White Chicks (2004) - 48 mistakes

Continuity: In the first scene with Marcus and Kevin dressed up as women, they walk to the hotel counter and knock things off the rack. Depending on the camera angle, the things spilled on the counter such as the cup, pencils and pens disappear, reappear and change position.

Continuity: When Marcus and Kevin, as the Wilson sisters, arrive at the Royal Hampton Hotel, when they exit the limo Kevin's breasts are a normal size, but when they walk into the hotel and he knocks down the stuff on the counter, his breasts are huge.

Continuity: After Kevin and Marcus knock down the ice cream guys, they take off their fake chest hair and put it down. After a few shots, the hair is back on their chests, but a few shots later, it's off again.

Revealing: When Marcus (dressed up like one of the sisters) is braiding the blonde girl's hair you can easily tell that the corn-rows were already done and that the hair that is not done is a wig. You can see the line were the wig starts. Also it's probably a wig because when Marcus (dressed up like one of the sisters) is braiding the hair he just looks like he is moving it and that the braids are already done.

Continuity: When the "Wilson sisters" and their friends are driving along during the music scene, between a wideshot and closeup the background goes from being all trees in the distance, to suddenly all the sunny sky showing, and trees changing and appearing from shot to shot.

Continuity: When "Brittany" is beating up the male strippers, she is wearing tan slippers in the beginning of the fight and blue slippers at the end of it.

Continuity: When the girls go into the toilet when Karen is being sick, in one shot 'The Wilsons' are holding her hair scruffily on top of her head, then in the next shot her hair is quite neat and pushed behind her shoulders.

Audio problem: When Kevin, as Tiffany, is in the hotel lobby she starts to write a letter she says "Dear Mister Royal Hampton." then it cuts to a behind shot and she says "I am a white woman in America." but his jaw doesn't move.

Continuity: When Marcus's wife comes to the hotel, his lipstick becomes much more evident when he answers the door than it was seconds before when he was talking to Kevin.

Other: In the scene where Marcus and Kevin are first dressed up as the Wilson sisters, as they step out of the limo, Kevin (as Brittany) tells Marcus (as Tiffany) to act like a normal girl. Then Marcus flips his hair and the part in his hair is now crooked because he didn't get all of his hair back to one side. The next time you see him, the part in his hair is straight, and his hair is no longer out of place on top of his head.

Other: When the two rival agents find Marcus and Kevin's masks, the masks are shown with lips attached. Whenever we see shots of the guys putting on the masks, there aren't any lips attached; they put their own lips through a hole.

Continuity: When the Vandergeld sisters are on stage at the fashion show, they hear a sound and look up and see the buckets of paint. In the next shot, their heads are down as the paint hits.

Other: While Marcus and Latrell are on a date, and Kevin takes the car it is dark outside. After the scene that Marcus calls Kevin to tell them they are done eating, there is a scene showing the other two agents looking through the "Wilson's" room and it is light out. The following scene is when they are all at the club, after Marcus' and Latrell's date.

Continuity: When the guys are driving the real Wilsons to their hotel, one of the guys, who is in the back, emerges from all the bags in the backseat. Between shots the bags around him constantly move, and in the first shots a brown bag jumps from behind him, to under his arm.

Deliberate "mistake": When Marcus and Kevin reveal their real identities to the crowd, their eye colour changes from blue to brown without any indication that they removed their contact lenses. They simply lift off their masks.

Continuity: When the ice cream delivery men pull up to the bodega, they park directly in front of the newspaper dispenser. When we see a shot of them walking into the store, the newspaper dispenser is shown but the truck is nowhere in sight.

Continuity: When Kevin (as Brittany) is beating up the male strippers, he throws one guy onto an end table and the whole table collapses. In the shots following, we see the table only partially collapsed.

Continuity: At the disco, Latrell puts drugs into Tiffany's drink. Tiffany finds out and switches the drinks around. When she did this, the "drug" drink was still in front of her. In the next shot, it is in front of Latrell.

Other: At the beginning of the film, The Real Wilson sisters are portrayed as being vindictive, stuck up and spiteful. But at the end of the film, their personas have changed to typical "dumb blondes."

Continuity: In the scene where the girls go to the beach the weather is all over the place. When they first get to the beach and find their spot it is overcast. But when it shows the beach bar and then the boys throwing the ball there is bright, warm sunshine. When the camera goes back on the girls it is suddenly cloudy again, then in the immediate next shot it is basking in sunshine once again. This happens many times during the scene.

Continuity: The red paint dropped on the catwalk disappears when the dragon is about to come out, but later it is back, and a lot thicker, when the chief walks out.

Continuity: When Brittany fights with the strippers, in the background there is a table with a blue plate, a phone and a lamp on it. But when Brittany throws one stripper into the table, the lamp has disappeared for the stunt.

Continuity: In the scene where the homosexual fashion designer tells the two girls that they aren't in the fashion show and she offers him sex for it, he lights a cigar in his mouth. When it cuts from close-up to wide shot, the cigar moves from his mouth to his hand, beside his leg.

Plot hole: In the scene where Tiffany is trying on clothes, the sales associate walks into the room unexpectedly, "Tiffanys'" shirt is partially off. But the sales associate doesn't notice that she is actually black with fake breasts and a wig.

