Oliver Twist (2005) More at IMDbPro »

• Anachronisms: The shop "John Lobb - Bootmaker" is visible in the background in London. The story takes place in the late 1830s, but the well- known London boot maker John Lobb wasn't founded until 1866.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Oliver first meets Nancy, the two woman and the Artful Dodger play a card game. Dodger asks Nancy to cut the deck in half, and she splits the card into two piles. When Dodger returns them into two piles, he puts the half that was originally on top, on top again. He might have been cheating, but this could also be an error in the film.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: At 46:55 on the DVD, after Oliver is punched in the face while running from the crowd, the lettering on a hand held sign ('ELECTION') is backwards, so that those frames have been flipped left for right or, rather to show the crowd upside-down as if from Oliver's perspective, those frames have been flipped top for bottom instead of being rotated 180 degrees - rotating 180 degrees is equivalent to flipping both top for bottom and left for right.
  
  

• Crew or equipment visible: (At 14:33) While Oliver is in Mr. Sowerberry's cellar, it's possible to see the shadow of an operator slipping away through the left edge of the screen. The image of the operator is briefly reflected in a mirror.
