Mistake Continuity: Moving out to Sera, Ben is packing his things in a motel. You can see a half full glass standing on a bed table on his left. In the next shot Ben is pouring alcohol to an EMPTY glass filling it in 1/3 approx. In the next scene glass is half full again and in the next one - FULL. Eventually he is drinking from a glass full of alcohol.

Mistake Continuity: When Nicholas Cage is in the pool and in a couple of other scenes where he is wearing a shirt you can clearly see a tattoo on his back, but when filmed without a shirt the tattoo is gone.

Mistake Continuity: Nick Cage is playing blackjack at a caribbean stud table.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene directly following Sera's asking Ben to move in with her, while he is packing his bottles and clothes into the too-small suitcase, he empties his tequila (I think) bottle into his glass (the one on the book) filling the glass, at most, half-way, however, after he says "I'm nuts about you," and picks up the glass, it is completely full.

Mistake Continuity: When Ben first meets Sera and takes her back to his motel room, they get drunk and pass out on the bed. When Sera wakes up next to Ben several hours later and realizes it's morning, she's wearing strappy sandals with a very high heel. In the following scene when the cab driver drops her off at her apartment, she's wearing flatter sandals with a much lower heel.

Mistake Other: When Ben and Sera are in the casino playing blackjack, and Ben gets angry and loses control, he supposedly knocks the waitress to the ground. It's a terribly fake looking stunt because Nicholas Cage never even comes close to making contact with the girl playing the waitress. She just falls backward and throws her tray to the ground.

Mistake Continuity: Nicholas Cage hires a hooker while drunk. She steals his wedding band. A few scenes after, he's at his office, gets fired, etc., and has the wedding band on his hand. Then it's gone again. [These scenes are flashbacks, explaining the apparently changing continuity]

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when we first see Sera in the elevator, her hair is wavy and parted to the right, but when she goes into the hotel room, her hair is more curly and parted to the left.
