Audio problem: In the shower scene, one of the girls says "today is my birthday" but her lips say "tomorrow is my birthday". This is also noteworthy because other circumstantial evidence suggests that an extra day has been edited out of the film.
Nuns on the Run (1990)
1 audio problem
Directed by: Jonathan Lynn

Continuity mistake: During the chase scene, Abbott shoots a member of the Triads in the leg. A police car arrives and cuts across the road, parking within several feet of the flaming car. Three shots later we see the police car is about twenty feet away from the flaming car, and is on the opposite side of the road.
Brian Hope: Look Charlie, some con men sell life insurance. The church sells afterlife insurance. It's brilliant! Everyone thinks you might need it, and no-one can prove you don't.
Charlie McManus: The church isn't selling anything, Brian.
Brian Hope: Oh! Well, if the church isn't selling anything how did it get to be so rich? Just remember, wherever there's a deep human need there's money to be made.
Charlie McManus: You think so?
Brian Hope: Of course, look at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Trivia: As an in-joke, Brian Hope and Charlie McManus are both credited as playing the flight attendants in the ending credits.
