Rememory picture Rememory mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Sam places the last few mini figurines on the hex riser display, note the house's chimney stack faces to the right, but when Sam picks up the display the chimney faces to the left.

Lean on Pete picture

Continuity mistake: The amount of "sweat" on Charley's T-shirt varies before/after his entrance into his house. While jogging, there is no visible sweat on his T-shirt, but there is sweat around the collar of his T-shirt when approaching the front door to his house. Once inside, Charley makes a "360" (turns completely around) at the door and his T-shirt is now wetter - around the neck and part-way down to his chest (V-shaped); his back also has a vertical oval-shaped area of wetness. As Charley approaches the refrigerator, the wetness on his back quickly disappears (the dark gray area becomes light gray like his T-shirt) and it looks obvious that it was being blow-dried (air was circulating underneath his T-shirt). Next, Charley walks to the sink, and there's a vertical line of "sweat" on his back and the wetness under his arms "grows" and becomes obvious. Real sweat makes a shirt cling to one's body, but this was not true for Charley's T-shirt. (00:03:12 - 00:04:04)

Continuity mistake: When Saul and "Nookmis" (his grandmother Naomi) leave on the canoe, there are several blankets/rolls of food between them. The pile reaches to about Saul's waist in the canoe. When Saul and Naomi continue their canoe trip the following morning, the pile of blankets/rolls between them is higher (almost to Saul's shoulders) and the colors/sizes look different (larger, even though they obviously ate some food). (00:11:37 - 00:12:09)

Continuity mistake: When the soup is about to be served, you see the horns blowing to introduce Victoria, and you can see all of the footmen lined up already with trays of soup, but in the next shot, it shows that they are just starting to march in to line up with their trays of soup. (00:10:45)

The Only Living Boy in New York picture

Continuity mistake: With awkward timing that brings the table conversation to a screeching halt, Thomas says that "New York lost its soul." The woman next to him was having a glass of wine, but it is down on the table in the next shot. George also has his glass raised (we see it in foreground when Thomas explains himself) but it's on the table in the wider angle. (00:11:20)

Continuity mistake: When Christopher Robin first appears in uniform he is wearing second lieutenant's pips. In the following scene, later the same day, they have disappeared, but he is still wearing an open-necked officer's battledress tunic with shirt and tie. He says he is a private. In fact, he joined the Royal Engineers as a sapper (not a private) and was later commissioned.
