Continuity mistake: Curly's shirt is stained with clay, yet he hasn't been hit in the chest yet.
Pop Goes the Easel (1935)
Directed by: Del Lord
Starring: Larry Fine, Moe Howard, Curly Howard, Bobby Burns
Continuity mistake: Curly is about to throw a lump of clay, and a woman is posing in the background. The woman is almost directly to Curly's right, and Curly throws the clay straight ahead. The next shot shows the clay hitting the woman on the side of the face, which is completely impossible.
Revealing mistake: The same clip of Curly getting hit on the top of the head with a lump of clay is shown twice during the clay fight.
Trivia: One of the little girls playing hopscotch is Larry Fine's daughter.
