Mistake Revealing: SPOILER: In the film's final scene, Thomas has made it to the mountaintop, and although it's supposed to be extremely cold, and even though he's bundled up to the hilt, there's not the slightest hint of steam emanating from his mouth or nose when he breathes.

Mistake Audio problem: When Edward and Carter are arguing at the fdaughter's house, Edwards says, "Presidents have asked my advice." Although the camera is on Carter, Edward's mouth movements don't appear to match what he said.

Mistake Continuity: When Morgan Freeman is in the tub, the patch on his chest is alternately visible and then covered by bubbles throughout the scene.

Mistake Continuity: When Nicholson and Freeman's characters are arguing in front of the daughter's house, you can notice that Nicholson's shirt collar flips back and forth from inside his jacket to outside as the camera angles change.

Mistake Continuity: As Ed and Carter are enjoying dinner in the elegant restaurant in France, note the plate of cookies to the left of the screen when the camera is on Carter. As the camera cuts back and forth from Carter to Ed as they chat, the cookies seem to come and go. The plate first has three cookies, then there are a lot of cookies when the camera cuts back to Carter again, then next there are four cookies on the plate in the next scene, etc.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: Edward arrives at this daughter's house and two big white lighting screens get reflected on the car's door.
