Stupidity: When Dr. James Harvey dies, there should be a body left behind in the manhole. After Kat and Casper revive him in his ghost form in the Lazarus, he comes out with a body (and clothing). One can assume that there are now two bodies of him, one alive and one dead. That would make an interesting article in the newspapers of the next day.

Casper (1995)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Brad Silberling
Starring: Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci, Eric Idle, Cathy Moriarty, Chauncey Leopardi, Malachi Pearson, Spencer Vrooman
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Harvey sees his dead wife, Amelia, for the first time as a ghost, he talks to her half way up the staircase in the manor while the party is going on. The camera changes angles a few times from the side of their heads, to Amelia's view of Dr. Harvey. In each different camera angle, his hair changes place, from the side of his head, it slips down in front of his face.
Kat: Drop dead.
Stretch: Too late.
Trivia: The interior of Whipstaff was built at Universal Studios. Early in production there were several moderate earthquakes in the Los Angeles area and many of the large cracks that appear on the walls, etc. were real.
