The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) - 13 mistakes
starring Anjelica Huston, Ben Stiller, Bill Murray, Gene Hackman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson
Continuity: The first time Margot is in the bathroom the doorknob is on the left side of the door. The second time she is shown in the bathroom with her mother, the doorknob is on the right side of the door. (Time)
Continuity: When Eli crashes on the house and says "Where's my shoe?" he has white socks, but when Chas throws him over the wall, he has black socks. Submitted by Dr Wilson
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene in Royal's bedroom, where Henry exposes Royal's false claim to have stomach cancer, Royal exits the room by the left door. A crew person is standing in the background behind that door, apparently having a cup of coffee. (Time)
Continuity: In the scene where Ben Stiller throws Owen Wilson over the wall you can see that Owen would land close to and parallel to the wall on the other side. A few seconds later Ben jumps over and from his direction you can see Owen is now perpendicular to the wall. It is unlikely Owen would have taken the time to rearrange himself after a 6 foot drop.
Continuity: When Royal is talking to his children about the separation with Etheline, the cigarette alternates from being in his hands and in the ashtray. Submitted by Dr Wilson
Continuity: When Royal and Pagoda are speaking in Battery Park, there's a blind man with a dog behind Royal. He has smoked glasses in the first shot, but not after that. Submitted by Dr Wilson
Other: Royal and Etheline are walking in the park and it is written in the book. But it's also written "Childrens play in the trees". They are alone in the park. There is only Henry Sherman at the end and a dog on the other side of the pond. Submitted by Dr Wilson
Continuity: Margot is in Richie's tent in the Tenenbaum house. She drops a needle on a vinyl LP at the start of a track, about 2/3 way into the disc. This track plays throughout the scene, and when the song ends, this visibly coincides with the end of the track (on the disc). However, after the change of camera angle (which enables one to see the individual tracks on the LP), the track playing is only the second track on the disc: ie starting less than a third of the way into the disc.
