Fletch

Continuity mistake: When Fletch and Stanwyk first meet and Stanwyk asks Fletch to come to his home and hear his proposal, Stanwyk is wearing a suit/tie on top but is wearing jeans on the bottom.

When he is talking to her he has a stethoscope in his ears, but when the camera moves behind him they are suddenly round his neck. Moments later they are back in his ears. (00:18:10)

Continuity mistake: During the scene where the cops grab Gummy under the boardwalk, the left passenger window of the cop car is rolled up as they open the door. After they put Gummy in the car, close the door and drive off, the left passenger window is still rolled up. Fletch grabs a rock and throws it at the cop car. Look closely at the shot where the rear window shatters - the left passenger window is now rolled down. (00:34:15)
