Continuity mistake: When John says good-bye to Samuel you see them from across a brook, sitting on the bank. In the next shot they are shown from behind and the brook is gone. To top it off, John even walks off in the direction where the brook was before. (01:41:35)

Continuity mistake: When Samuel shows his new toy to Rachel she looks out of the kitchen window into the fields. Two shots later she looks out of the same window and, surprise, there are Eli and John putting up the bird house. When she talks to Eli later there is same window in the background, with no bird house to be seen. (01:23:50)

Continuity mistake: On the way from Lancaster to Philadelphia the length of the train changes. It's fairly long when it enters the Lancaster station; after leaving the station, in one shot it's just a locomotive and one car, while in a later shot it's a locomotive and three cars. (00:09:00)

Continuity mistake: When the train overtakes the cart you see in alternating shots either the cart on the road with clear field in between or, in an angle showing Rachel's and Samuel's faces, a built-up area with station and factory looking buildings. (00:08:50)

Continuity mistake: In the garage shooting John uses a white car for cover. This car is parked a bit diagonally, thus providing cover because McFee is attacking from the front. After the shooting the car is parked straight and closer to the wall. (00:30:45)

Continuity mistake: When John puts up Rachel and Samuel with his sisters they are shown to their bedroom. The sister goes down the stairs and says a few words to John before he leaves. When she comes back Rachel and Samuel have already changed into their nightgowns - not at all enough time for that. (00:21:15)
