The Mission

Continuity mistake: When Robert DeNiro renounces his vows of obedience, he enters the room with his hair tucked behind his ears. During the conversation with Jeremy Irons, the camera cuts away and returns showing that DeNiro's hair has changed style - the camera then cuts away a couple of times and when it returns his hair is behind his ears again. (01:25:00 - 01:26:00)

Deliberate mistake: During the gunfire of the Portuguese soldiers at the end, seconds before Jeremy Irons is killed, an old Indian woman is shot in her chest, but the actress/extra forgets to react and continues walking.
