- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the film, Karla Wilson wins a radio contest after answering "Rio de Janeiro" to the question "What is the capital of Brazil?" The capital of Brazil is Brasilia, not Rio de Janeiro. But this is explained later in the film.
- Continuity: A Colt revolver like the one Julie uses to shoot Ben Willis only holds six shots. Julie fires eight times and it misfires once, when Ray tries to shoot Ben Willis, making it hold nine bullets.
- Continuity: After Ray's "accident" he walks down the street with his left arm in a sling. In the next scene and from then on it's his right arm that is in a sling.
- Factual errors: When Willis pulls out his hook to kill someone, it makes the stereotypical sound of metal against metal. However, the hook would need to be sheathed to make such a sound; furthermore, a curved hook is unable to be sheathed to make such a sound.
- Factual errors: When Karla falls through the glass roof, her back should be all lacerated.
- Errors in geography: There are significant amounts of Spanish architecture, which is not indigenous to the Bahamas.
- Errors in geography: Hills and rock formations reveal true filming location (Mexico), not the Bahamas.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: After Julia explains about what happened two summers ago and that she didn't want to drag anybody else into it. Karla mouths, "It's too late for that now," but all we actually hear is, "It's too late for that..."
- Revealing mistakes: Julie keeps her eyes open for at least three minutes in the tanning bed, which can cause severe sight problems almost immediately.
- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When at the club Julie is shown holding a stick with two cherries on it. Then when they return back to her to ask her to dance there are three.
- Factual errors: A revolver used at the end of the movie holds 6 shots. If 1 was a dud, there should have been only 5 shots left available at most.
>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<
Goofs below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.
- Continuity: SPOILER: When Ben accidentally stabs Will, blood is all over his mouth. But in the very next shot showing Will, his mouth is clean and blood is just starting to come out.
- Factual errors: SPOILER: When Ray is in hospital and his ECG flat-lines everyone panics thinking that he's dying when in fact he's unhooked himself and jumped out the window. ECG monitors have a warning message on the screen similar to "Leads Off" to indicate that the leads are not longer on the patient avoiding panic like it caused in the film.
