Factual error: In the wedding scene at the beginning, the new Mrs. Weston is shown wearing a white dress. This was not the convention at that time; white wedding dresses were pioneered by Queen Victoria (1840-1901). The bride would simply have worn her best dress.
Suggested correction: A white dress may very well have been an unmarried lady's best dress at the time, as it was common for young ladies to wear white.
Continuity mistake: Emma is walking home after praying at church. She encounters Mr. Knightley, who has just returned from London. Emma has a shawl. In close-up shots of her face, the shawl covers her right shoulder. In medium shots showing both her and Mr. Knightley, it no longer covers her shoulder.
Rev. Elton: Were I not an old married man, I should gladly do the job. But my dancing days are over.
