Continuity: At the beginning when Alfalfa is in the boat and the girl slicks his hair back, there is a shot where Alfalfa's hair is already up. When she kisses him, his hair pops up again.

Trivia
In the movie, Spanky and Alfalfa's last name are Switzer and McFarland. These were the last names of the actors who originally played them in the 30s. See more...
Continuity: After the Ballet, Alfalfa is being chased by the two bullies and Alfalfa is carrying a handkerchief that Darla gave him. He dives into someone's pool and swims across. When he gets out, he picked up his underwear but the handkerchief is gone. In the race, he has the handkerchief back.
Other: When Alfalfa takes some flowers to Darla, Waldo (the rich boy) turns up and Darla's friends comment on the rich kid. As one girl is saying her line, 'He's smoother than a baby's bottom' you can see the girl next to her mouthing the same line.
Visible crew/equipment: When Alfalfa is being chased by the bullies, he dives into someone's pool and swims across. When he gets out, there's a shot of him standing there with the house behind him. A couple seconds later the dog starts barking at him. Behind the dog, leaning up against a wall, is the cardboard cutout of the house used in the previous shot.
Audio problem: At the talent show, where Waldo does his duet with Darla, you can tell he's lip synching. Sometimes he mouthes the words too late or too early. And in shots where he has his head up, his Adam's apple isn't moving, a sure sign no noise is coming out of him.
Other: When Waldo and Darla are heading towards the go-cart race, as Waldo is phoning his dad, you can see that Darla is looking straight at the camera, then looks at the back of Waldo's head and keeps looking that way for the rest of the scene. It's obvious that Darla was not supposed to be looking at the camera, especially if you watch the ending credits, where people are telling her not to look at the camera.
Revealing: When Alfalfa is running in the street only in his underwear and socks, it is very obvious that he has sneakers under his socks.
Revealing: When Spanky and Stymie are going into the bank for a loan, it's clear that their legs are that of an adult based on how high up the knees are. This is even more apparent when they are leaving the bank, in that their knees are at the same height as the adults going in.
Audio problem: When Buckwheat says, "It's worse than I thought", while watching Alfalfa and Darla in the boat, you can see Uh-Huh next to her mouthing that line.
Continuity: When the kids run into the shed to change to their firefighter outfits to fight the clubhouse fire, it is glaringly obvious where they stopped the film and started it again: the sky has changed and is much more dim than when they entered.
Continuity: During the big go cart race, the one of the tyres on the rascal's cart wobbles at times, but not at other times.
