Continuity mistake: Billy has a magic baseball uniform - at the end of the movie, he steals home again, sliding face first into the plate on his stomach. Yet when he's walking off the field with Robin and Appleby, there are no dirt marks on his uniform.

Continuity mistake: Billy's sunglasses disappear between shots, when him and Katie are driving along and then their parents pull alongside them.
Katie Chandler: See that's all I want to do Billy-Boy. I want to leap of this pier and fly high in the air with hang with the wind and drift through the clouds, and at night, with the Moon full and the sea wild, I meet my lover high on a cliff and we'd swoop down into the ocean and swim all the way touch the bottom up through the dark water and break the surface. Then we'd fly to Jamaica for Pina Colatas... God, I wish I could do that.
