Revealing mistake: When Mr. Bean tries to delay his hotel neighbour in the elevator, the first time he does it, it's clear that he doesn't press the button itself, but the area next to it. (00:03:12)
Revealing mistake: When Bean silences the guest in room 427 after they were playing loud music, he accidently locks himself out. Later when Bean crawls under a carpet past his room to hide from a kissing couple, room 427 has changed into a fire exit (you can see the room number has been replaced by a fire exit sign).
Chosen answer: I'm guessing it is because he bought a new car. At the end of the first Bean, he crashed the mini. You hear the crash and see his wheel bouncing down the road. Safe to assume it was a write-off.
