Revealing mistake: When Henry is out on the balcony and Sara comes out carrying a bottle of beer, Henry is leaning with his elbows resting on a ledge. It can be seen that there is some kind of pad or cushion on there because you can see it give when he moves. When they sit the beer bottle down on there the sound effects of one touching stone or concrete can be heard. That should not be heard if the bottle touches the pad or cushion that is on there.
Regarding Henry (1991)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Harrison Ford, Annette Bening, Michael Haley, Stanley Swerdlow
Genres: Drama
Continuity mistake: As Jessica pours cream into Henry's coffee, in one shot the level is right at the top of the cup. But in the next shot, the level has dropped.
Henry: I can read! I can read! Ajax! This is Ajax.
Trivia: Harrison Ford almost turned down the role of Henry Turner because the character was a trial lawyer and feared being typecast as he had already played one in Presumed Innocent (1990). He changed his mind when he found out that Henry would only be serving as a lawyer in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
Question: If he forgot how to read how was he able to paint "Ritz" while at the rehab facility? Letters wouldn't have made any sense to him.

Answer: As Henry heals and goes through physical rehab, he gradually regains some of his former cognitive abilities, while completely relearning others. Also, the letters did not necessarily have to mean anything to him. The Ritz logo is just a visual picture to him that he has recreated.
