Continuity mistake: When Brand, Andy and the rest enter the room with the fireplace and printing press, the water cooler is covered in cobwebs, but when Chunk knocks over the water bottle just about all the cobwebs are gone. (00:40:25)
Continuity mistake: The red bandana that Brand wears during the first half of the movie repeatedly changes the way it is folded around his forehead. Note the white/black distinctive designs that constantly change between shots. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: When Data starts the printing press, two closeups show the two $100 bill face templates on the machine as it prints the counterfeits, however, what is being printed on the papers are the images of $50 bills. (00:42:10)
Continuity mistake: When Brand tells the others that the $50 bills are fake, Stef takes the newspaper with the Fratelli family mugshots off the post, from over the telephone. Then when Chunk gets the ice cream out of the freezer, the newspaper is back up on the post, but when the kids lift the dead body off the floor, the newspaper is missing from the post. Finally, in the shot just before Chunk shouts, "Guys, I'm stuck with the stiff," as the kids run into the fireplace, the tired newspaper is now lying on the printing press. (00:42:45 - 00:45:15)
Continuity mistake: When Stef finds the newspaper with the mugshots over the telephone and shows it to the others, how the newspaper is folded differs between close-up and wideshot. (00:42:50)
Continuity mistake: When Chunk is in the freezer collecting a bunch of the ice cream in his arms, their positions change between the wideshot and close-up, when he sees the frozen corpse. (00:43:35)
Continuity mistake: We see Mouth climb down into the fireplace passage after Brand and Andy. We then see a close-up of Stef's pink high-tops descend, being helped by Mouth (we see his rain slicker), who's already down there with Brand and Andy, who are visible in the background. It cuts to a close-up of Stef, with Data's white Nike high-tops climbing down after her. But the next close-up is of Mouth's feet (black Nikes) just coming down as Brand grabs his ankle and says, "Come on!" Impossible since Mouth was already down there. (00:45:20)
Continuity mistake: When Mouth goes down the hole in the fireplace passageway, the cooler base is right beside the fireplace, but when Mikey pushes Data and his backpack into the hole, the base is farther away. When Brand pulls the log holder over the hole the base is back, right beside him, but when Chunk heads for the basement window the base is farther away again. (00:45:45 - 00:47:20)
Continuity mistake: When Data does the 'bully blinders', his utility belt is high up on his waist and the flashlights are at the same height. Next wideshot the belt is much lower and the right light is much higher than the left. (00:48:10)
Continuity mistake: When Data's 'bully blinders' are on, just as the bulbs dim, in the close-up Data's cartridge holder hangs over his right shoulder to his left hip instead of the opposite way, as seen in the previous and following shots. Interestingly, this is not due to a flipped shot. (00:48:20)
Continuity mistake: When Chunk is picked up on the road by the Fratelli brothers and thrown into the back with the corpse, he starts screaming. His red jacket hangs off his shoulder, but rights itself between shots. (00:49:40)
Continuity mistake: At the country club, when Troy is going into the bathroom stall we can see the back and front cover of the 'Guns & Ammo' magazine he is looking at, but when he hears the noise and looks around he is holding a different issue of the 'Guns & Ammo' magazine. (00:51:00)
Continuity mistake: When Andy begins to lose it in the tunnel, Brand holds one lit lantern at the head of the line and Mouth holds another lit lantern at the back of the line (Mikey holds an unlit lantern). Next shot the lit lanterns have switched, just as they reach Chester Copperpot and Andy screams. Then in the next wideshot before it pans to the skeleton, the lantern Brand holds up switches yet again. (00:53:15)
Continuity mistake: In the first overhead shot of Chester Copperpot, his entire ribcage and his right arm bone are visible. In the following shots the boulder lies more than halfway up his ribcage and the arm bone is not visible any longer. (00:53:35)
Continuity mistake: When Data explains that the skeleton is Chester Copperpot, Mikey is crouching beside the boulder that fell on Copperpot. In shots facing Mikey, he's holding the book and baseball card, but in shots facing Brand, Data and Mouth he is not. (00:54:25)
Continuity mistake: When Mikey opens Chester Copperpot's wallet, the wallet and what's inside differs between shots, as well as the way Mikey holds it. (00:54:55)
Continuity mistake: When they are with Chester Copperpot's remains, Mikey hands Data six sticks of candles and dynamite, but in the next shot Data takes hold of nine. (00:55:15)
Continuity mistake: After they find the skeleton key, when Mikey lifts the string in the dirt, which triggers the scythe to cut the rope, the rope differs between shots. (00:56:20)
Continuity mistake: After Mikey sets off the falling boulders by pulling the wire, when Brand climbs up to move the rock Stef and Andy are standing about four feet apart, but in close-ups they are shoulder to shoulder, and so it goes over and over again. (00:57:20)
Continuity mistake: When Stef explains to the others why they shouldn't take the coins of the well, Mouth is standing next to Data silently counting the money in his hands. In the next shot of Mouth explaining how his wish didn't come true, he is now standing farther away from Data. (01:01:20)
Chosen answer: Well, his ship is hidden in America where the people spoke english, so perhaps it was done for the benefit of those who were most likely to find the map. Must have been his idea of a joke.Actually though, I'm betting it was the result of the filmmakers not thinking that through.
