Jabberwocky (1977)

Continuity mistake: Just before Dennis rescues the Fishfinger family, the knight is riding the horse that the Dog knight was riding earlier. When the Knight and Dennis are walking through the destroyed village the knight is riding a different horse. The pattern of white on its nose is very different. (01:23:15 - 01:29:35)

Jabberwocky (1977)

Factual error: As the knight and Dennis leave to fight the Jabberwock, another verse of the poem is recited. A line is read as "the Jabberwock with eyes aflame". The line in the original poem is "the Jabberwock with eyes of flame". (01:22:30)

Continuity mistake: In the exterior shot of Sal entering the bank, there is a car parked by the door. In the interior shot, the car is not visible behind Sal.

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Continuity mistake: Just after Sonny says, of Sal, that "that man bites" a potted plant seems to disappear then reappear from the counter. Sonny and the head cashier are moving down the counter getting the cash from each position as they go and, if you look at the signs on the counter, you can see that some shots are shown out of order; there are some shots of "Maria"'s position (no plant) interleaved with the previous position (with a plant). But the end effect is the same - appearing and disappearing plant. (00:12:20)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the duel the Vicomte de Valmont falls where he is hit, next to the wall; Danceny and Azolan rush immediately to his side. During his subsequent repentance and death, he is not moved. In the final, overhead, shot of the scene there is a long trail of blood in the snow and Valmont is not near the wall. (01:49:30 - 01:52:30)
