Suspect Zero picture

Continuity mistake: When Agents Mackelway and Charelton are driving to the scene where there is a murder victim in a car hanging at the edge of a cliff, we can see the dust trail from the car begin about 50 yards up the dirt road. With as little wind as there was in this scene, we should be able to see dust all the way up the road. Also, when they start talking with the local sheriff there is a very noticeable cloud of dust behind them, there is a brief cut away, then the dust cloud is totally gone.

Speak picture

Continuity mistake: When the teacher is explaining Symbolism, she writes it on the chalk board. She then turns her back to it and talks to the class. The camera pans to the class but when we turn back to the teacher there are now 2 lines under the word 'Symbolism' that were not there before. We would have heard the chalk noise if she'd written them while out of shot.

Continuity mistake: After Bobby Darin loses the Academy Award for supporting actor, he and Sandra Dee argue and threaten to leave one another. Sandra Dee jumps into her pink '63 Cadillac Coupe Deville and roars away as Bobby Darin jumps into his red '61 Cadillac Convertible and futilely tries to start it.

When he starts smashing out the headlights, all four lights are now glowing brightly.
