Continuity mistake: When Brody is out looking for the teenagers on the police boat, he is shown approaching the lighthouse while passing a buoy on the left of screen. When we see Brody and the police boat from behind the top of the lighthouse, there is no buoy anywhere. (01:23:55)

Continuity mistake: When the teenagers are near Cable Junction on their wrecked boats, they see Chief Brody coming towards them on the Police Boat. We then see a close-up of Brody, and from his view he is approaching Cable Junction and the teenagers from front-on, with the teenagers on the right. When we see Brody approaching them as seen from Cable Junction, he approaches them from a completely different direction. He comes from behind them as if he approached from a different side of the island.
