Corrected entry: When Nausicaä is being held in the Pejite brig, and Lastel's mother and another girl come to free her, the girl who exchanges outfits with her gives her a red dress to wear. She's seen wearing this red dress until she encounters the baby ohmu later. She looks out and sees the stampeding ohmu while wearing the red dress, and ten seconds later when she's trying to prevent the baby from going into the lake she's suddenly wearing a blue dress, and it remains blue for the rest of the film. (01:25:05 - 01:43:05)

1 corrected entry
Directed by: Hayao Miyazaki
Starring: Sumi Shimamoto, Goro Naya, Hisako Kyoda, Mahito Tsujimura
Deliberate mistake: In the end sequence, when the joyous Valley of the Wind people run past Yuppa and the old woman to welcome back Nausicaä among the living, the same group(s) of people are seen twice running from the right to the left.
Commando: That's Lord Yupa. Kill him and you'll be famous.
Trivia: Nausicaä's flyer, the Mehve, was the inspiration for the Japanese OpenSky Project, which intends to built a similar one-man flight device.

Correction: In the scene where Nausicaa is saving the baby ohmu, she becomes covered in ohmu blood which is blue. She needs to be wearing blue in order for the prophesy to be fulfilled. That is why her tunic goes from red to blue.
