Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Continuity mistake: After their first meeting Barry is watching Lena while she is walking away. He is holding a coffee mug in his hand with the handle away from the hand. When the camera angle changes as he goes back in he is holding the mug by the handle. (00:05:45)

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Barry meets Lena for the first time there are a few shots through the gate where we see some cables and other junk on the wall across the driveway. When Lance opens the gate a little later everything is gone. (00:03:45 - 00:08:30)

Visible crew/equipment: When Barry talks to the phone sex lady for the first time and she asks him if he is watching a porn movie there's a reflection of a crew member in the glass-framed picture behind him. (00:25:15)

Other mistake: Barry tells the phone sex lady that she sounds very personable. The German subtitles translate personable with "vorstellbar" (imaginable). (00:26:55)

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Barry cuts up his credit card you can spot some number sequences (000 and 21 344) which don't match the number he had given to the phone sex operator (5102 1717 8118 6554). (00:32:35)

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Continuity mistake: After his arrival at Hawaii Barry calls his sister from a phone booth to ask her for Lena's hotel and phone number. From the side we see two men standing next to him, but between shots these two men get replaced by two women. (01:01:35)

Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

Continuity mistake: The scene where Barry and Lena meet at the hotel is shot very artistically. We only see their silhouettes when they fall into each other's arms, and immediately after that the silhouettes of an endless row of people rushing by them in both directions. However, in the shots before we saw each of them running towards the other, and there was absolutely nobody around except them. In addition, some of these other people walk by more than once, like a tall slender lady with flying hair. (01:03:55)
