Inglourious Basterds (2009) - 17 mistakes

Factual error: Near the end, when Lt. Raine is being interrogated by Col. Landa, there is a phone on the table with a coiled phone cord. Coiled phone cords were not used until the late 1950s.

Continuity: When Colonel Hans Landa is talking to the dairy farmer at the start of the movie, the glass he drinks his milk from changes position from shot to shot.

Continuity: When Bridget von Hammersmark is in the pub, and the SS Officers are offering them a 33-year-old whiskey, you can see that the beer foam in the glass on the table is changing between the shots.

Continuity: The German Feldwebel, who gets beaten to death with a baseball bat, has a badge over is left breast pocket which disappears and reappears during shots.

Continuity: When the "Kraut Sarge" is beaten to death by Donny, you can see that the baseball bat strikes the direct center of the German's forehead after he is on the ground, though when his body is shown lying there, there is no gash in the center of his forehead, but instead on his left temple. The wound has changed positions.

Audio problem: Landa enters the farmer's house and talks to the girls but a side angle shows his mouth not moving, despite sound coming out. It only starts moving when he says the word 'Monsieur'.

Continuity: When Landa is about to kill the Jews in the farmer's house, he stands up and the box of matches keeps changing positions on the table.

Revealing: Hugo Stiglitz's eyes twitch when Hans Landa is inspecting his dead body.

Deliberate "mistake": The outer layer of human skin is bonded to the subcutaneous layers beneath. When Raine is cutting the swastika into Landa's forehead at the end of the movie, the extreme close-ups reveal that the "skin" is a thin layer of rubber attached to a blood pack - you can see the edges peel up as he is making the incisions.

Continuity: At the end of the movie, when the SS officer is surrendering, Brad Pitt's untied bow tie changes position every time it cuts back to him.

Continuity: The card the SS officer sticks to his head in the bar is initially quite low over his eyes and at a slight angle. Later in the scene it's moved slightly higher up and straighter, without him touching it.

Continuity: Shosanna is dropping the letters onto the ground while talking to Zoller. In the last two or three high angle shots before she descends the ladder, they're suddenly positioned differently from how they were before.

Continuity: When in the farmer's house, Landa's gloves on the table keep changing from wrinkled to straight depending on the angle.

Factual error: In the opening scenes by the farmhouse, the fields in the distance have "tramlines" - used for accuracy when crop spraying. The scene is set in 1941 however tramlines didn't come into use until the 1950s.

Continuity: At the beginning, when the SS motorbike is on its way to the farmer's house, we can see the motorbike going over the very same part of the road again, and again, and again, in 3-4 shots.

Continuity: In one of the shots in the pub scene, when the German major is sitting at the officers' table, Lt. Archie Hicox has his right arm around Bridget von Hammersmark, but in the next scene his arm is on the table.

Continuity: In the scene where they are playing 20 questions, the barmaid and the barman are invited to join in, in the next shot they are back behind the bar and then a few moments later they are playing 20 questions again.
