Evan Almighty

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Evan and God are talking under a tree in a field, God is holding a wooden staff. As the camera cuts back and forth between Evan and God, God's hand changes position from holding the top of the staff like a cane to holding the staff further down like a walking stick.

Continuity mistake: During the flood, if you look at the clothes of the people on the ark, they are completely dry, despite several waves crashing over the boat, soaking them.

Continuity mistake: When Evan and his family are standing on the ark just before the flood, Dylan's watch shows a completely different time than one of the spectator's watches - neither of which around 'midday' (noon) when the flood is supposed to happen.

Continuity mistake: In the first part of the movie, Evan is driving his new Humvee and several birds fly over and poop on the windshield. Of course he turns on the wipers and it streaks all over the place. When he is done, there are still obvious and large streaks on the drivers side yet during the next 10 scenes, the streaks appear and dis-appear several times.Most obvious when he parks and walks past the front of the vehicle.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Evan's beard keeps coming back, the shaving foam on the rest of his face - which should be unchanged - changes between shots when he looks down, and then up again and sees the new beard.

Question: How come not a single person saw that Evan managed to "change his clothes" instantly? There were people sat behind him looking straight at him. Wouldn't they see him in his suit one second, blink and then see him in the robes? They all laughed and thought he was crazy but surely they all saw him come in wearing the suit and it's not like you could miss someone getting changed.

Answer: God wanted to see what he wanted them to see, to believe in something you can't believe requires faith.
