• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Naoko is incorrectly referred to as Naoko Saeki on her phone message. Although she is Kayako's sister, Kayako's married name is Saeki so Naoko's last name should be Kayako's maiden name of Kawamata.
  
  
• Continuity: As Naoko and Lisa are speaking in the park (right after Rose goes off to the swings), Naoko tucks her hair behind her left ear. In the next shot, her hair is back in front of her ear.
  
  
• Continuity: At the climax of the movie, during the ceremony to contain 'The Curse', Rose is asked to drink from a cup. She picks it up from it's place next to the ceremonial candles and does so, when she does, her body convulses and she drops the cup. It rolls across the floor, but moments later she is seen laying on the floor next to the ceremonial candles, with the cup sitting neatly in it's place, upright and next to the candles.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: When Naoko first enters her office building, she is seen coming out of an elevator. But when she enters her office, a car can be seen passing by the window.
  
  
• Plot holes: The grudge curse was created when Takeo murdered both his wife, Kayako, and son, Toshio. Naoko tries to end the curse by getting Rose to drink Kayako's blood during the ceremony she held in the apartment where the curse was reborn. Drinking Kayako's blood would unlikely stop Toshio's ghost, meaning only Kayako would be stopped. This would mean that the curse would not have been ended by Naoko's ceremony.
  
  
• Plot holes: It is unknown how Dr. Sullivan got any information about the Saeki family since Jake, her only source of information about the curse, never knew the ghosts by name. Allison never told Jake the names of the ghosts she brought with her from Tokyo in the events of The Grudge 2, and she was Jake's only source of information about the curse in the second film. This means that Jake could never have told Dr. Sullivan about Kayako by name, meaning Dr. Sullivan could not possibly have known the names of the Saeki family members and get information about them.
