Continuity mistake: Whilst having dinner with the Rands, there is a brief shot where Chance's white wine glass is empty - it is full immediately before and afterwards. This is happens just before Mr. Rand launches into his "businessmen are just like gardeners" metaphor. (00:44:54)
Being There (1979)
Directed by: Hal Ashby
Starring: Shirley MacLaine, Peter Sellers, Jack Warden, Melvyn Douglas
Continuity mistake: When Chance has mistaken the bed controller for the remote control, the head of the bed rises and the pillows fall forward onto the unraised portion of the bed. When Rand and Chance leave the bedroom, the pillows are back up against the headboard as before.
Continuity mistake: When Chance sits down at Mr. Jennings' bed, the dead man's head, which was rested on a rather small pillow, now almost disappears in a pillow about twice the size. (00:07:20)
Abraz: Bullshit. Who sent you here, boy? Did that chickenshit asshole Raphael send you, boy?
Chance the Gardener: No. Mr. Thomas Franklin told me I must leave the old man's house. He's dead, you know.
Abraz: Dead, my ass. You tell that asshole, if he got somethin' to tell me, to get his ass down here himself! You got that, boy?
Chance the Gardener: All I've got left is that room upstairs.
Chance the Gardener: I like to watch.
