In Bruges (2008) More at IMDb Pro »

• Continuity: In the scene where the barman states that Ken is after drinking four pints in 20 minutes, the barman pulls a fresh pint. When the pint is placed on the bar, the glass is not entirely full. The camera changes angle and the glass is now full.
  
  
• Factual errors: The stationary of the hotel where Ken and Ray are staying has the hotel name as "De Rozenkransje - Brugge". Brugge being the Flemish name for the town of Bruges. Even a fictitious Belgian hotel would never be named like that, because the article is incorrect. 'Rozenkrans', meaning Rosary, would indeed have the article 'de'. However, 'Rozenkransje' is the diminutive and as such would always have 'Het' as the article. Even for proficient but non-native Flemish/Dutch speakers, this is a commonly made mistake.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Ray tells Ken that they are in the Basilica of the Holy Blood, named after a phial of Christ's blood brought back from the Crusades, they are not. They are in the Jeruzalemkerk, a private church built in the 15th century as a mausoleum for a wealthy merchant's family. The Basilica is the most visited church in Bruges.
  
  

• Continuity: The length of the Chloe's cigarette when she and Ray are at dinner changes between cuts.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Harry Waters is looking at the guns on the table, he refers to one submachine gun as an Uzi, but it is in-fact a Steyr TMP. Ironically, an Uzi is right below it.
  
  
• Continuity: The night before Ken is to meet Yuri, beer bottles are clearly visible on the nightstand between Ray and Ken's beds as they sleep. In the morning when Ken slips out while Ray appears to still be sleeping, the nightstand is vacant.
  
  
• Continuity: In the scene where the barman states that Ken is drunk after drinking four pints in 20 minutes, the little guy arrives with a prostitute. They ask for a beer and a glass of whine - the bartender serves two beers. Next scene the two beers 'converts' into one beer and one wine.
  
  

• Factual errors: SPOILER: Ken warns Ray by jumping off the Belfry. However, the Belfry's windows have fencing in front of them to prevent people from doing that.
  
  
• Factual errors: SPOILER: When Harry shoots Ray, his gun is loaded with the "dum-dum" bullets given to him by Yuri. These are special hollow-point bullets that are specifically designed not to over-penetrate human targets. It is highly unlikely that they would have gone through Ray and hit Jimmy.
