Mistake Audio problem: As Fred slides down the banister he cries out “Weeee!!” but his mouth remains closed.

Mistake Continuity: Nigel knocks a box of cornflakes to the floor, and it lands on its side. Then in the next shot the box is standing upright.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the camera passes Elizabeth in the phonebox saying "Yes, that what he said...", the reflection of a crewmembers face is perfectly reflected. Then (in the same shot), as the camera pulls back and goes past the phonebox again, his face is once again reflected.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When the nurse pushes Elizabeth into her bedroom and says 'Good night, flake' Elizabeth is standing near a picture hanging on the wall. The reflection of a cameramans arm holding a boom mic is clearly visible in it.

Mistake Continuity: When Elizabeth walks out of Janie's house-boat and sees who she thinks is Charles in a boat, she has a mug in her hand. Between shots, the way she holds her mug changes.

Mistake Revealing: When Elizabeths car is stolen, Elizabeth puts the phone down and runs across the street. The camera then pans into the phonebox, and reflected in the grey shiny surface of the phone is someone in a white shirt.

Mistake Continuity: When Fred throws three teddies from out of the closet, they land on the bed that Elizabeth’s on. Between shots the colourful, striped doll moves from beside Elizabeth, to behind her on the pillows, to beside her again.
