Corrected entry: Lawrence is on the train and drops his wallet. The shot is of him in an empty compartment. Next shot is of a man picking up and returning the wallet.he just magically appeared out of no where.

Correction: The scene is a "dream" of sorts. When he awakens, the wallet is in the same spot on the ground along with the newspaper, which he folds in the "dream".

Corrected entry: During the beginning of the movie, shortly after Lawrence returns home, Anthony Hopkins is blowing off the "candles", I wonder what type of "lamp" that is. The lights should not fade off. You can obviously compare the effects when he blows off the candle in the next moment.

Correction: If they are oil lamps, which they are, the wick, which is soaked with oil, will continue to glow for a few moments after the flame is blown out. That's why they fade out like that.

Corrected entry: After Larry's rampage through London he hides in Gwen's shop. Gwen returns and using a wall switch turns on the electric lights! (Year=1891?).

Correction: She was actually turning up the gas for the lamps.

Corrected entry: The film is set in 1891 and depicts a scene where the wolfman attacks a bus full of passengers, yet the earliest motorised buses were not introduced to London until 1902.

Correction: The bus seen in the film is steam powered, which were in use since the 1830's.

Other mistake: When Lawrence is looking at his wound in the mirror, it has slightly healed. Later, when Sir John visits Lawrence in the asylum, he shows the bite mark he got from the feral child to Lawrence. Since Sir John is also a werewolf, the bite mark should not be there.

Dr. Hoenneger: Now, we are all aware that Mr. Talbot has suffered quite traumatic personal experiences. He witnessed his mother's self mutilations. His young mind, unable to accept it, created a fantastical truth, that his father is to blame. That his father is literally a monster. [Turns to Lawrence.] But, your father is not a werewolf. You were not bitten by a werewolf. You will not become a werewolf, any more than I will sprout wings and fly out of that window.

Trivia: Maybe more coincidence than trivia, but towards the end of the film, Gwen shoots and kills the Wolfman/Lawrence Talbot - in effect, beauty kills the beast. In Universal Studios' other major classic monster movie, King Kong, the beauty kills the big ape, albeit indirectly.

Suggested correction: King Kong was produced by RKO, not Universal.

I stand corrected. There's been some back and forth as to who owned the franchise at a point. So, coincidentally perhaps, beauty still plays a role in the creature's demise. :).
