Sereenie

Corrected entry: In the Don Juan opera, just after Carlotta's solo, she and the chorus sing their final chord as they point into the audience. The camera moves across towards centre stage. Minnie Driver, obviously thinking she is out of shot stops singing, laughs and jokingly fights for position with the man standing next to her.

Corrected entry: The chandelier is gaslight. When it breaks off and falls from the ceiling, the gas should have been disconnected. Instead of burning brightly all the way to the floor and starting a fire, it should have gone out and plunged the theatre into darkness. This is what happened in the real Paris Opera house, in the original book, and on the Broadway version. Only in the movie is the chandelier capable of starting a fire after being disconnected.

Corrected entry: When Raoul falls through the trapdoor his hair is down, also when he is in the water. However when we see him climbing out of the water his hair is tied back. There is no way he would have tied it back whilst underwater trying not to drown.

Corrected entry: When Meg Giry enters the Phantom's Lair and wades through the water to step up to the grotto, we see the mirrors that the Phantom just smashed with the candlestick intact.

Corrected entry: Madame Giry's accent is the only one that is truly accurate. Christine, despite being of Swedish decent and raised by a French woman in a French opera house, is American. Meg, who also is raised in France by a French woman, is Welsh. Raoul, Vicomte de Changy, obviously a Frenchman, is also American. And The Phantom is shown to have been raised in the French opera house as well, yet he is perfectly British. Gerard Butler is Scottish, yet has a flawless British accent in the film, so why is it that his is the only accent that was tampered with?

Corrected entry: When the Phantom strangles Joseph Buquet he is face down, but mere seconds later he's face up, much too quickly to have been turned over.

Corrected entry: When Andre meets up with Firmin during Masquerade and gets his picture taken, he is wearing a rooster headdress, but during the dance sequence as he's seen on and around the stairs, it's gone. We can see that better when The Phantom sticks the sword in his face.

Corrected entry: When Christine is approaching her father's grave, to the right of the screen, a jacket is visible lying on a grave, and disappears in some shots.

Corrected entry: During the rose crushing scene on the rooftop, just before The Phantom runs for the statue, when he drops the rest of the rose and stem, a glove falls to the ground as well. But when he's up on the statue screaming to the heavens, The Phantom is wearing gloves again on both hands.

Corrected entry: As Christine and the Phantom first enter the lair in the boat, when we get the first sweeping look at the living quarters of the lair, we can see the alcove which contains the Christine mannequin, which will cause Christine to faint in a few minutes. You can see that it is totally bare. (00:34:10)

Corrected entry: In "Don Juan", when they zoom in on the cello player, the cello has no strings.

Corrected entry: The Phantom's masks are held on with elastic. However, elastic didn't exist in the 19th century, when the movie is set.

Corrected entry: During the performance of Don Juan, there is a fake fire pit in the middle of the stage. The only way for the cloth 'fire' to be blowing continuously would be if there was an electric fan below the pit. Also, when the Phantom and Christine plunge into the pit, there is no fan to be seen.

Corrected entry: During Christine's solo "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" in the graveyard, she is walking past gravestones with flowers clutched to her chest. In one shot, she suddenly has both arms down to her side and then begins to raise them back up to her chest.

Corrected entry: After the wedding ring has been seen in 'Bal Masque' Raoul and Christine are walking toward the dance floor for the 'Masquerade' sequence, holding hands left hand in right. The next shot, the hands are left to left, with a mask in Christine's right hand.

Corrected entry: After "Music of the Night", Christine wakes up and exits her bedroom. She reaches up with her right hand to pull back her hair. Her sleeve catches on her corset and hangs from it rather humorously until the camera angle changes. (00:44:20)

Corrected entry: In one scene, the prop room of the Opera Populaire can be seen. Visible are a group of gobosticks (clamps on long poles which can be assembled to support film and stage equipment). While appropriately theatrical, these are recognisably modern models.

Corrected entry: When Christine and Raoul take the floor to dance during "Masquerade" neither of them is holding any sort of mask (despite it being "Bal Masque"). However, a few shots later, Christine is seen dancing with a mask on a stick in her hand. She never uses it and it vanishes after the next couple of shots.

Corrected entry: At the end of "Music of the Night", Christine faints. When the Phantom lifts her, the feet of her stockings are dirty, as can be expected from her walk. When the Phantom lays her down in bed, the stockings are clean and white again. When she wakes up, the stockings are gone altogether.

Corrected entry: When Raoul jumps into the Mirror Room, just before the lasso drops, you can see Madam Giry standing in the mirror. She seems to be waiting for her cue.
