Enchanted (2007) - 39 mistakes

Continuity: When Giselle opens the window in Robert’s apartment, in the exterior shot, to sing for furry cleaning help, there is a set of three windows to her right, with a balcony. Odd thing is, in the interior shots the window she sang from is to the left of the couch, but to the right of the couch there are three French doors, not windows, that open to the balcony.

Visible crew/equipment: At Robert’s apartment, when he and Morgan stand by the window just as Edward takes Giselle’s hands and later kneels, the actors’ two T-marks are visible. The pink marker was for Giselle in the previous shots, and Robert and Morgan stand behind the orange marker. (Only visible on fullscreen DVD.)

Factual error: When animated Giselle begins to sing and brushes her hair, the reflection of her “one true love” is visible in the mirror. Problem is that its image is not reversed in the reflection.

Continuity: After the turtle gives animated Giselle the red rose, she places it on the jacket of her “one true love”. In the following shots, the rose repeatedly disappears and then reappears, particularly in the close-ups.

Other: In his search of Giselle, when Edward knocks on doors 209 (hissing cat), 405 (barking dog), and 714 (strange guy), the funny thing is that in all three close-ups the three door jambs/trim have the same paint glob markings. The actual doors were changed, but the jamb/trim remained the same for all three shots. (Only visible on widescreen DVD.)

Continuity: When Robert gets up in the morning to deal with the pest problem he has facial stubble, but when he gets outside after chasing Nancy in his pyjamas, he is nearly clean shaven. When he goes back to the apartment his heavy stubble is back again.

Continuity: During her first morning at Robert’s apartment, Giselle has made a gown out of the living room draperies, but the remaining drapes on the windows are a very faded turquoise floral and the color of Giselle’s dress material is a bright turquoise floral, which is actually more similar in color to the lamp on the table.

Continuity: When Giselle tosses the sword and the tip catches Robert’s sleeve below the cuff, in the following shots the position of its point through the sleeve keeps differing. Then, after Robert loses his grip and Giselle breaks his fall, as they both start to slide Robert’s sleeve is intact, but in the next shot the entire sleeve suddenly disappears.

Revealing: The first morning, when Robert takes Giselle to work, they enter atrium of the Time Warner Center (the well-known statue of the female Giselle admires is one of a set, the other is male), which is located at 8th Ave and Broadway, at the southwest corner of Central Park. Upstairs, when Sam tells Robert that she can't find where Giselle is from, and then when Giselle speaks to Phoebe, the very distinctive Johnson Lipstick Building (it's reddish and has three receding oval-shaped levels) at 53rd and 3rd is seen outside the window. The office scene is obviously not filmed at Time Warner, because it's impossible to be in an office at 8th and Broadway, on the West Side, and be next door to a building located at 53rd and 3rd, on the East Side.

Continuity: During the cleanup, when Giselle opens the center French doors and stands on the balcony to sing, the window she sang from earlier is directly beside the balcony, to the right. The problem here is, in the interior shots there is a wall that is about 7-8 ft wide, between the French doors and window, where the couch is.

Continuity: When Giselle falls off the billboard platform, as she hangs onto the ledge in the close-ups the metal surface is completely dry, whereas everything else is wet from the pouring rain. There is no canopy protecting the platform.

Continuity: When the animated old hag pushes Giselle into the well, as Giselle begins to transform her only jewelry is a necklace, but when she lands on the manhole cover she is also wearing earrings.

Continuity: The first time we see Robert with the arguing couple, the woman puts her finger to the side of her head in a side-on shot of her, and in the next (a more front-on shot) her hand is suddenly on the table.

Continuity: At Bella Notte's, there is a pizza pie on table, whose characteristics such as sauce, crust, dough bubbles, three basil leaves, etc., change from the start of this scene to when it is hurled like a frisbee.

Continuity: When Giselle gives the doves the heart shaped wreath to deliver to Nancy, as they fly off both sides of the wreath are seen. When Nancy thanks Robert for the flowers, the blooms differ.

Continuity: When Giselle tells the old man that things such as a smile could lift her spirits, her tiara is placed normally on her head. After the brief close-up of the man’s toothless grin, Giselle’s tiara is now positioned forward, to make it easier for the man to snatch.

Continuity: In animated Giselle’s home, there is a tree-stump table directly in front of the fireplace, with art brushes, etc upon it. The table disappears when all the little furry animals are flying out of the fireplace.

Continuity: The argument at Churchill Hairline and Smith LLP office about the Baseball card between the married couple, at the near end of the scene when Ryan is about to leave, the lady says "Let me think" while her hand is resting on her chin. When the camera angle changes her hand is oddly placed on the table.

