Corrected entry: In the nightclub, Cats, after Duckie tells Iona that he's sorry, you see him wiping his lips with a napkin. Then the camera goes to Iona showing her downing her drink and putting her hand on one side of her face, but, when the camera shows her doing this, behind her, you see Duckie reaching for a napkin off of the table.
Pretty in Pink (1986)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Howard Deutch
Starring: Harry Dean Stanton, Andrew McCarthy, Molly Ringwald, Annie Potts, Jon Cryer
Continuity mistake: At the end, at the prom, Andrew McCarthy's hair is clearly much shorter (and combed really weird!) than in the rest of the movie. Sure you could argue, "maybe he got a haircut for the prom". But a couple of scenes earlier, it shows everyone getting ready for the prom, including him, and his hair is the same as it is all through the movie, up until the prom scene. [One contributor explains: Andrew McCarthy and Duckie are both wearing wigs. I know this because my father made the wigs. The original ending had Molly Ringwald ending up with Duckie. They wanted to change the ending so that she would end up with McCarthy. In the meantime, he had gotten a crew-cut to appear in a play or movie about soldiers. I don't know what was up w/ Duckie's hair, but the last scene has him in a wig,too].
