Can't Buy Me Love (1987) - 9 mistakes

Visible crew/equipment: When Ronald and Cindy get into Cindy's car for their last date, a stage light is reflected in the car door.

Revealing: At the New Years Eve Party, Cindy gets drunk and starts looking for a bedroom to lay down in. As she opens bedroom doors, she interrupts couples making out. When she interrupts one couple there is a shoe thrown at the door, supposedly from inside the room. If you look closely you can see that the shoe is actually thrown from behind Cindy's head outside the bedroom door.

Continuity: When Cindy has given Ronald a ride home from school, they arrive at her house and as she exits her car, her purse is on her shoulder. In the next shot, her purse is hanging on her arm and she lifts it up to her shoulder.

Continuity: In the beginning when red wine is thrown on to Cindy's suede outfit, the pattern and intensity of the stain changes from when it's first thrown on her, to the bathroom, and then again when she's showing the man in the clothing store.

Continuity: When Ronald is talking to Kenneth in Science class the first morning he and Cindy are acting as a couple, Ronald's position changes. In one scene his back is completely to the table and the next he's leaning on his right side facing Kenneth.

Continuity: When Ronald has his first lunch with Cindy, the Coke can on this tray hops all over the place between shots.

Continuity: When Ronald is in the store talking to Cindy about renting her and the salesman is looking at them through the telescope, Ronald has the money in his hand fanned out. When the camera cuts to the store, the money is not fanned out in his hand anymore.

Revealing: In each of the school lunch scenes, you can observe that all the food items and soda cans are glued to the trays by the way the students are carelessly carrying the trays around.

Continuity: During the opening credits, Cindy and friends are shown driving up her driveway in a white VW Jetta sporting a red Arizona license plate on the front bumper. Scene cuts to Patrick Dempsey, then back to the VW, now parking - the license plate has disappeared.
