Hard Day's Night (1964)

Continuity mistake: In final performance sequence watch for Ringo's mysterious moving bongo drums. They're on his right and disappear, then reappear, disappear and then reappear several times. (01:22:45 - 01:24:05)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Factual error: When they sing "I Should Have Known Better" look at Paul's left wrist - he's wearing a metal ID bracelet. Anyone who plays guitar knows that they jangle against the strings. He makes sure in any real live performances that it is tucked up in his sleeve away from the strings. (00:13:40 - 00:34:20)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Visible crew/equipment: In their final performance look closely and you can see director Richard Lester moving through the shot. He's between the Beatles and the audience. (01:16:30)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Continuity mistake: Wilfrid Brambell asks Paul to sign a Beatle picture and he uses a ballpoint pen. Later, he copies them over using the master copy that The Beatles signed with ballpoint pens. Their signatures are now different (done with a thick felt marker) so they can stand out better in the black and white shot. (00:09:10 - 00:45:50)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Continuity mistake: The stage lift that Paul's grandfather is sitting on while signing the pictures is larger, and a different color that the stage lift he comes up on in the middle of the play. (00:45:45)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Continuity mistake: The clock on the wall is constantly changing time in this scene. You can see it several times and you can see its reflection in the mirror. (00:47:00)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Continuity mistake: Watch the clock on a wall. Six minutes of the movie go by but that clock hasn't moved one minute. (00:39:50 - 00:46:25)

Suggested correction: The clock could be broken.

This is pure speculation, not a valid correction.

While it's possible the correction was done without viewing the scene/movie, a clock not moving (or showing the wrong time) isn't a valid mistake unless the same clock is shown working in the scene. The original mistake does not indicate the clock is working or that the time changes.

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: Sunlight is coming into this room from all directions. At first it is coming from the right of the screen. Then when Denis O'Dea goes into the kitchen (screen left), sunlight is coming from the other direction. (00:48:40)
