Twilight

Corrected entry: When James is tracking Bella, Edward tells Rosalie to rub the tree with Bella's coat. But then when Edward says, 'He's figured it out', Rosalie does not have Bella's coat on.

Correction: They had been running for quite a while by the time Edward knows James has figured out their diversion -- plenty of time for Rosalie to remove the jacket, which she was carrying at that point.

Brenda Elzin

Corrected entry: In the first diner scene, Bella gets the ketchup for her burger but doesn't put any on.

Correction: She tries, but the squeeze bottle was empty. Which is why Charlie didn't reach for it after she put it down, even though they both wanted ketchup.

Phixius

Corrected entry: When Edward pushes James into the mirrors, James doesn't have blood on the right side of his lower lip. But when Edward bites him, the blood is there. That can't be right, because vampires can't bleed.

Correction: It's never stated in the film that vampires don't bleed, so this isn't a mistake.

Phixius

Corrected entry: When Bella comes downstairs to leave Charlie's house for the prom, her dress is a light purple, but once inside the prom her dress is suddenly a teal blue color.

Correction: It's the same dress, and in the DVD commentary, the actors also mention how the color looks different. Colors change with various lighting effects (indoor or outdoor) and different types of film may have been used for shooting the interior and exterior shots, which causes subtle color changes. These are not mistakes, just the by-product of filmmaking.

Corrected entry: When Edward is telling Bella about his family, it's raining, they are under a tree and he's wet. But then they aren't under the tree anymore and he is dry.

Correction: This isn't a mistake because this scene is actually taking place over a few days. If you look again you will see that their clothes also change giving the indication that it is taking place at different times.

Corrected entry: When Edward drives Bella to school, she looks out the window and it is dark and rainy, but when they arrive at school it is a lot lighter and Edward comes out of the Volvo wearing sunglasses, stating that it is a sunny day. But this could not be possible: Edward should be sparkling.

Correction: School starts in the morning, while the sun is still rising during part of the school year. So it makes sense that it got lighter. Edward never says it's a sunny day, he's just wearing glasses. And there's no reason he shouldn't.

Phixius

Corrected entry: After they leave Edwards house through his bedroom window and Edward asks Bells "Do you trust me", Bella's shoes and pants are muddy. They weren't muddy when they were in his bedroom.

Correction: I'd think that since they have climbed the tree and jumped out of the window at this point - on what is likely a rainy/muddy day - that her pants and shoes would definitely be muddy by the time he asks her, "Do you trust me?"

Corrected entry: In both the scenes where Edward, and the rest of the Cullen teens are sitting at the school's cafeteria, you can see them with hot dogs, salads, apples and other snacks. This contradicts the scene where Bella arrives at the Cullen's home for dinner, and it is revealed that the Cullen family never eats and is cooking for the first time. They eat stuff other than animals they hunt.

Correction: When Bella visits their home it is revealed only that they've never used their own kitchen before. It would be rather suspicious if the Cullens didn't at least keep up appearances during lunchtime.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In scene where Bella and Charlie are in the restaurant, Bella and Charlie reach for the ketchup together. Charlie lets Bella get it, but none comes out.

Correction: So it was empty, and Bella gave up on it. You'll notice Charlie does not reach for it after Bella puts it down even though he wanted some; he knows now that there's none to be had in that bottle.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In the scene where Edward throws down food, in the background Emmett is eating something, and in the book vampires don't eat human food.

Correction: Discrepancies between the movie and its source material aren't movie mistakes. And within the film, it's explained that while it's true the Cullens don't eat human food, they do so in order to avoid raising suspicion about themselves.

Cubs Fan

Corrected entry: When Jacob comes to the beach and sees Bella he is apparently with Quil and Embry. But in the credits, there is no Embry Call. There is a Sam Uley, but that makes no sense, since Jacob doesn't hang out will Sam till New Moon (2nd book) because he thinks he is bad.

Correction: First, movie and book discrepancies are not movie mistakes. Second, the character is clearly Sam, with or without the credit, as noted by his tone when speaking of the Cullens. None of the other boys in the tribe believed enough in the stories to have that level of dislike toward the Edward and the others. Finally, Sam did not begin acting strangely and therefore gaining Jacob's dislike until the events of New Moon, so there's no reason at this point in the story for Jacob, Quil, and Sam not to be hanging out together.

