Continuity mistake: When Jim and Mike are in the car discussing his split form the Stray Cats, the camera is looking through the rear window showing that they are about to be overtaken by a blue car. But when the camera angles changes to the side window, they are overtaken by a red truck and the blue car has disappeared.
Stardust (1974)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Michael Apted
Starring: Larry Hagman, Adam Faith, David Essex, Ines Des Longchamps
Genres: Drama
Factual error: When the band are in the cafe, it is set in 1965, but "Matthew and Son" by Cat Stevens can be heard on the radio. This record was not issued until 1967.
Sally Potter: Are you a Stray Cat?
Mike: No, I'm a roadie.
Sally Potter: Roadie sounds like some sort of vagrant. What is that exactly?
Mike: It's like an army batman, only without the uniform. I make sure there's enough beer, chips and rubbers to go round. I supply the birds, the pills and the pot. And anything else that might be required to satisfy their lust... carnal, or otherwise.
Trivia: Adam Faith limps in stardust as he was injured in a car accident shortly before filming, but this fitted his character Mike, as Mike exited the prequel "that'll be the day" when he was beaten up by thugs although Mike was played by Ringo Starr in that film.
