⇓

Factual error: When the children jump off the remains of Aunt Josephine's house, they jump further than they'd be able to. The slanting floor, at least, would reduce the distance, plus they didn't take enough of a run up to jump the gap.

Other: When the children run into Captain Sham (Count Olaf in disguise), Aunt Josephine says that the children will make them a meal of puttanesca. You need the stove to make puttanesca but Aunt Josephine would never let the children anywhere near the stove because she was terrified that it would burst into flames.

Continuity: When Violet and Klaus are about to close the door in front of Stephano he rams a knife in to the door, and he even twist the knife a bit. This should at least make a mark. Later when Stephano asks if the kids can help him with his bags Violet turns around facing Uncle Monty. Now we can see the door and there is no mark where Stephano rammed the knife in to.

Deliberate "mistake": When Sunny picks up the Scrabble letter, you can hear her biting a piece of it. But when she places it on the board, you can see it hasn't been chewed on. It looks exactly the same as when she picked it up.
