Continuity: When the brother and sister are arguing, it is supposedly 6:30. because that is when the marathon starts. But watch when he flips past the preview channel - it is showing shows for the 1 to 2:30 slot.

Pleasantville (1998) - 6 major mistakes
Directed by Gary Ross, starring Jeff Daniels, Joan Allen, Reese Witherspoon, Tobey Maguire, William H. Macy (add more)
Factual error: You can see the 3 point line painted out on the basketball court, they never had 3 point lines in the 50s.
Factual error: When Reese Witherspoon's character is sitting at the desk reading, there is a cheerleading trophy and the cheerleader on it is wearing a mini skirt, - they didn't have mini skirts on the cheerleading outfits then.
Plot hole: When Bud's mom gets scared because she turned "coloured," Bud puts makeup on her to hide the colour. When he is done, she is entirely black and white again. But how did he get the inside of her mouth, irises and edges of her eyes, and hair to change back to black and white?
Audio problem: When Bud is yelling at his sister in the school hallway by her locker, she complains about girls not being happy in poodle skirts and sweater sets. When the camera's point of view switches, her mouth is still moving even though she's stopped talking.
Continuity: In the scene where the angry people throw rocks through a painting of a naked woman on a store window, the first rock smashes right through the womans face. In the next two scenes, more rocks are thrown, but the womans face is again visible, and the first hole is above where it should be.
