Safety Last! (1923)

Continuity mistake: With a piece of white chalk, Harold Lloyd writes "kick me" in reverse on one of the columns of a department store. Harold later leans against the column and the words appear on the back of his coat. A young boy kicks Harold and as Harold turns to walk away, the words have disappeared.

Continuity mistake: As Harold scales a six-story building, the background is of a busy Los Angeles street with a department store and other businesses. When Harold reaches the fifth floor, the background is a completely different street.

Other mistake: As Harold begins to scale the DeVore Department Store building in Los Angeles, the intersection shown in the background is 10th Street and Broadway. In later scenes, it is 9th Street and Broadway. In the final scenes, it is 6th Street and Spring Street.
