The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - 60 mistakes
Directed by Jim Sharman, starring Barry Bostwick, Charles Gray, Christopher Biggins, Meat Loaf, Richard O'Brien, Susan Sarandon, Tim Curry
Other: At one point on set, the cast had an off-camera Easter egg hunt. Some were never found, apparently, because you can see at least three of the eggs: one under Frank-N-Furter's throne, one in the main hall in place of the light, and another you can see when they are going up to the lair in the elevator.
Continuity: After Dr. Frank-N-Furter gets out of the pool, and is being threatened by Riff with the anti-matter laser, the tattoo on his upper left torso seems to have mysteriously washed off. It's running and illegible. Also earlier, when he's still in the pool, there's barely a smudge, but when he gets first gets out it's quite clear.
Continuity: As Brad and Janet enter the ballroom at the beginning of "The Time Warp", a red carpet runs from the throne at the opposite end of the room, down the steps, and clear across the floor to the ballroom entrance. After the second verse, as Riff-Raff and Magenta dance across the floor, the carpet stops short at the bottom of the steps. The full-length carpet reappears and disappears several times during this number.
Audio problem: During "I Can Make You A Man," when Frank slides his finger down Rocky's chest while saying "ste-he-he-he-heam," you can hear a solitary beep from out of nowhere, from when the synthesizer was hit accidentally during that part of the song and was never edited out (it is on the CD too).
Plot hole: When the castle is about to blast off, Brad and Janet abandon Dr. Scott's wheelchair at the door of the castle and carry/drag him across the porch and down the steps. After the blast off, Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott are on the grass and have been blown some distance apart from each other (in the UK version, there's another song where Brad and Janet crawl toward Dr. Scott so they are blown farther apart than shown in the US version). It seems extremely unlikely that the remains of Dr. Scott's wheelchair just happened to fly from the doorway to land directly under him during the blast. Brad and Janet can barely crawl so they didn't move him or it. Submitted by Myridon
Continuity: When the color machine has been lowered and Frank has finished opening the spigots, there is a shot which shows his reflection in the monitor on the console where Riff Raff is turning the crank. In the his hands are up in the air, waiting for the color machine to be lowered - which, of course, it already has.
