Peter Pan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Wendy awakens, she opens the door to find the Lost Boys standing there looking 'lovable'. The shots from the interior shows Wendy's hand on the door with her arm outstretched while she remains inside. Yet in the exterior shots she is standing outside the door frame. (00:37:15)

Peter Pan (2003)

Visible crew/equipment: At the Black Castle, Wendy, John, Michael and Tiger Lily jump down into Smee's boat. In the wide shot as they land in the boat, seen under John's gown at his backside is an outline of the square apparatus and Wendy's nightgown is gathered up and pulled at her back from the line that is attached for her descent. (00:49:50)

Peter Pan (2003)

Revealing mistake: When Michael is riding Nana down the hallway towards the bath, he is naked, though it is plain to see that his entire body is not seen even when he flips, it is simply skin coloring. This part of his body was digitally augmented, as he was filmed wearing a covering on his privates. (00:02:40)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: John and Michael dash out of the cave with the crocodile and run. After John yells, "Happy thoughts!" the exact same shot is seen twice as they run together. Then when John and Michael step into the traps, each are snared only on their right leg. However, in the next shot both of their legs are trapped as they hang upside down. (00:40:20)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: At the Black Castle, Hook reappears and calls out, "Mr. Smee?" In this shot there is an oar handle at the bow of the boat. In the next shot facing Hook, the oar is gone. (00:46:05)

Continuity mistake: On the Jolly Roger, Hook slashes one of his men and asks, "Any other contributions?" The pirates are positioned differently in the shots facing Hook and in the shot facing themselves. (00:32:15)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: Smee and another pirate are at the Black castle and the pirate wears a buckled strap across his chest. The position of this strap changes in different shots. When Hook shoots him, the huge bullet hole does not appear in the wide shot, only the close-up. (00:46:10)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: Peter and Hook are face to face as Hook taunts Peter saying, "I'm afraid the window's barred..." In the shots facing Hook, Peter holds the base of Hook's hook with his left hand while his right hand blocks Hook's hook with his sword. However in the shots facing Peter, while the boy blocks Hook's hook with his sword, Peter's left hand does not hold the base of Hook's hook. (01:26:50)

Peter Pan (2003)

Deliberate mistake: Hook tells Peter, "She'd rather grow up than stay with you," and we see that this next wide shot is flipped, note the hook on the left hand. Also, as Hook smacks Peter across his face and sends Peter hurling into the rigging with a bleeding forehead, dramatic as that is Hook doesn't even make contact with Peter in the shot. (01:26:25)

Peter Pan (2003)

Revealing mistake: Jason Isaac's stunt double is easily seen in quite a few shots, for example when Hook duels with Peter on the Jolly Roger. His hairline is lower and the shape of his beard is different. (01:32:25)

Audio problem: Aunt Millicent checks on the sleeping children and in the shot outside the bedroom we hear the sound of her closing the door. However when she is startled by her true shadow we see the bedroom door has been left ajar. (00:14:30)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Darling plays the piano and when the children start dancing around Aunt Millicent we see the small red velvet pillow on the table to her left. In the next wide shot as they dance, Mr. Darling settles them down and the pillow is not on the table, yet in Aunt Millicent's close-up the pillow is there as before. (00:03:20)

Continuity mistake: After arriving at the bank, the young letter carrier pulls out the envelope addressed to Mr. Darling and holds it out in front of him. Yet in the next shot facing Mr. Darling the letter is held the opposite way, in the boy's still outstretched hand. (00:09:10)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: There is a shot of Nana sleeping in her house before we see Peter flying over Wendy, who is also asleep. Then there is another shot of Nana coming out of her house barking. The toys' positions near Nana's house differ in both shots and Nana did not move them. (00:06:05)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Peter struggles with his shadow on the dresser in the hallway, in the first shot Peter's right foot forces the red table runner to slide off. Yet in the next shot the wrinkled runner is still on the dresser, though it starts to fall with Peter as he goes down. In the next close-up of the drawer, the runner and Peter are still on top and both fall again, albeit differently. But when Aunt Millicent closes the bedroom door the wrinkled table runner is on the dresser again as she walks away and when Wendy gets needle & thread the runner is neat and flat. (00:13:30 - 00:14:35)

Continuity mistake: Peter kicks the jack-in-the-box and it falls over, but when Wendy starts to say, "But there's no such thing as," Peter flies toward her and the jack-in-the-box is upright now. (00:18:55)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: Tink unlocks the nursery window, flies about and darts under John's bed. In the view from above John's bed, we see a large play castle at the brass footboard of his bed. However, in the next shot looking out from under his bed as Tink opens the wardrobe, we see through the bars of the footboard that the play castle is GONE. Then in the next shot of the bed the castle is back. (00:12:25)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: When John falls to the floor he slams into the toy house. In the wide shot he and the house stop moving with his feet landing near the toy house, whose front door is wide open as the camera shows Wendy and Michael through it. In the close-up however his head is near the house, whose front door just opens a bit. (00:21:45)
