Dolores Claiborne (1995) - 5 major mistakes

Continuity: When Joe takes a soda out of the fridge, and places it on the side, you can see the can says 'Coke.' In the next shot, when Dolores laughs at Joe, the can now says 'Coca Cola.'

Continuity: When Selena is leaving on the ferry near the end, and Detective John Mackey pulls up and watches her drifting away, as he gets out of the car the windsheild wipers stop moving. In the next behind shot of him standing at the dock edge, watching, they are back on again.

Continuity: Just before Dolores smashes the window, using the axe, the shape of the hole in the window changes considerably between shots. Also, as Dolores smashes the window with the axe, she is about the hit the top of the window, yet in the next shot she smashes from the bottom of the window. It is also apparent, as the glass smashes in slow motion, that Dolores' reflection is painted on.

Continuity: When Dolores and Selena are having their first meal at the old house, in a back shot we see Selena pour herself a drink, take a sip, then place it down and then proceed to smoke her cigarette. Then when it cuts to a front shot Selena now has her glass back in her hand and is drinking, then she puts it down again. In these same two shots the layout of the items on the table - the wine bottle, cigarette pack, ashtray etc., all differs.

Continuity: In one scene someone is smoking a DuMaurier Canadian cigarette which was taken from an American cigarette package.
