Visible crew/equipment: In the scene with Nicole Kidman's exorcism, the camera pans to the area above the mantle, where previously the girls had been removing pictures. You can see a section of the wall, about the size of a picture, opening and banging back into the wall. It appears that they intended to hang a picture there and have it banging during the scene, but forgot to hang it up. (01:28:45)
Practical Magic (1998)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Griffin Dunne
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock, Aidan Quinn, Dianne Wiest, Evan Rachel Wood, Stockard Channing, Goran Visnjic
Continuity mistake: When Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are getting ready to bring back Nicole Kidman's jerk boyfriend from the dead, they are going to put him on a counter that has towels and other stuff on it. The camera shows them picking him up and putting him on the counter, and when they do, the towels and stuff are all gone, without them clearing it off. (00:36:40)
Sally Owens: Louis L'amour, who, by the way, was not a foreigner! He was from North Dakota, you asshole.
Trivia: The entire outside of the house is fake - it's just a shell. Even the blossoms on the trees are fake - they're silk.
Question: Near the end when Sally is in the circle with Gilly, there is a series of flashbacks. There is a shot of a woman with curly shoulder length hair surrounded by white. Who is she? She's not their mother as she has long straight hair.
