The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Continuity mistake: As Bella walks down the aisle during the wedding ceremony, a single strand of her hair has gotten caught in the right-hand corner of her mouth, then it disappears, then it is back again. (This is harder to see on DVD than it was on the movie screen.) (00:13:40)

Continuity mistake: When Jacob packs meets with Sam's pack to distract them so the Cullen's can hunt all of Sam's pack except for Sam is talking to all of Jacobs pack. Two wolves which appear to be Quill and Jared get up and chase some of the Cullens which doesn't make any sense cause all the wolves were meeting with Jacob except Sam. (01:33:11 - 01:34:35)

Continuity mistake: When Jacob runs outside the Cullen's house to stop the wolves from fighting them. He leaps off the steps and runs towards them. Before the shot changes he is right beside Edward and another wolf, however, in the close up shot of him saying "Stop!" suddenly he's in front of Edward. (01:40:40)

Continuity mistake: When Edward and Bella are in the taxi in Brazil, he has his wedding ring on. In the shot when he kisses Bella in the street, the ring is suddenly gone.

Continuity mistake: Charlie hands Bella off to Edward at the altar, she is carrying her bouquet, the next shot is from behind them, Bella, Edward, and the pastor in the shot, she still has her flowers. In the next frame, from the front, it's Bella, Edward and the pastor's back, flowers are gone, and they never show up again. She didn't hand them off, there was no one to hand them too.

Continuity mistake: When Jacob and his pack meet with Sam's pack, Seth and Leah are standing behind Jacob the entire time. At the end of the scene, when Sam's pack leaves, we cut to a shot of Jacob from the same angle as the previous shots where Seth and Leah were, and they are gone, with no indication that they left.

Continuity mistake: As Edward and Jacob are working to revive Bella just after she gives birth, Bella's eyes keep changing from being open and unblinking to tightly closed. The "making of" documentary on the "DVD Extra", showed a life-size dummy of an emaciated Bella with closed eyes that was used in more physical scenes. You can tell it's the dummy whenever Bella is shown with her eyes shut.

Continuity mistake: When Edward transforms Bella, he bites her neck first, then her arms, and so on. In the very next close up of Bella, there are no bite marks in her neck at all.

Continuity mistake: When Edward is showing Bella the bruises on her arm and shoulder, his wedding ring is on his right hand. They are looking in a mirror, but the camera is on Edward, not the reflection.

Continuity mistake: When Bella is first seen pregnant, she is wearing grey pants, a blue shirt and navy jacket, Edward is wearing a brown shirt, and Carlisle is wearing a blue mock turtleneck. On what is supposed to be the next day (and after having seen them wearing different clothing), all three are wearing the same clothes again while in the library/makeshift hospital room. They are discussing a cracked rib that was causing Bella pain the day before. These scenes were obviously meant to be back-to-back, but were rearranged in editing.

Continuity mistake: After Renesmee's birth, there are two smudges of blood on Edward's right cheek. While Edward works to transform Bella, the blood spots appear and disappear between shots.

Continuity mistake: At the end, just after Renesmee's birth, the blood pattern on the front of Edward's blue shirt changes within minutes from being one solid red mass to more mottled.

Revealing mistake: Notice when Edward picks up Bella at the island. He kind of stumbles like Bella is heavy although he has superhuman strength.

Question: In the end credits scene, what is it that the Volturi wanted? If it was Renesmee, is that a mistake, since they were informed about it in part 2?

MikeH

Answer: They want Alice because she can see into the future, which would be a significant advantage to the Volturi. Aro destroys other covens, sparing the one member who has some special ability.
