When Poe gets permission to leave the bridge and runs towards the X-Wing bay, several pilots on the bridge follow him, including the alien C'ai Threnalli. However, immediately after C'ai runs out of frame, there is a reaction shot of Finn with C'ai still standing at a console in the background.
When Finn is trying to board the escape pod, he places his bag outside of the pod. When Rose stuns him into the pod, his bag is inside.
Just before a Praetorian Guard puts Rey into a headlock, the guard is holding a vibro-arbir blade in each hand. In the same shot, only a few seconds later, the blade in the guard's left hand has vanished behind Rey's back, and is never seen again.
In the first scene with Rey and Luke on the island, it is sunny. This scene is a direct continuation of the last scene of the previous movie, Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015); in that scene, it is cloudy and rainy.
Close-ups of Leia's hands show longer, manicured nails, immediately followed by unmanicured, ragged, much shorter nails. (When Poe reaches out to her, and when Luke gives her the dice, among other instances.)
As a yacht goes over a waterfall but then continues to fly horizontally, its large keel emerges from the water - even though a river is shallow near to a fall.
For some reason, the 'blow smoke from the tip of a gun's barrel' western cliché move exists in the Star Wars universe. Even though the smoke from the barrel of blasters to blow does not (as gunpowder is unknown in this galaxy, so no gun provides any smoke).
Poe introduces himself to Rey when they meet for the first time, except there are two scenes in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) where they are together. In the first, Poe is carried an injured Finn from the Millennium Falcon with Rey immediately behind him. A few scenes later, when the map is being completed, the two are about four feet from each other.
However that doesn't mean that they were introduced or even spoke to each other at those times. At no point in The Force Awakens were they seen talking to each other.

At the end of the opening battle, Leia looks at a display showing the status of the Resistance fighters and bombers. In the closeup of the display, the Arabic numerals "0", "25", and "26" are clearly visible. All previous movies set in the Star Wars universe (except for a scene in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), edited out in recent editions) depict text and numerals in fictitious languages. This is true for LETTERS, not NUMBERS. In revised editions of A New Hope and some brief scenes in the other movies, Arabic-style numbers are still visible, for example in Luke's viewer scope tool in the original film.
Paige is seen inside her ship with the doors open to allow the bombs to be dropped out of the ship. She does not have any kind of oxygen mask or supply, despite this sequence being set in space. However, all through the Star Wars films, there are openings into space that do not affect a ship's atmosphere. This can be seen in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) in the Death Star hangar bays and in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) when Poe and Finn steal the TIE Fighter. A thin magnetic shield is used to allow solid matter, but not gasses, to pass through it.
In Star Wars, droids like R2-D2 and BB-8 can hack through security systems. Finn and Rose take BB-8 with them to their side quest, but they don't need a code breaker. Even configuring BB-8 for the task would be much faster than the detour to the casino.
However, as Maz told the Rebels, this was "rarified cracking" and obviously far beyond the relatively simple tasks that the droids do (e.g., opening doors, turning off the trash compactor).

The First Order flagship was firing at the Raddus. The rounds that were fired were traveling in a curved line towards the Raddus, and while energy bolts being fired in space and outside of a gravity field would only travel in a straight line, missiles can be target-programmed to adjust their trajectory.
When Vice Admiral Holdo (Laura Dern) accelerates the Rebel ship at warp speed, the stars are seen accelerating in streaks of light outside the view windows. However, she went only a very short distance toward the First Order starship, so the stars would not have transited relative to her position.
When Finn and Rose are caught and standing in the hangar, a bunch of storm troopers are marching. The marching sound does not match the footsteps.
The First Order armada chasing the Resistance has tens of thousands of TIE fighters in their hangars. Regardless if the Resistance had any remaining fighters or not, there is no reason the First Order would not launch waves of fighters and bombers to swarm and destroy the few fleeing capital ships.
Rey is able to understand Chewbacca. Supplementary material tries to explain this by claiming she found language courses in the computers of abandoned rebel ships she scavenged on Jakku. However, the fact that she would choose to learn such a highly specific and uncommon language like Shyriiwook (the Wookie idiom, only used by Wookies themselves and mother tongue only on Kashyyyk, their home world) really beggars belief. It's the equivalent of a poor orphan barely surviving in the Sahara desert choosing to study a remote Quechuan dialect. However Rey could understand Chewbacca since Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015), so is still a plot-hole, but not the fault of the writers of this film. J.J. Abrams is well known for setting up mysteries and later failing to provide proper answers for them.
The First Order can fire at the fleeing transports because DJ spoke about them. However, the only people DJ met were Rose and Finn, who went on their side quest before Holdo spoke about the transport plan. Therefore, DJ shouldn't know about it.
