Continuity mistake: In the food court scene, the first shot of Mariette shows her standing with two other replicants. The shot then changes to another angle, and Freysa has suddenly appeared, approaching them. She could not have been out of frame in the previous shot, because there is a woman with goggles and a mask to the right of shot, and when Freysa approaches, she has already walked past the woman. (00:43:55)

Other mistake: When K is shooting at the car Luv and Deckard are in, in the shot of Luv gasping and sparks flying due to the car being shot at, the co-pilot sitting on the right is shot in the head. The bullets that hit the co-pilot come in through the front windshield and the frame of the car beside it, as shown by the bullet holes made in the windshield and frame, and hit him in the side of the head. A blood splatter from where the co-pilot was shot can be seen on the windshield, but the angle of where the bullet comes in through the windshield and hits him on the head doesn't match where the blood splatters. The bullet comes in from the front of the car, hitting him on the front side of the head, but the blood splatter is seen on the windshield directly in front of him. If he has hit in the front side of the head, the blood splatter would come out through the back side of his head, and not hit the windshield. The only way the blood splatter going on the windshield could have been possible was if he was shot through the back of the head, and not through the side of the head. (02:19:55)

Continuity mistake: When Luv strikes Coco on the back of the neck, on the floor he is bleeding from his nostrils, a tear streak of blood is shown coming from his eye, and has blood spewing from his mouth. There is a shot of Luv for a few seconds in between these two shots, but the amount of blood that Coco is shown producing appears far too quickly for just a few seconds. (00:49:55)

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Badger is analysing the wooden horse, he begins turning the knob on the console, with two fingers turning the knob and the rest of his hand laid against the console, but from another angle, he is turning the knob with his entire hand. (01:34:25)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: To analyse the wooden horse, Dr. Badger has it placed on a scanner, places a plastic container over it, lowers a console onto the container and rolls another piece of equipment up against the container. These pieces of equipment remain on the scanner, but just after K says he wants to know where the horse is from, the console has been raised to its original position, the plastic container has been removed from the scanner, and the other piece of equipment has been rolled back to its original position. The equipment could not have been moved when it was off-screen because there was there would not have been enough time in between shots. (01:34:45)

Continuity mistake: When Luv confronts Lieutenant Joshi in her office, in the shot where she switches off the computer monitors, there are a series of files on her desk in front of the monitors. There is a white file, next to it a black file, and next to that a beige file with two files under it. When Joshi stands up, the beige file and the files under it have gone and there is now a gap between the white and black files. Later on in the scene, after Luv picks up Joshi's body after stabbing her, the black file is on the left, the beige file is back and in the middle, but no files under it, and the white file is on the right. (01:38:00 - 01:40:05)

Question: Is K meant to be the boy that supposed lived (while the girl survived)? Or did the girl get passed off as a boy? Why does K have her memories? What is the back story to the doctor? Why is she in a containment area?

Answer: The birth records were purposefully mixed to hide Ana Stelline (Rachael and Deckard's daughter). She was passed off as a boy and raised in the orphanage. K was given her memories because she secretly was giving replicants pleasant memories of her own. She is in a containment area because it is said she has an autoimmune disorder, but this is likely a ploy by the freedom fighters to keep anyone from examining her and discovering that she is at least part replicant.
