Kate & Leopold

Continuity mistake: In the board meeting scene in which the margarine commercial auditions are first being looked at, the video gets paused on the first man auditioning and then the second man auditioning, but in each subsequent shot of the television, it's back to being paused on the first man auditioning. (00:29:49)

Continuity mistake: When Kate appears in 1876 New York, including at the ball, she is wearing a different gown to the dress she was wearing in modern day New York. (01:51:18 - 01:53:10)

Trivia: The movie was re-edited days before its release because critics at one of the press screenings noticed a glaring problem. Originally, Leopold was Stuart's great, great grandfather. Since Kate eventually went back in time to be with Leopold, she would be Stuart's great, great grandma as well. Talked about whacked out incest. Most instances of that relationship were removed (it is alleged that Leopold's line "I felt that we met before on a previous occasion" early on was left in by mistake,) though it is explained on the director's cut version on the DVD.
