Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, you see that the baby Matilda's eyes are brown, but they change colour to blue when she's in the car.
Suggested correction: It was just the lighting. The sun was shining through the window in the morning.
Audio problem: When Zinnia combs back Harry's hair with the grey stuff in it, we see her lips moving, but we hear Michael's voice.
Suggested correction: At 00:34:00, Zinnia combs Harry's hair, and she says to him, "Come here. OK." It is 100% her voice that we hear, and not Michael's.
Trivia: The film is dedicated to Suzie Wilson, the mother of the actress who plays Matilda, Mara Wilson. Suzie Wilson died of breast cancer during the filming of Matilda. The adult actors in the film commended Mara for carrying on with the film after such a tragic loss.
Suggested correction: This is half true. Mara Wilson's mother actually died in post-production. Danny DeVito told Mara Wilson years later that he was able to show her mother a rough cut of the movie before she died, as Mara thought for years that her mother never got to see it.
Revealing mistake: When Matilda telepathically makes the TV explode, you can see what looks like parts of an explosive hidden behind the screen.
Suggested correction: Clearly no sign of it.
Suggested correction: When the TV set explodes, it's a close-up of the screen and no device is seen. When it changes to a wider shot of the actual explosion, the glass breaks and some components of the TV set are shown. There is no way to distinguish between what is a component and what is, as you say, an explosive.
Suggested correction: There is no view of the explosive.
