Mistake Continuity: During "Seize the day Number' there are 2 boys on the statue, mere seconds later there are four boys and we see one get down, but in the next shot there are 5 boys on the statue.

Mistake Continuity: At 22:50 a guy is waving a sign that says: "Trolley strike unfair to workers" in front of the Magazine store and behind the boys. At 22:57, on a wide angle, he is gone.

Mistake Other: In the scene when the nuns are giving the Newsies food when one of the Newsies sings "Something to wake me up", one of the kids behind him is mouthing out the words.

Mistake Continuity: The beginning of the "seize the day" scene, there's a shot of the statue, and it's all 'dressed up'. (Paper hat, strike sign, pink necklace, etc.) The camera shot changes, then when you see the statue again in the same scene, it's perfectly clean.

Mistake Continuity: In the opening Song "Raise the Banner" Jack is talking to Mush and turns away from him as he is trying to button his pants, his shirt is tucked in as well. After he lathers his face and throws shaving cream at Mush he starts to sing and if you look, his pants appears buttoned and his shirt is hanging out.

Mistake Continuity: The Soaking scene. The wagon is covered. All of a sudden the wagon is bare (top) as the Boys tip it over which spills all of the papers. Then after the kids at racetrack are throwing bundles off of the wagon, the wagon is covered again and upright, while seconds later it is back on it's side.

Mistake Continuity: When Medda is singing "high times, hard times" with the newsies, she skips down a walk way with Kid Blink and Racetrack. The shot changes to Jack and Sarah, then goes back to Medda singing. But the two boys who lift her onto the higher stage after she was skipping aren't Kid Blink or Racetrack. They're different newsies. And then a few shots later you see Racetrack and Kid Blink somewhere else, singing along.

Mistake Other: The newspaper headline on the first day of the strike (the day Crutchy was arrested) is the same headline on the last day of the strike.

Mistake Other: In the scene where the newsies rip up the papers, the boy in the beginning gets the papers knocked out of his his hands and then kicked in the face but at the end of the scene you see the boy ripping up the papers with the rest of the newsies.

Mistake Continuity: The Delancy brothers are chasing jack (at the rally) with Morris the closest to him. As he reachs up to grab Jack, to keep him from jumping, the camera cuts to his feet and his hands are missing, as he jumps to safety.

Mistake Factual error: In "Santa Fe," Jack sings the line "Far from the lousy headlines and the deadlines in between." The word "deadline" was not used in this sense until the 1920s (the movie is set in 1899).

Mistake Continuity: Towards the end of the movie when the newsies are standing by the large statue and all of the other children start coming, there is a shot of all the newsies together and you can see Spot in the background. In the shot right after, Spot is shown leading the Brooklyn newsies.

Mistake Other: In the song "King of New York", Mush is down on the floor singing 'a star for one whole minute' but in the next shot we see him tap dancing on the table.
