The Shipping News (2001) - 6 major mistakes

Continuity: When Quoyle meets Petal for the first time she gets into his car totally drenched. A bit later they stop for something to eat, and Petal's hair is completely dry.

Continuity: When Quoyle and Bunny sit at the table in their yard talking about life and death, there is no space between their bodies. In one shot one can see their backs as a reflection in the window, with a gap of about 10 inches between them.

Revealing: When the Quoyle ancestors pull the house across the ice the four ropes are hanging loose in spite of the strong pull one should need to move a whole house. Not to mention that the whole idea of getting a house down the cliffs in one piece, pulling it across the ice and lugging it up another cliff requires some strong imagination.

Continuity: When Quoyle and Pretty come back from the car accident they drive by Wavey and her son walking on the roadside. While they are driving a housing area is passing by as background. Only the two shots that show Wavey and her son are taken in an open area next to a little graveyard, but no houses.

Continuity: When Quoyle talks to Agnis when she is reading sitting on the cliffs the rock she is leaning against changes from shot to shot. In the last shot from a distance she is sitting not leaning against anything.

Continuity: When the protagonists fly kites on the cliffs Bunny is wearing red shoes. When they come back her shoes are grey.
