Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Benedict pulls the corpse's finger, his watch is right next to the suit's sleeve. A frame later there's a 5 centimeter gap in between both.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: During the shootout the baddie lying dead on the couch has his head turned to the left. A frame later it's facing the right side.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: When Arnie is talking to himself as actor Jack Slater, right when he says "You're the best look-alike I've seen" his eyes are looking slightly sideways, away from Jack, and not where they should. Obviously Arnie was talking to an empty place but missed.

Sacha

Visible crew/equipment: At the end when the projector starts by itself and lights are going crazy, in one of the windows of the projection room, a hand holding a light (making it move) can be seen. Look at the farthest left window.

Chosen answer: The kid points them out in the film, in order to convince Arnold's character that he inhabits movieland. Also, after Arnold's character falls into the tar pit he is able to completely wipe himself clean, an obvious intentional continuity error.
