• Continuity: When Ernest falls from the Castle, he hits the glass face-down, but when he is shown from below, his back strikes the glass. (Due to a scene in which he sinks to the bottom of the pool, retrieves the unharmed bottle of potion, and then swims up which was cut due to the change in the ending, ending the involvement of the potion in the story.)
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Madeline drinks the potion, she holds the vial to her lips for several seconds after the CGI liquid pours into her mouth.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Just before Madeline gets her head knocked down by Helen, you can see her body shift. This is because of body double replacement.
  
  
• Continuity: When Madeline is given the card with address of Lisle Von Rhoman on it, she tears it down the middle into two, and the two pieces she tears are torn neatly and straight down the middle. Yet later, when Madeline takes the two pieces of the card from her bag, they are torn much differently, and aren't torn straight and neatly.
  
  
• Continuity: When Ernest runs away from Lisle, after he nearly drinks the live-forever potion, he runs down a hallway and commences to open a door with a doorknob on the left side of the door. It then cuts to the other side of the door, of Ernest walking through the door (into the party), and now the doorknob is also on the left side of the door, yet is should be on the right side.
  
  
• Continuity: At the end of the movie you can see the bottle of spray paint rolling down the stairs and landing on the pavement. In the next shot, when Helen's body hits the pavement the bottle is gone.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: In the scene before Helen is shot, Bruce Willis' grayish makeup can be seen to end at his jawline, allowing a big patch of rosy skin to show through.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Ernest starts to bolt with the potion, Lisle says "Tom, Dick, Harry, get the potion from him!" He picks up the dagger she stabbed him with. As he does, you see her reflection on the glass table. Her lips do not move when she says those words.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: Helen has had a hole blown through her stomach by the time the "shovel fight" has begun. As Ernest leaves the scene, you see the shadows of the women fighting, only now the hole is in Madeleine's shadow, not Helen's.
  
  
• Continuity: When Lisle shows the potion to Ernest, she puts it on a small table. In one of the next shots, the position of the potion is different although she has not moved it since.
  
  
• Factual errors: When Ernest runs through ER looking for a doctor a short scene shows a CPR in action. On the ECG monitor a flat line can be observed, nonetheless the doctors try to revive the patient with an electric defibrillator. ECG flat line cannot be treated by defibrillation.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: When Madeline goes first goes to Lisle's house, a man/servant shows her to the parlor. Another man/servant moves over and lets Madeline sit down. When Lisle tells him to get up, you can see his battery pack or mic pack when he turns around and walks away.
