Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: Mr. Qua and the Cutlers walk away from the Loomis' room after talking to Marilyn. If you look closely the stonewall to the left of them is not in direct sunlight as it was a few shots earlier when they walked up to the door. (00:09:45)

17th Jan 2007

Niagara (1953)

Visible crew/equipment: George Loomis talks to Polly in the boat and looking outside the window it's easy to see that there's no island in front of them. A few shots later it's obvious that the island is superimposed on the falls. (01:21:15)

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: Polly is safely on an island in the middle of the river as we see the helicopter coming to rescue her. Unfortunately when we see her they're showing us the falls from the wrong direction and we can see the island she's supposed to be on behind her. (01:26:35)

Continuity mistake: As George Loomis tries to steal the boat there's an ice bucket underneath the table to the right of the steering wheel. Later Polly comes back with some beer and grabs for the ice bucket, which has been rotated 45 degrees even though no one went near it. (01:15:35)

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: Inspector Starkey gets into the police car before Ray Cutler, who sits in the rear driver side seat as they pull away. Several shots later we see them again in a close-up chasing George Loomis and their positions in the rear of the police car have reversed. (01:20:50)

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: Two Canadian motorcycle police drive up and speak to the boat keeper about George Loomis, and a prominent tire mark is on the side of the road in front of the black car. The next time we see this spot as Ray and Mr. Kettering run to the boat it's not there. (01:12:20 - 01:17:10)

13th Jan 2007

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: Before George Loomis strangles Marilyn in the bell tower she knocks everything out of her pocketbook looking for a dime to make a call on the second floor pay phone. We see the items on the floor as George walks past on his way to kill her, but later when he returns and picks up her lipstick everything has been moved. (01:07:25)

13th Jan 2007

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: When the Canadian motorcycle police drive up and speak to the boat keeper about George Loomis they're all in direct sunlight with no trees anywhere near them. When they leave several shots later it must be an entirely different time of day because shade from the trees across the street covers the entire set. (01:12:25)

13th Jan 2007

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: After fishing on the Niagara river with the Cutler's, Mr. Kettering pulls his boat up to a dock that is in the shade. In the next shot the dock is in the sunlight. (01:11:30)

13th Jan 2007

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: Ray Cutler decides they should leave the Rainbow Cabins and picks up one of two stacks of books on a table to the right of the front door as he talks to Polly. No one goes near this spot but earlier in the scene there was only one stack of books along with a pocketbook (which is now on the floor) on the table. (00:49:45)

13th Jan 2007

Niagara (1953)

Continuity mistake: As the Canadian motorcycle police drive away George Loomis hides across the street behind a boat and some items that look like they belong in a tag sale. In the next shot as he walks away all of the items on the right of the boat have been rearranged. (01:13:10)

Niagara (1953)

13th Jan 2007

Niagara (1953)

Visible crew/equipment: After his supposed death we see George Loomis back at the Rainbow Cabins and he's standing by the garbage cans in the back of cabin B. We see him through a window and if you look closely a crew member's thumb can be seen on the window at the beginning of the shot. (00:46:35)
