A Perfect World (1993) - 28 mistakes

Continuity: When the trick-or-treaters come to the Perrys' door, Phillip's mom ushers her children back into the house. They obey immediately, but when the camera angle changes the girls are back where they were and leave again.

Plot hole: There's a number of strange things about Butch's and Terry's escape: When the grid falls down the very loud noise passes unnoticed. After they climb down the tied bedsheets Butch pulls once and it comes down, although no-one tied it loose. And finally, their escape route ended within the prison walls, and they needed to kidnap the clerk, who had come back into the prison to get some papers, for the escape in his car, something which wasn't planable at all.

Continuity: After Phillip gets knocked over by Terry he gets up twice in shots from the front and from behind.

Continuity: When Butch kidnaps Phillip he grabs him with his left hand, holding his gun in the right hand. When he leaves the house Phillip and the gun have switched places.

Continuity: When Butch pulls up to stop after he punched Terry, Terry is holding his nose with one hand. When the camera angle changes he is holding both hands to his nose.

Continuity: When the police check Terry's body the corn is significantly higher than in the chase scene, where even little Phillip had to crawl on his knees for cover.

Continuity: When Sally and Red talk at the bonfire about Butch, Red is holding his coffee mug to his lips or in front of his chest in alternating shots.

Continuity: When Phillip crawls through the cornfield the gun disappears from his hand for one shot.

Visible crew/equipment: When the driver of the truck explains the intercom system to his colleague, there's a reflection of a crew member with sunglasses at the bottom of the windshield.

Visible crew/equipment: When Butch pulls up at the farmhouse where he is going to steal the Ford, a camera is reflected in the side window behind Butch.

Other: When Butch steals the clothes and the Ford, Phillip pees for almost two minutes, which is OK for an elderly man with a malfunctioning prostate but not for a healthy 8-year old boy, not even after an overdose of RC Cola.

Continuity: When Phillip is pulled into the Ford, his socks, in which he has been running around all day, are remarkable white, but later, at the Friendly store, they are as dark grey as one would expect.

Continuity: When the farmer hangs on to his car his elbow switches back and forth between inside and outside the car.

Continuity: When Butch makes room by ramming the Ford into several police cars, the trusty vehicle survives this without any visible damage.

Continuity: When Phillip is about to leave the Friendly store he is seen from behind with his arms hanging down. When the camera angle changes he is holding on to his booty.

Continuity: In the scene where Sally tries to put herself into Butch's shoes, the short ends of both Red's and his colleague's ties keep disappearing and reappearing.

Continuity: When Butch and Phillip go past the police trailer Sally spots the Casper costume. In this shot the relative movement of both vehicles is shown far too slow.

Continuity: When Butch and Phillip reach the end of the tarred road they stop directly in front of a signpost. Towards the end of the scene there are some shots where the distance to the post is at least five meters, and also from the position of the steering wheel one can tell that the car has been moved in between.

Continuity: After Phillip has tricked-and-treated the old lady she closes the screen door behind her. When the camera angle changes and he says thank you the screen is open again.

Continuity: When Phillip drives the Ford across the meadow the way he pushes the pedals doesn't match the engine sound and the movement of the car.
