Mistake Continuity: The TV producer talks to George and says, "I mean lines ducky, can you handle lines?" and his two assistants are sitting on the window sill in front of the blinds. In the next shot they both have moved over about four feet to their left and are not in front of the window anymore.

Mistake Continuity: At the very end of "I Should Have Known Better" all The Beatles' microphones have been removed from in front of them.

Mistake Continuity: As The Beatles sit in the train car talking about Paul's grandfather Paul says, "he's nursing a broken heart" and Paul is sitting behind his grandfather. In the next shot he's leaning in front of him.

Mistake Audio problem: As George sings, "I'm happy just to dance with you" four girls stand next to Paul and Ringo as their boss comes out yelling at them to get back to work. If you look at Ringo, his drumming is in perfect sync with the song but Paul's bass playing is not.

Mistake Audio problem: A studio engineer tries to play with Ringo's drums and George says, "He's very fussy about his drums. They loom large in his legend," as he tries to tune his guitar. If you listen closely George is paying his fifth string while adjusting the tuning peg of his fourth string on his Rickenbacker.

Mistake Revealing: In their hotel room Ringo says, "Do I snore, John?" If you look at Paul's hands on the piano it's obvious that he's not playing and that it's an over-dub that we are listening to.

Mistake Continuity: John asks Paul's grandfather, "Are you nursing a broken heart?" and if you look over his head the window is closed. No one goes near it but two shots later John stands up and walks over to the old man and the window is now open.

Mistake 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.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In their final performance Richard Lester's shadow is seen going across John Lennon's back as he walks from the back of the stage to the spot where we see him between The Beatles and the audience.

Mistake Continuity: On the train we never see Shake hand anything to John then all of a sudden, he has a Pepsi and his hand.

Mistake Continuity: In all the overhead helicopter shots the shadows are very long. The shots on the ground have less of a shadow indicating they were done several hours later.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In their final performance look closely and you can see director Richard Lester moving through the shot. He's between the Beatles and the audience.

Mistake Continuity: The stage lift that Paul's grandfather is sitting on while signing the pictures is larger, and a different color that the stage lift he comes up on in the middle of the play.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: In the dining car the reflection of the crew moving around can be seen in the back against the wall.

Mistake Continuity: As he talks to Norm, Shake the TV producer says, " If they don't show up I wouldn't be in your shoes for all the tea in China" and the clock above his head reads 7:12 PM. In the next shot we see Paul's grandfather trying to sell autographed pictures of The Beatles to the girls on line outside the theater and it's mid-afternoon.

Mistake Audio problem: During the show George stops playing as he yanks Paul's grandfather off the stage but we still hear his lead guitar riff in "She Loves You".

Mistake Continuity: In the commissary Paul's grandfather says, "Would'ya look at 'em" as he tries to get Ringo to stop reading his book, which he holds differently between shots.

Mistake Continuity: The Beatles, followed by policemen run past a car thief several times as he uses a file to try to break into the car. He eventually gets in taking the file with him, but in the next shot as a Bobbie asks him for a lift the actual keys to the car appear and then disappear dangling from the lock.

Mistake Audio problem: When Ringo is "parading" he comes out of a thrift shop wearing his new over coat and hat and tries to talk to a girl in a black jacket. We hear her say to him, "Get out of it, Shorty" but her lips are saying something entirely different.

Mistake Continuity: When Paul's grandfather pulls the elevator lever he throws the pictures down in a messy pile. In the next shot when he pops up on stage the pictures are in a neat pile.
