  • Movie Goof (errors in geography): The clerk in the Hall of Records says some of the plot maps for the northwest San Fernando Valley are in Ventura county. The county line is well to the west in the surrounding hills.
  • Movie Goof (continuity error): When Gittes get drenched by the water, he's completely immersed in it. Then moments later his suit is fairly dry looking as though he had only been splashed.
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Jake arrives at Ida Sessions's apartment at 848-1/2 E. Kensington in Echo Park, the trees in front of the building shift back and forth while the building does not, indicating a poorly executed overlay.
  • Movie Goof (anachronisms): When Mrs. Mulwray drives away from the Coroner's office you can hear a siren in the background. The siren is a modern electronic one. In the 1930's, they only had mechanical sirens which have a different sound.
