Continuity mistake: When Bess waits at the phone booth for Jan's call Dodo comes by on a bike. She stops and pushes her hood back a little, but when the camera angle changes the hood is down all the way. (00:39:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Bess waits for Jan to arrive by helicopter there are some long strands hanging over her face. The camera cuts briefly to the helicopter and back to Bess, and the strands are gone. (00:02:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Bess' capability of getting married is being examined by the elders, the collar of her shawl is folded up and her shawl is wrapped around it. When she is sent out the collar is down and the shawl is wrapped around her neck. (00:01:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Christy videotapes her baby sister we hear her crying, but when we see the little girl she's peacefully asleep. (01:30:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Ariel throws a tantrum and Johnny tries to pacify her by wiping her face with a wet cloth, the way her curls stick to her forehead change significantly between shots. (00:15:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Johnny says good-night to his daughters Christy says a prayer. In the beginning Ariel's arms are folded over her belly with Christy's arm on top. Then there is a close-up of Ariel's face with her folded hands in front of her face, but at the end of the prayer her arms are again resting on her belly. (01:13:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the snowball fight Mateo sits on a swing. Between shots the red end of his shawl comes out from under his coat, and keeps changing while he talks to Johnny. (01:06:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Mateo collapses on the staircase landing, Christy puts a coat under and around his head. The camera changes to a close-up of Mateo's upper body, and the coat is not there any more. (01:02:45)

NancyFelix

Factual error: When Christy performs a song on the school stage Johnny videotapes her from the audience. In the monitor we see a close-up of a part of Christy's face which would require a tele zoom with a factor many times of what a camcorder would feature even today (the movie is set in the early eighties), plus it's also too steady for a hand-held camera. (01:00:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the pregnant Sarah watches the girls trick-or-treating Mateo there's a shot of her belly where she looks like she's almost due, but in later scenes it's much smaller, especially when she tries to keep Johnny from leaving the apartment and holds her hand against her absolutely flat belly. (00:42:40 - 00:55:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the girls trick-or-treat Mateo, Christy tucks a large strand of hair behind her right ear, but in the next shot it's again hanging down her cheek. (00:41:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Johnny and Sarah make love, Christy and Ariel have been sent to "Heaven" to have some ice cream. A group of four gays come in and wave at the girls, the third one a guy in a white jacket, and the last one a huge transvestite in a white dress. In the next shot, when we see the men in a mirror walking through the parlor, the transvestite is gone, also in the following wide shot into the room. (00:34:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Johnny catches Sarah in the fee-fie-foe-fum game the right loose end of his blindfold moves behind his shoulder and back between shots. (00:29:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Johnny tries to win the E.T. doll no ball flies in the final winning throw. We see it in Johnny's hand when he swings back, but he drops it outside the frame, because in the forward movement the hand is empty. This is especially obvious as the shot where the camera follows the non-existing ball is in slow motion. (00:25:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Johnny wins the E.T. doll the onlookers keep moving between shots. First Sarah moves from the counter behind her daughters, and later the crowd are either standing still and staring at Johnny or moving and talking to each other in alternating shots. (00:20:55 - 00:23:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Kane shoots with his left hand throughout the movie. However, after Amy shoots the last of Miller's henchmen, there's a close-up of Kane behind a window where he carries the gun in his right hand. (01:18:05)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the noon train enters the station the thick black smoke from the funnel disappears between shots. (01:08:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The lesion on Kane's left cheek changes back and forth between round and small and oval and bigger. (01:06:40 - 01:07:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Kane knocks Harvey out he falls against the wall. Then there is a close-up where Kane sits down, and Harvey's body has shifted by 90 degrees, but in the next wide shot it is again positioned as before. (00:59:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Kane walks into the stable the door starts falling closed behind him. However, when Harvey follows him the door is wide open again. (00:56:30)
