Reservoir Dogs (1992) - 31 mistakes

Continuity: In the torture scene, Mr Blonde turns the radio on and listens to "Stuck in the Middle with You" as he proceeds to torture the cop. Mr Orange shoots him before Mr Blonde turns the radio off, but somehow the radio is never heard again in the film.

Continuity: When Mr Blonde cuts the ear off the cop, we cut to a shot of him holding the ear, it is covered in blood. However, when we cut to a shot of Mr Blonde talking into the ear, there is no blood on the ear.

Continuity: In the scene where Mr. Blonde is pouring gasoline over the cop, the cop's legs are flying around trying to kick him. Later, we see that the cop's legs are still taped to the chair.

Visible crew/equipment: The camera crew can be seen reflected in the store windows as Mr. Pink is running from the cops.

Continuity: There is a scene where the cops are chasing Mr. Pink. Keep an eye on the hardware store which is followed by a grey building with a sign each side of a door - Mr. Pink runs past it, then the cops run past it, then Mr. Pink runs past it again.

Continuity: During the torture scene, Mr. Blonde gets his sleeves bloody, but when he is holding the ear, the blood disappears.  A few seconds later, the sleeves are bloody again.

Continuity: When they bring Marvin Nash to be tortured, his hands are cuffed behind his back. They start kicking him and his hands are then seen cuffed in front. Then, they switch back just a few moments later and his hands are back behind his back again.

Continuity: During the chase, we see that there are only three cops (we see a head-on shot of the three cops with an empty sidewalk behind them), but when Mr. Pink opens the car door and starts firing in the direction of the cops, the first three cops (the thin ones) scramble back around the corner. Just then, a fourth cop (the fat one) pops around the corner from nowhere and gets shot.

Visible crew/equipment: When Mr White gets out of his car after it crashes to shoot the cops coming in their patrol car, keep an eye on the rear passenger window of his car where a boom mike can be seen.

Continuity: When Mr. Blonde is in the warehouse with the cop, it shows close-up of the cop, and he has blood on his forehead on the left side. After Mr Blonde slaps him in the face, the blood has disappeared. It reappears later.

Continuity: Just after Mr. Pink stops Mr. White and Mr. Blonde from fighting, watch Mr. Blonde's tie. It's secured with a tie pin - initially rumpled so the top bit "bumps", then smooth for a couple of shots, then back to having a bump.

Revealing: In several driving scenes, the cars are visibly higher than the rest of traffic. Obviously a flatbed truck was used instead of a trailer for the filming of the interior shots.

Continuity: After the climactic shootout near the end of the movie, Mr. White falls on his elbows, facing Eddie's body. In the next shot, Mr. Pink leaves. When he is leaving, Mr. White is facing the back of the warehouse, where Mr. Pink hid. That is a near 45 degree turn when Mr. White was in both shots.

Continuity: In a flash back scene, Mr Blonde and Nice Guy Eddie are about to play fight. However, when they hit the floor, they have both changed sides, even though the way they were going for each other showed they would not fall opposite sides.

Visible crew/equipment: The boom mike's shadow is visible when Joe gives out names. It is easily seen moved to the left when he says "let's go to work!"

Continuity: During Mr. Pink's flashback, as he's being chased by the three cops, he pushes a man with a grey jacket aside as he comes between him and another man; in one shot, the man with the grey jacket falls onto the ground, but in the next angle, he just moves to the side.

Continuity: During Mr. Pink's flashback, he's chased by three cops across the sidewalk of a long, straight avenue - apparently, they all pass the same exact spot numerous times. Notice the white van parking next to the sidewalk as the policemen run next to it - it is followed by a yellow truck. Look closely beneath it, and you'll spot a place where the sidewalk mixes with the road. Later on, in the wide shot of Mr. Pink running, he passes next to the same exact white van, and the same spot where the road mixes with the sidewalk is visible just next to it, right as he picks up the briefcase behind it, yet the yellow truck is gone. Since the cops are behind him, that place should be far away, as he's been running along a long avenue. [To make the street look longer, the filmmakers shot the chase a few more time on the same short street to make it look like a long avenue. Yet the white van marks the same spot, and thus it is a mistake.].

Continuity: During Mr. Pink's flashback, He shoots the four cops hiding behind the corner while jacking the car. When looking from Mr. Pink's point of view, you can see that the fat cop gets shot and leans on the ground, yet when we see this from the policemen's point of view, the fat cop isn't injured and fires without a problem, when suddenly he gets shot.

Continuity: In the scene when Mr Blonde comes to the warehouse and asks Mr White if he's going to bark all day, Mr Pink rushes in to break them up and right after he says 'calm the f**k down', he says 'hey come on' but his mouth doesn't move.

Continuity: When Mr. White and Mr. Pink go into the back room at the warehouse, Mr. Pink is about to sit on a chair, and has his cigarette is in his hand. But when the camera angle changes (when he is sitting down) the cigarette is in his mouth.
