Continuity mistake: When Monica and Steve are in Monica's classroom, the position of her hair changes from being over one shoulder, to being over two shoulders as the shots change from being in front of her and behind her.
Plot hole: Jennifer Ehle gets a note from her husband, who is a prisoner in the men's camp a few miles away, saying, 'We're escaping on Sunday night. See you in Sydney.' So, even though this note is going to be passed via several people, any of whom might betray him, not only does he explicitly say he plans to escape, but even when he's going to do it. No wonder he gets caught.
Continuity mistake: When Ullie Birve's character is taken from Earth near the end of the film, her clothes fall to the ground. In the moments just prior, she is shown fading in and out, but so do her clothes.
Visible crew/equipment: When Detectie Frank Divinc is talking to Joe in the car, about the crime, the camera is reflected in the window; you can even see a crewmember beside it at one point.
Visible crew/equipment: When Ricky Schroth and Harriet Frankovitz attempt to fly their balloon a wide shot shows it heading towards a tree, above the balloons you can see a cable.
Factual error: As Danny arrives in Hollywood at the beginning of the film, the Hollywood sign can be seen. The film is set in 1939 so the sign should still read Hollywoodland, as it did until 1949. (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, when Martin Short is taking the test, a woman in a pink dress gets up to hand her test in, but later she is still sitting in the room.
Continuity mistake: After "A Lovely Night," while Cinderella and her stepmother are talking, Cinderella's hair keeps moving- sometimes there's more hanging in front of her shoulder, sometimes there's more in back.
Continuity mistake: When Joe realises that Jimmy isn't turning up at the park he goes to a pay phone, puts the red notebook down with the spine faceing to the right and starting phoning the FBI. In the next shot the the notebook has rotated 90 degrees with the spine now facing the wall. (01:06:45)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Asuka is fighting against the JSDF aircraft, her umbilical cable is severed and she ejects the umbilical plug. She then expands her AT field and the plug is connected in her back again. In the next shot, it isn't there.
Character mistake: When they are preparing to film the "Albanian Girl" fleeing the war the girl with the clip board refers to the actress playing the "Albanian Girl" (Kirsten Dunst) by her real name, Kirsten rather than her character name Tracy.
Factual error: Martha Cable is shown describing to a customer the process for converting a cap-and-ball Army Colt revolver to accept cartridges. While it is entirely possible that a gunsmith in Texas might perform such actions, the burning question is, "Why?" The only cartridges available were for a .32 caliber Smith & Wesson, or those for a .44 Henry repeating rifle, and such cartridges were virtually impossible to obtain in the South during the Civil War.
Plot hole: Marcus told Melena he lived in New Mexico with his parents until he was 5 years old: "My dad died in a car accident when I was five... and my mom got caught smuggling people into the country, so she got 10 years [in prison]." Even though Marcus did not know at the time the real reason his mother was in prison, the murder must have occurred in New Mexico, so it doesn't make sense that she would be serving time in a New York prison. (00:33:20 - 00:34:21)
Continuity mistake: After Crocker discovers that Gregory is in his house, she tries to hand him the key to the basement at the Hotel. In one shot, when facing Crocker, the handle of the key is facing him, but when the camera is facing Gregory, the key's handle is is facing her.
Revealing mistake: At the very beginning of the film, we see the transfer vehicle carrying Jack driving down the road. You can tell in several shots that the (fake) snow isn't really falling, but is just being blown in front of the camera from off-screen, especially since there's no snow hitting the road, and it's coming from the side, not above.
Plot hole: In the waning seconds of the championship game, the Huskies are down by 2 and UMass has the ball. Not only do the Huskies not intentionally foul to stop the clock, but UMass attempts to run a play and set up a basket when they simply could have dribbled out the clock and won the game. Both these strategies go against what any basketball team would do in this situation, especially in a championship game.
Other mistake: When Mimi wants to dance, and she wipes the diner table clean, the table is about 2 feet square. When Mimi and Jimmy dance, they are 6 feet apart, despite dancing on that small table. (00:39:00 - 00:39:40)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Werner Ernst is talking with nurse Stella as he has his cup of hot liquid. She asks him "Is the world really that shallow?" James Spader is holding the cup from the top without using the handle, but in the next shot he is holding it from the side instead as he puts it down on the desk. (00:04:35)
Continuity mistake: In the sequence with Terence Hill and Marvin Hagler giving chase to the bad guys, when the baddies break the guard-rail and supposedly drop one level, the lights of the chasing car are still fully visible through the back window before the good guys take the same dive from the highway ramp.
Factual error: In early scenes, Lieutenant Commander Ramirez is wearing insignia for Lieutenant, not Lieutenant Commander. Later scenes have him wearing the correct insignia.
