What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) - 8 mistakes
Directed by Lasse Hallström, starring Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio (add more)
Audio problem: When Becky says, "That was so brave what your mother did", her mouth movement is out of sync.
Continuity: In the scene after the funeral, you see that Juliette Lewis gets groceries and gets a ride from Johnny Depp. They put the groceries in the back of his truck on the right side under a tarp because it's raining. When they get to her camper, the groceries are now on the left side of the truck.
Continuity: In the sunset scene, Becky comments on how Gilbert missed the sunset. Then later, stock footage is used to show his house, and we see that the sunset is still going on. Not only that, but Gilbert's house consists of a single building, while this shot shows more than one building.
Visible crew/equipment: After the funeral, while Gilbert and mrs. Carver are talking in the store, she says "Everybody thinks I killed him". After she says this, you can see a microphone dip down into view.
Continuity: In the scene where Gilbert and his buddy's are eating in the cafe. The first time you see the undertakers bowl of cereal, it keeps changing from full to empty several times.
Plot hole: How could Arnie get from the top of the tree, to the water tower in such a short period of time?
Continuity: In the scene where Gilbert is talking to his two friends in the diner about Becky, when Gilbert says "Her car broke down or something," his empty hand is up by his face. In the next shot, his hand is down by his plate and he is holding a fork.
