Unbreakable Goofs/Mistakes

Movie Goof (continuity error): When David Dunn opens the letter from Limited Edition, a close-up shows the envelope flap closed as he reads the card. From a different angle, the flap is open.
Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): David Dunn and a few other security guards are shown wearing FSU jackets and caps; this refers to the fictional Franklin State University where he works (the name derives from Franklin Field, the actual stadium name).
Movie Goof (factual errors): The "original" comic pages displayed in the gallery "Limited Edition" are too small. Comic book art is done on 14X17 pages, much larger than on display here.
Movie Goof (factual errors): People with Osteogenesis imperfecta generally don't grow to be as tall as Samuel L. Jackson.
Movie Goof (continuity error): When David's son attempts to shoot David to prove David is unbreakable, David grabs the gun from the table using his left hand (with his wedding band on) in the close up shot, but in the master shot, we can see he used his right hand to grab the gun.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The baby in the opening scene is clearly shown pushing hard against his blanket with what seems to be an intact right arm. The doctor then states that the baby's arms and legs are broken.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Two computers under Elijah's desk move three feet to the right.
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In Elijah's office in the final scene, a newspaper headline reads: "Mudslide in Mexico - Kills All Expect Newborn" - "Expect" should be "Except".
Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Mr. Glass incorrectly describes his disorder (Osteogenesis imperfecta). He describes the disorder as having 4 types each increasing in severity. There are 7 types of the disorder and each type has a variety of severities.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): Dunn is the only survivor of a terrible train wreck. The doctor is amazed that he is not even scratched. But his clothes show no sign of damage either.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): At several points they show comic book images which are supposed to be from the "silver age", the 1950s-1960s. However, the art displayed in them is not accurate for the period and is closer to the style predominant in the industry in the 1990s.
Movie Goof (continuity error): Early in the movie David is reading a "Philadelphia Inquirer" newspaper. At the end this becomes a "Philadelphia Telegraph".
Movie Goof (anachronisms): When Mr. Glass gets his first comic book on the playground bench in 1974, the cover of the book depicts as a backdrop the Philadelphia skyline, featuring predominantly Two Liberty Place, which was not built until 1990.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): SPOILER: The burglar which David incapacitated is supposed to be dead according to the newspaper article. But after he was strangled and lying on the floor he was still visibly breathing. So either David killed him later or he died from the chocking later or the article was mistaken. All of these make little sense.
Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: The "Hero rescues two children" headline changes from regular to italic type.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): SPOILER: When David Dunn opens the basement door revealing the dead father, in the second quick jump cut close up you can see the man is breathing.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): SPOILER: During the scene where David strangles the killer, the wall shakes. The repaired hole from a previous take is obvious before the hole is made.
Movie Goof (continuity error): SPOILER: When David shares his identity with his son at the breakfast table, he pushes a newspaper toward him. In the close-up, the newspaper is folded into quarters, but in the wide-angle shot, it is clearly only folded in half.
