Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

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)

Continuity mistake: Chatting poolside on the lounger with Lionel and Claire, Birdie Jay says "No masks, I can breathe again." Kathryn Hahn was adjusting her suit with her hands on her sides, and suddenly they are on top of the laptop. She then closes the bathing robe, which is open again when Hudson says "Look at this pool." And when Claire started adjusting the swimsuit, Kate Hudson's hand suddenly wasn't on the hat too.

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)

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: Lionel discusses with his fellow tech people the various crazy ideas the boss faxes in the middle of the night. There are several fax sheets rolled on the table throughout the scene. When he mentions the "Crypto Kids app", some sheets have been straightened out and lie on top of the rolled ones, but when the delivery person calls, there's nothing on top of the paper roll. (00:02:15)

Continuity mistake: Speaking to Miles for the first time, Blanc foes for a handshake but Miles' sunglasses switch hands. And when Blanc sidesteps to let him face directly Andi, he lowers his arms, but they are up again in the next shot. And then, Edward Norton's right hand gives a thumbs up in the reaction shot, with the same arm he just lowered before. (00:20:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Duke mentions Benoit Blanc 's presence to Miles for the first time on the beach, and at the same time his girlfriend is walking away from the eccentric billionaire. The next shot does not properly follow; Dave Bautista 's hand is back on top of his hat, Whiskey and Ed Norton 's arn positions don't match. (00:20:45)

Continuity mistake: When Birdie hugs Miles on the beach, his shades are in a different position by the guitar headstock between shots. (00:19:50)

Continuity mistake: During the scene on the pier that sets the movie in Greece, in most close-ups on Benoit Blanc you can see lines tied to both the bitt and the metal ring behind him, while the other angles show no cable or ropes secured and nothing on that side of the pier. (00:13:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Efficient Man portrayed by Ethan Hawke tells the guests to remove the masks. Birdie Jay removed it already in the wider angle of the pier, but she removes it again in the next shot when he shoots her in the mouth. (00:16:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Hearing his name, Claire asks Benoit Blanc if he's THAT famous detective, the one who solved "the thing and the thing."

Sammo

Audio problem: Blanc and Lionel are talking about Andi on the ship headed to the island. "In one legal move, he cut her out completely", Lionel says, but the second half of the phrase his chin (as you can tell by his conspicuous beard) is not moving. (00:18:45)
