Continuity mistake: On the last hole of the match, Hagen's putt goes 5-6 feet by. However, on the next scene is shown making a 1 foot tap-in.
Factual error: When Ryan and Jennifer are hanging out at their lookout spot, over the Golden Gate Bridge, they are looking at the bridge from the Marin County side. For those of you who aren't familiar with Bay Area geography, the distance between Berkeley and Marin County is about 15 or 20 miles, yet the two refer to walking back to campus a few times.
Continuity mistake: I don't think it's quite a mistake, but in almost every scene with Madonna, she has a mysterious shadow over her forehead. In full shots, no shadow, but when they cut to her close-up, there it is. It's more annoying than anything else (aside from her acting).
Continuity mistake: When Tony is stuck in the tunnel in the prison and is talking to Wolf, there are still several feet of tunnel ahead of him before the end of the tunnel. But when Wolf gives him a push, he is shown coming right out of the tunnel's end.
Continuity mistake: When Monica gets out of her car after her first day at the bank, she stumbles over her shoes. She takes them off, talks to Q for awhile, and then heads into the house. Watch as she rounds the corner to the house (right when she gets to the hedges, watch carefully because she walks around the hedges fast) you can clearly see that she does in fact have her shoes on, without her putting them back on. She didn't even bend down like she should if she were putting them back on.
Continuity mistake: Chris Rock and Morgan Freeman are outside of Rosa's apartment, looking in the trunk of Betty's car. The cut-out of Dr. David Ravell pops out. Chris Rock throws the cut-out on the ground and stomps on it. Chris Rock has on white tennis shoes. Later, when Chris and Morgan are inside Rosa's apartment, Chris Rock is wearing black tennis shoes when he is with the sheriff, taking his gun and handcuffs.
Continuity mistake: In the scene at the carnival, Ryan hands Ashley a drink that he just bought. The drink is full to the top with ice and a lemon. Before Ashley even drinks any of the drink, she walks over to a carnival ride and you can see that her cup is empty.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie, when Al (Freddie Prinze Jr) meets Imogen (Julia Stiles) She introduces herself as a freshman, and he introduces himself as a sophomore. the movie spans over the rest of the school year until she goes away for the summer. However, at the end of their first summer apart, Al is eating dinner with his dad and they are discussing his upcoming senior year and post-graduation plans. It should only be his junior year.
Continuity mistake: In the trailer, there is a scene showing Matt Damon in a fight. The other person pulls out a knife and cuts Damon on the right side of his face, leaving a big scar. In the next scene of the same commercial the scar changes from the right side of his face to the left side and then back again.
Continuity mistake: When the they first show the Evil Snow-Plough Man, he's chasing kids and they run off to the left side of the road as proven when the kid's sled gets crushed. However, once he's past, they all pop up from a mound of snow on the right side of the road.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the Dr is explaining that his daughter might be a lesbian to Helen Hunt's character, when they move over to the desk area Helen's arms move from both hands leaning on his chest to only one back to both.
Other mistake: The girls paint their van with brushes before heading off. When the van is being driven later in the film as they make their getaway, it's obviously been airbrushed, as it's too smooth a paint job.
Other mistake: In the scene where hundreds of men burst into the place where Penelope Cruz gives her cooking lessons, you can see that one of the waitresses drops the plate she is holding a split-second before the guys swing the doors open and rush past her.
Continuity mistake: The car driven by the journalists has the letters TV written on the windshield. They are bigger viewed from inside.
Continuity mistake: In the scenes at the beginning where Willy Jack is in the car his shirt changes 3 times before he's finally pulled over with the 14 year old girl. It's all one day. (00:14:00)
Suggested correction: This is not entirely unusual. A person might change their shirt, more than once, if the weather is making them sweat. Especially if the car does not have AC. Novalee said that Willy Jack bought the car very cheap, and there is a hole in the floor, so I would not be surprised if the AC was broken.
I second this. My husband owned a car that didn't have AC, and it was not unusual for him to change his shirt on hot days.
Factual error: In the sword fight between Hamlet and Laertes at the end, both characters are wearing jackets of the kind only used in foil fencing, to differentiate between a hit on target and a hit off target. The line in the script is "These foils have all a length?" but the weapons they hold are actually epees - which have a different target and different rules. Laertes' jacket is not properly done up, and he should have been penalised by the referee for removing his mask without permission. And a fencing piste should be 14 metres long - the one in this film is much too short.
Revealing mistake: When Roro is fighting Yasmin's brother in the car, he uses the handbrake, and the angle change to view from the top. You can then see a lot skid marks on the road where they did this stunt in previous takes.
Continuity mistake: When Marie was in France, she walked around in her living room at night and took a knife from a basket and saw Aaron's reflection on it. She was frightened and dropped it. When she crouched down to pick it up, it changed into a pair of scissors.
Continuity mistake: Tadpole gets out out of the taxi. The bumper color of the taxi is not the same color before and after he exits. (00:04:00)
Character mistake: Sam and Maurey were watching TV news coverage of Kennedy's assassination (11/22/63). When Petey got home (around 12:05 PM MST), he tried to change the channel, then said, "Mom, Maurey won't let me watch 'Rocky'." Laurabel/Mom said, "You know he watches 'Rocky' every afternoon." But school was let out early due to the assassination, so Petey would normally be in school at noon and therefore not be able to watch "Rocky" at that time in the afternoon. (00:21:30 - 00:23:17)
