Revealing mistake: Just before Walter throws Lisa through the window, you can tell that Lisa is a stuntman wearing a wig.
Prince of Darkness (1987)
Directed by: John Carpenter
Starring: Donald Pleasence, Victor Wong, Jameson Parker, Lisa Blount
Continuity mistake: When Walter is being rescued from the room he was trapped in, through the hole in the wall, we see the outside of the hole and Walter's body is outside except for his legs, and we see the hands trying to pull him back. In the next shot inside the room, Walter is again inside except for his head and arms. It repeats several times. (01:28:30)

Suggested correction: This is incorrect. Walter and Lisa are wearing similar clothes, making it look like he is in both rooms at once. Instead, as he is almost completely in the other room, Lisa is close behind him.
Continuity mistake: Susan and Lisa are standing perfectly still for a long time awaiting the transformation of the possessed girl, yet Lisa's hair goes from being behind her back to over her front then back again when the possessed girl "wakes" up.
Brian: What happened? You talk numbers, you get romantic. You talk people, you clam up.
Catherine: Just a little miscue, that's all.
Professor Edward Birack: The hardest thing to hear... for any of us... is something we don't agree with.
Father Loomis: Why weren't we told the truth?
Professor Edward Birack: Without the technology to confirm? It would have been another legend.
Father Loomis: But he was OUR prisoner, not yours.
