Some Like It Hot

Other mistake: In the opening chase-scene when the whisky-filled coffin is hit by bullets, whisky flows out of holes even above the liquid-level. (00:02:50)

Other mistake: In at least two scenes, when they are checking in to the hotel in Florida, and later when the "girls" are trying to escape, the "bull fiddle" is much smaller, the size of a cello instead of a bass violin.

Continuity mistake: When Tony Curtis & Marilyn are on their way to the yacht, Marilyn has what appears to be a clear 'bra-band' across the back of her gown - this band appears and disappears until they are finally settled in the room.
