Rent

Continuity mistake: During "I Should Tell You" Roger and Mimi are walking out in the snow. As they walk away from The Life Cafe you can see their footprints in the snow. When they turn to walk back toward the cafe all of their footprints are gone - they are now walking on a fresh blanket of snow.

Continuity mistake: When everyone goes into the diner the entrance/exit is on the left side, but then Roger and Mimi leave on a different side of the building and then come back in on the same side they left originally.

Continuity mistake: When Mark and Roger sing the lines, "You're wasting your time, we're broke. And you broke your word, this is absurd." None of the burning papers from the song "Rent" can be seen on the sidewalk. But before and after this portion of the song, they are visible.

Factual error: One of Angel's lyrics (in "Today For You, Tomorrow For Me) refers to the movie "Thelma and Louise." Rent (the movie) is set in 1989-90. "Thelma and Louise" was released in 1991. This was caused when they did the move from Broadway to the screen. The stage show did not specify the year. So when they adapted the stage show to the movie, they didn't check the references. Plus it just sounds cool. (00:28:25)
