The Witches (1990) - 16 mistakes
starring Anjelica Huston, Rowan Atkinson (add more)
Continuity: The position of the hood on the baby stroller as it rolls down the cliffside hills keeps changing from fully down, to halfway up, etc. as Luke chases it.
Continuity: The position of the drawing Luke holds, as he lies down on the bed talking to his Grandma, changes. Also, the Grandma (Helga) picks one drawing up twice between shots.
Continuity: After a witch is blown up in the RSPCC meeting, the size of the burnt hole in the chair changes for a shot, and so does the pile of black charred remains under the chair too.
Visible crew/equipment: The scene where Luke is changing into a mouse, you can see the masking tape on the floor where Anjelica Huston's feet are supposed to be positioned.
Audio problem: Bruno's mouth is out of sync when he says "I really do hate margarine," as he is talking to the waitress about what are in the sandwiches that day.
Continuity: The way that Helga holds her bag as she waves it in front of the Jenkins' parents changes between shots, as she tells them she has Bruno inside it.
Continuity: A small brown card appears in the witch's hand, as she stands up on the stage and says that she smells dogs droppings, as the other witches are leaving.
Revealing: Of the witches that are bald, the make-up's bald cap is much too obvious on some of them in many shots.
Continuity: The amount (level) of chips in the bowl, which Luke (as a mouse) hides in keep changing, as the chef puts the bowl down on the trolley, to when the chef picks it up and carries it away.
Revealing: The grandma, who has a missing pinkie, clearly has it in some shots, and in some scenes it is clear she is bending it behind to make it seem as though it is missing.
Audio problem: When Mr. Stringer says "What the devil," as all of the sheets of paper on the reception desk start flying about, his mouth doesn't move.
Audio problem: Near the beginning, after Erica disappears and Helga visits Erica's mother, Erica's mother says "Come on in Helga, have some cake", but she is clearly saying something else.
Visible crew/equipment: When the witch throws the toy airplane back up to Luke, who is standing in the treehouse, a wire is visible attached to the airplane, guiding it up to him.
Audio problem: As Miss Irvine sits alone in her room, drinking tea and eating cake, she says "Didn't want to be one of them anyway," but her mouth doesn't move at all.
Audio problem: When Luke (as a mouse) finds Formula 86, we hear him say, "We got it, Grandma," but his mouth doesn't move.
