Mistake Continuity: When Septimus attacks the redheaded farm boy, the position of his knife changes between shots, from the farm boy's throat to behind his ear, several times.

Mistake Continuity: When Lamia is in the coach communicating with her sisters in the mirror, her image goes from old to young back to old again between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Ditchwater Sal blows the door off her caravan, just after Una stops Yvaine crossing the wall, you see the broken pieces of door fall to the ground. It the next shot they are gone.

Mistake Continuity: The pony pulling Ditchwater Sal's cart changes throughout the movie. This would be so as to not overwork any one animal. It is most noticeable in the scene when Una is driving the cart after Yvaine. When she is in the city, the pony has a white stripe all the way down its face; when it is galloping in the forest, it has two separate white spots on its face; and the pony that Tristan detaches from the cart and rides has one spot on its face. Also when Tristan detaches the pony, it only has on riding gear (a saddle and bridle), whereas earlier in the scene it only has on a harness for pulling the cart.

Mistake Revealing: Robert De Niro has a visible hearing aid in his left ear when dancing with Claire Danes on the flying ship.

Mistake Continuity: As Tristan approaches Lamia after killing one of her sisters, he walks past the dead Septimus whose sword is about a foot away from his head. When Lamia reaches into the pool to grab her voodoo doll, there is a shot of Septimus and the sword is now in his hand.

Mistake Continuity: When Dunstan Thorn attempts to cut the enchanted chain off to free Una, in the close-up of his hand, both the chain and his knife are in his right hand. In the next wide shot, the chain is in his left hand.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when Humphrey meets Tristan, who has brought flowers for Victoria, at night, there are two pails behind the men next to the side of the road. Previously, when Tristan first arrives, they were not there.

Mistake Continuity: When the Old Man who guards the wall whacks Tristan to the ground with his staff, the long shot shows him turn it upside down in a threatening gesture, but in the close-up immediately afterwards it's the right way up.

Mistake Continuity: When Lamia fakes crying and pretends to let Tristan and Yvaine go, the back of her dress changes slightly. When she first turns round, through the criss-cross at the back, you can see the goldish coloured fabric. But in the next shot, the gold is gone and all you can see is black.

Mistake Plot hole: When Septimus finds Primus dead in the bath, the Inn has vanished and the bath is in an open field. As the bath was part of the Inn magically generated from Lamia's small chariot, it should have disappeared along with the Inn. Primus should have been found lying on the ground.

Mistake Revealing: When Septimus stabs the Soothsayer at the shoreline, when he pulls his knife out, there is no blood on it.

Mistake Revealing: At the end fight scene when Lamia is laughing, you can see that her teeth are only darkened in the front, not the rear.
