Other mistake: In one part of the lifeboat scene, Pi crawls under the tarp to get some supplies, yet he never sees Richard Parker under it.
Other mistake: When Curt crashes into the force field when he is trying to jump the gap on his dirt bike, his point of impact is ridiculously high up. (00:59:40)
Other mistake: The way Sid interacts with the whale's blowhole is illogical in relation with the manner the water is being discharged. When viewing Sid up close, it is seen that the water stream is divided and outspread due to Sid's manner of blocking parts of the blowhole with his body. Despite that, when viewed further away the water stream is intact and traveling straight ahead. Once the water stream is seen doing just that, the following shot shows a boar getting hit by it as if it somehow hadn't already occurred, not only that, but the stream of water that was displayed in that shot was delimited, despite the water discharge never being paused and Sid never changing positions. When Sid starts rotating, delimited streams of water are seen traveling in various directions one at a time, when there should have been multiples at a time according to what is viewed when close to Sid.

Other mistake: When Steve, wearing his improvised shark cage, heads underwater to turn off a relay to prevent the others from being electrocuted by a falling wire, he is shown breathing through a snorkel taped to several metres of hose, open at the surface end. In reality, human lungs can't expand enough to pull fresh air through more than a couple of feet of hose. That's why diving hookahs use an air pump to feed air from the surface to the regulator mouthpiece.
Other mistake: After the daughter visited with her mother for the first time, she is reviewing the footage with the priests. No such camera angles were taken for what they reviewed, only an overhead room camera would have been available.
Other mistake: In hospital, Maria's oxygen mask has a kink in the line near her mouth, which would mean she wouldn't be getting any oxygen at all - or very little.
