Corrected entry: When they go on the school trip, Bella, Edward, Alice, and Bella's friends are there. They are all juniors. But Jasper is there and he is a senior. This couldn't even be a mixed trip, because Emmett and Rosalie aren't there.

Correction: In high school, it is possible for classes to be mixed grades. If someone needs a science credit, for example, a senior could be in a class with juniors.
Correction: Agree with the other corrections, but would add that the teacher, Mr. Molina, would likely teach more than one class for different grade levels. He could easily combine the different classes into one field trip. As there are two buses, it seems likely there is more than one class. Emmett and Rosalie may not be in any of Molina's classes. The field trip may also be optional for students to attend.

Corrected entry: When Bella "slips" on the ice, where she actually slipped, there is no ice.
Correction: You don't have to see ice for it to be there. I live in the same part of the country where the story takes place. It rains a lot here and the temperatures can then drop into freezing. Wet pavement develops a thin ice layer that is nearly invisible. It makes driving and walking extremely hazardous because it is hard to see. This is sometimes called "black ice."

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: Edward Cullen has a consistent accent in the beginning of the movie while in biology class, but does not have an accent for the rest of the movie (or series).
Correction: I would have to disagree that Edward has an "accent." When he first talks to Bella in biology class, he's struggling with his overwhelming desire for her blood, so his speech is a bit strained and deliberate as he attempts to control himself. Bella affected him so much that he was absent from class for about a week. He gradually becomes more comfortable around her and is able to talk more normally.
When he said, "So you're not worried because you'll be in a house full of vampires, but because they won't approve of you?" it does sound like he has an accent of some kind.

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: On Bella's first day of school in the cafeteria, Mike sits down beside her and when Tyler pulls the chair out from under Mike it is thrown several feet away from the table. Mike chases after Tyler. Then, Jessica makes a comment about Bella being a shiny new toy and slides over into the chair that should no longer be there.

Corrected entry: When Edward drops Bella off at the prom - she sits on the bench and Jacob approaches her. Edward first begins to walk off in front of the car and in the next shot he is driving it away.

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: In the ballet studio scene, where the heck did the lights come from? It's night and there's no way that it is the moon's light. It's bright just like a sun's light.
Correction: Actually, some of the windows remain dark, indicating that it's night. The light streaming in the other windows is apparently from outside street illumination. True, it's brighter than it normally would be, and that appears to be deliberate artistic license on the filmmakers part to set the scene, but it is not sunlight.

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: In the cafeteria after Edward picks up the apple, when he's asking Bella 'what if he's the bad guy' his ear is reddened flesh colored as if he just came in from the cold, not white like the rest of his face.
25th Apr 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: Bella tells Mike she won't be able to go to prom because she has a non-refundable ticket to Florida. (In the book there are two dances, and she declines everyone's invitation to attend the first one, and Edward takes her to prom by surprise.) In the movie, nobody questions why she suddenly is able to go to prom.
Correction: How do you know no one questioned her about it and wasn't given an explanation just before the prom? And why would anyone need to ask? She is "officially" with Edward now, and she is going because he wants to take her. Bella also just had a serious accident and broke her leg. That alone is sufficient reason for her to have cancelled or postponed her (fake) trip to Florida.

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: In some scenes, you can notice Edward blushing or colour in his face. Vampires are meant to have pale white faces.
Correction: This issue has been addressed several times on the site now. It is stated in the books that although Edward's skin is pale, he (and presumably other vampires) is capable of appearing flushed under certain circumstances; there's nothing in the movie that contradicts this. Can this be dropped now?

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: Edward hasn't been at school after meeting Bella for the first time. During the lunch scene, Rosalee is seen putting a carrot into her mouth. She doesn't eat. (00:14:45)
Correction: How is that a mistake? It's been pointed out several times here already that the Cullens only give the "appearance" that they eat normally to avoid suspicion. At school, the "siblings" always have food on their trays at lunchtime. They either nibble at it, or just go through the motions of eating, such as Rosalie is doing by putting a carrot in her mouth. The food is either un-chewed and un-swallowed and then removed discretely, or, if it is eaten, it is "voided" later (vampire bulimia).

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: Make up flaw: After Edward 'sparkles' and is telling Bella about his special diet while sitting in the tree, the palms of his hands are blood red with cold or from the lack of makeup. (00:54:25)
5th Mar 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: When Edward and Bella are talking in the forest after he has shown her what he looks like in sunlight, his ears are red from the cold. As vampires are already cold, his ears wouldn't change colour.

Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: In the very last scene where Edward & Bella are at the prom and he kisses her neck, you can see that Bella is whiter than Edward, when Edward should be unbelievably white.
15th Apr 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: In the scene where Bella is being attacked after the bookstore, there are two people in the background. Later there are four attackers. Who are the other people?
10th Apr 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: When Bella storms into the house after the baseball game, she says, 'Robert, I said just leave me alone.' She was meant to call him Edward, which is his character's name.
Correction: Sorry, but you are incorrect. I've listened to this at least half-a-dozen times, and Bella definitely says, "Edward," not "Robert" when she storms into the house. Movie scenes are filmed multiple times to get the best version, so it's highly unlikely a mistake like that would make it into the final cut.
10th Apr 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: Vampires don't eat human food; but in the scene in the cafeteria after the greenhouse scene, the camera zooms in on Edward picking at his food. Look to his left and you will see Emmett chewing on a rice crispy treat he was playing with in the shot before. (00:29:25)
Correction: Vampires can ingest food but are unable to digest it or receive any nourishment from eating. Edward and the other Cullen kids only nibble at or pretend to eat food or leave it untouched while at school so they can appear to be (as much as possible) "normal." Anything they do eat, must be regurgitated later.
7th Apr 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: When Bella gets out of her car you can see a crew member on the glass window.
Correction: Which time is Bella getting out of her truck (not a car) can you see this? If it's at the school, it's certainly possible that the reflection could be a student, a teacher, or some other staff person rather than a film crew member that is reflected. How can you tell it's a crew member and not some random person standing nearby? Is he/she wearing technical gear or holding film equipment that identifies them as a crew member? Sorry, but you need to be more specific for it to qualify as a mistake.
29th Mar 2009
Twilight (2008)
Corrected entry: When Bella comes downstairs to leave Charlie's house for the prom, her dress is a light purple, but once inside the prom her dress is suddenly a teal blue color.
Correction: It's the same dress, and in the DVD commentary, the actors also mention how the color looks different. Colors change with various lighting effects (indoor or outdoor) and different types of film may have been used for shooting the interior and exterior shots, which causes subtle color changes. These are not mistakes, just the by-product of filmmaking.

Correction: In the movies, Jasper is the same grade as Alice. In the books, he is a year ahead of her. So in the movies you see Jasper with them in school. He is on the field trip, he is at school with Alice saying happy birthday in New Moon, he is at the cafeteria table when Alice has her vision in Eclipse as well as being at graduation with Alice. It was just a screen writer/director decision that is different from the book.
Also, in some high schools that do non-mandatory field trips, if a spot opens up a classmate can request to bring a student from another class, so even if he hadn't been bumped back a year for the movies, he would have been able to go on said trip. I don't believe the character of Jasper would spend a day at high school without Alice there.
