Continuity mistake: When Carrie and Tommy have just been named queen and king, during their walk though the crowd they pass P.J. Soles character, wearing her red hat. In the immediate next shot, you don't see her character or anyone with a red hat.

Carrie: It gives me pimples, Mama.
Margaret White: Pimples are the Lord's way of chastising you.
