Continuity mistake: Just after Samuel Jackson has an argument with his daughter he sits on the bed and gets his safe. The clock reads 11:40, but in the next shot when you see him with stuff from the safe the clock reads 11:38. (01:03:20)
Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Jesse James and Charley Ford after James has killed Ed Miller and woke Charley in the middle of the night, Charley's right suspender is initially twisted, yet, in the next shot his suspender is flat against his body, and remains so for the rest of the sequence.
Continuity mistake: In the opening of the movie, when Rusty and Danny are flying back to visit Rueben, you see them boarding a Gulfstream G200. However, the interior shots actually show them flying in a Gulfstream 5 (probably the one on the ramp next to the G200 when they exit the aircraft).
Continuity mistake: When Helmut is beating up Rio, Rio tries to outrun him and slips on some mud. As Helmut grabs Rio the mud is gone and they are standing on dry sand.
Continuity mistake: During the love scene between Smith and Donna, when the killers first come in the door, Smith's pants keep changing from being down (while he is having sex with Donna) to up around his waist like normal as he rolls off of the bed.
Continuity mistake: When Robert Graysmith is speaking with Sherwood in Sherwood's garden, Robert has his arms crossed. The watch on Robert's left hand changes multiple times between shots. (01:58:25 - 01:59:05)
Continuity mistake: The shape and width of the scar on Stuntman Mike's face slightly varies between the scenes (from thin in the shot where he is pouring some eye drops into his eyes, to almost invisible during the scene at the parking lot in front of the shop in Lebanon, Tennessee, and wide during the final rush).
Suggested correction: This is untrue. The movie is out of sequence, like the reels were put together wrong in an old Grindhouse Theater. The car also changes when his scar is different if you pay attention. This whole movie also takes place in the wrong order of the double feature according to the storyline. This was NOT a mistake but done on purpose and slides to this in the making of book.
Continuity mistake: When Ashley is locked out of her house and decides to stay at Kale with Ronnie, she is wearing a brown skirt, up until a scene when she is at Kale's computer (still stranded/locked out) and she is wearing jeans. Where did she get these if she was locked out of her house? (00:35:30 - 00:39:05)
Continuity mistake: When Eddie is about to be interrogated by the Turks, he's tied up with his hat on. In the next shot his hat is off, and just as the Turk administers the truth shot he rips Eddie's hat of his head.
Continuity mistake: When the robber is killed, he falls back and breaks the glass door with a blind. The first time we see the scene, the position of the blind differs from the repetiton from a different view from the flashback.
Continuity mistake: During the operation, the tape on Clay's eyes changes shape and position, several times. When it is first put on it is square and covers the whole eye; later it is rectangular and only covers the middle part of the eye.
Continuity mistake: During the van chase sequence, the van door is open for the first few minutes. Then the van makes a sharp right turn and immediately it cuts to the door which is now closed. In the immediately following shot, it's back open yet again.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning scene at Vincent's trailer, Errol is looking through the cupboards as he questions Vincent. He comes across an adult magazine, and flips open to a page. He flips another page or two over, and the exact same picture is shown as the first picture he opened to initially.
Continuity mistake: When Ro eats the tub of ice cream, the way it faces and the amount in the tub continues to differ.
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Jennifer gets matches on her side of the room, she lights one, presumably to see into the other room. In one shot the match is burned down almost to her finger, the next shot from the other side of the glass it is longer, and the next shot shows the match at a different angle with a larger flame than the previous shot. When she drops the match because it is supposed to have burned to her finger, it is clear the flame was not close to her finger/thumb at all.
Continuity mistake: The bike that Tim uses to escape from Brian Cervier's ranch switches from a four stroke to a two stroke in the scene where it runs out of gas.
Continuity mistake: In the end of the film where Willy and Ted stand together in Ted's house, Ted says to Willy "See, you can't touch me, ever". The shot goes to Willy and you can see his finger off the trigger, yet in the close-up on the trigger you can see that Willy's finger is inside the trigger-guard and he pulls it out. (01:46:15)
Continuity mistake: Jason Statham is in a '70 Chevelle, following Jet Li. In some shots it's a '69 Chevelle, which has a noticeably different body style.
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the car's shadow changes with each shot from very long to very short.
