Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Dorothy first enters the room full of ornaments, the camera pans backwards, away from her. The camera passes tables of ornaments. Watch the large blue vase to the right of the screen, and a cameraman can be seen reflected in it, walking backwards with the camera. (Time) Submitted by Hamster

Mistake Factual error: When Dorothy runs away from the hospital she is chased by a nurse, who has a torch. Earlier in this film the doctor said they two months away from the 20th century which gives the year as 1899. Such a modern torch that the nurse had was not invented yet. Submitted by Hamster
