Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the scene when Sara and Chenille are walking to the club on the sidewalk, there are two people behind them.

Continuity mistake: When Sara first goes to the club you see many people street dancing and a lot of close-ups on other people in the club.

Continuity mistake: At the clinic, when Chenille is arguing with the woman, there's a man behind Sarah, with his arm around a boy, while another boy is standing in the corner.
