A Nightmare on Elm Street picture

Continuity mistake: There is a scene at the school, where Quentin and Nancy are talking by the lockers. Quentin is wearing a Joy Division shirt. The jacket he is wearing over the shirt keeps changing depending on whether it's a closeup of Quentin or a shot of both him and Nancy. You can easily tell, as the band's name is partially obscured during closeup and fully revealed when it's further away. This changes back and forth several times during that scene. Quentin doesn't move enough to warrant the jacket changing so noticeably. (00:18:15)

Continuity mistake: Nicole is sitting in a club with Irene's men at a table. The shot changes from a close up of her and the men, to a close up of Milo (with Nicole and the men in the background). After Nicole is finished talking to Milo on the phone you can see her hang up the phone in the background when the camera is on Milo and then she hangs it up again when the shot goes back to her.

A minute later when he's lowered again into the tank, there's a large chuck by his hip but vanishes when the shot switches showing Lawrence's left side. (01:07:45)

When in Rome picture

Continuity mistake: When Beth is chasing after a poker chip, she ditches her high heels to run faster, after passing by some statues. However, this is shown to happen in front of a car art piece. The art piece is above the statues, so she couldn't have ditched her pumps in the way shown in the film. You can even see her discarded heels in an aerial shot by the car, and above the statues. Most likely, they shot a scene where she kept her heels on while running, and another where she tossed them off, and combined it. (01:15:21 - 01:15:42)

In this close-up, the pig teddy's legs are now facing the opposite direction. (00:37:00)
