Goofs:

Character Error
Plutarch tells Effie she isn't a prisoner, and is free to join District 13. How has Effie been eating if she has stayed in her cubicle the whole time? You can only eat in 13 in the common dining halls.

Character Error
Gale claimed that District 12 was completely destroyed and no longer exists. Yet the "Victor's Village" houses (including where Katniss and her family moved to following her victory in the Hunger Games) are more or less unscathed and untouched.

Continuity
After Katniss takes down the bomber with an incendiary arrow, in the next shot she still has the full complement of arrows in her quiver.

Continuity
When Plutarch Heavensbee is first introduced he is sitting down, but in the next shot he is standing again ready to greet Katniss.

Continuity
When she is shooting her first propo, Katniss already had her new bow. But in the next scene, Beetee is just giving it to her and she clearly has not seen it before.

Miscellaneous
As they walk among the rubble of Katniss' district, you can see the fake concrete pieces move around like the Styrofoam they are made up.

Revealing Mistakes
On being dropped off to visit the hospital, the away team duck and cover from the downdraft of the departing aircraft which, being CGI, barely disturbs their hair.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Plutarch Heavensbee, tragically died with one week of filming left.
