Continuity mistake: When the doctors are trying to save the patient from being killed, Mel Brooks runs up a long flight of steps in the clock tower. But, during his climb, he saw that there was a step which was cracked, so he avoided it by jumping over it. When he landed on the step above it, he fell through.

Continuity mistake: When Brophy tries to remove the large rock that smashed through Thorndike's bathroom window, the toilet tank lid behind him is askew. As Brophy and Thorndike leave the bathroom, the toilet tank lid is properly seated on the tank.

Deliberate mistake: After the hotel murder, Brophy makes a series of photographic enlargements to prove Dr. Thorndyke's innocence. However, instead of holding his magnifying glass directly in front of his face as he examines the photos, Brophy angles the magnifying glass far to his right so the movie audience can see the magnifying glass details, but he can't possibly see anything.
