Revealing mistake: Many times through the movie it is noticeable that the distant background hills and beaches are backdrop paintings. A good example of this is when Mitch and Melanie are talking on the hill at Cathy's birthday party. (00:49:00)

Other mistake: When Mitch is in the car, after listening to the radio he switches it off and the subtitles read 'Clicks of radio', yet it should be 'Clicks off radio.' (01:49:50)

Continuity mistake: In one shot, a boy hides under a table, when the birds attack at Cathy's party. In the wide shot you can see the table is quite far onto the grass, away from the patio. But a few shots later, the table is right beside the patio. (00:50:20)

Continuity mistake: When Melanie is walking up to the counter in the bird shop she has a black purse in her hands. In one shot she is walking to the counter with her purse in her hands, but in the following shot, her purse is laying on the counter and is now taking off her gloves. (00:02:25)

Continuity mistake: When the birds attack the town, two horses gallop down the street, dropping crates of vegetables.
