Continuity mistake: In the first 1968 section, where Noodles rents a car and drives back to his old neighbourhood, watch the background of the wide shot as he is stopping the car. In the close-up that follows when Noodles gets out, two girls have appeared, hanging around a doorway, who were not to be seen the moment before.

Once Upon a Time in America (1984)
Directed by: Sergio Leone
Starring: Robert De Niro, James Woods, Danny Aiello, Joe Pesci, Burt Young, Treat Williams, Elizabeth McGovern
Continuity mistake: When Noodles is raping Roberta in the car, her socks are pale brown-grey, then camera angle changes, and they are black, and then they are grey-brown again.
Revealing mistake: When a man is shot in the head, the bullet hits his hat, and it's very obvious there's no real bullet wound, his hat just opens and reveals a red hat he's wearing.
Police Chief Aiello: I'm the chief of police, not the chief of the people.
Young Noodles: You'll put up, and you'll shut up! You hear nothing, and you see nothing! Just like you did for Bugsy.
Question: It has to be an opium dream because - how can a suitcase remain in a locker in Grand Central or Penn Station for 35 years?
