Lord of the Flies

Revealing mistake: When the three boys are sitting by the fire the footage is repeated. At first the fire is normal, but suddenly the flames starts going downwards. (00:34:50)

Revealing mistake: When the boys use the glasses to start the fire, there is smoke coming from under the wood they are lighting. This wouldn't happen. It would come only from the focused point of light made by the glasses.

Continuity mistake: After the rock hits Piggy on the head and he dies, from one angle his eyes are closed but from another angle they're open.

Trivia: Ralph wears his arm in a cast for the first part of the film. This is because Balthazar Getty broke both wrists just a couple weeks before filming began, but director Harry Hook liked him so much in the role that he just wrote the injuries into the part.
