Directed by: Cate Shortland
Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Rachel Weisz, David Harbour, Florence Pugh
Continuity mistake: During the opening scene when the family is driving down the road, a newer McDonald's can be seen on the right-hand side.
Continuity mistake: The blue car gets pushed through multiple cars and is damaged. Shortly after in the same scene, the car magically appears undamaged.
Continuity mistake: When the ordered helicopters get close, there is a set of iron stairs in one shot blocking the door. A split-second later, when the door closes the stairs are gone.
Other mistake: Black Widow and her sister steal a BMW. Getting away they damage the left rear quarter. A few cuts later they show the car again and it has no damage to the left rear quarter. (00:40:15)
Yelena Belova: OK, you got a plan, or shall I just stay, duck, and cover?
Natasha Romanoff: My plan was to drive us away.
Yelena Belova: Well, your plan sucks.
Trivia: When Yelena is talking about Alexei wanting to relive his glory days as the Red Guardian, she sarcastically calls him Crimson Dynamo. In the comics, Crimson Dynamo is one of Iron Man's enemies. Ivan Vanko from Iron Man 2 was partly based on this character.
Question: Spoilers! The woman who Yelena kills at the start isn't seen hugely, but bears a passing resemblance to Olga Kurylenko, who's in the opening credits but isn't actually seen until nearly the end of the film. Does anyone know if this was a deliberate choice to misdirect more casting-savvy viewers as to the part she actually plays, or am I misremembering, and the woman at the start doesn't look much like her at all?

Chosen answer: Are you talking about the woman who has the mind control antidote that ends up freeing Yelena from the Red Room's control? She's a rogue ex-Widow named Oksana played by martial artist and stunt coordinator Michelle Lee.

That's her. It's only a semi-resemblance, but was close enough that I basically assumed if that was Olga Kurylenko she'd had her role cut down, or was a cameo, or might appear in flashbacks. Either way I didn't spend the film thinking "when's Olga Kurylenko showing up?", and anyone asking that of themselves presumably might figure out who was playing Taskmaster before the big reveal. I might just be overthinking it of course. :-).

I actually thought it might have been Olga Kurylenko at first as well.
