Other mistake: One of the villains says "With pleasure" after looking at Calculus and his radio. The other villain has a cigarette in his mouth. In this shot, you can see the cigarette has two ends to it. The edge of it cannot be ash because that would have been washed away in the rain.(00:03:15)
Other mistake: The villains look at Calculus on his radio. In this shot, Calculus has a reflection in the mirror but his eyes don't seem to have a reflection at all.(00:03:05)
Revealing mistake: The villains stand in front of Marlinspike Hall. The shot after a close-up of their feet shows the clouds along with a storm. Look to the lower left corner and you will see part of the grey cloud doesn't have any color on it, like the animation cell has been scratched.(00:02:50)
Continuity mistake: When the rain storm starts, the part of Tintin's hair that sticks up flattens down. After Nestor appears with an umbrella and they take off running, Tintin's hair is sticking up again.(00:02:30)
Continuity mistake: Snowy finds a bone. He bites down on the middle of it. When Tintin takes the bone off him a few seconds later, Snowy is suddenly biting the near end of it.(00:01:15)
Continuity mistake: Whilst Bond and Eve are in the Macau hotel, Bond's bullet wound noticeably alternates in size and shape throughout the scene.(00:49:50)
Visible crew/equipment: In the Shanghai hotel, Patrice goes into a lift and Bond jumps onto the side of it. Whilst the lift is rising, Patrice looks outside of the lift. The shot cuts to an exterior shot of the lift. When it cuts to the exterior shot, for just the first few frames a camera can be seen attached to the lift, used to film the shots of Bond.(00:43:20)
Audio problem: When the Victory Fund Gala begins, when the woman next to the metal detector gives Victoria her necklace back, Victoria replies "Thank you, ma'am", somehow without pursing her lips on the "ma'am", revealing it's a dubbed line.(01:21:45)
Continuity mistake: Just after Frank knocks out Alexander Dunning, the scene cuts to Sarah and Victoria having a conversation about how she met Frank. At one point during this conversation, Sarah says "Of course now I'm a fugitive and the CIA wants to kill me and I'm hiding in a hole". Right at the end of the shot where Sarah says this line, it can be noticed that her lips are apart. In the immediate following shot her lips are fully closed.(01:03:45)
Continuity mistake: During the airport shootout, Frank tells Marvin to unzip his pig teddy that is revealed to contain a grenade launcher, and he shoots at a gunner on top of a container. Marvin then drops the pig teddy, which is visible in front of the containers as they take off running in the next shot to the next container. However, when the shot zooms out as Marvin points his middle finger at the satellite, the pig teddy is no longer there. It couldn't have been out of frame because the pig teddy was only two containers away from them.(00:40:00)
Continuity mistake: Frank and Sarah arrive at a motel and Frank removes the duct tape from Sarah's mouth. Sarah then says "If you let me go now, I won't press charges". Note the two necklaces around her neck when she says this. There is a butterfly attached to one, lying above the other necklace. The shot then cuts over to Frank. When the shot returns to Sarah, the butterfly is now several inches below the other necklace. Once again, the shot cuts to Frank where he then says "I was in the CIA". In the shot after that shows Sarah again, the butterfly has gone back to lying on top of the other necklace. She could not have moved the necklace around during the shots of Frank since she was tied up.(00:15:35)
Continuity mistake: After killing all of the assassins, Frank places bullets in a frying pan and turns the stove on. When the bullets go off, the rest of the assassins start shooting at the house, destroying a snowman on Frank's porch. In all future shots of the porch afterwards, not only has the snowman disappeared, but there's also no sign of the snowman's remains either.(00:09:05)
Continuity mistake: Near the start when the assassins come after Frank, Frank injects one with the syringe that was intended for him. The half of the syringe that has no liquid has a noticeable plastic grey color. It then cuts to the close-up, and the half with no liquid now has no grey color.(00:07:55)
Factual error: In the very first shot of the movie, a clock is shown ticking. The time on the clock reads 05:59:56. It is obviously AM because a few seconds later at 06:00:00, Frank wakes up as if it was morning. As Frank sits up, clear daylight is visible outside of the window. This scene is supposed to be set during winter. We know this because there are many Christmas decorations. Since this is meant to be winter, it should still be dark at that time of day.(00:00:40)
Suggested correction:At the beginning of the movie it's September or early October if latest in the year. At Cleveland's latitude there's enough sunlight at 6am to experience such lighting through a window facing south.
First, what in the film places the opening scene in Sept or Oct? There's too much snow on the ground for it to be either of those months (it doesn't snow in September and rarely in October, but only late October). Second, even if it was set in October, the sun doesn't rise until around 7:30AM or 8:00AM.
I disagree. I think what Bishop73 wrote above is correct. The opening scene at 6:00 AM showed daylight, which would be too early for October, November, and December in Ohio. The movie apparently begins in December based on the amount of Christmas decorations in the neighborhood. Sunrise might be between 7:30 - 8:00 AM and twilight is about 30 minutes prior to sunrise. It simply would not be that light out at 6:00 AM.
Continuity mistake: Episode 3, Citizen Brown: When Marty and George are checking over the surveillance tapes to see who attacked George, George says to Marty "I remember cleaning the playback heads at 5:30. The attack couldn't have been very long after", but in the next scene, on the same day, the clock on the courthouse tower reads 5:03, even though prior to this, George stated he was cleaning the surveillance tapes at 5:30 that same day.
Continuity mistake: Episode 3, Citizen Brown: Marty smashes the DeLorean window trying to get the tyre iron in the window. All of the glass that smashed suddenly disappears.
Continuity mistake: When Sam tells everyone it's closing time, he asks Harry how he got into the bar whilst he is playing snooker. He replies and then places a white snooker ball two inches behind a blue ball. There is also a yellow ball about three inches to the right of the blue ball. In the next shot, the yellow ball has suddenly moved a foot away from the blue ball. The yellow ball returns to its original position three inches away from the blue ball in the next shot.(00:00:10)
Continuity mistake: The old Irish man has white pale skin. In the shot after the gorilla shows himself to the public, the old Irish man instantly has brown skin.(00:43:10)
