Mistake Continuity: The cars in the parking lot change after Mr. Ullman says, "But I wouldn't want to go in there, unless I had an hour to spare to find my way out."

Mistake Continuity: Dick Halloran's body is in a different position the 2nd time we see it. It's further from the wall, more in the circle beneath him.

Mistake Continuity: As Danny is writing 'redrum' on the bathroom door, the lampshade on the nightstand light is askew. A moment later, when Jack is knocking down the door with the axe, the lampshade has somehow straightened itself out.

Mistake Continuity: During Mr. Ullman's tour they go into the Gold Room and we see all the chairs at the bar in perfect order. In the next shot when Danny walks in the chairs are in disarray and look as if someone has been sitting in them even though no one has moved from their spots.

Mistake Continuity: As she looks for Danny, Wendy runs into an older bloodied gentleman in the back of the lobby who says to her, "Great party isn't it?" We see this same spot after Jack knocks a bunch of pots onto the pantry floor just before The Gold Room party scene, and the three pictures hanging there have now disappeared.

Mistake Factual error: Jack breaks down the front door of the apartment sending splinters and pieces of wood everywhere. In the next shot as he walks through, all the wood is in a nice neat pile to the left of the door.

Mistake Continuity: Danny picks up Wendy's lipstick and writes the word "Redrum" on the bathroom door. We've seen this door several times in the movie and this is a different one. The doorpost on the right is chipped from top to bottom but more importantly we see three distinct cracks between the upper and lower indentations by the door knob and the space in the middle of the door between the right and left indentations (it's also a different color).

Mistake Audio problem: Danny talks to Tony in the bathroom mirror and his mouth doesn't move in sync with what he's saying.

Mistake Continuity: As Wendy and Danny run into the hedge maze the map in front has 6 notices tacked up around it. Before there were only three.

Mistake Continuity: Wendy looks at Dick Hallorann's body lying on the floor and we can make out some of the pictures on the wall behind the entrance to The Gold Room and they're not the same ones that we see there at the end of the movie as the camera zooms in for the final shot. Dick Halloran walks past this spot as he enters the hotel and they're different here also.

Mistake Continuity: Wendy runs into the lobby only to find it covered in cobwebs and filled with skeletons. Before she enters the lobby we see the same hallway that she walked down earlier in the movie as she brought Jack his breakfast and the only thing missing is the large mirror at the end of the hall.

Mistake Continuity: Wendy walks into Mr. Ullman's office to call the forest rangers and the light switch on the right side of his door, that was there in Jack's interview under the two pictures, has been removed.

Mistake Continuity: Wendy walks up to Jack as he works in The Colorado Lounge and the sofa that was facing his desk earlier in the movie as he threw the tennis ball has now disappeared.

Mistake Continuity: Jack sits on the side of the bed as Danny comes into the apartment to get his fire engine and a chair with a blue cushion on it is on the right of the screen in front of the radiator. This chair is in some shots and not in others and when Jack walks into the apartment with the axe there's a different chair in that spot.

Mistake Continuity: Right after the shot of Danny and Wendy out running in the snowstorm we see a wide shot of Jack typing. The camera's prospective is from the left of the steps where Wendy hits him with the baseball bat and we can see behind him as the types. If you look to his left the billiard table, and the carpet it's on, that we saw earlier in the film when Danny took his trike ride is on the opposite side of the room.

Mistake Continuity: After Wendy walks in and finds the lobby covered in cobwebs and filled with skeletons she continues to look for Danny and ends up in front of the two red elevators. In the next shot blood streams out of them and if you look closely the picture on the left wall is higher the second time we see it.

Mistake Continuity: Lloyd asks Jack what he wants from the bar and he replies, "The hair of the dog that bit me" as two women walk by behind him. In the next shot the reflections of these two women do not appear in the mirror, and this isn't because they're ghosts as the reflections of other actors at the party do appear in the mirror as they walk by.

Mistake Continuity: After Jack switches on the outdoor lights and begins to chase Danny we see wide slide marks appearing under bathroom window for the first time.

Mistake Continuity: When he calls his friend Larry at Durkin's garage, Dick Hallorann has his blue scarf draped down in front of his jacket. He doesn't move his left hand from the phone or his right hand from his pocket, but his scarf is tucked under his coat behind his right hand in subsequent shots.

Mistake Deliberate "mistake": Jack looks into the lobby of The Overlook as he hears Dick Halloran yelling, "Hello". It's interesting to see that the overhead chandelier above the miniature hedge maze has been removed in this scene so it wouldn't block the view of the lobby. The chandelier was there earlier in the movie as Jack walked to his interview and as Wendy brought Jack his breakfast. It returns to its place in the next shot.
