Revealing mistake: After Mary Robert jumps out of the car, you can see the stunt double falling for her.
Sister Act (1992)
Directed by: Emile Ardolino
Starring: Maggie Smith, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena
Plot hole: Delores is walking into the murder scene at the beginning of the movie just as Ernie is shot. Later, while she is being questioned, she tells the two detectives what the thugs said and did, yet, she was not eavesdropping or looking through the door.
Visible crew/equipment: When Eddie arrives at the casino near the end of the film, he opens the car door and in the reflection you can see the filming crew.
Trivia: In the last scene, when the choir sings at the church, the Blues Brothers can be seen on the background in exactly the same position as the church number in the Blues Brothers film.
Trivia: Bette Midler was originally set to play the part of Deloris actually played by Whoopi Goldberg. The reason they wanted Bette was because of her singing voice and the need for Deloris to be able to sing.
Trivia: "Sister Act" is credited as being written by "Joseph Howard." He wasn't a real person. It was a pseudonym Paul Rudnick made up for the film since his script had been re-written so many times by so many different writers that it didn't resemble what he originally wrote. He settled on the name when "R. Chasuble" and "Goofy" were rejected as possible names.
Reverend Mother: Girl groups? Boogie-Woogie on the piano? What were you thinking?
Dolores: I was thinking more like Vegas, you know? Get some butts in the seats.
Biker: If this turns into a nuns' bar, I'm outta here!
Question: Why does the young red-headed nun, that doesn't sing very loud (can't remember her name), wear a different habit?
Question: When the nuns perform for the pope at the end of the film, the pope is seated in the balcony. I was wondering if this would actually happen in real life. Wouldn't the pope be down at the front of the church to celebrate the Mass? I suppose he could have gone up to the balcony just for the singing but that doesn't make much sense.
Question: Why did Delores not wear the head cover of the habit in the end when they sing for the pope? Her hair is fully visible and she is wearing loop earrings.

Answer: It is because she is not, technically, a nun yet. She is a novice, one who is in the "trial period" of becoming a nun, but who has not made the final vows to join the order.

She doesn't wear a white cap in the second movie either, and she did her vows.
