Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Continuity mistake: All the characters showed up for Miles on the beach by the 'Pisceshite' pier, and Duke asks "when's the murder mystery start?" In the reverse angle Peg holds the Luis Vuitton-bagged dress across her back in a different way, and the group with Birdie and Lionel is positioned differently to better fit the framing of the shot. (00:21:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Miles tries to talk to Andi and eventually tells her he is glad to have her there, and touches her shoulder. When he approached her, you could see in the background Whiskey and Duke, with the girl gesticulating. Many seconds pass and Miles asks Blanc to have a word with him; the path appears clear, but in the wide shot that follows Whiskey and Duke are in front of them, and she is making the exact same gesture as before. (00:24:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Miles removes his hand from Andi's shoulder after her icy stare twice in two separate shots. (00:24:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Birdie makes her way poolside she smiles at Lionel; in her slo-mo approach her left hand holds the foulard, but in the next shot she is holding the brim of her hat. (00:27:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The first time Jared Leto 's hard kombucha is mentioned, Blanc fetches a bottle from the scale model of Baby Blue. Notice Daniel Craig that begins to uncork it. Duke points saying "Iconic!", the angle changes, and now Benoit Blanc has yet to pick a bottle from the porsche-shaped cooler. (00:28:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the small scene with Duke firing his gun in the pool, Birdie's assistant urges her to go talk to Miles. Kate Hudson's hand goes on/off the hat between shots several times in the part of the conversation before she looks at Whiskey and him. (00:29:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: As Blanc walks away from the fax the first time he sees it, Birdie Jay is sitting with her legs across Miles ' lap, bathed in sunlight. In the next shot they are in the shade. (00:31:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Andi slow-claps Miles ' speech about the disruptors. She gives her half-drunk bottle to Peg, who is holding it by the base, but in the next shot has one hand on its neck. (00:34:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Andi starts lashing out on the Disruptors; when says that everyone knows who financed Claire's campaign, Kathryn Hahn 's hands switch position on the laptop; her right hand is on top of the left and viceversa. (00:35:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Andi's mic-drop moment interrupting Miles ' speech, Claire runs after her. Birdie is biting her fingernail, with a different position in close-up (her other fingers are up in the wider angle, lowered to let you get a better view of Kate Hudson later). (00:36:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Benoit Blanc chokes on the tamales, which turn out to be spiced up by Jeremy Renner 's hot sauce. He picks a bottle and, still coughing, walks up to Miles. As Miles says "pick your poison", you can see there's no bottle in his right hand, but it is back in the reverse shot. (00:41:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Miles gives Andi her glass; meanwhile on the background, Claire calls his attention. You can see she is holding her Pinot in her right hand, but the glass switches hand at the cut. (00:41:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Miles shows Birdie the Hummel figurine that acts as override button for the Mona Lisa, her grip on the tropical cocktail changes between shots. (00:42:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Peg nearly drops the glass statue as she observes the override button for the Mona Lisa, she fumbles in different ways between shots; the close-up begins with her left hand practically tucked under her armpit. (00:42:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Miles starts telling Blanc about Klear with a K, there's a close-up of Claire staring into space. The glass is held up higher in close-up, she already dropped it lower before the cut. Even more obvious a few moments later when the same angle is recycled after Lionel causes a loud noise. (00:44:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The first time Lionel confronts Miles about Klear's safety and his involvement, Miles interrupts him pointing his finger at him; it's the palm of both hands in the next shot, and again the single finger when it cuts back to the earlier angle. (00:44:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the dinner, during Miles' reminder that a murder will be committed, the movements of the guests don't match from cut to cut despite Miles speaking continuosly (for instance, Lionel in close-up strokes his beard and yet in the next shot he isn't and puts a drink down, and same for Birdie, etc). (00:45:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the reveal of the crime that hasn't been committed yet, Blanc points at the table to show the trajectory of the dart. Claire suddenly stands from her seat, but she is back sitting properly a moment later. (00:48:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After claiming his iPad, Blanc cautions Miles that "for at least one person on this island, this is not a game." His grip on the top of the chair changes between shots. (00:52:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The first time we see the scene of Birdie sitting poolside waxing about her and Miles' fame, she brings her left hand up to hold down the side of her large hat, which obscures the camera from seeing Ms. Brand sitting down next to her, and when done speaking she pulls the hat down from the brim. When the scene is shown later a second time from Brand's point of view, when Birdie is talking she isn't holding the side of her hat, and takes it off from the top.
