• Continuity: When Johnny and Brad are playing their final game, there is a wide shot that shows Uncle Mike in the background, before he shows up.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Nick is talking to Johnny after Tara kicks Johnny out of the apartment, one shot of Nick is flipped. This is obvious by the New York Yankees symbol on his hat and his jacket.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Danny is performing on stage he stops singing at the end of the song, but his voice continues.

• Continuity: Immediately after John and Mike walk into the two on two game at the party, Phil shoots the 8 ball into the far corner pocket. Right before saying 'that's how we do it!', the 8 ball's shown rolling slowly from Phil's original position.
  
  
• Continuity: When Brad and Johnny are arguing about the "impossible" shot at the end, the position of the chalk on the table changes between shots.
  
  
• Continuity: After the big game at the end of the film we see Brad and Johnny walking towards the exit of the pool hall. Johnny is carrying his jacket filled with money in one hand and a pool cue in the other. When we see Johnny exit the pool hall from outside he is now wearing his jacket, doesn't have the money, and now has his pool cue in a carrying case which he didn't have before.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Danny is playing a right handed guitar left handed. The guitar is upside down.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: The aforementioned upside down guitar is also seen with a plastic film over the pick-guard. This plastic film is found on new guitars and usually removed before its first played.
  
  
• Continuity: When Brad attempts the jump/bank shot on the 8-ball at the end of the movie, the cue ball can easily be seen clearing the 9-ball when it draws back, yet it still manages to knock the 9-ball into the "frozen against the rail" position for the last shot.
  
  
• Continuity: On the last couple of plays at the end of the movie, two different 9-balls are seen between shots. There is one with a black ring around the 9 and one with no ring at all.
  
  
• Continuity: After Johnny excuses himself from Beth's posse at the party, he asks the waiter if they "have anything in this joint besides champagne." The waiter shakes his head no, and Johnny says "Thought so." However in the prior shot, when Johnny is explaining how he makes money, Larry can be seen holding a rocks glass containing an amber colored liquor, presumably Scotch.
