Character mistake: Shortly after Felix arrives at Oscar's apartment, he goes to a window and asks if it's 12 floors. Oscar rushes over, slams the window shut, and says it's only 11 floors. Since Felix had to push the button in the self-service elevator to get to the correct floor, and since he had been to the apartment many times before to play poker, he would have to know that it was 12 floors.

Revealing mistake: When Walther Matthau is making sandwiches for his poker pals (during the movie's first poker game), Matthau drops a slice of bread on the kitchen floor. If you look at his hand, you'll see that he flicks his thumb to make the slice of bread fall.
