• Continuity: Milo Perrier tells Sam Diamond "I'm not a Frenchy... I'm a Belgie" referring to the fact he is from Belgium and not France. However, in discussing Twain's annual poodle hunt in France, he implies that's his home country, and he says, referring to himself, that you should "never underestimate a Frenchman's nostrils."
  
  
• Continuity: Sam Diamond extends his arm and points at Jessica Marbles at the dinner table when she deduces there are "two dining rooms". In the next shot, he is pointing with his opposite hand.

• Audio/visual unsynchronized: The maniacal laughter just before the credit rolls does not match the mouth of the laugher.
  
  
• Continuity: When Perrier sees his driver in the bed, he tells him to go and sleep in the car, seemingly forgetting that the house is locked down and no one can get out until morning.
