Factual error: One of Angel's lyrics (in "Today For You, Tomorrow For Me) refers to the movie "Thelma and Louise." Rent (the movie) is set in 1989-90. "Thelma and Louise" was released in 1991.[This was caused when they did the move from Broadway to the screen. What happened was the stage show did not specify the year. So when they adapted the stage show to the movie, they didn't check the references. Plus it just sounds cool. Added info by Todd Loewen]
Continuity: In the scene when Roger is inviting Mimi to the Life Cafe, after she says "Yeah?", Roger looks away and laughs nervously then closes his mouth. When the shot changes, he is still laughing with his mouth open.
Continuity: During "Santa Fe," watch the woman who moves to the seat behind where Collins is singing. She will sit down then a cut later you see her sitting down again, and even farther into the scene she disappears completely for a shot. This is even mentioned on the movie commentary.
Continuity: During the second time Mimi is in the Catscratch Club, she leans back in front of a couple gentlemen at the front of the stage taking some money. Well if you look really close right before the grabs the money in the full body length shot, some money is in the front of her underwear. Yet when she grabs the money, there is nothing there and she's just starting to put money there.
Continuity: At the beginning of the film, Angel enters Mark's apartment with Tom and does her (his?) dance on the furniture. Notice that the long table has crumbs all over it. Fast forward one year later when Mimi is carried up to the apartment and placed on the table. Miraculously, the same crumbs are there. After her quick recovery, the crumbs are not only gone, but the table is polished.
Continuity: During the subway scene, Tom is singing and dancing, a blonde lady gets up and moves to the single chaired seat at the back of the train. In a subsequent shot from the same angle, she vanishes completely. She isn't in either her old or new seat or anywhere else to be seen on the train. Then she magically reappears. The director and cast members laugh about it in the DVD commentary.
