Deliberate mistake: Hansel will die if he doesn't take his medicine for 4 hours, but after hanging overnight in a tree he shows no signs of needing.
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Tommy Wirkola
Starring: Famke Janssen, Jeremy Renner, Peter Stormare, Gemma Arterton
Continuity mistake: Young Hansel and Gretel both get some scratches and cuts on their faces when lost in the woods before finding the candy house. But while they are staring at the witch roasting in the oven, the scratches on Hansel's face have disappeared, but Gretel's remain. (00:06:30)
Hansel: Some people will say that not all witches are evil, that their powers could be used for good. I say burn them all!
Trivia: The director, Tommy Wirkola, has an uncredited cameo of sorts (seen on screen longer than a usual cameo) as one of Sheriff Berringer's four deputies. Stuntman Wolfgang Lindner portrayed one of the deputies, and is uncredited as well.
More questions & answers from Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
Chosen answer: Hansel & Gretel's ages are never mentioned in the original fairytale. But Cedric Eich who plays young Hansel is currently 13 (August 10th, 2000). The age of Alea Sophia Boudodimos who plays young Gretel is unknown, but I'd guess that she's a similar age.
