Continuity mistake: During the scene when Martin and Cray are in the morgue, Cray throws the baseball bat at Martin. When Cray throws it it is upside down but when Martin catches it, it is rightside up. However, you never see the bat flip.
Nightwatch (1997)
Directed by: Ole Bornedal
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Nick Nolte, Josh Brolin, Patricia Arquette, Erich Anderson, Anais Evans
Continuity mistake: When the main character goes to check the place where the dead bodies lie, after having seen the red light flash, the rope above the supposedly dead body is still swinging. If you keep watching it you can see that it keeps moving with the same frequency.
Revealing mistake: When the main character has a cigarette in his booth, smoke rises before the cigarette is lit.
Katherine: Oh my god.
Martin Bells: This just doesn't happen! This is not happening! Cray, why are you doing this? What the hell are you doing?
Inspector Thomas Cray: Stop asking for the "how" and "why" Martin.
Inspector Thomas Cray: Have you ever been killed before? I'll be back in a minute.
Martin Bells: You're a fucking nutcase.
James Gallman: That's Mr. Fucking Nutcase to you.
Question: Who is the man in the picture in the office of the hospital? Is it supposed to be Nick Nolte when he was young, working as the night watchman?

Chosen answer: It is intended as a nod to the original 1994 version of the film, which supposedly featured the same picture in the watchman's booth.
