Yes, I missed them too and so did a lot of other people presumably. I still like the film, though. The mistakes shown are often unavoidable in crowd shots that can’t be retaken again and again.

A movie made so long ago (2000) that there is a non-appearance from a mobile phone which, in 2023, has surely been remedied in at least one movie. Meanwhile the face has arrived:

Burning food in an oven, but the oven is never switched off. Similarly an actor walking away from a plugged in iron.

Cops at a crime scene picking things up whilst holding a rubber glove instead of wearing it.
A silencer on a revolver. They don’t work because there is a gap between the cylinder and the barrel.
Pilots with their masks a dangling instead of being worn.

Hi
Fights, especially the ones with a professional involved.
You cannot be hit that hard and get up again.

it annoys me when a women wakes up after sleeping with perfect hair and makeup, Not a smudge not a hair out of place looking like she’s had a spa facial and shampoo and blow dry.

Guns which have seemingly endless rounds, more than what is possible for the gun can hold in a chamber/magazine.
Someone being shot by a pistol which lifts them off their feet and throws them against a wall ten feet away - sometimes smashing plaster/woodwork - and all without a drop of blood in sight.

Hi
There are some new hand guns which have a huge capacity, as many as 19 or 21 rounds.
They are on open sale in the USA and some other countries.
There have also been changes in ammunition technology, making some bullets much more dangerous.
We have also had developments in military grade shotguns and cartridges.
One of these will smash a diesel engine in a truck.
If you are so inclined you can quite legally go to France and go on a training course in how to use the pistols.
If you go on holiday to SE Asia, there are countries where as a Tourist you can pay per round to fire anything from a handgun to an RPG.

But none of these are what is depicted in films. How many westerns have you seen when a guy gets shot and is lifted off the floor and thrown against a back wall?
A high velocity round can knock someone down and backwards but would ultimately pass through a body, having insufficient mass to lift a person up. A .22 revolver such as a Colt has six rounds, not nine or ten because of sloppy film continuity.

Hi
Revolvers have also advanced, no longer six shot, there are 8 shot snub nose, only 2 inch barrel ,357 magnum concealed carry guns.
Only close range, but you do not want to get hit by one of these with the correct ammo.

This usually occurs in horror films when someone has hanged themself, after the event there’s still plenty of noisy, woody creaking to be heard.
It’s not a complaint on my part, it’s all make believe of course 
It just sounds like a scene from Mutiny on the Bounty.

It doesn’t drive me insane but I think it’s quite unrealistic and a bad message to younger folks and drivers of all ages if two people are having a conversation while driving with the driver looking the co-driver in the eyes way too long instead of keeping the eyes on the road just because the dramaturgy forces them to finish a point they are making.
