Other mistake: An old woman in a dress shop peeps out to see all the cameras in front of her store before the Beatles run by on their way back to the studio. (01:13:40)
Continuity mistake: Upon their return the TV producer says to The Beatles, " You don't know what this means to me, if you hadn't come back it would have meant The Epilogue or News in Welsh" as they get ready for the show. Norm is standing behind the producer but then in the next shot as he talks to him he's on his right. (01:14:00)
Continuity mistake: When John says to Paul's grandfather, "Ya see you know what your trouble is, you should have gone West to America," they're standing about six feet apart, but in the next shot John has his arm on his shoulder. (01:14:30)
Continuity mistake: When they sing "Tell Me Why" for the TV show there's a shot taken from behind The Beatles. Here as John sings, "Well I'm beggin' on my bended knees" the microphone that was in front of him has now been moved and is facing Ringo. Later in the scene you can see that there are only two microphones on the stage here, one for Paul and George and one for John. (01:16:25 - 01:18:45)
Visible crew/equipment: In their final performance look closely and you can see director Richard Lester moving through the shot. He's between the Beatles and the audience. (01:16:30)
Visible crew/equipment: In their final performance Richard Lester's shadow is seen going across John Lennon's back as he walks from the back of the stage to the spot where we see him between The Beatles and the audience. (01:16:30)
Factual error: They're meant to be taping a TV show, but some of the cameras were motion picture cameras used for shooting the movie, rather than TV cameras. (01:16:45)
Audio problem: When they sing "I Should Have Known Better" for the TV show there's a shot of John playing his harmonica just before he sings, "Wo oo oo I" and the harmonica is still in his mouth as we hear him sing the beginning of the verse. (01:19:05)
Continuity mistake: When John sings "I Should Have Known Better" there's an extreme close-up of his face as he sings, "That when I tell you that I love you, oh " and he's obviously sweating. In the next shot they show a close-up of his face on the control room monitor and there isn't a drop of sweat on him. (01:20:50)
Continuity mistake: At the end of "I Should Have Known Better" there's a lone drumstick that appears wedged into a tuning key on the front of Ringo's bass drum that wasn't there in previous shots. (01:21:10)
Continuity mistake: At the very end of "I Should Have Known Better" all The Beatles' microphones have been removed from in front of them. (01:21:15)
Continuity mistake: In several shots of the audience, girls can be seen sitting in seats, then several shots later they've moved and can be seen leaning over the balcony. (01:21:55 - 01:22:50)
Continuity mistake: In final performance sequence watch for Ringo's mysterious moving bongo drums. They're on his right and disappear, then reappear, disappear and then reappear several times. (01:22:45 - 01:24:05)
Audio problem: During the show George stops playing as he yanks Paul's grandfather off the stage but we still hear his lead guitar riff in "She Loves You". (01:23:20)
Continuity mistake: The opening for the elevator where Paul's grandfather pops up through the stage floor disappears between shots at the end of "She Loves You". (01:24:05)
Continuity mistake: After "She Loves You" they bow and the sign behind them is lit up and says "Beatles". The editor made a mistake here and inserted a shot from earlier in the movie with the stage background from the song "Tell Me Why". (01:24:25)
Continuity mistake: After the show, Norm tells The Beatles to get ready to leave for a midnight matinee later that night and the clock on the wall reads 9:10 PM. It's well after dark but in the next shot as they board the helicopter for the next show it's midday. (01:24:40)
Continuity mistake: There is a scene in the movie where the Beatles enter a limousine, I believe at the beginning of the movie. In this particular scene the Beatles are all dressed in suits and ties, but when the Beatles are filmed in the limo, John Lennon is wearing a turtle neck sweater beneath a blazer.
Other mistake: When Ringo and the young boy with the tire walk along the path together and the boy asks Ringo, "Why aren't you at work?," you can see Ringo mouthing the line along with him.
Continuity mistake: When the boys sneak off to the nightclub, the clothes they are wearing when they leave the hotel are different from those that they are wearing for the remainder of the night.