Continuity: When Giselle is cleaning her apartment up, flies come down her fireplace in an open flue. Exterior shots of the apartment show no chimney.

Continuity: When Edward stabs the bus, the length of his sword is inconsistent. For it to reach all the way down as far as it did (as seen from inside the bus), it would have to be much longer than it is throughout the rest of the movie.

Other: The bus that Edward stabs has an NYC Transit X90 route marker on it. This route does not go through Times Square.

Continuity: Before cartoon Gisele enters the caste, two rabbits add a waistband with a slip knot on her back. When she is in the real world, the waistband is missing.

Continuity: When Giselle, Robert and Morgan are at Bella Notte's, on their table the pizza pan sits atop a chrome stand. In some shots the stand has a chrome cross bar, between its side legs at the base, and in other shots that cross bar is gone. (When setting up for the shots within this scene, the props guys simply turned the stand upside-down sometimes, which resulted in the cross bar either being on the table, or directly under the pizza pan thereby disappearing.)

Continuity: When Robert and Giselle are at Bella Notte's, there is a red checkered tablecloth on the table. The direction of the broad red lines changes between shots, in Chip's close-up when he stands on Gabrielle's plate. First it's horizontal, then vertical - note the knife and fork.

Continuity: When Giselle stands on the livingroom coffee table as she sings, the hutch stands about a foot away from the fireplace mantle behind her. When she tosses the flowers into the vase, which sits upon the fireplace mantle, the hutch is so close that it nearly touches the mantle.

Continuity: At Bella Notte's, after Robert entertains Giselle with the magic trick, the salt shaker is on the table between them and the pepper shaker is at the opposite end of the table, beside Morgan's plate. When Nathaniel brings the apple martini both shakers are beside Morgan's plate, though nobody touched the salt.

Continuity: At Katz's deli, when Pip stands on the cup scooping up the ice cube, the fork on the tray is to the right of the blue ticket. When Pip stands on the tray the ticket has moved to the tray's edge, and the fork is now to the ticket's left.

Continuity: When animated Giselle happily sings and dances, in the shot before she places the red rose on her “one true love”, the room’s round window is behind her. The very large vase with the bouquet of flowers is gone from the shelf beside the window, as are the other objects on the lower shelf.

Visible crew/equipment: When the witch gives Giselle the apple you can see a crew member reflected on the apple.

Continuity: At Central Park, when Giselle stops at the park bench and hands Clara the money, the tall black lamppost stands a few feet to Clara's left - between her bench and the next bench. When Giselle and Robert walk away, as she says, "And she was very helpful," Clara's bench is much farther away from that lamppost. Also, note the greater distance between Clara and the bench to her left and the park's signpost at the road's curve.

Visible crew/equipment: At the apartment, after Giselle falls asleep on the couch, when Robert says, “Just because she has on a funny dress, doesn’t mean she’s a princess,” and a few shots later, when he stands to call for a taxi, the side of the camera and the boom mic are reflected in the window to Robert‘s right. The boom mic moves in both shots, but the camera moves only in the second. (Only visible on widescreen DVD.)

Continuity: After Morgan smacks Robert with the pillow to wake him up, in the shot from the bedroom, she runs past the bedroom doorway pulling his left hand, but next shot, from the hallway, she’s now pulling his right hand.

Visible crew/equipment: When Giselle is up on the Palace Casino billboard platform, after Robert shows up she says, “I was wondering if maybe you…,” and we are able to see under her huge hoop skirt. There are at least three long wide safety straps dangling behind her thighs, which are not in previous or following shots when we can see under her hoop skirt.

Continuity: After receiving the phone call from Nancy, when Robert and Morgan are talking in the taxi, his seatbelt repeatedly changes from over to under his trench coat collar.

Continuity: After Pip knocks the apple martini off the table, there is a close-up of him standing on Giselle’s plate and the knife is beside the plate with the fork beside the knife. When Robert calls for help, in Pip’s next close-up the utensils are placed the opposite way, with the fork beside the plate.

Other: In the song, Happy Working Song, that Giselle sings while cleaning the apartment, she references cleaning the hair clog from the "shower" drain. But in the bathroom scene shortly after, she doesn't know what a "shower" is, so she should not have used that exact term earlier.

Factual error: At the Kings and Queens Ball, the bandleader announces that the next dance will be a waltz, which are, by definition, played in 3/4 time. However the tune that is played is clearly in 4/4 time and thus is not a waltz.

Continuity: In the scene where they are in the pizza shop, Robert's part in his hair changes back and forth noticeably between shots.

Continuity: During Giselle's first night in New York, from the time she crawls out of a sewer, the bottom of her white gown (and white stockings) becomes somewhat dirty, but by the time she falls asleep on the couch in the apartment, the gown is cleaner.
