Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Revealing mistake: Towards the end when Harmony calls Perry's phone as she's lying on the ground, Harry grabs the phone and looks at the caller ID to see her name. Unfortunately that's not the display showing who's calling. Anyone who has a Nokia phone will recognise that that's showing the contact list with just two entries - Harmony and a random number. The fact that it says "contacts" at the top of the screen is a bit of a giveaway.

Continuity mistake: After Perry and Harry leave the lake with the girl in the trunk, the headrests are missing from the front seats, but when the shot cuts to them arriving at Harry's hotel, they reappear.

Factual error: On Day 3, look at The Embrey Star newspaper when it zooms into the headline. Above the headline is the newspaper's web address, hardly appropriate given the paper is from 1980.

Continuity mistake: When Harry and Perry were on a rooftop after finding out the identity of the girl in the lake, Harry was talking non-stop and Perry puts up his left hand to Harry's mouth to stop Harry talking. When the scene cuts, we see that Perry has his right hand up instead of his left.

Continuity mistake: When Gay Perry returns to toss Harry's stuff out of his car window, he drops Harry's jacket right outside the car. But when we cut to a wide shot a moment later, Harry's jacket is several feet away, as if it had been thrown.

Revealing mistake: In the party scene, when Harmony opens the Johnny Gossamer book, it can be seen at the top of the pages that the book she is reading is actually Maureen Child's "Man Beneath the Uniform". (00:12:05)

Revealing mistake: After Harry and Perry are shot during the climactic shootout, the supposedly unconscious Perry can be seen unclenching his hand so Harry can get his gun. (01:29:45)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Harry is lying in the backseat because his finger broke back off, he is lying down so his head is behind the driver's seat. When he wakes back up, he is lying the other way with his head on the passenger side.

Gay Perry: That it?
Harry: No, that's the other corpse from the last guy who stayed here.
