Extract picture

Continuity mistake: When Joel and Dean sit at the booth to talk, Dean places two beers on the table such that the labels are facing the camera. As they talk and the camera switches back and forth between the two friends, Dean's beer switches orientation showing the label in some shots and not in others, despite the fact that he does not touch the bottle whatsoever. There isn't enough time between shots to allow him to move the bottle or drink any as the bottle remains full.

Angel of Death picture

Continuity mistake: During the fight in the bathroom, Zoe and the villain break a bathroom stall door and side-wall down. In the next shot the door is back up in its original position.

Youth in Revolt picture

Continuity mistake: The location of Mr. Ferguson's body on the rug (while he was apparently in a "mushroom stupor") changed a few times. He started with his head near the lefthand edge of the rug, but was about a yard toward the right edge when Nick was walking past him. A little later, Mr. Ferguson's feet were at the right edge of the rug, then about a foot beyond the rug, but his body was back to the middle with the next camera shift. (01:01:35 - 01:04:23)
