Mistake Continuity: When Ralphie and Randy go to see Santa, we see Santa deal with a boy who he calls a "wet one" and we see him tell the elves to get him off because he's wet. There's no wet spot visible on the boy.

Mistake Continuity: When Scut grabs Schwartz and tries to make him say "uncle", the end of Schwartz's stocking cap is hanging loose in front of him. But in the following shot - showing Scut throwing Schwartz to the ground - the end of the stocking cap is behind Schwartz's back.

Mistake Revealing: Watch when all the kids are putting the fake teeth in their mouth near the beginning of the movie. Ralphie's friend, the kid who sits in front of him, just pretends to put the fake teeth in at that point. Very obvious.

Mistake Continuity: After Ralphie's mother calls Mrs. Schwartz because of the F - - word, the narrator says, "Three blocks away, Schwartz was getting his." Yet at the beginning of the movie, when Ralphie leaves his house, he has only walked past 3-4 houses when Schwartz comes out to meet him and Flick.

Mistake Continuity: Just after the fight between Ralphie and Scut starts, there is a shot of the two from the side and already there is quite a bit of blood on Scut's face. But then in a shot from over Ralphie's shoulder, there is no blood visible on Scut's face at all.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where all the students have the fake buck teeth on, Ms. Shields takes them all in her left hand and then we see her bend down to open a drawer with her right hand but when the shot changes to the drawer actually being opened, you can see that it is opened by her left hand and the teeth are dropped in from her right hand.
