Continuity mistake: On Permian's last drive the announcer says they have 75 yards to go. The ball is spotted at the 27 yard line. This would only be 73 yards to go. Announcers are very meticulous about getting the correct numbers in sports in regard to distance, so it's not like they've just rounded it off. (01:38:50)

Factual error: When the coach and his family are leaving Wal-Mart , we get to see the new color scheme for Wal-Mart stores. In the '80's Wal-Mart store signs and exteriors were painted in brown and white. This sign is blue and white with red and blue stripes down the building. This is obviously a modern Wal-Mart building. (01:16:00)

Factual error: The Bank of America logo seen atop the scoreboard is a relatively new logo from the mid 1990's. It was not in existence in 1988 so should not be in the movie. (00:56:25)

Continuity mistake: After Beatrix plucks out Elle's other eye, Elle begins to kick and flail in the bathroom. A shot of the toilet has magazines and bottles neatly on top of it. The next shot the bottles are tipped over and the magazines are on the toilet seat. Elle never got close enough to the toilet to knock these items over. A few shots later and the magazines that were on the toilet seat are no longer there. (01:19:55)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When Beatrix squishes Elle's eyeball with her foot she is in the threshold of the door. The next shot she is halfway down the hall and picking up the Hanzo sword. We do hear Elle in the background and her screaming is continuous. Beatrix could have never gotten from the threshold of the door to halfway down the hall that quickly. (01:20:10)

luchador

Continuity mistake: Magic jar of mustard - When Bill is making sandwiches the lid on the jar of mustard is off. The shot changes to the other side of the counter and the jar is back on the mustard. Later on we see the lid is once again off of the jar. (01:33:00)

luchador

Continuity mistake: Magical bread bag - The bag of bread continually opens and closes then open then closes without anyone touching the bag numerous times depending on the shots. (01:32:05)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When Budd is done making margaritas, the margarita mix bottle has the full label facing Elle. After he walks around the counter to give her a margarita, the bottle has spun halfway around and now the full label is facing where Budd was and the half label on the back is facing Elle. (01:06:35)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When Budd is talking to Bill, 1/4 of the razor blade on his necklace is tucked in his shirt. In the next shot is completely out of his shirt. (00:17:45)

luchador

Continuity mistake: After Budd shoots the bride with rock salt he turns her over to inject with a drug. When he aims the needle to inject her it is from her left side and aimed at her left buttock. When they show a closeup of the injection Budd's arm is coming from the direction of her feet and injecting her in the right buttock. (00:28:00)

luchador

Visible crew/equipment: When they show Elle's face from inside the toilet you can see Plexiglas between her face and the camera. You can also see a round outline in the Plexiglas that I presume is the reflection of a camera lens. (01:16:20)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When O-Ren takes off her sandals to fight the bride she pushes her right sandal out from under her. It slides on top of the snow and does not push around a lot of snow. No snow collects around it. In the next shot when she takes off her left sandal, the right sandal now has a lot of snow that was pushed up around the side of the sandal and collected beside it. It is also sunk much deeper into the snow than in the previous shot. (01:31:35)

Deliberate mistake: When the Crazy 88 crew is coming in to attack the bride they use one of the shots twice. It is the one that shows 1 guy jump over a banister and go to the left of the screen then another guy comes directly after him and heads directly towards the camera. It happens at 1:21:49 and 1:21:53. (01:21:45)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When the bride is holding a table, GoGo throws the mace ball at it. She then pulls the mace ball back through it. The table splits in two. The piece of table that falls at the bottom of the screen, the bride's right hand side, falls completely apart. The legs have broken away from the table top. In the next shot this piece of table is standing on end with the legs reattached. (01:18:55)

luchador

Continuity mistake: When O-ren chops of Boss Tanaka's head, the head is going in the direction of the boss to the left of Boss Tanaka. It is already on its way down and at eye level before the shot changes. The next shot we see the reaction of that boss and the other bosses but the head is no where in the shot. The head then reappears in the next shot and lands in front of him. (00:02:55)

Taps (1981)

Continuity mistake: Shaving cream reappears - When Cadet Major Morelan is shaving in front of the mirror he shaves his right side of his face then shaves part of his left side of his face. The next shot is a closeup of him in the mirror and the left side of his face is unshaven and completely covered with shaving cream. He then begins to shave the left side of his face again.

Taps (1981)

Continuity mistake: When Cadet Major Morelan is talking to the officers in the Admin Building about a plan of action. He is constantly leaning agains the table and standing upright. When they finally agree on the plan of action, he says "agree?" he is standing upright and away from the table. The next shot the officers immediately respond and Cadet Major Morelan is leaning on the table with two fists then stand upright when he hears sirens. There was not enough time for Cadet Major Morelan to lean against the table again between the question and response.

Taps (1981)

Continuity mistake: Disappearing bar of soap. When the two younger cadets are in the shower the one on the left places his bar of soap on the soap dish. Tom Cruise then pushes him aside. In the next shot Tom is placing his bottle of shampoo on the same soap dish. The younger cadet never had time to get his bar of soap out of the soap dish so that Tom could put his shampoo on it.

Taps (1981)

Continuity mistake: When Cadet Major Morelan is unbuttoning his jacket he unbuttons the top 2 buttons and the bottom 2 buttons. This leaves the middle 3 buttons fastened. He then sits down and is talking to Tom Cruise, Sean Penn and 1 other Cadet. In the next shot when he stands up, the bottom 3 buttons are now unbuttoned and only 2 buttons are fastened. He had sat down with his hands on his knees and that never changed. The button could not/would not unbuttoned itself.

Without a Paddle (2004)

Factual error: When the 3 guys have just safely gone through the rapids, they hear a roaring sound. This is leading to a waterfall. The water around them and the leaves in the water are perfectly still. A few seconds later they are going over the waterfall. A river just before a waterfall would have a strong current leading to the waterfall. this should have been the case with the river, but there was no current whatsoever prior to the waterfall.
