Continuity mistake: Dr. Chandra is in the logic circuits room reactivating HAL. He types words into a computer on the wall opposite the logic circuit panel (panel with the clear plexiglass blocks). In the movie 2001 there was no computer screen there; when Bowman is deactivating HAL you can see the flat metal wall with the red grid on the wall opposite the logic circuits. (00:55:50 - 01:34:05)

Deliberate mistake: Dr. Chandra returns to the Leonov at the end of the film with the device that Dr. Floyd designed to cut HAL's memory circuits. He hands the device back to Dr. Floyd, who tosses it in the air and catches it when it falls back into his hand. One problem - there was no gravity on the ship at the time. (01:44:00)
