Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Helen is bashing the bar, the gestures of the other characters in the background are inconsistent from shot to shot (just look at Kate Hudson and Kathryn Hahn's reaction shots, for instance). Same when a few seconds later she throws pillows in the fire. (02:04:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Helen pleads someone to say "I saw the napkin before he burned it." In the background, Miles is standing, hands down his sides. The camera cuts awa a split second on Claire and Lionel, and then there's a close-up of Edward Norton leaning with the back, and the palms of his hands, against the table. Same few moments later. (02:00:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Helen reveals herself holding the envelope on the stairs, she holds it with one, then two hands in the two separate shots. (01:52:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the flashback, "Andi" is dead with her right arm on the last step in most shots (as she was the first time we saw the scene) or the one below (like when Blanc is crouching and curses saying "Sh*tballs." (01:45:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the argument between Birdie and Peg that Helen happened to record, Kate Hudson's hands are in a different position in her lap in the reverse shots when she says "There's no stopping it" and just after she admits "It's my secret phone." (01:37:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In their bathroom consultation, Blanc compliments Helen about the 'interesting stuff about Whiskey'; he is leaning on the sink, and then suddenly he's gesticulating with that same hand. (00:01:29)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Whiskey is walking with Helen towards the pool. When they are under a colonnade, the Taurus pendant shifted towards her left pectoral much more than it was in the previous shot. (01:26:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the flashback, Helen tells Blanc as he kneels to tie the shoelace "Duke and Birdie, I think they're onto me." Notice the sunglasses poking from the top of the frame, and the right hand that moves away showing that the shades are in her left hand. But it cuts back on her in a shot from the waist up and her glasses are in the right hand. (01:25:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The night before the boat trip, Blanc tells Helen "This is your last chance to back out"; his forearm for just that shot is on the back of the bench. (01:24:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Andi topples the shelf and various books fall off scattering on the floor. In particular, "The Innovator's dilemma" is propped on top of a different open book. In the close-up where she pulls the napkin out of it, the book shifted without anyone touching them. (01:23:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Helen shows Blanc the notepad where she drew the Clue-style tab, the letters are drawn in a different way from the close-ups (most obvious hint; the M for motive does not touch the grid). (01:24:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Debriefing Helen at the restaurant the night before the impostor game begins, Blanc tells her how to behave on the boat. Her hands are off/on the table between shots. (01:18:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the retelling of the story, Blanc holds Helen's phone in his right hand, and yet the close-ups are of a left hand. (01:13:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Blanc says "Where's Duke's phone?" holding his wrist in the closer angle, but his hands weren't there in the previous wider view. (01:04:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Duke falls back on the glass table and spasms. His left hand is on top of the right one, but as he rolls over the hand switched place. (00:59:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Miles fixes himself a drink saying "fake it till you make it." He then joins the others, but look at Birdie Jay and her assistant; completely different poses between shots - Kate Hudson is even dancing with and then without her massive glass. (00:58:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Miles seems to have pep talked his friends into staying for the rest of the weekend after the momentary crisis brought by the premature end of the murder mystery. He says "You're staying" to Lionel, who is holding his glass with both hands, then suddenly with one hand, the other hand being on his knee. (00:58:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Claire drunk-staggers down the steps after Andi left the party, she holds chips in her hand, or does not, depending on the camera angle. (00:57:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Andi leaves after Duke's words. He walks down the steps, and Birdie looks at him, drink in hand. Depending on the shot, the left hand isn't or is on the straw. And a moment later Miles and Blanc join back the crowd, and her hands switched place, drink supported by the left and right hand on the straw. (00:56:55)
