Let Him Have It picture

Factual error: Pierrepoint is depicted as having a London accent. In real life, however, he was from the north of England, and had a Yorkshire accent, which sounds completely different. This is proved in a BBC interview with him, dating from the 1970s.

Night on Earth picture

Continuity mistake: The part where Corky drives Victoria through LA must have been composed from two takes, one where Corky has more rouge on her cheeks and only a small streak of dirt on her cheek (from an earlier car repair), and another one with almost no make up and an oil streak that goes from her ear to her nose.

Regarding Henry picture

Revealing mistake: When Henry is out on the balcony and Sara comes out carrying a bottle of beer, Henry is leaning with his elbows resting on a ledge. It can be seen that there is some kind of pad or cushion on there because you can see it give when he moves. When they sit the beer bottle down on there the sound effects of one touching stone or concrete can be heard. That should not be heard if the bottle touches the pad or cushion that is on there.

Barton Fink picture

Continuity mistake: When Barton is talking to the film maker about writing the film the film maker has on a military uniform. As the scenes go back and forth between him and Barton the military ribbons come undone on one side and then miraculously return to normal.

Dying Young picture

Continuity mistake: There is a long sequence where the guy is talking to J. Roberts - I think its when they are at a beach house or cabin. The shots switch from him to her, in tight shots on their face. Watch him and you'll see his sideburns change lengths right before your eyes.

Sangatsu no raion picture

Continuity mistake: In the first meeting with the man with the hat, Ice puts one foot on the portable cooler, but the position of the foot on the floor changes when there's a cut. Even more obvious, when she steps in front of him, the tip of her red stilettos touch his feet, but at the cut their tips are distant, and she moves in with her right foot first, as opposed as before. (00:09:15)
