Goofs

When Lisbeth is reliving her nightmare involving Dr. Teleborian, she is on her back. When there is a close-up view of her foot, the position of her foot indicates that she is on her stomach. The view switches back to her face and she is on her back.

When Lisbeth is in the Caribbean early in the movie, she has the tail of the dragon tattoo coming down below her tan line. Later, when she is with Miriam Wu, the tail ends a couple of inches above her tan line.

When Lisbeth goes to Bjurman's house, where she is confronted by two thugs, the surrounding area is lush and green, suggesting late spring/summer. However, when she goes to Zalachenko's farm, supposedly just one or two days later, the foliage is bright yellow and orange, and their breath is visible, suggesting mid-autumn.

The knot on the piano leg changes type and position between shots.

When Salander is putting her Taser gun to the blond giant's crotch, he doesn't flick a muscle. Even though he can't feel pain, his muscles would still react to the electricity and send him into spasms.

At least twice, Lisbeth uses a stun gun on a man while she is touching him. Her body would close the circuit, sending the voltage through her as well, but there is no evidence of it shocking her at all.

When Blumkvist is looking through Lisbeth's mail the P.O. Box address on the form is listed as 24914, but the box he actually opens is 17228.

When the Giant sets fire to the barn, Miriam smells the smoke and wakes up, after a beating, but in fact, when people are asleep even without having been knocked out, the smoke puts them to sleep.

When Lisbeth hacks into Bjurman's computer, she finds an email confirming an appointment to have his stomach tattoo removed on Friday, November 7, 2009. In 2009, November 7 fell on a Saturday.

When Michael is in Lisbeth's apartment and is reading her old file, the text behind Lisbeth's photo is clearly "lorem ipsum", the gibberish filling text often used as a placeholder when designing.

The Mac Book laptops in the movie are clearly not powered as the Apple logo on the reverse side of the screen normally glows brightly when switched on.

When burning Zalachenko falls out of the car during Lisbeth's childhood flashback, he falls next to the spilled "gasoline" that splattered when Salander threw it on him, but it doesn't ignite.

(at around 20 mins) When Lisbeth has been shopping and walks home on "söder", the sun is setting behind her, but the shadow is towards the back left.

Blomkvist is shown driving a Toyota Prius. When he starts the car, there's a standard big-car start-up roar, but a Prius starts silently.

After journalists harass Miriam Wu at her door, she walks back through the apartment and a boom mic is reflected in a mirror on the wall.
