Dark Glasses

Revealing mistake: Running away from the killer, Diana and Chin randomly get attacked by snakes, because why not. You can see in close-ups of Ilenia Pastorelli's face when she screams that there is no trace of the snake wrapped around the neck of the body double in other angles. (01:01:20)

Revealing mistake: Diana is blind and not accustomed yet to her condition; multiple times throughout the movie if she bumps into something she staggers or drops what she is holding - for instance she drops the shopping bags when she bumps into the post meeting Chin. And yet when she is escaping from the police at Chin's house, she bumps into a drying rack and does not even flinch - in fact if you look closely you can see that the actress moved her hand on purpose to hit it cleanly at the proper angle that would make it fold. (00:44:55)

Revealing mistake: Diana needs to make herself a new DIY cane. She tried to break a few branches, and one eventually makes a snapping sound - you can see though that it just slips into her hand coming from out of the frame. (01:08:00)

Revealing mistake: When inspector Gerry Baldacci gets in the way of the white van (as if there were a single white van in all of Italy), you can see on the asphalt the single distinct tire marks of the perfect size and path from previous takes. (00:43:00)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: After the accident, some bystanders rush to the car hit by Diana's. A woman leans against the car window spotting a child inside; you can see on the window very conspicuous handprints in that spot from previous takes. (00:17:10)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: Ispettore Baldacci gets hit by the evil van, and you can see as he flies back from the impact that his face is clean, but in close-up of course all of a sudden his face is a crimson mask. (00:43:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The protagonist is puzzled by the sight of many people looking at the sky. When she decides to pull over and figure out the reason, the kids that were playing soccer in the lawn have changed position between shots. A much bigger inconsistency happens a minute later, when the eclipse obscures the sky (with a rather lo-tech effect that borders on being a revealing mistake itself), the kids have stopped playing ball, but in a longshot they are still shown playing. (00:03:00 - 00:04:15)
