Peter Pan

Revealing mistake: Wendy duels with Cookson, the tall pirate, at the Black Castle and slices his cheek in a close-up. The cut is actually on his cheek before the sword even touches him, though it wasn't there in earlier shots. (00:48:55)

Super Grover

Visible crew/equipment: At the Black Castle, Wendy, John, Michael and Tiger Lily jump down into Smee's boat. In the wide shot as they land in the boat, seen under John's gown at his backside is an outline of the square apparatus and Wendy's nightgown is gathered up and pulled at her back from the line that is attached for her descent. (00:49:50)

Super Grover

Audio problem: When trapped underwater in the net at the Black Castle, Peter pulls out his knife from his small leather sheath underwater and we hear a metallic rasping sound which it should not make since it isn't scraping metal. (00:49:55)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: At the Black Castle, Hook slams Peter down on a rock, leans over him and proceeds to cut Peter's chest with the tip of his hook. Before the hook touches Peter's skin, we see a mark on Peter's skin where the hook is to begin its slicing, that was not there before. Then as the tip actually slices him there is no cut or blood seen, it obviously does not have any effect on Peter's skin. (00:50:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Hook slices Peter at the Black Castle, we see very that Hook cuts Peter directly below the jugular notch at the neck. Yet in the following shots the cut is shown to be far below the original cut made nor does it have the same appearance within those shots as well. (00:50:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: In the Black Castle, when the croc appears outside the gate on the rock, we see in the left corner of the screen the children in the boat with Wendy standing up, next shot is of them all jumping to the side of the boat looking out over the water to the croc, the very next instance, when the croc is climbing down off the rock, the children are now back in their original positions again in the boat. (00:51:00)

BarrysBaby

Continuity mistake: The long cut on Peter's upper arm changes length, position and even its angle in quite a few shots when it is visible, in the Black Castle, followed by Peter and Wendy at the fairy dance and then after their own dance. (00:52:50 - 00:56:45)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: Peter has a cut on his left arm and after dancing with Wendy Peter shouts, "Go home and grow up... take your feelings with you!" then Peter flies off. As the narrator says, "Peter did not want Wendy to leave...he visited Wendy's home..." when Peter arrives at the nursery window, the long cut on Peter's left arm is GONE, not changed in any way, just simply gone. It reappears later when Hook shouts, "It's Hook! He flies!" only to disappear again! (00:56:50 - 00:58:10)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: In Hook's stateroom, he speaks with Wendy, dries her tears and moves some of her hair behind her shoulder. Her hair changes position in the following shots. Throughout the film Wendy's long hair changes position in many consecutive shots. (01:02:10)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Peter flies in and tells everyone of the new pirate Red Handed Jill and as he says, "She's just a storyteller," the small piece of watermelon, that looks as if it's been hacked already, is visible on the table. Then when he says, "I shall run her through!" he slams his blade into a large wedge of watermelon - its shape is very different (before the blade hits it of course). Other food on the table differs in consecutive shots within this scene as well. (01:04:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Wendy admits to being Red Handed Jill, Peter walks towards her and begins to overwhelm Wendy with his blade and knocks her sword out of her hand. In the first couple of shots facing John, Michael and Lost Boys, they are positioned a certain way. Yet when Peter's blade is at Wendy's throat the boys are positioned very differently. (01:05:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Wendy admits to being Red Handed Jill, Peter holds his blade to Wendy's throat. In the first close-up Peter grasps the hilt so the sharp curved edge of the blade points towards the knuckles of his fingers. In the second close-up his hand grasps the hilt so that the sharp edge points towards the palm of his hand. (This has nothing to do with how his wrist is turned.) (01:05:30)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When John realizes that he has forgotten his parents and that they must leave, Peter shouts, "If you wish it!" The positions of some of the kids differ in the front shots and back shot. (01:06:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Wendy sees John, Michael and the Lost Boys tied up she gasps in a wide shot, in which the pirates are spread out all around. A pirate puts a gag at her mouth and in the next close-up three pirates gather just behind the kneeling boys as Hook walks by to talk to Wendy with other pirates gathered round. In the next wide shot there are no pirates directly behind the boys and everyone is positioned the same way as the previous wide shot, those three specific pirates are in three different areas. Other pirates are in completely different spots as well between the close-up and following wide shot. (01:10:00)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: Just outside the hideout's tree entrance, the pirates carry Wendy, her brothers and the Lost Boys away. When Michael is thrown over a pirate's shoulders, Freddie Popplewell's (Michael) spandex shorts are perfectly visible. (01:10:20)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Hook sneaks into Peter's hideout while Peter sleeps in order to kill him. In the first close-up Hook tries to reach Peter, who's lying down, as Peter mumbles in his sleep. In Peter's second close-up he is in a completely different position as the poison drops into the water. As he wakes with a start in his third close-up, Peter is lying in the same position as the first close-up. (01:10:45)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Tink flies into the nursery she zooms to the bookcase, knocks down the books, one by one, from the top shelf and the last thing to fall is the statue bookend. In the next close-up the Indian bookend lands last, but it's not the same one that fell in the previous shot. (01:12:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: As Peter and everyone sing, "I do believe in fairies. I do! I do!" he lifts Tink off the ground in the palms of his hands. In the close-up of Tink, Peter's hands are muddy and dirty, yet, in the next shot of Peter they are perfectly clean and so forth. (01:16:50)

Super Grover

Audio problem: Wendy is tied to the mast on the Jolly Roger when Hook forces her to tell a story. In the wide shot, the pirates start to find seats and Hook has his hand at Wendy's throat as we hear her begin, "There was a boy named Peter Pan," yet her mouth does not move. She continues to say off camera, "who decided not to grow up," and in the next shot Hook gets angry and tells her to skip the prologue. (01:18:00)

Super Grover

[Wendy arrives at the house.]
Peter: Welcome, mother! Discipline, that's what fathers believe in. We must spank the children immediately before they try to kill you again. In fact we should kill them.
[Yells and runs after the Lost Boys who scream and hide. Wendy stands between Peter and the Lost Boys.]
Wendy: Father! I agree that they are perfectly horrid but kill them and they'll think themselves important.
Lost Boys: So important!
Curly: And unique!
Wendy: I suggest something far more dreadful. Medicine! It's the most beastly, disgusting stuff, the sticky, sweet kind.
Lost Boys: Kill us! Please Peter!

Trivia: The same actor did the voices for Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in the original Disney movie. This was also the same in plays, as Mr. Darling and Hook were always played by the same actor. This movie follows along with that because Jason Isaacs played both Mr. Darling and Captain Hook.
