details

• Continuity: Shakespeare in Love (1998) jumps about half an hour and then jumps back about fifteen minutes in between shots in the movie theatre scene.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Wire visible on piano rolling down stairs.
  
  
• Continuity: Greg's BMW 5-series hits something, breaking the driver's side headlamp, while the passenger side lamp stays on. Then When the BMW is on the dock, the driver's side high-beam lamp is shown as lit - which may be fine, but the passenger side low-beam is on.
  
  

• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The same girl walks by two or three times when Cindy and Bobby are talking in the cafeteria. Shorty even refers to this, making it clear to most viewers that it's a joke.
  
  
• Continuity: In the shower scene, the girl standing on the right is naked in the first shot and has a towel over her back in the next shot.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Ray's jersey number on the field is 13; later in his room it's 12. However, some high schools use different numbers on practice and game jerseys.
  
  
• Continuity: When Cindy pushes the piano down the stairs, she is at the third floor of the house. She then runs down the hallway into her room, also on the third floor. She later runs out of the same door (you can see the third floor hallway in the background). Yet in the next shot, you see her running from her room, onto the second floor landing halfway down the stairs.
  
  
• Continuity: When Miss Mann gives the safety tips, an African-American girl stands behind her. That girl puts an article of clothing on, but she stops and leaves it curled up around her neck. The shot changes to the girls, then back to Miss Mann. This takes about four seconds. When it gets back to Miss Mann, the girl in the background is fully clothed and is standing relaxed and listening to the speech.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Ray asks Greg if his yellow shirt makes him look gay. Then the camera cuts away; when it cuts back, Ray is wearing a black t-shirt instead of the yellow one he just had on because he put it on over the yellow one.
  
  
• Continuity: Position of Grandma (whether she is standing or getting up from the floor) changes while the piano comes toward her.
  
  
• Continuity: When the gang is in the car traveling around the curb in the "flashback," Greg stands up through the sunroof. When he climbs up to the sunroof his bottle of Jack Daniels is empty, in the next shot it is full.
  
  
• Continuity: Cindy throws a giant brass plate at the killer during the Matrix parody. When the scene cuts to the killer with a back injury, there is no sight of the plate.
  
  
• Continuity: In the flashback, when Shorty is pulling up (car still moving, but nearing a stop) the inside of the car is clear (no smoke). As the car stops, the inside is completely filled with smoke.
  
  
• Continuity: After Ray and Bobby reveal that they are copycats, the killer stabs Ray and the hook does not come through his chest. In the next shot it has come through his chest and he is bleeding through the hole; in the next shot, the blood and hole have disappeared again.
  
  
• Continuity: When the sheriff pours the coffee into Cindy's cup you can see it's black. But when she drops it, it's mixed with milk.
  
  
• Continuity: While Ray is explaining to Cindy about television shows creating psychopathic killers and when he starts stabbing Bobby, the knife is in his left hand, but in the next shot, he's stabbing Bobby with the knife in his right hand.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: The judge's mouth does not move when saying "must be an original piece" about Buffy's dramatic reading in the beauty pageant.
  
  
• Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, when Drew goes to the door, there is nothing on the table by the door. When she close the door, there are weapons and a banana on the table.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Cindy rescues her dad in the kitchen, he lets go of the handcuffs and you can see that they weren't actually buckled up.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: While Cindy is taking a bath she shaves and the razor is drawn along her wet hair but does no damage to the hair, revealing there are no blades.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When they dump the body into the harbor, they take him out of the trunk and they set him down on the wharf you can see the fisherman set his hand down to catch him self
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: After the garage door comes down on the garage victim, a hand can be seen from the outside pushing her boot off her foot as she's frantically kicking her feet.
  
  
• Crew or equipment visible: In the scene where a teacher plummets from atop the school roof, just before he hits the ground you can see the shadow of the crane he jumps from, which would only be about 6ft high.
  
  
• Continuity: After Drew hits the trick-or-treaters with the bat, you can see a paper skeleton on the outside of the front door. However, in the next shot, the skeleton is seen on the door to the right of the front door.
