When Hunt and his girlfriend are driving home from the airport they pass the same parked school bus at least twice without having ever made a turn.

During the softball game, as Buster is running the bases he knocks down Saito. As Saito is helped up and begins walking off the field, he puts his sunglasses on in a crooked fashion (maybe the glasses are broken). In the next cut while still walking off the field, Saito is no longer wearing the sunglasses.
