Continuity mistake: In the kitchen scene where Bugsy has made a birthday cake for his daughter but has missed her party because guests arrived, the camera shot changes from Bugsy to his wife and back a couple of times. When the shot is from behind Bugsy, there is smoke coming from the birthday cake candles. When from behind his wife, there is no smoke.
Bugsy (1991)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Barry Levinson
Starring: Ben Kingsley, Harvey Keitel, Annette Bening, Warren Beatty
Factual error: The Lincoln Continental shown in the beginning of the movie is a post war model as evidenced by the grill. This scene is during WW II so it should have been the prewar model. It is very close in appearance to the 1942 model but it is not one.
