Continuity mistake: When Lazlo gets out of prison, right before he calls for Strabo, you see the prison guard start walking in the gate. When it cuts, he starts walking again. (00:08:20)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Strabo is tied to the chair and falls down the stairs, the chair remains whole at the top of the stairs. Later when Oz looks down the stairs the chair is at the bottom and is totally broken, and even if it fell down by itself it wouldn't have been smashed to pieces like that. (01:01:20 - 01:02:50)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Strabo picks up the knife from the jug with his mouth, the jug remains standing. When it cuts the jug has suddenly tipped over. (01:00:45)

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. You can also see a banister by the entrance. When it cuts to outside you see them running straight ahead. This means that they in fact are running through the banister, however the banister is now gone. (00:31:50)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: In a late scene in the movie when Jill St. Claire angrily drives away after arguing with her husband in the parking lot of the motel, the side shot of Jimmy the Tulip shows his golden lucky charm dangling from his neck outside his white t-shirt. In the next frontal shot when he turns around to talk to Oz, the necklace is now tucked back inside his t-shirt. (01:08:10)

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". If you look out the window you can see a woman wearing a red and yellow shirt walking by. When it cuts you can see the same woman standing outside the window, but now she is standing in the opposite direction of which she was walking. (00:36:50)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Oz is having a conversation with his wife, Cynthia, over lunch/brunch in a restaurant in LA, there are two bouquets of black and white balloons for the two tables behind Oz, one off to the side of the screen on Oz's left. Just after Oz quickly ducks under the table, the next wider shot shows that one of bouquets right behind Oz is no longer there. (00:18:10)

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy throws Oz at the painting leaving it askew. Later when Oz wakes up the painting is straight again, without anyone being near it. (00:58:30 - 00:59:25)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Lazlo gets tired of the kids fighting he shouts for them and lifts his right hand. When it cuts he is holding up his left hand. (00:01:00)

Mortug

Plot hole: Jimmy tells Oz to "pull out the wires" from under the dashboard to hotwire the car. Firstly, car manufacturers (including Buick) don't have the ignition wiring that is easily accessible, and secondly, assuming the car didn't have an immobiliser, at what point was the steering lock broken? Er, it wasn't.

Plot hole: Why do they need both halves of the torn dollar bill to access the bank account? All American bills have a copy of the serial number on each half, no matter which way you tear it, as long as it is in roughly equal parts (top and bottom or left and right).

Continuity mistake: In the scene with the buttercup scout, Cynthia takes the gun from Oz and after Oz walks off she turns around twice to lay the gun down. (00:11:30)

Tiffany

Continuity mistake: When Oz, Jill and Jimmy are out and about to eat and Jill asks if she should get some mustard, Oz has both his hands down. When it cuts his right hand is on the table. (00:40:30)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Lazlo shoots the men in the trunk, the man behind him grabs his hat with one hand. When it cuts it shows him grabbing the hat with both hands. (00:12:05)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Lazlo is tearing the dollar bill apart we can see he tears it all the way. When it cuts he is still tearing it. (00:01:35)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy gets off the phone with Lazlo and Oz asks "What did he say?", Oz puts his hand to his face. When it cuts his hand is gone. (01:00:30)

Oz: What, no Jewish prayer before we have our ham and cheese?
Jimmy: You got a problem with my religiosity, Oz? Do unto others before you turn into a pillar of salt.
Jill: Exactly. Unless they're a rat. Then you can shoot them in the eyes.
Oz: A pillar of salt?
Jimmy: That's right. Moses said that. Read the bible, Oz.
