Revealing mistake: Near the beginning of the film, when Clang is outside the Beatles' flat on his delivery bike, you can plainly see the rope tied to the front of it giving him a pull as he starts to ride off. In the next shot the rope is gone.
Help! (1965)
1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Richard Lester
Starring: Leo McKern, Eleanor Bron, Ringo Starr, The Beatles, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Victor Spinetti
Continuity mistake: In the scene where John, George and Ringo are about to take their seat in the restaurant, look closely at the mirror on the wall. You can see Paul dancing with Ahme. However, when John then asks, 'Are you eating too, Paul?' and the shot cuts to Paul, the original belly dancer, not yet replaced by Ahme, is the one dancing.
Superintendent: So this is the famous ring?
Ringo: I'm in fear of me life, you know.
Superintendent: And these are the famous Beatles?
John: So this is the famous Scotland Yard, eh?
Superintendent: And how long do you think you'll last?
John: Can't say fairer than that. The Great Train Robbery, eh? How's that going?
Trivia: The title, 'Help', had to be reconsidered when it was discovered that another company were making a film of the same title, so an exclamation mark was added to differentiate it.
