When Harry Met Sally

Revealing mistake: Look at Harry and Sally carrying the Christmas tree together. Then jump towards the end of the movie when Sally is dragging on her own a tree for the next holidays. Each garland and even the fake snow covers on the sills are the exact same one year later, down to each crease. At least the vendor changed jackets. (00:48:35 - 01:21:50)

Revealing mistake: In the scene where they have just had sex, Meg goes to get out of the bed and is supposed to be naked, but when she puts on the bathrobe you can see she is wearing some type of slip or nylon panties. (01:11:20)

Revealing mistake: During the Lake Shore Drive scene, during the late 1970's, check the model years of the passing cars. There's at least one Ford Taurus which did not debut until the 1984 model year.

Factual error: When Harry and Sally are driving away from the University of Chicago at the start of their road trip there is a long shot of them driving on Lake Shore Drive, but they are heading south towards the city with the lake on their left. If they were leaving the city from UofC, which is in Hyde Park, they would already be driving away from the city on Lake Shore Drive. (00:05:40)

Sally Albright: At least I got the apartment.
Harry Burns: That's what everyone says. But, really, what's so hard about finding an apartment? What you do is look in the obituary section. You see who died, find out where they lived, and tip the doorman. What they could do to make it easier is combine the two. You know, Mr. Kline died yesterday, leaving behind a wife, two children, and a spacious three bedroom apartment with a wood burning fireplace.

Question: When Billy and Meg are leaving from the college campus, Meg barely talks to Amanda. They only say a quick hello. I realize Amanda is enamoured with her boyfriend, but the girls don't even act like they know each other, and when Meg drives off neither one of them say goodbye or wave goodbye, not even a smile or a look. I thought they were supposed to be friends?

Tiffany Fife

Answer: Sally could be upset for having to drive Amanda's boyfriend, or it could be awkward because they don't know how to say goodbye. There could be a number of reasons why things appear tense between Sally and Amanda, just not explained.

That was a big question mark for me as well when I watched the movie, to the point that I had to re-watch the beginning because I was sure I had missed something; their behaviour doesn't make sense.
