• Continuity: When Jillian goes to Washington Square Park by subway, it's clearly night and dark. When she emerges from the subway, it is daylight.
  
  
• Factual errors: All NASA shuttle astronauts live and work in the vicinity of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, many of them in Clear Lake, a Houston suburb. Yet in the film, Jillian teaches school in Florida, where she and Armacost clearly live. Astronauts only go to Florida for launches.
  
  
• Factual errors: When the pregnant wife is being examined, she is told she is nine weeks pregnant. However, the baby shown on the ultrasound scan screen is clearly much more than nine weeks old. Further more the movements of the ultrasound probe do not correspond to the movements on the screen. And when the doctors says she will make measurements she never does. Instead she just waits a few seconds before announcing the age of the fetus.
  
  

• Crew or equipment visible: When Jillian has just watched the Sherman Reese videotape, and Spencer comes in and scares her, Spencer says they should watch a video and goes to put it in. After all of the fuss with what the tape is, Spencer gets up to sit on the couch and as he does, you can see four shadows on the wooden wall behind him.
  
  
• Continuity: When Spencer and Jillian are at the cocktail reception in New York, Jillian is speaking with the rude woman who criticizes her clothes. As they are walking, they walk past a woman with a large pearl necklace who then kisses the gentleman she is with. Moments later, Jillian who then walks past the same woman again.
  
  
• Continuity: When Spencer scares Jillian in the bathroom, she drops the abortion pills she was holding and they fall far away from each other. After Spencer slaps her, the pills are closer together.
  
  
• Continuity: When Jillian is dancing to the radio, she opens the refrigerator door and we clearly see a can of whipped cream. Jillian then takes a can of whipped cream from the bottom of the refrigerator and puts it in the same spot the other one was in. The first can just disappeared.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Spenser Checks Jill's pulse at the party' he does it in the wrong place. Pulse is checked bellow the thumb, while he checks it under Jill's little finger.
  
  

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: At the end of the movie, when Jill is talking to her new husband, he calls her Susan. This is due to the fact that she probably changed her name after Spencer's death (she also seems to have changed her appearance).
