Character mistake: Jo says Laurie is a "captive like Smee in 'Nicholas Nickleby.'" There is no such character in "Nicholas Nickleby." The character Jo is referring to is named Smike.
Character mistake: When Dracula puts Johnny on a time-out, it is shown that Dracula has the ability of psychokinesis. Yet during the scene when Mavis visits the human village, when one of the dressed up zombies loses its head, Dracula jumps into the scene to physically put the head back to its body, further risking being spotted by Mavis, which he wanted to avoid. (00:16:15)
Suggested correction: Using this power would also be a risk of Mavis finding out because his magic has blue effects around which she would spot.
I doubt that, she was facing the opposite direction of the headless zombie the entire time, and the zombie didn't stand too close to her. However, I have realised that the magic does seem to make sound, and the headless zombie did stand close enough to Mavis for her to would have heard Dracula's magic if he were to have used it.
Even with the sound, I doubt she would have noticed when there are what looks like villagers approaching her with pitchforks and torches.
Character mistake: When Holly and Amber go to see Amber's uncle at the Bistro, they say the 'report' is due tomorrow. However that day will be Sunday (no school!), as previously it was mentioned that the day was Saturday.
Character mistake: When Bob Munro (Robin Williams) is behind the tractor, the speedometer shows that it is below 10mph. He then states that they are going twelve. How could he if they didn't reach 10mph yet?
Character mistake: Eric says he found the little mermaid sculpture "on the coast of Cartagena" - as the subtitles confirm - but he mispronounces it as Cartageña.
Character mistake: Mitch and Hecky are experienced ranchers - so why, when they are all camping, would they leave all the food out in the open within easy reach of bears and other wildlife?
Suggested correction: Is this in reference to when Vicky throws the food everywhere? Mitch is obviously already up and about in this scene as he is wearing shaving cream. That may be food he has put out for breakfast for when everyone else gets up.
Character mistake: When Mike pulls out the first Scare Report, the word "yield" is spelled wrong.
Character mistake: When Fred and Barney are about to be hanged, Betty and Wilma are in the car on their way to save them. Betty calls Wilma 'Willa' instead of Wilma. (01:09:00)
Character mistake: After Santa gives the children new clothes, Ray says that he and the mother can now raise the 9 children. The mother points out that they only have 2, but he points to the group of orphans to include them. However that makes only 7 children.
Character mistake: The registration number of the stolen van is GPW729 but every time it mentioned in the dialogue it is stated as GPW927.
Character mistake: When Tom goes into cardiac arrest, the doctor uses the defibrillator paddles on him, but she uses them whilst the hospital gown is still on him. A defibrillator must be used on bare skin if the electricity is supposed to get through to his heart. (01:08:55)
Character mistake: The batter hit a line drive hit over the second baseman Garcia's head. The pitcher Bass whips his head to his left as the ball goes to right or right center field. The announcer said there's a base hit to left field when it was right field.
Character mistake: During the movie the cat Winky is referred to as male, but much later in the movie is referred to as female.
Character mistake: Archimedes says he told Arthur not to pull the sword out of the stone. He didn't, he pointed it out in the churchyard to him instead.
Suggested correction: Archimedes was trying to be helpful when he pointed out the sword so Merlin could take it to the tournament. But after it became a big issue with the rays from heaven and the legend, Archimedes thought he might get in trouble so tried to act innocent by fibbing. It was deliberate and in character, not a character mistake.
Character mistake: Sabrina calls checkmate but the board is not actually in a checkmate position. (00:55:15)
Character mistake: In the Swedish version, Riley's first name is changed to Jenny. However, in the scene where Joy, Sadness, and Bing Bong are inside the soundstage of Dream Productions, the director can be heard calling Riley by her original name twice. (00:52:40 - 00:53:40)
Character mistake: When the little girl is about to be blown away by the tornado she is crying terrified, but when she is swallowed by the tornado, spinning around violently, she stays totally calm, even bored. (Laserdisc and international extended editions).
Character mistake: The sign outside the Fortune Teller's tent says "Madame Zaza", but when Droopy enters the tent, Spike introduces himself as "Madame Zazu."
Character mistake: When Sam pushes Freddie off the plane, his mother puts on the parachute and jumps out as well. She is in such a hurry, that she doesn't buckle the straps across the front. In real life, as soon as the parachute is deployed, the resistance would cause the parachute to come off and she would likely fall to her death.
Character mistake: When Nanny says, "Look, here's Lucky!" the puppy she picks up does not have a collar on, therefore that cannot be Lucky, as Lucky is one of the original 15 with collars. (01:16:48)
