Other mistake: In the comics it is always very clear that the clothes Venom and Carnage appear to be wearing are shapes the symbiotes take and not actual clothes. In the movie, Eddie wears his own clothes, and so does Kasady, since we literally see him stealing the flamboyant outfit from some guy, and the clothes stay solid even when the symbiote is incapacitated. In that case, it makes no sense that the clothes at no point get damaged when they get stabbed or even torn open like it often happens in the movie.

Stupidity: Throughout the whole movie, wanton murderer Cletus Kasady and Shriek both spend an inordinate amount of time "almost" killing people, since they take forever to deal with them even having them completely at their mercy. Kasady even grabs Anne, tells Venom "You're gonna watch her die" and...leaves, to go eat her on top of the tower where Venom in theory would never see.

Stupidity: Kasady and Shriek set free Anne's husband, so he'd phone Eddie telling them about the 'wedding'. But they have as hostage Anne and the detective, and both have Eddie's phone number already. Talk about convoluted. Also, Eddie of course has his own phone and the police never thinks to trace him thanks to that. (01:06:35)

Other mistake: Kasady kills Dr. Pazzo hanging/strangling her with one of his tentacles coming from above. When you look at the section Frances was held in though, and considering the moderate speed the tentacles showed in their slithering while on camera, there's no way they could have reached her in time - that without mentioning the fact that Kasady himself appears inside the cell with no explanation - if he was already there by hacking, it does not explain the movement in foreground at the beginning of the scene.

Stupidity: Shriek aka Frances Barrison was taken away from the first mental facility when she was a teenager, having grown up there. She then spent the rest of her life, over 20 years, inside what basically was a cubicle of plexiglass. Despite that, the moment she is free she can stick drive like a pro. The way her life was presented, she shouldn't even know how to drive. (00:52:50)

Sammo ★

Deliberate mistake: When Kasady and his symbiote are fighting for control at the bell tower, they are reflected inside Venom's eyes...who is lying on his back in the middle of the cathedral and is nowhere near and at the totally wrong angle for a reflection like that to happen. (01:15:50)

Continuity mistake: When Anne purrs "I love seeing you in action", Mrs Chen lowers her arm, but is still pointing at Dan in the next shot. (01:00:45)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Dr. Pazzo (which literally means "Dr. Mad" in Italian, incidentally) turns towards the computer with the voice synthesizer before the phrase is spoken. (00:51:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In the end credits, Christopher Godwin is credited as "Headmaster (1997). " The scene when he appears had as caption "St. Estes Reform School - California 1996."

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the beach scene ending, Venom's shadow keep changing between shots appearing inconsistent with the sunset. (01:24:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the priest begs for his life as Carnage threatens his biological symbiotic dad with "Death to you, father", the hand with the bible is higher in the side shots and lower in the intermediate closer camera angle. (01:08:25)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Venom violently opens the large portal of the church, he barely takes one step but the doors close basically through him. (01:08:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the 'apology' scene in the alley, Anne's hair all of a sudden moves from the left part of her chest going all the way above the shoulder. (01:02:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Chen tells Anne that she broke Eddie's heart, Michelle Williams' hair goes from the front to the back of her shoulders. (00:59:15)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: Makes sense that Anne would go to Mrs. Chen's store because Eddie tipped her about it. Less sense that she actually finds Venom there as if the ever impatient starved alien had been manning the counter of the store all that time. (00:59:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Shriek's scream is strong enough to cause the explosion of a helicopter at great distance, but the frame of the windshield is unscathed. (00:54:15)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: When Casady crushes Shriek's cell, they both have their hands on the glass wall that gets shattered, nothing protects them, and yet she has her hands all over him to passionately make out - the shattered glass is like it never existed. (00:52:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Casady goes "Ta-dah!" on Dr. Pazzo suddenly appearing inside Frances' containment zone. He lowers his arms, which are still raised in the reverse shot. (00:51:25)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: It is of course possible that Eddie Brock heard nothing at all about the biggest news in the whole city and State if he did not turn the TV, check the phone or computer for about 24 hours. But there has been a manhunt for Kasady for that long of a time and nobody including the police checked on the one man Kasady is trying to kill, and who was chilling at home all along. Also, obviously the "breaking news" moment is not breaking nor news. (00:40:25)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Venom and Eddie are having a domestic dispute. Items rain off the window in front of a homeless person. The other passers-by change between shots. Not only that; in the second shot there's one extra who turns around acting startled by the man's shout. Does not really make sense; heavy objects just crashed down a few feet from him, anyone would have been startled by that first and foremost. Wrong reaction time/ direction of the extras. (00:32:45)
