Deliberate "mistake": The film is set in 1997. There is a scene where Amelie knocks on a house door and in the background is a new model VW Beetle. These weren't available until early 1998. You can also see several scenes with various new models of Fiat Punto and VW Golf which weren't available until 1999.

Continuity: When Nino goes to 'Les deux Moulins' for the first time, we can see Amelie writing the menu on a glass right behind him. A few shots later, we see the glass again and the handwriting is quite different. That's easy to see if you look carefully at the 'd'. Later on, we see the glass once more, and the handwriting has changed again.

Continuity: Young Amelie is taking pictures with her camera - the only button on the camera is on the top right. However in the behind shot of her taking the picture of the rabbit-cloud, the button is on the left. Submitted by Hamster
