Continuity mistake: When Martha praises the Lord in front of the tomb for the apparent resurrection, Mila Kunis is looking at her from the door frame, sideways, but she is fully facing her in the middle of the door in the next shot. (01:36:20)

Sammo

Audio problem: At the beginning of the storm, Blanc follows Father Jud, who is going to the church to secure it. When he says, "Excuse me? Excuse me?" the sound does not match Daniel Craig's lips. (01:28:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Reciting prayers for Louise on the phone, Father Jud puts down on the table his closed fist, but in the next shot, it's just the fingertips. (01:27:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Blanc and Jud disassemble the Eve's Apple (or is it?) item. The bolts in front of the Jesus figurine on the desk change position between shots, and so does the light on it (given the direction of the shadow it casts). (01:21:50)

Sammo

Other mistake: When James gives Father Jud the receipt to sign, everyone is still present at the burial - Blanc and Jud are seemingly looking at Jeremy Renner in front of the sealed tomb. In the next scene, Jud is fuming and holding the receipt in his hand still, but everyone is already comfortably hanging out at the rectory as if they have been there for a long time. (01:07:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Father Jud falls asleep the moment he touches his bed. The book on the floor by the bed changes position for this last shot. (01:03:40 - 01:04:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Blanc tells Father Jud, "No, you did not think," after the unsuccessful search of the flask, Josh O'Connor's hand suddenly moved to his hip between shots. (01:03:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the flashback about the flask, the first time around we see the door close, leaving about an inch of space of distance from the wall, but seconds later Father Jud opens the door to retrieve the flask, and the door is noticeably even closer to the wall. (01:03:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Blanc puts his reading glasses on to look at the book club list. He then puts them away in his pocket, but the scene wraps up with him saying, "Come on, kids," holding his glasses together with the letter. (00:52:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Father Jud tells Blanc who is the mastermind who picked the book list the murderer may have used for inspiration (Oprah), Blanc is holding the list in a different way depending on the camera angle (when his hand is barely in the shot, it is pointed downwards). (00:51:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Sam closed the garage door, meeting Jud's eyes, the group of three sits at a table outside. Geraldine says that she owes Detective Elliott from Knives Out a fruit basket. Notice that Benoit Blanc doesn't touch the table, but he's leaning against it in the immediate response, and the discrepancy continues as the camera angles alternate. (00:50:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Father Jud spots (what he thinks is) the discrepancy in the picture Blanc is looking at, you can see in the wider angle that on the counter there's no plastic bag (it is actually behind it) nor paper towel used as a coaster. When he gets closer to the doctor bag and when Dr. Nat Sharp waddles towards the bar, both items are on it. (00:49:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Inside the "Diavolo" pub, Blanc is checking something out using the picture as a reference. In the POV shot, he's holding the frame, bending his pinky finger, but in the opposite camera angle, he's holding the four fingers straight. (00:48:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the morgue, Geraldine and Blanc react to Father Jud saying he shouldn't be there, turning towards him in two different ways with different timing in the two separate shots. (00:45:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the doctor pulls the blade out of the body, Jeremy Renner grips the devil head in a different way between shots. (00:35:50)

Sammo

Other mistake: During the Good Friday mass, you can see in the crowd Cyrus filming the function while Father Jud is praying, holding the cross. Once a puzzled Jud calls, "Monsignor?" and walks towards him, the camera cuts to Cy, who only at that point raises the camera and starts/resumes filming. Later on, the footage from that day is used as evidence by the forensics, and it's an uninterrupted shot with no camera movements. (00:34:30 - 00:58:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During Martha's first flashback about Grace, the debris in front of the 'harlot' changes between shots when she attacks the kid. (00:14:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Samson is cleaning up the exterior of the crypt, he puts the paint roller against the half-deleted 'tank' of the 'rocket ship' in a slightly different spot between shots. The natural light of the scene also changes between shots, as you can easily tell from the shadows cast. It's not an expressive choice, unlike many of the sudden light changes that happen in the movie. (00:09:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After we see Jud speaking for the first time with the groundskeeper as they drink Pepsi and watch the game, we get to see Jud and Martha working together in the office. The two opening shots are meant to be consecutive, but Martha is holding the paper just in a superficially similar way; her hand is on the corner in the wider angle but a couple of inches higher in the other angle. (00:08:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jud asks Martha about the 'harlot w...' he keeps hearing mentioned. She begins talking about Prentice's past and mentions he was widowed, with a daughter. She puts an envelope down on the desk, and the envelope is in a different spot in the next shot. (00:10:15)

Sammo

Fr. Jud Duplenticy: Here's what's gonna happen: Benoit freakin' Blanc and I are gonna ask you all some questions, and you all are gonna answer them and we're gonna get to the bottom of who killed Monsignor Wicks and why and then... that's it!

More quotes from Wake Up Dead Man

Trivia: Jeremy Renner plays a role in this movie, but he was referenced as an actor and indirectly appeared in Glass Onion, the previous movie of the saga. The Jeremy Renner "Renning Hot" Hot Sauce, with his likeness on the label, was a very important plot device. In his breakdown of the pub scene for Vanity Fair, Rian Johnson addressed this and said he placed a bottle of the sauce from Glass Onion in the pub scene, but it might not have ended up on camera; he couldn't find it during the scene breakdown.
