Deliberate mistake: There are no yellow/amber lights as Patrick drives Sam and Charlie through the tunnel. Yellow/amber lights are present as soon as drivers enter the tunnel - a warning to slow down, as well as help drivers' eyes to adjust to the light level inside. I presume it was better to have all white lights while filming (and traffic was controlled). (00:27:33)
Deliberate mistake: When Howard is being sucked out of his planet by the laser beam the couch ignites but he doesn't.
Deliberate mistake: "Mama's Home Cooking" - a wood frame building in 1850 - was on fire in multiple spots (though not yet engulfed). The townsfolk lined up to pass a bucket of water to douse the flames, which would be futile given how involved the fires were, but they were able to extinguish the fires and the wood frame building was largely intact and the boards did not look charred. The building should have been smoldering hot for some time, but Angel was able to sift through the rubble to salvage some items. (01:45:58 - 01:46:56)
Deliberate mistake: Near the end of the movie, in the Yankee Stadium scene, Adam Sandler sneaks onto the field. He then assaults a police officer and announcer who try to stop him. Rudolph Giuliani condones, even encourages Sandler's behavior. Giuliani acted entirely out of character, as he has an extensive history of being staunchly anti-petty crime and pro-police officer. (01:27:15)
Deliberate mistake: At Lois' penthouse, before Superman says goodbye, the image is sharp and clear. Cuts to a close-up, and then check the next wide angle where he says goodnight and flies away: It's blurry and grainy because it's not live, but a screen with a previously shot scene to allow for the camera to turn left and, in a matter of seconds, no cuts at all, show Superman magically and quickly transformed into Clark Kent.
Deliberate mistake: When Sook-Hee is first shown her bed chamber, just after Sasaki leaves, she slides open the door to Hideko's room to look inside. After a 5-6 second silence, a thump sound is heard and Sook-Hee quickly closes the door. Later in the movie, when this same scene is shown a second time from Hideko's perspective, the thump sound, which is revealed to be Hideko banging her doll against the wall, occurs 11-12 seconds after Sook-Hee slides the door open. (00:06:38 - 01:32:33)
Deliberate mistake: How does Lisa appear resplendent in that perfectly smooth wrinkle-free negligee when we saw it earlier all stuffed into her overnight bag?
Deliberate mistake: The angle of the light coming from the film projector (which was up high on the back wall) was too high to actually project onto the screen across the room. Also, people were standing in front of the screen and should have been blocking part of the projection and have light on their backs but did not. The screen operated more like a DVD player on a TV. (00:35:20)
Deliberate mistake: When young Odette is sliding down the banister, and gets stuck spinning around the end of it, it would be impossible to spin like that without her legs hitting the rail that she just slid down.
Deliberate mistake: Wyatt is killed in a park next to El Prado museum (which can be seen in the background). Then S and McQuarry cross the street and appear next to where the bank was. This speeds the pace of the movie, but truth is that the building of the bank and El Prado are 20 minutes walking distance away from each other.
Deliberate mistake: During the song Adelaide's Lament, Adelaide goes to her medicine cabinet, opens it, and there is a cut to a shot from "inside" the cabinet as she surveys all the medicine she takes to treat her "cold." From the inside, the cabinet is almost twice as wide as it is when it shows her open and later close it from the outside.
Deliberate mistake: When Sarah steps off the escalator and is slammed by the luggage cart, she topples to the floor. It is very obvious that it's not Brittany Murphy taking that fall. (00:01:40)
Deliberate mistake: When Janine smashes the mirror she takes it directly off the wall and raises it above her head, and the reflective side would be facing behind her. The camera immediately cuts to a front view as she's throwing it down and the reflective side is in front. This was probably done for dramatic effect so that the reflective side would hit the ground first.
Deliberate mistake: Before Blanche's birthday dinner, she comes out of the bathroom with her wet hair up in a towel and asks Stella for another towel saying she's just washed it. Moments later she emerges from the bathroom with completely dry and styled hair that would have taken hours to do during that time period.
Deliberate mistake: When the Darlings discover the dead rat, they raise the curtain and cry out loud, but the rat is nowhere to be seen. Given Disney's long time history of refusals to show dead bodies or blood, it's highly possible that this was a deliberate mistake, but really awkward indeed.
Deliberate mistake: When Prince Henry was sitting on the porch, there was snow accumulated all along the inner side of the railing - but the attached perpendicular boards (about 4" high) on the outside should have blocked snow, or that amount of snow, from accumulating there. (00:42:30)
Deliberate mistake: The movie is set in the late 50s, but Howard Hughes is dealing with his plane crash and the senate hearing about the H-4 Hercules prototype. Those are events from over a decade earlier. However, it should be noted that the initial disclaimer of the movie is "Names and dates have been changed."
Deliberate mistake: When Matt is spying through the telescope on Casey's argument with her parents, you can hear Casey yelling "No no no" and hear her bedroom door slam, etc. This is all from Matt's point of view from the telescope - it would have been impossible for him to hear any of that, being such a far distance all the way across the lake.
Deliberate mistake: In the beginning Chris and Jaime are on the bed talking and she is excited about graduating she is wearing a mini dress. In the shot where she falls face down in his lap and her dress goes up, she's wearing black tights underneath her dress, which are not there in any other shot.
Deliberate mistake: When Humbert shouts Quilty's name when he is in his mansion, a bottle can be seen rolling off a chair covered in a sheet in the background. It is then revealed that Quilty was sitting on the chair, with the sheet covered over him, and the bottle was placed on top of his head, over the sheet. It is also shown that him waking up was what caused the bottle to roll off the chair. The bottle's position on the chair before Quilty awoke could not have been possible. Even if Quilty was able to place the sheet over him before passing out, he could not have been able to place the bottle over his head and he could not have been able to balance the bottle over his head whilst he was asleep unless he remained completely still all throughout his sleep. This was likely done deliberately as a way of letting Humbert and the audience know where Quilty was, but still make little sense in the context of the movie. (00:03:25)
