Selena (1997) - 14 mistakes

Audio problem: When Chris drives up in the truck while Selena is mowing the lawn, Selena asks what he got. While you hear "junk food" his mouth says something else.

Continuity: When Selena is singing "Como La Flor" in Mexico after the crowd was pushing into the stage, her mouth doesn't match the words to the song. Her mouth is a few words ahead of the song.

Continuity: When Selena is in Mexico and is singing, she puts her microphone out into the crowd but somehow her voice didn't get any softer, so you automatically know she is lip syncing.

Audio problem: In the scene where Selena opens her boutique, she introduces Yolanda Saldivar. The camera zooms in on Yolanda, but you can still see that Selena's mouth doesn't move when she says, "She's my fan club president."

Factual error: When they are being kicked out of a Corpus Christi dance club in 1961 for singing do-wop, someone screams "We want to hear Tejano.". Tejano music was born in 1972 in Alice, Texas. In 1961, the correct term was "Tex-Mex" which later became "Chicano" which is now known today as "Tejano". The word "Tejano" was not known in 1961.

Continuity: When the two Mexican guys are driving down the road to Selena, in the first shot where you can see their faces, the guy who has his hair combed back is on the passenger's side. Yet, when they stop for Selena, the guy with his hair combed is the one driving.

Continuity: When Selena, her brother and father are in the van discussing touring in Mexico, in one shot Abie has his seat belt on, in the next shot it is off, the next is on, etc.

Continuity: When Selena is lying on the bed and talking to her mom about how cute Chris is, the amount of her hair hanging off the bed changes between shots.

Continuity: In the scene where Selena and Chris are eating french fries in Chris's car, Selena's hair slips on and off her shoulder between shots.

Visible crew/equipment: When Abraham is introducing the roles of what the children are going to play, he demonstrates what Suzette is going to do on the drums and falls back. If you see under him, you see a kind of pillow to break his fall. When the shot changes you see that it's not there.

Audio problem: When young Selena is given the microphone by her dad, we hear her singing, but her mouth isn't moving.

Continuity: After Selena draws the cowhide trouser outfit the scene is where they're preforming in them. In one shot her belt is secured to her waist and in others it is hanging.

Continuity: While Selena is recording "I Could Fall In Love," her hands repeatedly switch from being on her headphones and off her headphones between shots.

Continuity: When Selena's father and mother are arguing over the kid's first performance, Selena's mom's hair first is in front of her shoulders, than behind, and it continues like that for the duration of that scene.
