Continuity mistake: When Walter Mitty is on the skateboard riding towards the Icelandic town, there is a shot of him riding along wearing Nike Frees, the camera then cuts to a close up of his shoes and the board, and the shoes in that shot have changed to Vans authentic.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
Directed by: Ben Stiller
Starring: Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott, Patton Oswalt
Continuity mistake: When Walter teaches Rich how to use the skateboard, the pavement is on the sunny side in the close-up angles, but in the shadows in the wide angles.
Continuity mistake: The skateboard on Richard's video (sent to Walter via mail) is different from the one Walter gave him from Iceland. (01:39:00)
Walter Mitty: To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.
Sean O'Connell: Beautiful things don't ask for attention.
Trawler Captain: You have at least a minute before you freeze.
Walter Mitty: What?
Trawler Captain: You are safe.
Question: How is it possible that picture 25 was in Walter's wallet the whole time, when the picture is of him later in the movie after he had received the wallet?

Answer: The picture was not taken afterwards - that spot is just a favorite Mitty likes to use to review pictures. That is why Sean O'Connell was quizzing Mitty's mum about his life/work habits, so he could take a picture of his friend for the last issue.
