Revealing mistake: During the credits, Don Falcone is reading about the bloody feud between fellow cheesemaking mafia families Lombardi and Zanetti. The first article he browses is the April 7, 1985 edition of the Italian newspaper "Il Messaggero," with a bad glue-on job (the left column's font does not match the rest of the actual newspaper). He then reads about the car bombs in another newspaper, "Paese Sera." Here the prop design is better, but if you can read Italian, you can easily see that the article does not match its headline at all; it's not about a brutal mafia murder, but rather about the "sliding wage scale" referendum which was taking place in the country at the time the movie was shot, in 1985. (00:03:00 - 00:04:15)

Revealing mistake: When Norman drives Dukes car into the pond, it's obvious no one is in it.
Revealing mistake: In the Director's Cut ending when Audrey II eats Seymour, it spits out his glasses, and they land in front of the camera. They pulled this off by having a pair of glasses inside the plant's mouth that would be yanked out by a string, and another pair of glasses would be dropped in front of the camera. However, the first pair gets caught in the teeth and fall back inside the mouth, but the other pair lands on the ground anyway.
Revealing mistake: In the taxi scene Ferris' dad is reading a newspaper. On the front page is an article with the headline "Community rallies around sick youth." As the camera zooms in it's a fake headline to a real news article. The news article begins, "A Chicago policeman killed himself today after he... a Park Ridge office and... workers with a... revolver as he searched for his estranged wife who was hidden beneath a desk by a fellow worker".
