• Crew or equipment visible: Pushing the raccoon out of the dumbwaiter.
  
  
• Continuity: There is ceiling plaster visible in Anna's hair before the plaster is shown to fall on her head.
  
  
• Continuity: When Walter is watching the fire go through the electrical system in the walls of the kitchen, the chunky liquid in the blender vanishes.
  
  

• Continuity: Initially, the front door swings into the house and the door knob is inside and the handle is outside. They are on the left (as viewed from outside the house). After the door and frame fall off the house it is propped up in the doorway, but the door now swings outward. The door could only do that if it were propped up backward, which it is not: the door handle is still outside and the knob is inside, and they are still on the left (when facing the house from outside).
  
  
• Continuity: When the bathtub makes its spectacular plunge through the floor after the last two buckets of water are dumped into it, there is no water in it as it explodes on impact with the lower floor.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the bathtub hits the floor if you look closely you can see that water was actually in the bathtub. You can see it spread on the floor. The amount of water doesn't appear to be very much, but it is visible.
  
  
• Continuity: When the work crew arrives at the house, various numbers of ladders are leaning against the house in various shots.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the lead Cheap Girl tells Walter they want to change their name, you hear "Meryl Streep" but his lips say something else. The same thing for Walter when he tells him he's not changing their name. Perhaps another name was originally used and the producers didn't get the permission to use it.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where the "Cheap Girls" talk with Walter on wanting to change their name to "Meryl Streep", it looks like he says "bulls**t" instead of "Meryl Streep".
  
  
• Continuity: When Walter is filling up the bathtub with water, he and Anna put the pots beside the bathtub. When Walter then leaves the scene to go get more water, he leaves them behind.
  
  
• Continuity: When the kitchen's electricity starts going haywire, the stove doors opens twice. Once when it is first stuck, and once again when the meal explodes out.
