Directed by: Stanley Kubrick

Revealing mistake: During the driving scene, the background is illuminated by non-existent headlights. It's running backward on the projection screen.
Revealing mistake: During Alex's fantasy after he says, "I knew such lovely pictures", they show a bride being hanged. You can see the "bride" has a beard.
Continuity mistake: When Alex is seeing the prison governor about being released, the governor's glasses are on a pile of papers on his desk. From various camera angles they are on some files, back on the papers or halfway between.
Chief Guard Barnes: Violence makes violence.
Trivia: In the scene where Alex approaches the two girls at the record stand you can see the original score for 2001: A Space Odyssey, also directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Question: I don't understand why Alex waits until Mrs. Alexander has unchained the opened front door and fully opened it, before he and his droogs break in. I'm sure the four of them could easily have broken the chain off with a bit of force. Is it simply part of Alex's nature to be invited in, before he starts his attack?

Chosen answer: It's part of the "fun element" of the crime to get the victim to open the door themselves.
