5th Jun 2010
Audio problem: Right after the Jamaicans are massacred in the office tower, a bunch of reporters are all broadcasting from the scene. The camera moves along a row of them. Their mouths aren't in sync with what they are saying. (00:25:50)
2nd Mar 2010
Visible crew/equipment: At the beginning when the guy is telling Bruce the story about the limo, they come out of the elevator and the camera starts tracking backwards. It casts a following shadow on the wall behind the two actors. You can make out the film magazine, and the head of a crew member. (00:04:50)

Continuity mistake: When Leo has the doctor against the wall near the end with the syringe in his hand, in the angle looking at the doctor, the needle is closer to his neck, but when it switches sides to Leo, he is holding the syringe farther from his neck, within the space of seconds.
28th Jan 2010
Continuity mistake: When Jr. is driving with John Ritter on the top of the car, just before they go through the store windows, the cars in the parking lot change significantly from different angles. In one shot a pickup truck is backing out which would block them, but it is gone in the next shot.
18th Dec 2009
Continuity mistake: When the "graboids" are testing the buildings, they test the house with the mother and daughter on it. Watch the sky in the background. It goes from sunny to overcast, then back to sunny in a matter of seconds.

14th Sep 2009
Visible crew/equipment: After Malak causes the rocks to fall at the waterfall, he is thrown off and flies outward, but comes back towards the rocks as if he is swinging on a wire harness. If using a DVD player, the wire harness can be seen right as he starts to fall. (01:24:20)
14th Sep 2009
Revealing mistake: When Conan's assistant Malak is climbing down the waterfall, he causes some rocks to fall, one large one obviously lands right on him, but he is fine in the next shot. (01:24:15)
14th Sep 2009
Revealing mistake: In both shots rowing toward the ice castle and back from it, the shot is obviously using some sort of rear projection, as the film running behind has marks such as hairs and scratches that have been amplified. The contrast between the main shot and the rear projection is different too.
13th Sep 2009
Visible crew/equipment: During the opening fight before the queen reveals herself, the camera shadow, along with the shadows of a few crew members can be seen when one of the fighters is thrown to the ground. The camera pans down, and you see its shadow.

13th Sep 2009
Audio problem: Around half an hour into the film, some kids are listening to a tape of the radio show and a teacher takes the tape out because he doesn't like the content. As he takes the tape out, the audio ends right after the tape door opens, when it should have ended a little sooner, if it was actually coming from the tape player. (00:32:35)
7th Apr 2009
Visible crew/equipment: About an hour and 12 minutes into the film, Russell Crowe is chasing the guy in the Bronco. After he gets to where he is going, he stops by the window of a building and watches some men enter. The camera changes to his point of view and pans to the left. As it is doing so, its reflection becomes visible in the glass. (01:12:30)
27th Mar 2009
Visible crew/equipment: When the camera is pulling back really fast being chased by the people in Africa, its shadows can be seen multiple times on the characters and the walls.
17th Mar 2009
Other mistake: Throughout most of the sequence in Hugh Hefner's office, the framing of the camera cuts the main character's head off. This is not a cinema error, this is bad framing. The framing fixes itself then goes back to cutting the character's head off.
17th Mar 2009
Visible crew/equipment: During the beginning of the prom party scene, the camera pans from left to right down a street. On the left side of the frame, the shadow of the camera equipment can be seen at the start of the shot.
