Continuity mistake: In the training centre, after Brutus throws the spear and after Katniss has shot arrows at the enemies made of orange light (when the shot pans out) the weapons they used have disappeared and are not on the ground. (00:59:10)

Suggested correction: That's not a mistake but intentionally done to show the technology. It's not explained how it works, but the weapons disappear as it hits the targets.

Continuity mistake: When Cesar is introducing the show on the eve of the games, he says "And unfortunately..." and raises a pointed finger above his shoulder level, then says."say good bye to all but one" however the camera has changed angle and his hand should be visible but is not. (01:06:40)

Question: Exactly how is Peeta pretending that he and Katniss are having a baby supposed to get them to cancel the games?

THE GAMER NEXT DOOR

Answer: Peeta knows that he and Katniss are Capitol favorites and that their fans have been enthralled by their (fake) romance. By announcing their bogus elopement and a faux pregnancy, he is attempting to win over peoples' sympathy in hope they will demand that the games be halted in order to protect the "unborn child." People generally have more empathy when infants and small children are involved, though his attempt was unsuccessful.
