The position of the boys' jump-ball changes as Damiel passes by.

When Cassiel (Otto Sander) is crossing the street, a bus slows down to allow him to cross the road, then accelerates once he's clear. As Cassiel is an invisible angel, the bus driver shouldn't have been able to see him.

In one of the opening shots where the camera circles a tower, more like a radio transmitting one, the spinning helicopter blades can be seen at the top of the frame

During a montage sequence involving fast-forward and blurry movements, one shot shows a man passed out by the phone booth. The camera's shadow becomes visible on the left side of the booth.
