Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles

Continuity mistake: When Lestat slices the whore's wrist at the hotel, blood drips everywhere on the couch, but when she stands up in the next shot, there is no blood anywhere. (01:56:12)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Louis is transforming into a vampire, he finally stops crawling around and lies on the ground. There are two leaves in his hair on either side of his head. We then see a shot of Lestat and then back to Louis and the leaves are gone. (00:13:40)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Louis is convulsing in the graveyard after taking blood from Lestat, in the background you can see Lestat trying to sit up in front of the tomb and makes it half way up, in the next shot he is getting up from being on the ground all over again. (00:13:30)

Continuity mistake: The scene where Louis is kissing the old woman with the two poodles under the tree, she kisses his mouth and smears lip stick onto his nose. The camera cuts away to the two poodles, then back to them but the lipstick is not on Louis' nose any longer. (00:22:45)

Continuity mistake: When Lestat and Louis are in the graveyard and Lestat is turning Louis into a vampire, when he first drops his blood into Louis's mouth there is blood dripping all down one side of Louis's face. He sucks Lestat's blood and it's still there, then when he starts convulsing because his body is dying, he has blood only on his chin. (00:13:00)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where there is a vampire hanging upside down, played by Stephen Rea I think, the cloak around his shoulders and his hair looks normal, not hanging upside down with him.

Continuity mistake: When Lestat slices the whore's wrist at the hotel, blood drips everywhere on the couch, but when she stands up in the next shot, there is no blood anywhere. (01:56:12)

More trivia for Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles

Question: This is a strange question, but how does Rice pronounce her hero's name? In the movie I hear two pronunciations: one like the ending in "cat" and one that sounds more like the end of "what." Also, Lestat is French, so shouldn't the final "t" be silent?

Answer: Rice pronounces it something like "Luh-stot", although even she wavers occasionally. Standard French convention would certainly suggest that the final 't' should be a silent one, but, as Lestat would be deeply insulted to be considered conventional, it's highly likely that he wouldn't choose to go along with that.
