Audio problem: When Katniss kills Marvel with her bow and arrow when she's with Rue, the cannon (which goes off when a tribute dies) doesn't fire. This happens a couple of other times in the movie too. (01:25:25)

Suggested correction: This isn't a mistake. First the cannons never went off immediately as evidence by the fact that after the initial battle when tributes were killed, they don't go off until Katniss got away. Then 6 went off in a row. The people in charge of the games decide when they go off. Plus, after Rue is killed, the audio cuts from all sounds of the arena for dramatic effect. The cannons could have gone off then. Or they could have gone off during the District 11 riot.

Continuity mistake: In the evaluation scene where Katniss shows off her bow and arrow skills, there are 4 arrows total. However, when she leaves, all 4 are gone, and she only shot 3.

Correction: Katniss pulls the bow to her face, then the camera cuts to where she is aiming. While the camera is off her, she could have easily released the pull on the bow, re-positioned the arrow and then we see her pull it back a second time. Not a mistake.

The mistake is valid. You misunderstood what the mistake is. We see her pull the bow back to her face. The shot then changes to the arrow itself, and we see it being pulled back again. Even though the camera wasn't on Katniss the whole time, it was on the arrow the whole time and we never see it get released or repositioned.
