Corrected entry: When Nausicaä is being held in the Pejite brig, and Lastel's mother and another girl come to free her, the girl who exchanges outfits with her gives her a red dress to wear. She's seen wearing this red dress until she encounters the baby ohmu later. She looks out and sees the stampeding ohmu while wearing the red dress, and ten seconds later when she's trying to prevent the baby from going into the lake she's suddenly wearing a blue dress, and it remains blue for the rest of the film. (01:25:05 - 01:43:05)
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Hayao Miyazaki
Starring: Sumi Shimamoto, Goro Naya, Hisako Kyoda, Mahito Tsujimura
Deliberate mistake: In the end sequence, when the joyous Valley of the Wind people run past Yuppa and the old woman to welcome back Nausicaä among the living, the same group(s) of people are seen twice running from the right to the left.
Commando: That's Lord Yupa. Kill him and you'll be famous.
Trivia: In the first Western release, the movie was - for some unknown reason - dubbed "Warriors of the Wind", and the script underwent several (partially unreasonable) changes. Even some of the scenes where the more peace-seeking aspects were approached - like Nausicaä trying to raise non-poisonous plants in order to find the cause of the world's pollution - were simply cut out. Creator and director Miyazaki has since appealed to the fans to forget about this Western version.

Correction: In the scene where Nausicaa is saving the baby ohmu, she becomes covered in ohmu blood which is blue. She needs to be wearing blue in order for the prophesy to be fulfilled. That is why her tunic goes from red to blue.
