Continuity mistake: In the Gazebo scene, as Brantley is speaking to the NY bigwigs Vera has introduced him to, a number of people come to hear him speak, including a Pemrose Exec. When the scene cuts to Howard arguing with his department heads about the takeover, however, that same executive can be seen at the meeting.

Other mistake: When the executive team are jogging on top of the of sky rise, the last shot shows the building is in a horrible state of ruin. All the windows are broken out and it is definitely not the building Pemrose Corp was shown as throughout the movie.

Suggested correction: Windows are not blown out, and the building is not in any state of ruin. You are just seeing items on the window ledges on the inside.
