Continuity: Wendy tries to use the phone to call the forest rangers and it doesn't work, so she walks to Mr. Ullman's office to use the radio. As she walks past the table that the hedge maze is on, it has been moved in relation to the designs on the floor underneath it from when Jack walked over to that spot a few shots ago.
The Shining (1980) - 299 mistakes
Directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Barry Nelson, Danny Lloyd, Jack Nicholson, Scatman Crothers, Shelley Duvall (add more)
Deliberate "mistake": The map in front of the actual hedge maze, that we see when Danny and Wendy run into it, and the miniature hedge maze that Jack looks at on the table are almost exact. Everything except the center of the map, which is not even remotely close to the miniature hedge maze or the subsequent shot of them walking in it. This is a common mistake as props can be made by the art department long before the actual shooting begins.
Continuity: As Dick Hallorannn discusses "Shining" with Danny over ice cream, there are several stacks of plates on the cart behind them near his office, and they are all stacked evenly with each other. No one else is working in this area but when we saw this spot before as Dick Hallorannn showed Danny and Wendy the storeroom the second stack of plates was only half the height of the stack on the right.
Continuity: In a scene near the beginning of the movie when Danny is throwing darts in the play room two girls appear in front of him. In the first shot look closely at the ashtray on the table in front of the phone booth, it's squarely in the middle of the table. No one goes near this spot but the next time we see it the ashtray has been moved about four inches to the right.
Continuity: After Mr. Ullman tells Jack the story of, "the tragedy we had up here in the winter of 1970" there's a close-up shot of Bill Watson again and it's clear to see that the refrigerator behind him has been moved to the right during the scene without any one going near it. If you look closely when Bill Watson walks into the room the refrigerator extends about two inches past the left of the picture above, then when seen again several shots later it's perfectly even with the picture above.
