Krista

Continuity mistake: Mi leads Velvet and the Pie onto the track, then unties the lead line and lets them go. But when it cuts to the wide shot, Mi is suddenly nowhere to be seen.

Krista

Continuity mistake: After the Ghost of Christmas Present slaps Frank, his tie gets flipped up over his shoulder. It then alternates being over his shoulder and down on his chest in successive shots.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Elliot shoots at Frank, he hits a wreath hanging on the wall, and it bursts into flames and falls to the floor. Later when it's laying on the floor however, it has what looks like ashes on the floor around it, but the wreath itself is still perfectly green and not burned at all.

Krista

Continuity mistake: At the end, Frank sees one of the dancers standing under the mistletoe. It cuts to a closeup of the mistletoe which is hanging still. But when it cuts back to the wide shot, the dancer's big hat is hitting the mistletoe, and it's moving around.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Bev and Faye are eating ice cream on the sidewalk, they're joking around, holding their arms out to the side. But in the very next shot, their arms are suddenly down in front of them.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet jumps in front of the Pie at the beginning to keep him from running away, she says "Whoa Pie." But Mr. Edes has not yet called the horse a pirate which leads to his unusual name. Given in the film the horse is chestnut-coloured, she can't be referring to his colour.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Mr. and Mrs. Brown talk about hiring Mi, Mrs. Brown is writing in a ledger. Her left hand goes from being flat on the table, to pointing at a page to hold her place, to flat on the page, to pointing again, to back on the table in successive shots.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet is talking to her mother in the bedroom, her mother puts her hand on top of Velvet's hands. But in the next few shots, her hand is on Velvet's wrist, and Velvet's hands go from being one on top of the other to folded from shot to shot.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet and Mi get in the cart to go to Mr. Edes's farm, Velvet is sitting on the left and Mi is sitting on the right. But when we next see the cart, Velvet is on the right and Mi is on the left. They only have the one delivery to make, and it's not established that they have any reason to have gotten out of the cart.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet is riding the Pie for the first time, they ride past Mi, and Velvet has her crop in her left hand. But in the next shot when she turns around to ride beside Mi, the crop is in her right hand.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy Stewart is watching the couple in the next building, the wine glass behind him alternates between being almost full and almost empty in successive shots.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When the group emerges from the woods and is looking at the Emerald City, from the front Toto is about ten or fifteen feet to the left, standing on a rock. It then cuts to Dorothy for just a second, and then to a shot of the group from the back, and Toto is suddenly right behind them. (00:54:35)

Krista

Other mistake: As the Wizard is pulling his curtain closed, he says the famous, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain," in a loud, booming voice. But he's turned 180 degrees away from his microphone, which we see a second later needs to be right in front of his mouth to make the booming voice effect. (01:28:40)

Krista

Continuity mistake: During the Lion's king song, the Tin Man breaks a flower pot and places it on the Lion's head as a crown. In the wide shot, the Tin Man's hand is still on the crown, but when it cuts to a closeup of the Lion the Tin Man's hand is suddenly gone. (01:06:00)

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Dorothy is holding Toto in the last scene, the dog is facing to the left, but in the very next shot he's suddenly facing to the right.

Krista

Continuity mistake: After the Witch throws a fireball at the Scarecrow in the woods and disappears, Dorothy is holding Toto. But when it cuts to a closeup of her, it looks like her shoulders are extended. When it cuts back to the wide shot, she indeed has her arms around the Scarecrow and Tin Man, even though she never put Toto down. (00:46:55)

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet is talking about her father getting rid of the pie, in the wide shot she's barely touching the horse at all. But in the closeups, she has both arms cradling his face.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Carrie is talking to the gym teacher on the outside bench, in the wide shots Carrie's hair is perfectly flat but in the closer shots, there's a big spot on her left side that's sticking out. (00:35:45)

Question: Why do the parents have two twin beds in their bedroom, instead of one double bed? I thought that was just a TV gimmick from the old days when they weren't allowed to show a man and woman in bed together. Did people really sleep like that, or was it just a production design decision for the film? The movie was made in the '80's after all.
