Trivia

During the wedding, Violet tries to sign the marriage certificate with her left hand, and Olaf immediately stops her. The explanation is referenced in the book, in which the marriage was annulled as the justice rules since Violet signed with her "wrong" hand, she could not have been said to have signed with her legal hand.

Deliberate "mistake": In the scene where the children are first driven to Count Olaf's house, they turn round to see the house in the distance and while the house is fairly realistic the surrounding scenery and background are obviously matte painting.

Factual error: Before the Leeches attack the boat, Aunt Josephine throws out her banana peel. After she is abandoned by Olaf, the peel finally floats to the surface. A banana peel wouldn't even sink that low especially at the angle Aunt Jo threw it at.

Continuity: When the Baudelaires arrives at the Curdled Cave and Aunt Josephine says "You deciphered the clues in my note" she is holding both hands over the edge of the rock on which she is lying. When it cuts only one of her hands are over the edge.

Continuity: As Violet and Klaus are looking over the edge of the broken house notice the broken planks. In the next shot the planks have changed. Some are shorter, some are longer. Definitely a different stage of scenery.

Factual error: Olaf and Violet's marriage certificate bursts into flames after the light from the magnifying glass hits it. The papers would not burst into flames, despite the size of his magnifying glass, it should have just burned a hole. Obviously done to be dramatic.

Continuity: When Mr. Poe is bringing the kids back from Monty, it cuts to a close-up shot inside the car of his hands on each side of the steering wheel. In the next shot his left hand is suddenly on top of the steering wheel.

Continuity: When Violet launch the elf head at the train switching device, the elf head lands at least three feet away from the train tracks. When it cuts the elf head is lying right next to the tracks.

Deliberate "mistake": When Violet and Klaus have the anchor on the three cans they use to roll it on, just before they tip it over the edge, it is obvious the anchor isn't a real anchor. It's too light. When they keep pushing it back and forth, it should tip over because of the weight if it was a real anchor. They shouldn't have been able to handle it like that.

Continuity: When Aunt Josephine hands over the photo album to Violet she hands it over with one hand. When it cuts she is holding it with both hands.

Continuity: When Count Olaf leaves the car on the train tracks and heads for the shop while locking the car doors with his remote, you can see that the mannequin's stop sign in its hand is pointing to the left. But when it cuts to Olaf hitting the sign it is pointing towards the camera.

Factual error: When Klaus first finds the Eye, if you look closely at the light beam just as it exits the eye, it is curved like a vortex. Light cannot do this; it should have been straight more like a cone shape.