Phixius

Corrected entry: This happens during the vampire baseball scene, when Jasper is up to bat. While Alice is winding up to throw the ball, you can see Carlisle running off of second base. However, after Jasper swings, Carlisle is running off of second base again. (01:20:45)

Correction: A player on first may choose to begin running to second before the pitcher has actually pitched, decide they've left too early (giving the pitcher time to throw the ball to the first basemen instead of the catcher getting said player out), and therefore choose to return to first, only to begin their run to second again once they deem the time right. This is the scenario Carlisle found himself in.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bella and Edward are lying in the meadow, there is a shot that shows the angle of Edward's neck. In that shot his heart beat is visible in his jugular vein.

Correction: In the context of the movie itself, we are told nothing about vampire anatomy. There is nothing to indicate that they do not have beating hearts or veins. While the movie is based on the book it does not have to follow every detail and since it is not mentioned within the film it doesn't really qualify.

Corrected entry: In the lunchroom scene, after Edwards flips the apple back up at Bella, you can see he is sweating (under his arms) and yet they stated before that his skin is ice cold.

Correction: Liquid on the skin is not the same as heat. We are told nothing about vampire anatomy or physiology. They may have a sweating mechanism different than ours.

Corrected entry: The physical layout of Bella's bedroom does not match the outside of the house. The bath is to the right of Bella's bedroom, the bath window should be on the same linear wall as the large double window in the front of the house. There is (of course) no small bathroom window on the front of the house.

Correction: Bella's bedroom is on the back side of the house. You never get to see this side from outside. That's why you also don't see the bathroom window.

Corrected entry: While Bella (Kristen Stewart) is in the hospital near the end of the movie, her eyes are green, her natural color, but during the rest of the movie, they are brown.

Correction: No, Bella's eyes are VERY brown in the hospital.

Corrected entry: As Bella and Edward arrive to the baseball field, they pull up in the SUV, then walk along what seems to be a river's edge, with a tall waterfall in the background. You never see the waterfall during the baseball game, and when they leave the field and walk to the SUV, the SUV is parked practically on the field, a few steps away from where they are standing.

Correction: Just after Alice says "it's time" and Rosalie is getting ready to pitch, you can see the waterfall right behind Bella's right shoulder.

Corrected entry: When Bella walks right past Edward into the forest, just before she tells him that she knows what he is, she is wearing a bright red backpack, but in the forest she is not.

Correction: Just as they pass that huge tree and Bella stops, you can see her take her backpack off and throw it on the ground. That's why she's not wearing it later.

Corrected entry: When Mike turns around after Bella hits him with the volleyball, you can obviously see it is a different actor and he has black hair. Then they switch the shot onto Bella and when it comes back it's the real actor who plays Mike with dirty blond hair.

Correction: That is definitely the same actor. What you see is the 're-growth' as you can still see bits of blond at the ends. When he turns around you can see re-growth as well, but not as much of it. The lighting toys a bit with his hair colour in the two shots as well.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bella is just coming home after the baseball game, when she goes into her room you can see Edward standing against the wall right next to the door. Charlie being right behind Bella would be able to see him.

Correction: Bella is blocking Charlie's view of the room.

More trivia for Twilight

Question: When they are in the garage, before they split up to throw off James, Edward tells Alice to "Please keep your thoughts to yourself". I've read the book and I'm pretty sure it explains this but I can't remember. What is Alice thinking?

Answer: Alice can see the future (She can not read minds, thoughts and intentions). She has foreseen that Bella will become a vampire and Edward does not want her to tell Bella that.

Jazaray

Answer: If Alice tells Bella that she will be a vampire she will be scared and shocked.

Bella wouldn't be shocked or scared by knowing that. Bella wants to become a vampire. Edward does not wish this for her, believing it is a cursed life. If Alice tells Bella that she foresees her becoming a vampire, Edward knows this will only encourage Bella to pressure him to change her.

Answer: I thought Alice was thinking about how tasty Bella smells because they had to wear her belongings to confuse Victoria and lead her off Bella's actual scent. If not please do reply as I am curious about this.
