Little Shop of Horrors

Continuity mistake: When Seymour tries to kill the plant he pulls a gun, the gun is a six shooter, the plant grabs the gun and fires at the guy, then he fires some more, in total the plant fires 9 shots with a six shooter...

Continuity mistake: Look carefully at Rick Moranis' mouth throughout the movie- he goes from having braces on his teeth to not having them, especially in scenes where he has to sing and they would have messed up his enunciation.

Continuity mistake: In "Suppertime" (reprise) the inside of Audrey II's mouth is a vibrant purple, but during "Mean Green Mother" it is a fleshy pink.

Continuity mistake: When Audrey 2 calls Audrey (just before she gets 'eaten'), a piece of hair is in front of the phone. Then it zooms in and all her hair is behind the phone.

Continuity mistake: When Seymour is in the waiting room, holding Audrey II, the plants tongue reaches for the woman bending over and the tongue is bright yellow. At other times it is red.

Continuity mistake: When Seymour has just met Orin, DDS, when Audrey and Orin are leaving on a motorcycle, and Orin asks, "You got the handcuffs?" you can see that he would have to turn right to go down the alley, but in the next shot, he just goes straight.

Factual error: When Steve Martin dies with the mask on, the inflation bulbs (the little black bags that inflate and deflate) deflate completely. Actually they should INFLATE completely and stay that way. The gas is still on full blast and Steve is no longer inhaling (which would cause them to deflate). It was done only to emphasize Steve Martin's demise but it's factually incorrect.

Orin: I find a little giggle-gas before I begin increases my pleasure enormously.

Trivia: To make the effects of Audrey II look convincing, the animatronic was usually shot at a lower frame-rate, such as 12 frames per second, and then played back at the standard 24fps. This sped-up the shots and made the animatronic's motions look more fluid and lifelike. In order to compensate, whenever a human actor would be in-shot with Audrey II, they would have to act in "slow motion" in order for their movement to look right at 24fps. (You can kinda tell in a few shots if you look closely).
