St. Trinian's

Continuity mistake: When Bursar puts the whistle in his mouth at the start of the hockey game the whistle is upside down, but as it drops out of his mouth, after blowing it, it’s right-side up. (00:26:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Annabelle is in the shower, the overhead videocam turns and we see its feed on the laptop. In this shot, as it pans the shower from left to right, the shelf is visible on the right wall, with nothing hanging from its hooks. However, a few shots later a girl removes the towel and robe that are hanging from those hooks. (00:09:45)

Super Grover

Deliberate mistake: When Annabelle uses her hockey stick to send her cell flying, the shot of the cell spinning in midair is a flipped shot. Note the board with name plaques behind the bust is backwards, and the glass amnesty box (for contraband) is now to the left instead of right. (00:11:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the start, when Annabelle and her father drive past the school’s front gate, the trees are in full bloom, covered in white flowers. Yet in the next shot from behind the car, the trees are bare. Then when Flash drives up to the front gate, the flowers are back, but in following shots the flowers are gone again. (00:01:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: After Kelly has shown Annabelle to her bed, in the close-up the girl writing on the blackboard crosses out the zero and writes a five under it. Yet that writing is gone just before the paint spills on Annabelle. (00:09:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When the dour-faced bank man is awaiting Miss Fritton, in shots facing Miss Fritton the briefcase on his lap has its side zippers facing out, but in other shots the briefcase faces the opposite way with its plain leather side facing out. (00:34:10)

Super Grover

Other mistake: Just before the Cheltenham bus arrives before the hockey game, Geoffrey Thwaites is reading The Sun. In the close-up the headline reads "Shot in the arm, new Minister for Education announced today", with a photo of Geoffrey beside it. However, the actual article has nothing to do with Geoffrey. It is about Andy Millman's temper, and how he verbally abused a Downs Syndrome child. Andy Millman is a fictional TV character played by Ricky Gervais in "Extras". The other two articles make no sense as well. (00:21:10)

Super Grover

Deliberate mistake: After Burser blows the whistle to begin the hockey game, Verity knocks him out with her hockey stick. The next close-up of Miss Dickinson and Miss Cleaver is a flipped shot, note Miss Dickinson's hair part and Miss Cleaver's red patch on the wrong sleeve. (00:26:50)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the very start of the hockey game, in the shot just after Matron blows the whistle, the scoreboard is visible behind the girls and it reads "St. Trinian 1 and Visitors 3". It's actually four shots later that Cheltenham are the first to score, which then makes it St. Trinian 0 and Visitors 1. (00:27:00)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: On Miss Dickinson's first day, when Matron hands the new teacher the glass of her latest concoction, the slice of lime garnishes the rim, but in Miss Dickinson's close-up the lime is floating in the drink, then it's back on the rim just before it's back in the drink once again. (00:18:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Kelly writes "The Heist" as the 7th idea during Flash's class on "The 7 Laws of Crime," her handwriting on the board is completely different in following shots. (00:44:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the shooting range, the teacher with the machine gun shoots the heads off several of the "ducks". But when the girls with ducks on their heads come up, a second later, all three ducks are intact.

Continuity mistake: When Kelly, Taylor and Andrea reach the balcony over the audience, there are two large paintings and a sculpture behind them. There are two large paintings on the balcony across from them as well. In the following shots the sculpture switches from male to female repeatedly, and the painting from the opposite balcony actually appears on the other side. For example, when Kelly whispers, "We need more cover," the sculpture is male, but when she climbs over the banister to the zip line, the sculpture is female. Also, when Miss Fritton swings across to rescue Kelly, the painting behind her is the same one that should be on the opposite balcony. (01:15:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Kelly and Annabelle are walking toward Annabelle's bed, Andrea is walking behind them, and as Annabelle says "Goths, " Andrea is standing right beside her. Yet in the next shot, Andrea is lying on her bed, just as someone says "We're not Goths, we're Emos." (00:08:40)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: While Geoffrey is hiding in Posh Totty's room, Peaches and Chloe begin applying mascara to Chelsea's lashes. In Chelsea's first close-up the camera is facing her reflection in the mirror, and Chloe is using a short handle mascara wand with her right hand (we are seeing a reflection and we also see a bit of Chloe's non-reflection hand in the foreground). In the next shot, just before Chloe's cell rings, Chloe is holding the now longer handled mascara wand with her left hand. Peaches is holding her mascara wand differently as well. (00:29:00)

Deliberate mistake: At the start of the hockey game against Cheltenham, after the close-up of Janey sharpening her hockey stick, when Bursar says, "Okay, yeah, into position," his close-up is a flipped shot. Note his shirt's pocket and logo. (00:26:35)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: When the girls jump out of the bus at Trafalgar Square, members of the public behind the railings can directly be seen watching and recording the filming.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the move Carnaby Fritton introduces himself as Camilla's (the headmistress) younger brother. However, when he later visits her to discuss turning the school into a hotel he directly calls her his little sister.

Liam D

Continuity mistake: When the girls are taking bets on how long Annabelle will last, the one writing on the blackboard is wearing a top with a small dark design and she is holding a pen in her right hand together with the chalk. However, in the close-up the pen has vanished and the sleeve is entirely different - the dark design is gone and instead there is a light pink design. (00:09:10)

Super Grover

Flash Harry: I wanted to talk to you about the problems with the last batch.
Tania and Tara: Problems, Flash?
Flash Harry: The slightly bitter aftertaste, the people going blind after the second glass, that lady what died...
Tania: She was old.
Tara: She could have gone at any time.
Flash Harry: She was thirty-eight.
Tania and Tara: Yeah?

Chosen answer: She wasn't in one of the groups (Geeks, Emos, First Years, Posh Totties and Chavs), she was an outsider. The girls later give her a makeover as each one of the cliques, but she ended up as herself and said she "felt like a St Trinian".
