When Georgette is introduced, there are nine steps initially, but eleven steps appear instead as she descends to make herself up in the following shot. And later on when all of the strays trick Winston into thinking nobody is in the room, the staircase has eight steps. (00:33:00 - 00:45:05)
Continuity mistake: During the song 'Perfect Isn't Easy', when Georgette is going to her big pillow by all the pictures, there is a pink little pillow near it with nothing on it. Next shot there is another picture that she picks up that is on the pillow. (00:34:15)

Audio problem: When Fagin is on the shipyard dock getting ready to tell Sykes his debt repayment plan, he walks over to the door and reaches for an intercom buzzer. Fagin never actually presses a button, but somehow the buzzer goes off right before Sykes is heard on the loudspeaker. Instead, he simply touches a random spot on the door and a buzzer sounds in response. (00:50:55)
