Wonder Woman 1984

Continuity mistake: When Barbara and Diana first meet, the papers Barbara is holding change positions. When the co-worker comes looking for Barbara, papers are sticking out of the briefcase and then gone in other shots.

Suggested correction: It is possible for normal humans eyes to change color. Seems reasonable that an Amazonian's eye color could change.

Eye color stabilizes within three years of birth. Most often, however, in the first weeks or months of life, and only by light-eyed ones. With age, the eye only changes hue - for example, from light brown to dark brown, etc. In the film, little Diana is already too old to change the color of her eyes - it's a mistake in the film.

Diana is not human and therefore we have no idea what their bodies do. Eyes changing color could happen later on in life for them due to their slower ageing process or something. Unless it is stated in the movie that their eyes don't change (and it isn't stated)...this isn't a mistake.

Well I didn't know that.Thank you friend.

Continuity mistake: When Diana and Steve are being creeps snuggling in bed with a body that Steve hijacked, his right hand changes position on Diana between shots. For instance when he says he's never been in a room more amazing, his hand is on her shoulder, but it's on top of her head in the reverse shot. (00:52:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In a mistake endemic of dinner scenes and conversations in general, the hand position of Diana by the glass keeps changing between shot and reverse, multiple times. (00:25:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the flashback with Asteria is shown she's got hazel or green eyes. In the post credits scene when played by Lynda Carter she's got light blue eyes.

Suggested correction: It should be noted, Lynda Carter played both parts. Those are literally Lynda Carter's eyes we see in the flashback.

Bishop73

Still doesn't explain why they are green in the flashback. Lynda Carter has blue eyes. Probably caused by a color filter.

It could be a lighting issue or the way the armor made her eyes look different, but it's not a mistake since it's the same color eyes. (There are optical illusions that make some people see one color as two different colors based on the surrounding color).

Bishop73

Continuity mistake: When young whiny Diana is being consoled by her mum, Connie Nielsen has the thumb on the top of Diana's shoulder either through hair or free from it, depending on the shot. (00:10:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Diana refuses his wish, her wounds understandably heal themselves as her powers return, but the blood on her shoulder and chest also disappears.

Continuity mistake: When Max calls himself "a pretty messed up loser-guy", his hand is on his son's chest, then under the armpit at the cut. (02:21:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Wonder Woman loses the grip on her lasso of truth when she Tarzans her way towards the kids, but the moment she turtles up in front of the incoming escort vehicles the lasso is there on her belt. (01:25:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the battle feat when she pushed a truck for hundreds of meters at cruise speed shielding herself from bullets, Wonder Woman hides with her back to another truck bed. Gal Gadot's hair is across her face, or not, depending on the shot. (01:22:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Barbara kicks the Dangerous Drunk one last time, and we see him fall with the feet next to the curb of the sidewalk. The man is still conscious and tries to move, seemingly to crawl forward, but we do not see him even budge, and when Leon the cultured hobo arrives mere seconds later the guy is unconscious and can't even move, but he's in the middle of the road now. (01:16:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Diana asks what could be imbued into the stone; Steve is trying to guess and goes "I don't know, hmm." The ring with the Gods' writing is in a different spot of the table compared to other shots (for instance, there's a page in between the jewelry and the other pointed dark item on the desk, absent in other shots). (01:05:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Diana is looking at Steve's amazed face reacting to the subway train. In the wide shot she has her hands on her hips initially, but before the cut she brings the arms fully down her sides. However, in the next shot she is again looking at him in the initial pose. (00:58:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Steve gets a leaflet from the astronaut and approaches the stairs by the Jupiter-C model. When he coos in the next shot on top of the stairs, the people on the floor changed from the previous. (00:59:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Throughout the whole scene where she first interacts with Diana, Barbara's briefcase changes orientation in the closer shots on Kristen Wiig. For instance when she gets all giddy about the FBI involvement and asks "They're coming here?" the clasp on the suitcase is to the left (towards her hands), but then she replies "My help?" and the metal parts are exactly in the opposite direction. (00:21:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The criminal is holding the kid hostage dangling her outside the platform. His partners in crime try to talk him down; the curly haired guy with the sage jacket is waving with one arm, then the other; the bag switches hands. (00:14:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Max's secretary tells him that the Wall Street Journal wants to interview him; she holds the phone with the right hand on the microphone and the left hand above it, but she's waving the phone in her right in the next shot, the left hand being on the cable, several centimeters below. (01:00:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Diana picks up the receipt at the bottom of the artefact's box, the slip changes position between her hands between shots, and she is holding it with just the left hand in close-up, with both in the wider angle. (00:40:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the riots, Diana and Steve say goodbye to each other. She holds his face (imaginary one as it is) between her palms; he mentions "This crazy new world" and Gal Gadot's thumbs are on his cheeks, but immediately behind his ears in the reverse shot. (01:57:10)

Sammo

Factual error: The video games Operation Wolf and Rampage were visible in the Family Amusement Center arcade during the opening. However, this would not be possible during the movie's 1984 setting since Rampage wasn't released until 1986 and Operation Wolf wasn't released until 1987. (00:12:48)

Trivia: At one point during the movie Wonder Woman uses her lasso to move around by riding the lightning. This is a reference to the Metallica album "Ride the lightning" which came out in 1984. (02:04:00)

More trivia for Wonder Woman 1984

Question: What was the point of having Steve take over the other man's body instead of just returning from the dead in his own body? Unless I'm forgetting something, the ramifications and ethics of him taking over his body are never explored in the film, so it has no effect on the plot, and Diana renouncing her wish would not play out any differently, because Steve goes away either way.

Phaneron

Answer: There's no definitive answer (and hopefully others will weigh in here with opinions). Diana had wistfully wished that Steve was still alive without ever knowing or intending it would happen, nor did she have control over the form it took. By happenstance, another man's body was possessed. The movie's timeframe is too short to know what ethical decisions would eventually have been made over Steve's soul inhabiting another body, though he does mention the moral dilemma it poses. After a reasonable amount of time, they would have to decide if Steve should continue in a co-opted body. Character-wise, it shows Diana's anguish over losing Steve yet again in order to defeat Cheetah. Steve's soul being brought back may foreshadow his resurrection in another way in the next film. Chris Pine (Steve) is reportedly returning for Wonder Woman 3.

Answer: I don't think writer Patti Jenkins is familiar with the Wonder Woman comics in so much detail that she was actually trying to pay homage to previous Steve Trevor story lines or hint at what's truly happening, but maybe. Steve Trevor has died and come back to life before in the comics. He's never possessed the body of another person, but once a brainwashed Eros possessed his body and once when Trevor came back to life, he dyed his hair black and went as Steve Howard. It does seem like Jenkins left things vague to bring up later, like with Cheetah.
