Twilight

Corrected entry: In the prom scene, as Bella and Edward are walking around the room saying 'Hi' to people, Bella has her purse in her right hand. However, when the shot is from behind then, looking at Eric and Angela, Bella has a glass in her right hand. In the next shot facing Bella and Edward, she again has just her purse.

Correction: This is not really a mistake. They have shown the prom to look like they are there for a while and had enough time to have a drink.

Corrected entry: When Bella first enters the biology classroom, the fan is on but in the next shot of the teacher, you can see the fan and it is now off. In the next shot the fan is on again and Bella walks by it as it blows her hair.

Hamster

Correction: There are two fans, one Bella walks by at the entrance to the room. That one is on. The one toward the front of the room behind the teacher is off.

Corrected entry: Bella has a cast put on the foot that was broken in the fight with James. She also has a bitemark on her right arm which is bandaged in hospital. But at prom the bandage and bitemark are both gone, even though she still has the cast on her foot.

Hamster

Correction: A bite mark would heal much more quickly than a broken leg.

Corrected entry: When Rosalie runs through the woods wearing Bella's jacket to throw off James in one shot she is wearing the blue jacket the next she is not and when camera switches back she is again.

Correction: She's wearing Bella's jacket everytime but she's running fast and wind throws the jacket off sometime so we can see the blue jacket.

Corrected entry: In the scene at the hospital, there are chest x-rays in the background. The chest x-ray on the far left is hung upside down.

Correction: It is common that X-rays are placed on the reader boxes by others (radiology technicians, nurses, etc) while pending review by the doctor. They know that when the doctor comes to read the X-ray they will place it in whatever position is correct, or best suits their ability to best see the area they are making a diagnosis.

OneHappyHusky

Corrected entry: In the first Biology scene, Edward pushes the dish toward Bella. The shot changes and the dishes are next to each other again, but when the shot changes the dishes are apart.

Correction: In the entire first biology scene, it is edited in a "montage" style, to show the way in which Edward is being tempted by Bella's scent, and trying to control himself. As this scene is not shown in real time, then inconsistencies from each shot are perfectly fine, as they show evidence that time has passed during this "montage."

Hamster

Correction: He is merely pretending to sleep, to fool Bella's mother. This is made clear in the film and also explained in the book.

Hamster

Corrected entry: In the scene where Bella is being cornered by the four men in the dark alley, there is another man behind them on some sort of ramp. He is holding a camera, and in the next shot, he isn't there.

Correction: My friends and I thought it was a guy leaning in to make out with a lady. Then they leave by the time they show that area again - it is definitely more than one person and they clearly have no camera or equipment whatsoever, so not a mistake.

Corrected entry: In the first outdoor shot of the Scottsdale hotel, in the bottom left of the frame, a large planter with a large cactus is seen. After they cut back to the same location, the planter is gone.

Correction: The planter is not gone, the camera is just closer to Bella in the other shot.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Edward saves Bella from the Van, the second time they pan up to show the entire parking lot, the Cullen cars are all gone. Two shots later the do a close up on Jasper, Alice and Rosalie's faces (of shock) next to their cars. Then the next shot is another areal view of the lot again, no Cullen cars.

Correction: If you look at the parking lot there are 4 rows of parking. Bella is in the first, then 2 rows in the middle and one on the far right where the Cullen's are. When they show the lot after Edward saves Bella, they only show 3 rows. Bella's and the 2 in the middle. Cullen's row is off camera.

Corrected entry: Bella is sleeping and dreams about Edward for the first time, and she wakes up in shock and looks over and "thinks" she sees him. Then the camera is back on Bella, and you see the reflection of Edward walking out of the shot. (You see the light reflecting on Bella's face of Edward's shadow.) Not hard to miss.

Correction: Bella "thought" she saw Edward there, and he really was. He says later on in the movie, just before the kiss scene, that he has been sneaking up to her room for a few months. So, seeing his reflection as he is leaving is logical.

