Ever After (1998) - 59 mistakes

Continuity: When Prince Henry first approaches Leonardo da Vinci and then chases after the thief, the horse he rides on has no markings on its face. After he shouts, Ugly peasant bastard!" Henry rides a different horse, it now has a white 'L' shape mark between its eyes, in the Prince's next close-up.

Visible crew/equipment: After the Baroness is stripped of her title, Danielle makes her entrance and everyone bows. When her stepmother has turned to face her, as everyone rises the actor's T-mark taped to the floor is visible to Jacqueline's right, behind the former Baroness. (Only visible on fullscreen DVD.)

Revealing: When the Grimm brothers' carriage pulls away from the castle, after Danielle's story is told, just before the screen fades to black, a blue car with a white top (and a couple more nondescript), can be seen parked in front of the building with a brown roof, at the bottom of the screen towards the right.

Revealing: While Danielle is up in the tree, the Gypsy punches Henry and when he flies backward and lands on his back Henry's scabbard (at his left) bends and flops around, despite the fact that his sword is sheathed, as seen in the following shots.

Visible crew/equipment: In the market scene when Prince Henry almost sees Danielle and she throws the chicken at him, because they didn't want to injure Prince Henry they put a glass plate in front of him so the chicken would not hit him. If you pause it right after Danielle throws the chicken you can see the reflection of the chicken's legs in the lower right hand corner of your screen.

Revealing: When Danielle's perfectly aimed apple causes Henry to fall off the horse, his scabbard (at Henry's left) bends and flops around despite the fact that Henry's sword is supposedly in it, as seen in the following shots.

Continuity: While Danielle is up in the tree, when Henry is punched by the Gypsy and lands on his back, the Gypsy draws his two swords and holds them up high. However, when Henry says, "Oh no, it's you again," both of the Gypsy's swords are sheathed and his hands are down. Then, when Henry draws his own sword, the Gypsy's swords are still held up high.

Continuity: When Danielle's father is leaving, the sun is setting on his right, but when we see a closeup of his face, it is lighted from his left.

Continuity: When Danielle is climbing down the tree, in the overhead shot the Gypsy is holding the sword in his right hand with Danielle's dress held up high on the sword tip as he thanks her, but next shot he's gripping the dress in his raised left hand. (More visible on fullscreen DVD.)

Continuity: Prince Henry rides up to the manor to return the horse to the Baroness, and when Marguerite and Jacqueline stumble over themselves to greet the Prince, Marguerite's long hair braid ends up over her head beside her cheek, which she promptly flips to the back of her head. Yet, this braid reappears and disappears repeatedly in the following shots.

Continuity: When Prince Henry kisses Danielle at the old castle ruins, just after she has had her beating, his hand switches from under her arm to over her shoulder.

Continuity: When Prince Henry lowers himself out the castle window, the tied bed linens hang through different sides of the divided window, between the exterior shot of Henry and the interior shot when his parents discover his escape.

Continuity: When the gypsies are in the wood fighting with Henry, the head of the gypsies has a large leaf on the front of his shirt. It disappears and then reappears when he laughs. (More visible on fullscreen DVD.)

Factual error: Leonardo da Vinci's painting, the MONA LISA, was originally painted on wood, impossible for it to have been unrolled after taking it out of the canister. Also, if it hadn't been painted on wood, it would have been painted on canvas, which doesn't stay partially rolled after you take it out of a tube of some kind. It would not have been painted on paper.

Continuity: In the first scene when we see Danielle serving breakfast to her stepmother and stepsisters just after the Prince releases Maurice, she leaves the kitchen with her hair pulled back, when she enters the dining room her hair is pulled forward.

Continuity: When the Prince proposes to Danielle, in the shot from behind her, her long hair is pulled forward in front of her shoulders, but in the shots from the front her hair is behind her shoulders and she did not touch it.

Other: In the scene when Henry walks over to pick the glass slipper off the ledge it starts raining. All his clothes get wet, except his hair, which stays perfectly dry...

Continuity: When Marguerite threatens to toss 'Utopia' into the fireplace, she holds the book out to her left, where the fireplace and its roaring fire are located. When Danielle hands over the glass slippers, Marguerite moves her arm from her side and proceeds to forcefully throw the book down directly in front of her (between Marguerite and Danielle, who face each other). Odd though, how in the next close-up 'Utopia' is shown having been tossed straight into the fire to burn, as Danielle screams.

Continuity: After Marguerite tastes the chocolate, when Henry walks over to Louise and Paulette, Louise holds an abundant armful of corn ears in the shot facing the women. In the shot facing Henry, as she turns her body there is nothing in her left arm, but then the corn is back for her to toss.

Continuity: In the scene when Danielle is brushing the stepmother's hair and the stepmother pulls her to the ground to touch her face, Angelica Huston's hand keeps on moving from Danielle's face to her own face in every shot.
