Corrected entry: General Gordon the parrot is a cockatoo when Mrs. Wilberforce first speaks to him, but a green macaw when Harry Robinson is roped in to help give him his medicine.

Correction: Mrs. Wilberforce has three parrots. When she is introducing them to the Professor, she specifically calls the green macaw General Gordon.

Corrected entry: Just after the Major draws the short match, and is protesting that he can't kill Mrs.W. the door to the bedroom, that Mr. Lawson broke down earlier, is seen restored. (01:04:00)

Correction: He didn't break it down completely, he just broke it open. It can still be opened and closed and many of the characters do it after he breaks it open. No mistake.

Corrected entry: Garth Pancake blows off his right index finger. But when the gang is doing the champagne toast after the heist, the finger is visible in a blurred foreground shot. In the next shot, it is missing again.

Correction: (THIS MISTAKE BELONGS UNDER THE 2004 VERSION.)

Mistakes

Revealing mistake: During the scene where the gang attempt to catch the parrot, One-Round gets his legs stuck in a chair and falls over, breaking the chair in the process. About a minute later Herbert Lom breaks the record and it cuts back to One-Round, and the exact same shot of him falling over is seen again.

Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce: Professor, I must give you back your ten shillings. You see, the cabber wouldn't take any money, because he said he was going into some other business.
