Continuity mistake: Mario was chewing a mouthful, then lifted his drink to wash down the food, but when the camera shifted, he was back to chewing a mouthful. (00:01:59)

Deliberate mistake: "Mama's Home Cooking" - a wood frame building in 1850 - was on fire in multiple spots (though not yet engulfed). The townsfolk lined up to pass a bucket of water to douse the flames, which would be futile given how involved the fires were, but they were able to extinguish the fires and the wood frame building was largely intact and the boards did not look charred. The building should have been smoldering hot for some time, but Angel was able to sift through the rubble to salvage some items. (01:45:58 - 01:46:56)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Angel had her hands very close to (almost touching) the towel, but when the camera shifted to a front view of her, the towel was a couple feet away from her hands. Also, the peppers that were to the right of her hands were suddenly in front of them (moved with the celery to her left). (02:00:00)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: Younger Tom dropped his policeman's jacket onto the "fire" and when Younger Marion came over to the fire (almost 30 seconds later), the jacket still had not caught on fire. The next time the jacket was shown, most of it still looked unscathed by the fire. (01:33:30 - 01:35:36)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: While Ben is talking to Eloise, his glass of alcohol is about three-fourths full, but when he lifts the drink to his mouth, his glass is almost empty. (00:07:20)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The appearance of young JR's hair has many inconsistencies. For example, JR's parted bangs (on the left) are long enough to hang part-way into his right eyebrow while he is walking toward the bedroom, but his bangs are well above his eyebrow when he is standing in the bedroom doorway. When JR is in bed that night, his bangs are separated along the right side of his forehead, but neatly combed together (no gaps) after a camera shift and contrary to gravity. (00:05:10)

Trivia: Talking about catching a Mermaid, one of the fishermen said, "Put an Alvey out there [ocean]." Alvey is a quality sidecast reel made in Australia. Another option was "berley" -scattering bait on the water to try to attract a Mermaid. (00:06:07)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The position of Beth's truck facing her motel room (106 or 706?) changes during the time she is talking to Holly. Sometimes the truck is closer to the room next to hers (105 or 705) and to where Beth is standing. Also, the truck's front tires are different distances from the curb. (00:48:25)

KeyZOid

Trivia: The Mermaid spit "ink" at Dr. Beyer in his car. This suggests a Mermaid is similar to an octopus, squid, or cuttlefish (which have "ink sacs" - though anal, not oral!) and is a type of mollusk, not fish. However, mollusks are invertebrates, and the Mermaid in the movie apparently had a spine/backbone. (01:13:28)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: There wasn't much blood noticeable on the axe after it was used to chop off the mermaid's tail, but a little later when the man was carrying it over his shoulder, it was heavily covered in blood and dripping. (00:14:17)

KeyZOid

Character mistake: Amber was a poster artist and Ben was a musician. Amber said to Serena, "You know a lot of people and can afford rent, so why do you want to live downtown?" The downtown area or center of a city is especially attractive to artists (as Amber should know) for its art/cultural/entertainment opportunities and experiences. Amber was also implying that it was more expensive to live in the suburbs than in a downtown apartment (where rent can be unaffordable to all but at least the upper-middle class). (00:07:20)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: Even though Serena gave Amber reasons/excuses as to why she could not provide her with pre-rental approval information (current address, why she was moving, recommendation from a previous landlord, reference from a friend), Amber allowed Serena to lease the loft after she showed her a wad of money to pay for nine months' rent in advance. Even a first-time landlord would not lease a room without conducting an adequate background check and would be leery enough to seek a better-qualified tenant. (00:06:17 - 00:06:50)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Numerous times throughout the movie (within and between scenes), the length of Amber's bangs varies - from above, to touching, and into her eyebrows. The length even changed, at times, from the beginning to end of a short telephone call.

KeyZOid

Character mistake: Reina asked Cory if they could "do that thing" because it was helpful for her medical school training. Reina then put a raw slab of steak/meat across his forehead and made slits in the meat as well as jabbed at it. A medical student studying to become a brain surgeon should know about and practice the safe handling of raw meat. (00:23:10)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Tom told David and Lily, "Whoever murdered that girl [Jessica] didn't have sex with her. They used a corn cob." The crime scene photo of the "corn cob" actually showed a partially opened "husk of corn" or "ear of corn." The "cob" is the inner part of the ear beneath the kernels of corn and could more realistically be used to "assault" someone. (00:33:30 - 00:38:30)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Lisa's glass was around one-third full. After she took a relatively long drink (leveling the glass to her mouth), the glass was still one-third full when she set it on the bar. Views from the opposite side showed the glass to be fuller, then returned to one-third. (00:55:33 - 00:56:00)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Rancer was shoving dinner rolls into his mouth, demonstrating his competitive eating ability/skill. He still had some in his mouth, but after he ran his hand over his mouth, there suddenly was no sign of any food in his mouth. (00:16:10)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: After Whitney wrote her phone number on JD's hand, the brown paper lunch bag was situated to the right of the can of RC cola, not the left. The bag of chips relative to the sandwich also changed. (00:18:14)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: After Ben stopped his car in front of Carter's house, a front view of the windshield did not show either of the shattered sections from the earlier collision with the deer. Damage was first on the driver's side then on the passenger's side, but now on neither side. (00:15:55)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The wrapping paper from David's breakfast sandwich transformed with camera shifts, going from almost flat in the front to somewhat curved upward to having an overall bowl-like appearance. (00:20:00)
