Hard Day's Night (1964)
Continuity mistake: In all the overhead helicopter shots the shadows are very long. The shots on the ground have less of a shadow indicating they were done several hours later. (00:37:50 - 00:38:45)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Hard Day's Night (1964)
Factual error: When they sing "I Should Have Known Better" look at Paul's left wrist - he's wearing a metal ID bracelet. Anyone who plays guitar knows that they jangle against the strings. He makes sure in any real live performances that it is tucked up in his sleeve away from the strings. (00:13:40 - 00:34:20)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Hard Day's Night (1964)
Continuity mistake: Wilfrid Brambell asks Paul to sign a Beatle picture and he uses a ballpoint pen. Later, he copies them over using the master copy that The Beatles signed with ballpoint pens. Their signatures are now different (done with a thick felt marker) so they can stand out better in the black and white shot. (00:09:10 - 00:45:50)

Hard Day's Night (1964)
Continuity mistake: When Paul's grandfather is below the stage the pictures are on his left. As he emerges on the stage the pictures are now on his right. (00:46:00)

Hard Day's Night (1964)
Continuity mistake: In this scene George passes a poster that reads "Hughes and Macready". Two shots later it's back in a different place place. (00:42:10)
27th Aug 2005
Hard Day's Night (1964)
Continuity mistake: The stage lift that Paul's grandfather is sitting on while signing the pictures is larger, and a different color that the stage lift he comes up on in the middle of the play. (00:45:45)

Hard Day's Night (1964)

Hard Day's Night (1964)
Continuity mistake: When the Beatles run out into the field it's an overcast day. In the very next scene the sun is shining. (00:37:50)
27th Aug 2005
Hard Day's Night (1964)
Continuity mistake: Watch the clock on a wall. Six minutes of the movie go by but that clock hasn't moved one minute. (00:39:50 - 00:46:25)
Suggested correction: The clock could be broken.
This is pure speculation, not a valid correction.
While it's possible the correction was done without viewing the scene/movie, a clock not moving (or showing the wrong time) isn't a valid mistake unless the same clock is shown working in the scene. The original mistake does not indicate the clock is working or that the time changes.
