup, while the pen on the left side is not near the cup. Later we see another wide shot of Alec, and now the cup is in the same position, and the camera is from the same angle, but the left pen overlaps the cup instead of the right pen.
Visible crew/equipment: As Maddie starts to walk across the top of the bridge and the shot widens out, the safety cable can be seen dragging along behind her right foot.
Continuity mistake: After Miss Elson writes the word "Pirates" on the blackboard, its appearance changes twice.
