Continuity mistake: When Strabo is pointing his gun at Oz and Oz hits it with his flowers, a shot goes off. Then it shows a lamp being hit. A split second later the vase beside it also breaks. There shouldn't be a split second between the two items breaking. A gunshot at that range would make both the lamp and the vase break at the same time. (00:21:35)

Continuity mistake: When Lazlo's men begin to shoot inside Oz' house, Oz runs out. At the same time Lazlo turns on the light. Then we hear the engine on Oz' car start. It's impossible for Oz to have gotten to his car THAT fast. (00:21:40)

Continuity mistake: When Lazlo's men are shooting at Jimmy's house there is a shot of Oz getting up from behind a counter and banging his head to a frying pan. We can see the pan start falling, however when it cuts no pan is seen falling. It wouldn't have fell to the ground this fast. (00:31:40)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Oz, Jill and Jimmy run through the door hidden behind a closet, as it cuts from inside you can see them turning right immediately as they get in the door.

This means that they in fact are running through the banister, however the banister is now gone. (00:31:50)

Continuity mistake: When Oz, Jill and Jimmy are eating and Oz is arguing about why they had to dump his car and rent a new car, Jimmy says "Someday you will".

Oz: A pillar of salt?
Jimmy: That's right. Moses said that. Read the bible, Oz.