Corrected entry: As my health occupation friends pointed out, when a bone is broken you cannot put sheets on that area. It crushes the broken limb. Therefore,in the scene where Bella is lying in the hospital, she shouldn't have the covers over her broken leg. Her knee doesn't count either, since her shin was broken towards the bottom.

Correction: If you actually watch carefully her bandaged leg is out of the covers as i noticed it and questioned my friend as to why. So your right about it not supposed to be covered, but wrong in what you stated to be a mistake.

Corrected entry: When Bella gets out of the examining room at the hospital with her dad, right before she talks to Edward, her dad tells her she should call her mom to say she's OK. Then Bella says to her dad, "You tell her?" when it should be, "You told her?"

Correction: Poor grammar may be annoying to some, but it is not a movie/filming mistake.

Corrected entry: During the scene in kitchen at the Cullen house, when the woman says, "Here comes the human," her lips don't move.

Correction: Rosalie is not on screen when she says this. She is off screen to the right on the other side of the kitchen island. Only Emmett, Esme, and Carlisle are visible when Rosalie makes the comment, "Would you get a whif of that? Here comes the human."

Corrected entry: The bite marks on Edward's neck are sometimes viewed on the left side of his neck and sometimes on the right side.

Correction: On the left side of Rob's neck are his two moles/freckles, and not bite marks.

Corrected entry: In the end credits, Emmett's name was typed wrong. It was Emmet.

Correction: Since it doesn't appear in print anywhere in the movie, and movie/book discrepancies are not valid movie mistakes, this isn't a mistake.

Phixius

Corrected entry: When Bella sees the Cullen family for the first time, when the family is all sitting together, you see Rosalie eating a carrot. Then when Bella goes to the Cullen house, they say they don't eat food.

Correction: Keeping up appearances. People would notice if they never ate anything. But no, they don't 'eat' food.

Phixius

Corrected entry: During the first killing at the mill, it's daylight. The next shot is very short - it's dark and raining in front of Charlie's house. Then it's morning and Bella is leaving for school (when she slips on the ice). While the rain in evening may be the explanation for morning ice, it seems completely unnecessary, especially considering how short the clip is. It seems more likely that there was supposed to be another evening scene that was later cut. In addition, when the van skids on the ice in the school parking lot, it's after school. Since it's spring in WA (she starts school in March), it is very unlikely that the school parking lot would still be icy in the afternoon. In the book, the van accident occurs before school opens for the day.

Correction: NONE of these are movie mistakes; they are issues of editorial license between the book and the movie. And Washington State in March is almost always close to or below freezing in temperature.

Brenda Elzin

Corrected entry: During the baseball game, Rosalie slides into the base and gets her white pant leg dirty. However, when she is sitting on the counter in the Cullen's garage it is now perfectly clean.

Correction: When Rosalie slides into base she slides on her right leg. When she is sitting on the counter in the garage it is her left leg that is facing the camera, which is not the leg she slid into home plate on.

Corrected entry: In the final shot with Victoria at the prom, her hair is in an up-do; but right when the credits begin to roll and she walks down the stairs, her hair is down.

Correction: You see Victoria reach up and undo her "up-do" before her hair falls.

Twilight mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Bella is in the hospital, in the close-up of her face, the breathing tubes are right by her eyes, but when the shot is further from her face, the tubes are on her cheeks. (01:38:20)

More trivia for Twilight

Question: When Edward and Bella were by the lockers at school, how come Edward couldn't read Bella?

Answer: Edward is able to read anyone's mind "except" for Bella's. He cannot understand why and that confuses and frustrates him. It is learned later that Bella has an unknown ability to block any mental intrusion. That is why Aro could not see Bella's memories and why Jane was unable to mentally inflict pain on her in "Twilight: New Moon."

raywest

Answer: Edward can't read Bellas mind because of an invisible barrier that protects her from mind effects. After she became a vampire, she was actually able to transfer the barrier to protect people. However she had to train to control the power.
