14th May 2004
Continuity mistake: In the diner, when the camera shoots the twins from the other side of the table, a sugar bottle can be seen. However, when it shoots from Bob's side of the table a bottle of hot sauce can be seen (it should be seen from the other angle as well, but is absent). (01:16:50)
14th May 2004
Continuity mistake: When Bob takes May to talk in private, after she returns, April is holding a bottle of beer. When the scene cuts to them walking down the pool, April can be seen in the background with no bottle. (01:23:40)
14th May 2004
Continuity mistake: When May is talking to Bob in private her hair goes from being over both shoulders to being over one, to being over both, etc. (01:24:15)
14th May 2004
Continuity mistake: While May and Bob are talking in private, there is a clump of leaves in the pool that appears near the life jacket, which wasn't there in an earlier scene. (01:24:05 - 01:25:55)
14th May 2004

14th May 2004
Continuity mistake: When they are getting on the bus after being turned down by some agents there is a guy with a red shirt getting on the bus. The scene cuts and shows the guy with the red shirt smoking but not on the bus. The other people in the shots are mixed up, too (the only one that stays the same is the girl Walt hits on). (00:25:15)
14th May 2004

14th May 2004
Revealing mistake: In the beginning when squirting ketchup and mustard on the buns, the angles the bottles are held at and how the condiments come out of them show that he is not actually squirting anything. It's all done with computer graphics. (00:03:50)
14th May 2004
Continuity mistake: When the boys are first laying out the buns the second bun from the left in the front row has a yellow stain on it. When it comes back to them about to put ketchup and mustard on the buns the stain is missing. (00:03:25)

Continuity mistake: The scars on the Nazi's face change. They are very short and close to the eye socket when young, but longer and further down the cheek when old. (00:08:45 - 01:19:15)
12th May 2004
Deliberate mistake: The tattoo on Mr. Funktastic's chest actually says Mista Fuktastic, not Mister Funktastic. (00:19:30)
12th May 2004

Plot hole: It is highly unlikely that the murderer knew Phil was going to put his ear to the stall when he heard the babbling. It is even more unlikely that the murderer is going to get him on the first stab through the stall. (Which also requires a lot of strength). We also have to assume that he spent time hanging out in the bathroom knowing Phil would go there to begin with, and that other two men with weak bladders were doing the same simultaneously forcing the victim to go to the stall to begin with. (00:07:45)
Suggested correction: The killer is incoherently whispering in a strange way in the adjacent stall to lure Phil to press his ear up against it. After stabbing him through it, the killer inspects the knife inquisitively, as if checking to see if he actually got him. While it's still not a terribly plausible scene, the killer's demeanor suggests that he encountered Phil in the restroom by coincidence and improvised the kill, rather than anticipating all of Phil's actions as part of a perfectly executed plan.
The general logistics and planning of the murder are a separate issue - because no, the murder was planned. The entry just says that it's "highly unlikely", putting it mildly, that the killer could guess the exact position Phil would pick to listen to the noise. Just a few inches up or down, left or right, make a huge difference. The killer looks at the knife admiring the results, because if he had any doubts that he got his victim, he'd be trapped in a bathroom with a screaming, wounded, angry Phil and plenty people who could come and help.
To be more clear, the correction here is that Phil had heard strange talking/whispering rather than music, which makes it at least a little more plausible the killer would think he might put his head up against the wall at a certain spot. Unlikely for sure, but unlikely isn't a mistake, it's just what movies do. Phil's death was planned yes, though it stands to reason the plan was more "surveil and strike when vulnerable" and less "wait for him in this particular stall we know he'll be next to."

Continuity mistake: When Sedgewick is writing the last Julius Caesar Essay, he is stopped in the middle of a right-hand page by Mr. Hundert. When the teacher looks at it, he's written completely to the end of the book, which ends on a left-hand page. (00:48:35)
