Revealing mistake: When the projector blows up in Alfredo's face, it's quite obvious to see the stuntman replacement and his protective clothing as he falls to the floor. (00:54:30)
Cinema Paradiso (1988)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Giuseppe Tornatore

Continuity mistake: When Toto is a child, he is left handed. But as a young man, he is right handed.
Alfredo: I choose my friends for their looks, my enemies for their intelligence.
Trivia: This is in the version which was released first - the non-director's-cut version. As the end credits roll, we see clips from the film. Just at the end of the credits, we see a shot of Elena when she is grown up and a shot of Salvatore standing in the bar with the bright green walls. Both of these clips come from scenes which were completely cut from this version of the movie.
