Continuity mistake: When Cole fills the water jug at the creek, it is only about a fourth full of water when he caps it and hands it to Captain Burroughs. A moment later as they are walking away, the jug is almost completely full of water. (00:18:50)
Continuity mistake: When Walter steps into the cat poo he gets it right under the middle of the shoe. When he then lifts his foot to take a look it's stuck under the front of the shoe with no sign of poo in the middle. (00:17:30)
Audio problem: DVD version. In the scene where Lisbeth is about to be buried alive, she gets shot three times by her father as she tries to run away. The sound effect of the gunfire includes the tinkling of a spent cartridge hitting the ground (clearly heard in the rear right). However, the father's gun is seen to be a revolver, which does not eject spent casings when fired - the spent casings stay in the cylinder. (01:50:30)
Factual error: The scene where Princess and Steven are in Chrome Skull's truck, they are trying to dial 911. They are denied access because the phone is password protected. This would never happen. Even though there is a lock on the phone, it would be automatically deactivated for 911 calls. When you lock your cell phone to protect it from unwanted usage, the phone will deny all usage EXCEPT 911 calls.
Continuity mistake: During the song 'Video Girl' watch Nick's tie because the tie is on, then it's off, then on again, then off and so on. (00:23:35 - 00:28:00)
Continuity mistake: Lyn has a patch on his nose and it's loose on one side. In the next scene it's attached tight to his nose again. (01:17:00)
Continuity mistake: When Sugar Bear flies through the air and lands on Truck at the end dance off, Trucks legs bend backwards underneath him. When Sugar Bear gets off of him, he's now flat but his legs are laid straight out instead of bent.
Factual error: Kevin and his buddies go to graduation in Army dress. While the ribbons displayed are hard to identify, several things are sure. They don't have a Washington National Guard ribbon, so they're regulars, and they have no Middle East service ribbons. So just where did they acquire so much fruit salad?
Continuity mistake: Approximately 10 minutes into the movie the main character is going to burglarize a house and there is a guard dog on a chain in the yard that bites him, through a black mask, on his left cheek. After he is in the upstairs bedroom trying to open a safe, you can see blood around the hole near his left eye, but when he pulls off the mask, there is no longer blood on his left cheek, or any signs of a puncture wound.
Character mistake: Near the end of the movie Godfrey says "I'll try to send the birds to the sea," but when he redirects the birds the operator says the birds are going back to the base.
Character mistake: At the hospital, the inspector manages to get from the nurse the file of the patient with the liver condition. Forgetting the fact that the Turin, Italy hospital is using English for its documents (it's simply a cinematic convention), the problem is that the letterhead of this document says "Department of Chronic Deseases", misspelling the word.
Factual error: When the Lincoln Continental Convertible was rolling backwards down the hill, Nick put his hands on the trunk to try to stop it. A car, especially one weighing 5,000 - 6,000 #, would easily knock over a person and possibly cause serious bodily injury (even death). Nick's attempt to stop the car by holding onto the driver's door handle would also be futile and potentially dangerous. (00:37:47)
Character mistake: At the end Chris Kline calls Chun-Li "Lana".

As the camera goes back and forth in the conversation, watch the "home" on his plate of pancakes. It falls and appears to be scraped and turned in a different direction on his plate by the end of the conversation.
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Ian is taped to the chair, the duct tape across his shoulders changes from shot to shot. Some times it touches the shoulder seams on his shirt, and other times it is several inches away.
Continuity mistake: In a "movie inside the movie" moment, Arshad Warsi is on the witness stand. In the wide shot the hand he had on the book is held up gesticulating, and at the end of the shot he has his hat in both hands, while it is under his armpit in the shots from the front. (00:12:55)
Continuity mistake: After seeing the aborted baby, Quaid goes into the bathroom and plunges his head into water. His hair, however, is perfectly dried afterward. (00:35:35)
Revealing mistake: When Mr Goodall is attacking the bloke near the start, he is supposed to be hitting the other man really hard, but doesn't come close to hitting him.
Continuity mistake: Sophie Marceau's Jeanne meets the Hachette executive Robert (Didier Flamand). She enters the room with handbag and jacket in one hand. She then follows him into the other half of the room. Now she has her clothes in her right hand and her bag is in her left. Not just that; the man had the folder in his left hand in the first shot, but in the new one it's in his right. (00:04:25)
