(at around 2h 5 mins) Erin receives a cashier's check from her boss that has no date on it.

Erin's duties that she took upon herself go way beyond the description of a legal clerk and is actually practicing law without a license or having passed the state Bar exam. In other words, although she has good intentions, her work is illegal, especially when it comes to questioning clients and victims of PG & E.

(at around 23 mins) After the kids are playing what appears to be the card game War with George, the children get up, and the son says "Good night, Aaron", when referring to George. Aaron is the actor's name, Aaron Eckhart.

(at around 47 mins) When Ed Masry hands over a stack of paper to his assistant, to be faxed to the PG&E Company, at the bottom of the stack there are pages of a movie script, once when he hands them over and again when the assistant arranges the papers in a neat stack on her desk, preparing them to be faxed.

(at around 17 mins) When Erin confronts George about his loud Harley, the motor clearly sports an oval air cleaner cover identifying it as a Harley Twin Cam which didn't come out until 1999-2000 (depending on the model) - several years after that scene would have taken place.

(at around 1h 7 mins) After Erin comes up from the PG&E well with the water sample, she is chased to her car by two PG&E employees. She gets in and frantically tries to make her getaway.

(at around 24 mins) When Erin and George are sorting out the various decks of playing cards, she asks him how many decks they have. George responds, "We have more than we-nuff", an obvious combination of "more than we need" and "more than enough".
