Continuity mistake: When Sharon Stone and the old man are talking in the graveyard it's raining. In the closeups, the sky is seen to be somewhat white and cloudy, but in the wide shots, the sky is a deep blue, and almost completely cloudless - and it's still raining. In the wide shot you can see the ground outside of the graveyard is bone dry.

Continuity mistake: In the extended DVD, right before Faramir lets Frodo, Sam, and Gollum go, he grabs Gollum around the neck. The problem is, he grabs Gollum from behind, so his hand is on the back of Gollum's neck. He then pushes Gollum up against the wall, but suddenly his hand is in the front. I've watched this closely, and there isn't enough time for Faramir to twist his hand around. (01:42:20)

Continuity mistake: When Mi and Velvet are talking to Mrs. Brown about the Grand National, Mrs. Brown's hand alternates between being on the table to down at her side in successive shots.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet sits down next to her mother in the attic, she sits sort of behind her, near her elbow. But for the close-ups, Velvet's suddenly moved around to her mother's front for a more comfortable eyeline.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet falls off the Pie, the position in which the stunt double lands on the ground doesn't match the position Elizabeth Taylor is in when it cuts to her rolling to a stop.

Krista

Continuity mistake: In the first scene in the schoolhouse, it looks like the youngest girls are sitting in the front row, and the girls get older each row that goes back. (Velvet is in the second row and her sister, who's in her last year of school, is in the back row and the girls in each row apper to be the same age.) But in the scene the following winter - the next school year - Velvet is sitting in the first row.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet is running out the door for school after sitting up all night, she throws her scarf over her shoulder twice - first in her close-up, then again in the wide shot.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Edwina is folding up the Pie's horse blanket, she places it over her left arm. But in the very next shot it's suddenly over her right arm.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet is hugging Edwina goodbye, her hands are up on Edwina's shoulders in the wide shot, but in the close-up, they're suddenly down.

Krista

Continuity mistake: Mi leads Velvet and the Pie onto the track, then unties the lead line and lets them go. But when it cuts to the wide shot, Mi is suddenly nowhere to be seen.

Krista

Continuity mistake: After the Ghost of Christmas Present slaps Frank, his tie gets flipped up over his shoulder. It then alternates being over his shoulder and down on his chest in successive shots.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Elliot shoots at Frank, he hits a wreath hanging on the wall, and it bursts into flames and falls to the floor. Later when it's laying on the floor however, it has what looks like ashes on the floor around it, but the wreath itself is still perfectly green and not burned at all.

Krista

Continuity mistake: At the end, Frank sees one of the dancers standing under the mistletoe. It cuts to a closeup of the mistletoe which is hanging still. But when it cuts back to the wide shot, the dancer's big hat is hitting the mistletoe, and it's moving around.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Bev and Faye are eating ice cream on the sidewalk, they're joking around, holding their arms out to the side. But in the very next shot, their arms are suddenly down in front of them.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet jumps in front of the Pie at the beginning to keep him from running away, she says "Whoa Pie." But Mr. Edes has not yet called the horse a pirate which leads to his unusual name. Given in the film the horse is chestnut-coloured, she can't be referring to his colour.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Mr. and Mrs. Brown talk about hiring Mi, Mrs. Brown is writing in a ledger. Her left hand goes from being flat on the table, to pointing at a page to hold her place, to flat on the page, to pointing again, to back on the table in successive shots.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet is talking to her mother in the bedroom, her mother puts her hand on top of Velvet's hands. But in the next few shots, her hand is on Velvet's wrist, and Velvet's hands go from being one on top of the other to folded from shot to shot.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet and Mi get in the cart to go to Mr. Edes's farm, Velvet is sitting on the left and Mi is sitting on the right. But when we next see the cart, Velvet is on the right and Mi is on the left. They only have the one delivery to make, and it's not established that they have any reason to have gotten out of the cart.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Velvet is riding the Pie for the first time, they ride past Mi, and Velvet has her crop in her left hand. But in the next shot when she turns around to ride beside Mi, the crop is in her right hand.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy Stewart is watching the couple in the next building, the wine glass behind him alternates between being almost full and almost empty in successive shots.
