Continuity mistake: During one of the piano lessons, Baines tries to force Ada to lie on the bed next to him. When she tries to leave, he holds her back, pulls her blouse down about the shoulders, and it tears in the back. When she gets up later, the blouse is whole again. (00:52:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Baines has his first 'piano lesson' Flora asks to be allowed in. Ada declines, and when she goes back in the house her playing starts immediately when she closes the door, way before she could have walked to the piano and sat down. (00:40:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Baines takes Ada and Flora to the shore, the girl builds a large and beautifully decorated seashell seahorse on the sand. To do this, she had to work from all around, but on one side the sand is pristine (and the sea is too far to have straightened it out). (00:23:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The stains on Stewart's top hat have a different pattern when he reaches the shore where Ada and Flora are waiting. (00:11:40)

NancyFelix

Factual error: After its trip over the ocean on which it got soaked with moisture the piano is amazingly well in tune, only later, at Baines' place, it sounds a little bit off. (00:07:30 - 00:32:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Lorenzo practices shooting he hits a bottle which his alcoholic buddy is holding in his hand. Only the neck remains in the hand, but when the camera angle changes the piece is much bigger, including the label. (00:59:15)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: After Carolina is shot dead her corpse breathes a little. (00:57:00)

NancyFelix

Factual error: When Sands throws Bellini's body into the water it floats like on the Dead Sea, as if it's made out of cardboard - barely submerged at all. (00:38:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Shortly before Sands kills the waitress she brings a pot of coffee which disappears at the end of the scene. (00:37:05)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Sands shoots the waitress she dies without receiving a visible injury. (00:37:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Before Sands kills Bellini, when he says that he wouldn't think twice about ripping the patch from his eye hole and skull-f***ing him to death he is holding his cigarette up in the air. When the camera angle changes the arm is down on the table. (00:36:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The chain with which El and Carolina are linked together gets cut open with a welding torch. When the chain falls down on the ground it's intact again. (00:34:50)

NancyFelix

Visible crew/equipment: At the bullfight a crew member is reflected in Sands' sunglasses in several shots. (00:32:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Carolina climbs on the bus with high heels, but when she and El run across the roof she wears flat shoes. As she jumps you can see she has nothing on her feet. There was not enough time for her to take them off. (00:22:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the escape scene Carolina puts her leg over the windowsill. When the camera angle changes the foot is back up. (00:21:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When we see the guitar maker walking through the village playing the guitar which he is going to give El, he is first playing left-handed, then right-handed. From the loose ends of the strap one can tell that the shot is not flipped. (00:07:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bellini tells Sands El's story the food on Sands' plate disappears when he says that he couldn't find a briefcase small enough for $10,000. (00:05:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Celie imagines throwing chocolate dollars from the train platform they scatter around, but the imagined Nettie finds them all in one place. (00:47:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the mayor slaps Sofia her two children change positions between shots. When she knocks him out the girl disappears. (00:06:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Shug and Celie start kissing Celie covers her smile with one hand in a wide shot but with both hands in close-up. (01:14:30)
