Disturbia

Factual errors: The menu on Kale's Xbox is much larger than the normal Xbox menu. (Most likely to make the "Connect to Xbox Live" button easier to see).

  • Revealing mistakes: While seated in the car, Turner's dubbed dialogue and his lip movements don't match.

  • Continuity: There's a scene where Kale is shown putting stickers on his ankle bracelet. In a following scene, you can see the ankle bracelet, but there are no stickers on it.

Continuity: The first time that Ashley goes into Kale's room when Kale and Ronald are trying to clean it up, Kale puts a shirt on top of the tower of Twinkie, but in the next two scenes the Twinkie tower is uncovered then covered again.
  • Continuity: When Kale breaks into Mr. Turner's house with the garden shears, he cleanly knocks out the full pane of glass. But, when Officer Gutierrez responds to the call, he sees large shards of glass still in the window pane of Mr. Turner's house

  • Factual errors: When Ronnie pops the lock on the suspicious neighbor's car, it does not re-lock. All late model Lexus vehicles automatically and instantly re-lock upon popping the lock. Further, the alarm would go off.

  • Revealing mistakes: When Kale's Xbox Live account gets closed, he tries to log back in and gets a "ACCESS DENIED" message. But if his account was closed, he should've gotten a log in error message, saying that his username or password was incorrect.

  • Continuity: When the police arrive while Kale is trying to rescue Ronnie from Turner, the officer calls Turner by name even though he never said what his name was.

  • Factual errors: When Kale replaces the jack on his iPod when Ashley unplugged it, the iPod continued playing. iPods have a feature that when a headphone jack is unplugged, it automatically pauses the track. If the headphone is replaced, the play button should be pressed to continue.

  • Factual errors: When Robert got into Ashley's car and locked the doors via the key less transmitter so that she couldn't get out, after talking to her, he exited the vehicle without unlocking the door. The alarm wouldn't have sounded because he had started the car but he still should have had to unlock it before getting out first.

  • Factual errors: Kale sees Mr. Turner's reflection on the Apple Cinema display in his room. Apple LCD displays have a non-glare finish so a reflection would not have appeared. The display didn't appear to have a reflective surface in earlier shots.

  • Factual errors: When Kale gets the text message from Ronnie to "look at his TV", the phone icon on his phone is on vibrate mode, so he shouldn't have heard the "Me So Horny" ring-tone.
