Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
1 factual error
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Starring: Doug Jones, Maribel Verdu, Sergi Lopez, Ivana Baquero, Ariadna Gil
Continuity mistake: When Mercedes flees through the forest to escape the soldiers, the blood pattern, thickness and color of blood on her face changes between shots. (01:33:00 - 01:35:30)
Capitán Vidal: Tell my son the time that his father died. Tell him.
Mercedes: No. He won't even know your name.
Trivia: In a recent interview del Toro said that he tried to create subtle parallels between the "real world" and the fantasy world. One example of this is in the scene where Captain Vidal's dinner guests arrive in the rainstorm; the umbrellas they use are very similar to the heaving black flesh of the Giant Toad.

Answer: I saw nothing in the movie indicating that. Ofelia's task seemed to be to retrieve the blade, she failed because she didn't follow Pan's instructions about not touching the food.
