Other mistake: When Chris sees Mrs. Doubtfire in the bathroom she is standing up and peeing, in costume. All the scenes where Daniel is putting the costume on shows that the fat suit is a body suit, in one piece, and there's no opening in the front. So he shouldn't have been able to pee without taking off the whole suit. (01:04:00)
Other mistake: At the start of the film we see Gloria Chaney, the Hillards' neighbour, drop a rabbit at her feet and then shout 'shoo' at it whilst pushing it with a brush. If she had it in her hands, why didn't she just drop it outside of her garden, instead of at her feet, making her have to push it to get it out of her garden? (00:05:30)
Continuity mistake: When Mrs Doubtfire is pouring the cayenne pepper into Stu's dish of jambalaya, you can see that the container has nothing on the side, but when Mrs Doubtfire has finished, a label has suddenly appeared. (01:37:50)
Continuity mistake: Mrs. Stelner visits Mrs. Doubtfire's apartment. She is in front of a mirror and there are three separate pictures of the three children in a triangular position with Lydia at top left, Natalie below her and Chris to their right. Later on in the scene after Mrs. Doubtfire watches her mask get flattened by a truck, Mrs. Steiner is still standing by the mirror. Natalie's pic has been repositioned on top of Lydia's pic, so they are now reversed. The framed picture is also moved. (00:47:00)
Continuity mistake: When Daniel (dressed as Mrs Doubtfire) is at the pool bar drinking, the bartender is wearing a black suit jacket. In the next scene, he is wearing a white suit jacket. (01:17:15)
Suggested correction: The barman has a white jacket on all the time Mrs Doubtfire is there.
Revealing mistake: When we see Daniel look at the paper and get the name Doubtfire, the actual article is not related to the headline. The article is about public hearings on applications being once every six months. The headline is about an arson attack. (00:31:40)
Other mistake: The newspaper article Daniel reads (to pick the name Doubtfire) does not have a date on it.
Continuity mistake: The cream on Mrs Doubtfire's face is constantly changing between shots. Note the patterns and drips. (00:48:20)
Continuity mistake: When Miranda is introduced to Stu, the foam mustache on her lip differs between shots. (00:21:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When Daniel is having a spaghetti dinner with Chris, Lydia and Natalie in his flat, you can see the equipment crew reflected in the picture frame before we see the family eating. (00:25:30)
Continuity mistake: When Daniel/Mrs Doubtfire goes to the bathroom after his false teeth fell out in his wine glass, you can see he is holding the teeth before entering, but when he is in the bathroom, the teeth have disappeared. (01:33:20)
Continuity mistake: When he's in the empty studio playing with the dinosaurs there is a picture of a spider on the wall behind him that keeps moving. (01:20:15)
Continuity mistake: In the restaurant scene, just after Miranda takes Natalie to the bathroom, Chris begins to open his menu just a crack, then Mrs. Doubtfire starts talking. The camera cuts to a closer shot, and the menu is suddenly all the way open. (01:33:00)
Visible crew/equipment: When Miranda walks into the house at the start, a light screen is reflected in her glasses. (00:08:00)
Other mistake: In the Bridges restaurant scene when Mrs. Doubtfire enters the ladies room stall to change into Daniel, you hear a loud rip and Mrs. Doubtfire screams "damnit!" - however, when we see Daniel and Mrs. Doubtfire throughout the rest of the restaurant scene, neither of their clothes are ripped anywhere.
Factual error: The piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori in the year 1720, in the 18th century. Miranda recommends a "17th-century grand piano" for Stuart's bed-and-breakfast inn.
Suggested correction: Could this perhaps be more of a character mistake Miranda made that there's reason to believe her character wouldn't make? A lot of people out there confuse centuries and think the 1700s is the 17th century, but if there's a good point that Miranda, as a character, shouldn't have made this mistake, this would still be a character mistake as it shouldn't have been written that way for her in that case.
