Anchorman (2004) - 39 mistakes
starring Christina Applegate, Fred Willard, Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell
Continuity: Early in the movie, as Ron Burgundy is talking with his dog at his apartment, pay close attention to the suit jacket on the back of the chair. As the camera shifts between views of the dog and Ron, the coat moves around. In the final shot, when the dog jumps off the back of the chair, the coat is in yet a third position.
Continuity: At the beginning of the brawl, you can see that Brian falls down as the rest of the crew runs forward. In the next shot he is right there with them pointing his gun at other groups. Submitted by Joel Amos Gordon
Continuity: Right before the brawl, Brian pulls out a pistol which he also has right when the brawl begins. However, in the very next shot someone is swining a weapon down at him and he's holding nunchucks (play it on slow and you can see it's him). Submitted by Joel Amos Gordon
Continuity: In the scene when there is a question mark written on the teleprompter and Ron says, "I'm Ron Burgundy?" you see a shot of the teleprompter and the question mark is visible. However, what's written on the teleprompter and what Ron says before this are two different things. Ron says something about the panda, but the teleprompter says something about a blind man and his pet falcon.
Revealing: In the brawl, where the horseman are coming after Brian, look at the two newsmen behind him. One rears back without getting hit, then the one he's fighting falls on the ground like he got hit without actually getting hit. Submitted by Joel Amos Gordon
Plot hole: At the end of the movie when getting out of the bear pit, the crew decides to use a ladder when a set of stairs can be seen. Was this so Vince Vaughn could give his respect speech? Submitted by Joel Amos Gordon
Continuity: When Ron and his men meets up with Wes Mantooth and his men, Ron and his men's shadow is being cast on their sides. When it cuts their shadows are cast behind them. Submitted by Mortug
Continuity: When Ron comes home after the party in the beginning, you see him about to put his coat on the chair. The following shot shows the dog standing up on the chair and the coat is already lying on the back of the chair without him putting it down. Submitted by Lummie
Continuity: Before the big brawl between the rival news crews there are a number of shots where the sun is nearly setting and a second or so later will be right back up. The most notable one is just after Ben Stiller's Spanish language crew arrive there is an aerial shot with the sun very bright. In the next shot of Tim Robbins the shadow has become much more noticeable. Submitted by Lummie
Revealing: In the shot where Luke Wilson gets his arm cut off by Tim Robbins, you can see where his the fake arm is attached and cut off and you can also tell he's got his arm stuck in his coat. Submitted by Joel Amos Gordon
