Revealing mistake: When Kelly is copying her dissertation, there is no paper being fed through the copier feeder or any printed pages going into the output tray. (00:12:40)
Suggested correction: Watch carefully. When Kelly turns round, you can see, by her right hand, paper coming out of the copier and landing in a pile on top of each other.
Continuity mistake: At the Christmas meal, Chuck gets passed the candied yams. When he takes the yams, there is a spoon in the dish. When the shot changes to behind him, the spoon is not in his hand. (00:14:30)
Continuity mistake: When Tom Hanks sees the ship from the beach, it is obvious there is a pane in front of the camera. However, as he is jumping up and down through the scene, his shadow changes angles from in front of him, to a very low angle behind him.
Visible crew/equipment: When he collects coconuts for the first time if you look in the lower right corner you can see some sort of light flashing, I'm guessing maybe a light meter or possibly a two-way radio that the crew was using.
Other mistake: When Tom Hanks throws the spear at the fish it's sticking straight up. He's too close for that to happen. He would've had to throw it straight up a long way for that to happen.
