Romeo + Juliet
Romeo + Juliet mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Romeo and Juliet are looking at each other through the fishtank, in one shot Romeo's hair is smoothed back and in another it is more in his face.

Continuity mistake: When Tybalt and Romeo fight (just after Mercutio's death) watch Romeo's shirt closely. It is at first dirty and covered in blood then when Romeo is looking up to the sky after shooting Tybalt the shirt looks cleaner with only a few blood stains on it. Also watch the wounds on Romeo's face, the amount of blood on them changes too.

Continuity mistake: When Romeo is writing in his trailer, his necklace chain has both a cross and his wedding ring on it. When he's about to kill himself, he rips off the chain and puts the ring on Juliet's finger. However, the cross is gone.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning gas station scene, Abra, a Capulet, plainly has his sunglasses on before he reveals his SIN grill, and the glasses have been removed a second later as he shouts "BOO" to the Montague Boys.

Continuity mistake: When Romeo and Juliet are in the pool, they near a pool ladder on one side of the pool. When it first shows the ladder, they are about two feet away from it. In the next shot, they are visibly much further.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film Juliet/Claire Danes lifts the revolver to her left temple, in her left hand. After firing the shot and landing, her arm has already fallen before she has.....she lands in an odd position assuming the angle the gun was pointed at, and the original position of her arm.

Visible crew/equipment: On the DVD, when the Capulets are jumping back into their blue car at the end of the gas station scene, look at the rear passenger window. A microphone boom is plainly visible in the shot. (00:07:21)

More quotes from Romeo + Juliet

Trivia: In the fight at the petrol station they are using guns instead of swords (which were used in Shakespearian times), however, when it's said "draw your swords", the dialogue didn't have to be changed for this part, because the film directors made it so that the make of the gun was "sword". Also, when Capulet says "Hand me my Longsword", he reaches for a rifle, most likely from the same factory that made the Sword pistols.
