Factual error: Hallie, in London, dials the operator and says she wants to place a collect call to Napa, California. The phone rings once and Annie answers, then begins talking. On such a call, the operator should have told the recipient, "You have a collect call. Will you accept the charges?"

Continuity mistake: When Marva Kulp Sr. is sliding into the cabin, the girl on the right side top bunk is slightly under the sheets, and the girl on the bottom is sitting with her legs out. When the camera cuts back to the whole cabin, the girl on top is lying on top of the sheets, and the girl on the bottom is under the sheets.

Continuity mistake: When Hallie and Annie are fighting over the lights being on or off, their light switches should alternate from flipping up or down. Annie does so, but when the camera shows Hallie flipping her switch, she always flips it down.

Continuity mistake: When Hallie arrives at the airport, Martin has a bouquet of flowers for her. He never hands them to her, but suddenly she has them and sets them down in order to do the handshake.

Audio problem: Elizabeth said "grandmother" and it appears as though the word"grandfather" was dubbed in very poorly. There was a grandmother and grandfather in the original movie; but only a grandfather in the remake.

Suggested correction: Elizabeth actually said grand-ma-father, catching herself starting to say grandmother and changing it to grandfather. This mistake on her part was left in because they rationalized it as Elizabeth just being nervous about going on the trip.

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Hallie meets Grandfather, there are two bottles on the desk. One is filled with alcohol and the other is not. During the next shot, both bottles are moved to the back table behind the desk and the bottle filled with alcohol is empty. (00:38:05)

Trivia: In the scene when Hallie (playing as Annie) and Liz (the mom) are walking to the photo shoot, they're walking across the street. It goes into a freeze frame while playing 'Here Comes The Sun', that was a Beatles song and the Beatles took a picture in those exact poses.

Question: What kind of wine was served on the Queen Elizabeth 2nd boat? I know it was a red wine that said "where dreams have no end wine 1983" but i've found that that wine is actually a white.
