- Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Fletcher is threatening Alan, as we cut to a wide shot, his mouth stops moving but the audio continues.
- Crew or equipment visible: When the movie dollies back to a wide shot of Alan doing his work with a large number of little screens in the background, one of the scenes on the left shows the supposed subject looking at a urinal. From there, the subject turns around and looks at a mirror, revealing a woman holding a camcorder.
- Miscellaneous: When Bannister takes his daughter into his study, he closes the door. The visual record is shot along the length of his arm, so either his eyes are in the middle of his chest, of the camera was shooting from too low.
- Factual errors: The paper announcing Bannister's death states that he was 54 when he died. But, when Alan loads his implant for the first time, it states that there are 544,628 life hours to review. That number of hours would make him over 62 years of age.

Goofs below here contain information that may give away important plot points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already seen this title.
- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: In the final shot of the movie, Alan (Robin Williams) is seen looking at himself in the mirror. He turns away and exits the frame and the scene ends. If the camera is in his eye, his field of vision would have changed, and even if the camera was just in his body, it would not have remained there as he exited the screen.
