Factual error: The establishing shot of the film shows an art gallery with the subtitle 'The Royal National Gallery, London'. Not only is there no such museum (its closest match being simply the 'National Gallery'), but the shot actually shows the Tate Britain, complete with visible red banner outside saying 'Tate Gallery'.

Bean (1997)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Mel Smith
Starring: Burt Reynolds, Rowan Atkinson, John Mills, Peter MacNicol, Pamela Reed
Continuity mistake: When David tells Kevin and Jennifer about Bean staying at their house and he says "Let's say there is a chart of the most intelligent people...", you can see a blue pillow on the couch which Kevin and Jennifer are sitting on. When it cuts to a shot behind them you can see the pillow is on Kevin's lap. When it cuts again the pillow's back on the couch. (00:08:15)
General Newton: I don't know the difference between Picasso and a car crash.
