Factual error: When Ding Bell is passing the truck, his car downshifts then shifts into a higher gear after passing the truck. Ding never took his hands off the wheel. This is in a VW Bug. These all had manual transmissions when this was filmed. He would have had to manually shift the gears to have the car change gears, but he kept steering with two hands on the wheel. (00:33:00 - 00:33:25)
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)
1 factual error
Directed by: Stanley Kramer
Starring: Spencer Tracy, Peter Falk, Mickey Rooney, Carl Reiner, Jim Backus, Buddy Hackett, Jonathan Winters, Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, Phil Silvers
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dick Shawn and all the characters find the box of money under the big W, Shawn has just thrown Jonathan Winters out of the hole so he would have room to work. But in the next five edits, Winters is both in the hole helping Shawn struggle with the box and is also shown standing outside the hole observing himself along with the others.
J. Algernon Hawthorne: Jolly nasty accident there. Jolly lucky nobody was hurt.
Mrs. Marcus: Where did you get that funny accent? Are you from Harvard or something?
J. Algernon Hawthorne: Harvard? Rather not. I'm English.
Mrs. Marcus: Sounds so foreign.
J. Algernon Hawthorne: Really?
Trivia: Phil Silvers almost drowned whilst filming the scene when he drives his car into the river because he couldn't swim.
