The Great Race mistakes
Continuity: This takes place at the beginning of the movie, in the balloon scene. When Leslie is hanging from the balloon, we see the balloon soaring over the land very quickly. However, when Leslie climbs up to the balloon to parachute out, he is still right where he started.
Continuity: At the beginning of the pie fight, Jack Lemmon says, "You wouldn't dare." and George Macready hits him with a pie. Very little of it sticks to Lemmon's face; most of it falls off. There's a quick cut to a shot of Tony Curtis, then another cut back to Lemmon, whose face is now totally covered with pie.
