Continuity mistake: The flower earrings from Kat Valdez in the press conference are worn with the little petals on the inside; when she comes out of the press conference on the roof, the flower earrings are worn with the little petals on the outside. (00:39:33 - 00:42:28)
Continuity mistake: The angle/position of Katie's fork near the corner of the table varies, even though she has her hands on her lap or folded on the opposite side of her plate. (00:03:04 - 00:04:30)
Continuity mistake: Banker Mr. Anderson picks up his glasses from the desk and holds them near his face, then picks them up a second time. (00:51:35)
Continuity mistake: Laura's hair was (flipped) above her shoulders when she brought Cody to school. When she was in her car, her hair was much longer, going at least a couple or few inches down her back. Laura's hair was back to its shorter length (above-the-shoulders) when she got to the typing room at work. (00:15:44 - 00:16:06)
Continuity mistake: Will is at the police station reviewing the gas station camera footage. The first time they look at it there are two cars around the corner. The car she was taken in is the first one and behind it is a blue SUV. Then the camera view is blocked by a truck. The truck pulls away and the kidnapper's car is gone. About 10 seconds later they rewind the footage to get another look at the kidnapper but the vehicle that is behind the kidnapper's car is now a white truck. (00:27:52 - 00:28:17)
Continuity mistake: Adrian and "Chris" (Parker) are drinking coffee on the front porch. In most right-side views, Adrian holds her cup by the handle in her right hand. In most left-side views, Adrian holds her cup by the handle in her left hand. (00:32:15)
Continuity mistake: When the waiter puts Lily's "Cleopatra Special" plate in front of her, the long, white, curved ingredients (bean sprouts?) stick upward across her plate, but none are visible or sticking out in alternating views of her plate. (00:08:30)
Continuity mistake: The bottle of beer on the bar in front of Everett disappears in one shot but re-appears. Also, depending on the camera's angle, Everett either has his right hand holding onto the edge of the bar or is below the bar (out of sight). (00:04:25 - 00:40:14)
Continuity mistake: Jail cells have a rectangular slot with an outward flat extension for setting down food trays. The guard checks cells after "lights out" and there are no flat extensions for trays. (00:23:50 - 00:24:35)
Continuity mistake: When ladybug is sitting at the table with Lemon, and they start fighting over the pistol, Brad Pitt drops the gun's magazine out of the tub onto the floor. In the subsequent shuffle you see the bottom of the gun with a magazine still in it and immediately cut to it on the floor. The next shot after he grabs the magazine off the floor you see the gun with no magazine. (00:40:20)
Continuity mistake: After Art yells for Jesse to come to eat lunch, the stick of butter on the plate is roughly parallel to the edge of the table, but is diagonal when Art and Jess come to the table. A later view from the other end of the table shows the stick of butter parallel to the edge again. Some of the family members take a roll out of the basket, but none take any butter (so did not move it). (00:20:45)
Continuity mistake: Numerous times throughout the movie (largely over the course of one day) Abby's hair was inconsistent within and between scenes. It ranged from neatly combed straight back with no obvious part and a low or higher bun to relatively neatly combed back but angled to the right with a slight or obvious part to messy and frizzy, sometimes with strands dangling in the right front or behind her left ear. With all the "action" going on, she did not have the time or opportunity to comb or fix her hair.
Continuity mistake: In the bar scene after Padraic tries the "new tactic" on Colm, in some shots of the scene you can see 4 pint glasses on the table (three empty and one full for Colm), and in other shots there are 5 (three empty, one full and one half full). (01:20:47)
Continuity mistake: The tattoo artist is almost finished drawing the American flag on the boy's upper right arm. After he wipes it and there's a quick camera shift, the tattoo is less complete - the stripes are bloodier, more jagged, and of unequal width like they were earlier. (00:14:31)
Continuity mistake: Overlooking the sudden drop from 1:02 to 0:17 seconds on the countdown clock, the one-second interval beeps are not accurate. In the countdown from 10 seconds, there are approximately or precisely 10 beeps, then the countdown clock shows 4 seconds remaining. (00:19:55)
Continuity mistake: In the first view of Rockit holding the surfboard with both hands, he has a loop of hair midway along his center-parted hair, but the loop is gone in the next front view of him. (00:11:14)
Continuity mistake: Harry sets his pen off the left side of his notepad and has both of his hands to the right of it, but the pen is on top of the notepad when the camera shifts. (00:06:40)
Continuity mistake: The way Banshee's bangs are combed back vary a few times in a couple minutes (elevator fight scene). Sometimes, the left side is higher than the right side and other times the highest point is near the middle of her forehead. The "curve" at which the bangs are combed toward the right side also vary, from little to no curve to wavier toward the right. (00:06:36 - 00:07:57)
Continuity mistake: The old man bit JP's right arm about 8" above his wrist or a few inches below his elbow. When JP moved and sat down, the bite mark was a few inches lower (about 3" from his wrist). JP also had his right arm down at an angle when he was bit, but (when he had his arm bent upward at the elbow) there's no blood toward his wrist. (00:37:36)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the flashback in Greece, the pieces on and around the chessboard change. When we first see the board, most of the white pieces are on the back row, and then we see 2 pawns removed. In the next shot, when the king is knocked over, some of the white pieces on the back row have moved and there're several pieces that have been removed.