Continuity: In the Discotheque scene where Marlon and Latrell just drank their drinks (with the drugs), one of the cocktail glasses switch from being half full to empty between shots.

Continuity: Agent Harper's earpiece disappears in one shot and reappears in the next shot when he is checking the fake Wilson sisters into the hotel.

Continuity: When the girls are knocking on the "Wilson sisters" (the Copeland brothers in disguise) hotel door for the slumber party, the girl in the middle is holding a stack of magazines, and "Cosmopolitan" is on top. When one of the "sisters" opens the door, the magazine on top is now "Self".

Plot hole: Kevin and Marcus's plan is flawed because, if Kevin had to "valet" park the car and he used it to drive Denise to the house he would have to: drop her off, return the car as Kevin, and somehow change into the girl disguise on. Unless he dropped off the car with the girl disguise on, it would be impossible to do that unless he brought a bag with him. Also he would have to somehow travel to the club and get there before Marcus.

Continuity: In the scene where Agent Harper and his partner bring the real Wilson sisters to the chief because they think they are the fake sisters, Agent Harper pulls down one of the girls shirts. Before the shirt is pulled down almost all of the girls hair is behind her shoulders, but when it shows her from the back all of her hair is over her shoulders.

Continuity: When Kevin and Denise are having a glass of wine at Latrell's house, the wine glass goes from her right hand to her left hand and then she is empty-handed.

Continuity: In the beginning of the movie, when Kevin and Marcus (as the Spanish guys) are ready to give the suitcase with the money to the ice cream man, you can see that Marcus hesitates to give the suitcase to him. When Marcus is climbing up the balcony, you can see that the suitcase is gone.

Continuity: When Kevin and Marcus dressed up as two Spanish guys pull out the briefcase full of money, they put it next to the two maracas. However, in the next shot, we see a closeup of the briefcase, and the maracas are replaced by a blue object.

Continuity: Right before Marcus (as Tiffany) unbuttons his pants at the dinner table, the waiter can be seen taking away the wine glass in front of Latrell. In the next shot, the wine glass is back on the table.

Continuity: After the real drug dealers enter the bodega, the lid on the ice cream container behind Kevin and Marcus goes from being off to on between shots.

Continuity: In the fight at the start of the movie, Marcus is thrown over the counter. Some boxes of sweets are knocked the ground, some stay on the counter. In the next shot, the counter is completely clear of any sweet boxes.

Continuity: When Kevin and Marcus are talking to the other two agents, their positions change. When they are shown from the front, they are standing right next to each other. When they are shown from behind, the is a least a foot between them.

Revealing: When one of the 'Wilson' sisters leaves with Latrell for their date (after he starts singing to her), the car they get into is supposed to be valet delivered just before they step into it, yet when it pulls away there is a visible dry spot on the road beneath it. Clearly the car had been parked on that spot for long enough that the heat from the engine dried the wet pavement underneath it, which would take far longer than the length of one song.

Continuity: When Tiffany/Marcus is in the bathroom after eating the quiche his underwear goes back and forth from near his ankles to up on his thighs between shots.

Continuity: When Busy Phillips is vomiting in the Disco-Tech bathroom the women in the background change positions between shots and then just disappear altogether.

Continuity: When "Tiffany" lays on the beach, you can see a magazine laying on the towels beside her. Then when it cuts to a closeup, the magazine is gone and now there is a blue shirt with a mobile laying on top and a blue and white towel has also appeared.

Audio problem: When one of the "Wilsons" chases the handbag theif, she yells "You messed with the wrong blonde today," but her mouth doesn't move.

Continuity: When Tiffany is trying on clothes and the saleswoman helps her to get her head through the shirt-hole, she is talking on the cell phone to Gina. She falls against the wall, and her hair is hanging loose outside of the shirt. In the very next shot, she remembers she needs to call Gina, and her hair is completely tucked into the shirt.

Continuity: During the scene when Kevin and Marcus (as the sisters) go to the beach, you can see that the sunlight changes during the shots. In some shots, it looks like the weather is clear and in others it looks like it's a bit cloudy.

Continuity: After Karen (Busy Phillips) tells off a longtime crush-turned-jerk, "Tiffany" (Marlon Wayans) comforts her. Tiffany puts (his) hands on the sides of Karen's neck and tells her a little line about "guys not seeing the beautiful thing right in front of them," or something to that effect. Watch the shots here carefully - facing Karen, Tiffany's hands are on both sides of Karen's neck. From the shot behind Karen, however, one of Tiffany's hands is on her shoulder. Both hands are back on her neck in the next shot.

Factual error: When Latrell is in the car singing to one of the Wilson sisters, you can see the steam from his breath. This is supposed to be taking place on Labor Day weekend, which is the first part of September. I doubt it would be that cold at night.

Continuity: When the ice cream guy walks into the shop at the very start of the movie, he's wearing a cap, but when inside the shop, the cap is gone.

Revealing: When the dog is dragging Kevin by the leg, you can see the padding underneath the pants leg.

Continuity: When the thief steals the handbag, the Wilson has black heels on. She then goes to barefoot when chasing him, then in one shot she has white trainers on, and is then back to barefoot when she catches the man.
