Now and Then

Continuity mistake: When Teeny gives the War Veteran a drink, when she hands the bottle back to Chrissy, she changes from holding it with the bottom of the bottle toward Chrissy, to holding it with the lid pointing at Chrissy. (00:43:20)

Continuity mistake: When Sam arrives home after the baseball game, she tucks her hair behind her ear twice between shots.

Continuity mistake: When the four girls are back at the graveyard for the third time trying to talk to Dear Johnny and put him back in his grave, they see the lights and the headstone float out in front of them, with nothing holding onto it. Then in the next shot there are chains around it, from the tractor that is holding it in mid air.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when the old Teeny and Samantha are swinging on the swings, they're rocking next to each other. The next scene, one is in the front, the other's in the back, then they're next to each other again. (00:09:00)

Continuity mistake: When the girls are biking to green field, Samantha's hair is down, then once they go under the bridge where the train is, her hair is up (she puts her hair up later when they're going up the library steps), then later on the road her hair is down.

Continuity mistake: When the girls talk at the picnic table, there are some chickens in the background that disappear between shots. (00:29:05)

Continuity mistake: When the girls spy on the boys skinny-dipping, the amount of shadows cast on the log that they spy behind constantly changes. (00:34:10)

Continuity mistake: When Roberta falls over on the road after missing her dive onto Scott on his bike, a man ahead with a briefcase hurries across the road before one of the other Wormers can cycle into him, and another one of the Wormers cycles ahead of him. After Roberta vows revenge on the Wormers, and when Scott yells back at her, the man is seen crossing the road again at a steady pace with all four of the Wormers coming before him.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie Chrissy is curling her hair, her hair remains tightly curled while in the house. When she goes out to greet the other girls her hair looks brushed out, definitely not tight curls. Then, when they all go inside, her hair is back to tight curls.

Continuity mistake: Between the first shots of Sam at dinner, she lays her fork on her plate, yet in the next shot it's jumped back into her hand. (00:54:15)

Now and Then mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: In the big game of Red Rover at the beginning of the film, as Bobby runs over to the four girls, in one shot all of the four girls tape markers on the grass are extremely noticeable. Sam is standing on a red one, Chrissy on a blue one, Roberta on a green one and Teeny on a yellow one. They're obviously gone in all the following shots. (00:01:35)

Teeny: Chrissy, truth or dare?
Chrissy: Truth.
Teeny: Have you ever been french kissed?
Chrissy: Are you kidding? I don't want to get pregnant!
Roberta: You can't get pregnant from french-kissing!
Chrissy: I know that, beetle-brain, but it's common knowledge that if you tongue-kiss a boy, he automatically thinks you'll do the deed with him. They can't help it. They're driven. It's the male curse.
