Continuity mistake: Scarlett Johansson is not shown sitting in the passenger seat of the car, while Rupert Friend is talking to her about what his company does. We should see the back of her head, but we do not. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: When Duncan is leading away the D Rex using a flare, he goes underwater for a moment and the flare's red light is not visible. The scene cuts to Zora, who has red light from the flare on her, which is not possible.
Continuity mistake: Henry and Duncan are in a lab towards the end of the movie. Henry is talking about it when a dino shows up to cause trouble. Henry has a flashlight in his hand and is holding it up. The scene cuts, and the flashlight is down by his side.
