Lucky Number Slevin (2006) More at IMDbPro »

• Continuity: When Slevin is eating the first sandwich he eats in the movie, it changes from being half eaten to having only one bite taken out of it.
  
  
• Anachronisms: Towards the beginning of the film at the horse track they show a horse fall during a race. In one of the scenes you can see a new John Deere tractor in the upper left hand corner of the screen. The scene was supposed to be set in 1979.
  
  
• Continuity: In the beginning of the movie, after Slevin has finished shaving in the bathroom, he uses a towel to wipe off the excess shaving cream. He still has some shaving cream on his neck when someone suddenly knocks on the door. We immediately cut to a side shot and Slevin turns his head toward the knock. He no longer has any shaving cream anywhere on his neck.
  
  

• Continuity: When Slevin walks through a hallway to The Fairy's room, there is a part of his hair on top of his head that changes from being flat on his head to standing up various times.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: During the opening credits when Nick is walking towards the camera to sit down, you can see the reflection of the camera man moving around in the back of the front left blue chair.
  
  
• Continuity: when Slevin and Lindsay are walking back from their date and talking about picking up a pigtail; there is an extra behind them that disappears and reappears several times.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: When Max and his son are sitting in the car at the racetrack, the vehicles are parked too close together. There is only about eight or ten feet between rows of cars. There is no way a driver would be able to maneuver a car out of a parking spot.
  
  
• Miscellaneous: When Willis is shooting two silenced pistols at the men coming through the wall, the pistol in his left hand has a bent silencer. It is obviously bent down at about 15 degrees and would be dangerous to the shooter if shooting anything but blanks.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Max and his son are in the car discussing their cover story, they mention that Tony Taylor was the second baseman for the Phillies. In 1979, Taylor did not play for the Phillies any longer. Manny Trillo was the everyday second baseman.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Slevin explains to Lindsay why he isn't acting like he's worried about his troubling situation, the English captions read, "I have anorexia" (the eating disorder) rather than "I have ataraxia" (the Epicurean philosophy of freedom from preoccupation).
  
  
• Continuity: When Lindsay leaves Slevin (after their initial meeting) carrying a glass cup containing sugar, the cup is only 1/4 filled. When she (immediately) returns, to see if he has, again, removed his towel, the cup is about 2/3 filled.
  
  
• Continuity: When Goodkat and The Boss are playing chess, Goodkat moves a piece with his right hand. But in the next shot you can clearly see him pulling back his left hand, making it seem like he moved the piece with his left hand.
  
  
• Continuity: When Slevin is first taken to see "The Boss", as he is exiting the building, someone is taking a picture of him. You see his reflection in the lens of the camera. The reflection should have been reversed, but it was not.
  
  
• Continuity: Lindsey's socks when she leaves the room after getting the sugar are white. When she comes back to the room her socks change from white to red.
  
  
• Continuity: After the the Rabbi's son is shot he first has a gun next to his hand, covered in blood, then it is missing.
  
  
• Continuity: When Elvis pulls up in front of The Boss' building the first time, the car in front changes between the shot of them pulling up and Elvis getting out.
  
  
• Continuity: Also with the sandwich, the eaten bites rotate from being the bottom corner to the top corner on multiple occasions.
  
  
• Factual errors: During the scene when Lindsey tells Slevin she is a coroner. Slevin calls Lindsey a "weirdo", but the English subtitles have the spelling incorrectly showing as "wierdo".
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: At the beginning of the movie, when Slim Hopkins gets shot in front of the door of his car, the window's glass is already broken before the bullet goes through him into it.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Slevin shoots the man in the car in scene near the end the shot of the gun is too loud, because he has a muffler on his gun.
  
  
• Continuity: Elvis and Slo pick up Slevin at Lindsey's apartment right after the cops throw him out of the surveillance van. They shouldn't know that Slevin is in Lindsey's apartment.
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: When the Fairy is killed, his necklace with the panic button is sitting on his chest. After GoodKat walks in, the necklace is hanging down near the floor.
