Hard Day's Night (1964) - 13 major mistakes

Continuity: There is a scene in the movie where the Beatles enter a limousine, I believe at the beginning of the movie. In this particular scene the Beatles are all dressed in suits and ties, but when the Beatles are filmed in the limo, John Lennon is wearing a turtle neck sweater beneath a blazer.

Continuity: While looking for the canteen, George inadvertently wanders into a production office. The receptionist takes George in to see Simon, who believes George is there to audition for a testimonial for those "dead grotty" shirts. While the receptionist is sitting on Simon's desk, her legs are straight. After Simon says, "Because he isn't wearing one of these nasty things", her legs are instantly crossed.

Continuity: When Paul's grandfather goes to the queue of girl's waiting to see the Beatles, he offers free autographed pictures. As he is mobbed he yells "Oh me bum....me hat.". We see his hat has been taken/knocked off as some bobbies come to break it up. A quick cut to a different angle and grandpa's hat is back on his head.

Continuity: Paul's Grandfather has a wide grin on his face when Norm walks into their car on the train. In the very next shot it's gone.

Continuity: When the boys sneak off to the nightclub, the clothes they are wearing when they leave the hotel are different from those that they are wearing for the remainder of the night.

Continuity: Sitting at their table Paul's grandfather tries to convince Ringo to stop reading his book and if you look closely there's plenty of sugar in the sugar shaker. No one touches it but when the old man says, "So you are a man after all" the sugar shaker is all of a sudden empty.

Other: When the Beatles are rehearsing for the TV gig, it is easy to see that they are not actually playing their instruments. John points out to Ringo that he isn't even hitting the cymbals, which he attempts to improve.

Continuity: In several shots of the audience, girls can be seen sitting in seats, then several shots later they've moved and can be seen leaning over the balcony.

Continuity: Paul combs his hair in the mirror during the train sequence. After that a lock of hair appears over his left eyebrow for several shots. By the end of the scene his hair is back to being combed perfectly.

Other: When the Beatles are playing cards and singing "I Should Have Known Better," Paul (who shouldn't really be singing anyway) flubs the first line of the last verse. He sings "I sh... [laughs] never realized..." John does almost the exact same thing when they sing "I Should Have Known Better" in the concert scene.

Continuity: As Paul runs out of the train to his awaiting limo its door is open. In the next shot we see him from a different angle and he opens the door again.

Visible crew/equipment: On the train you can see a shadow of a mike on John's chin when he says, "No that's his other one."

Visible crew/equipment: In the opening credits two cameramen are seen in the reflection of the window.
