Updated this week Continuity: When Anthony first arrives at Judge Turpin's house, he sits on the bench across the street. This bench is positioned on the sidewalk between the iron gate's two large stone pillars. During this scene, the position of the actual bench changes, moving noticeably closer to either the left or right pillar, depending on the given camera angle. Submitted by Rikki

Screen shot Continuity: While Sweeney is upstairs with Pirelli, Mrs. Lovett gives Toby a meatpie downstairs. On a closeup, half the pie is gone, but when the shot widens right after, only a couple nibbles are gone from the cake.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett are dancing in her storefront (after they finalize their plan of what to do with the bodies), Depp is holding a butcher's cleaver in one hand. In the wide shots of them dancing, the cleaver is noticeably lower than in the close ups, where the cleaver appears to be at the level of Mrs. Lovett's shoulder.

Mistake Other: Based on the location of the barber's chair with the picture window in Todd's barber shop and the layout of the exterior of the building, there is no possible way that the chute behind the chair would be able to dump the bodies directly into the basement without going through the center of Ms. Lovett's shop.

Mistake Continuity: During the initial shaving with Judge Turpin, the amount of shaving cream and the way it was applied on his face changes throughout the entire scene depending on the camera shot.

Mistake Continuity: Nearing the end of the song "Pretty Women," Sweeney is bringing his razor closer and closer to the Judge's neck (right around the line "proof of heaven as you're living"). At one point, he brings the razor right up against to the Judge's neck. In the next shot, the razor is a few inches away from the neck. In the shot following that, the razor is back up against the skin.

Mistake Continuity: When Todd is first shaving Judge Turpin, he places the barber's brush in the shaving mug twice - once before he turns away from the barber's chair, and again in the next scene as we see him move toward the camera.

Mistake Continuity: When Sweeney kills Turpin, his forehead is covered in blood. Half a second later there's just a tiny spot. Submitted by Sacha

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the "I feel yuo" scene, Anthony walks with his face covered in blood. The hair around his forehead covers at first, and suddenly it doesn't. Submitted by Sacha

Screen shot Continuity: During the "Worst pies in London" song, Mrs. Lovett drips the pie filling into the crust, and it fills the crust up to a bit over the top. In another shot, she rolls on the pie top, but the filling is much less than before, not even to the top of the crust.

Mistake Continuity: The blood on the window, when Sweeney kills Turpin, keeps appearing and disappearing all the time. Submitted by Sacha

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Mrs. Lovett has given Sweeney a glass of gin (when they are deciding what to do with the bodies) he takes a large swig and another smaller one and the gin is nearly gone. When it cuts away to Mrs. Lovett and back to Sweeney, the glass is full again and there was no sound of another glass being poured.

Mistake Continuity: When Sweeney is showing Mrs. Lovett the razors right before they start singing, he pulls one out and opens it out straight. He stands up and the blade is still straight. It cuts to a closer shot, and the razor is at a noticeably different angle, then it goes back out to a full shot and the razor is straight out again.
