Continuity mistake: When the bombing scene is shown the first time Maurice breaks through the railing of the landing between the first floor, where he and Sarah were, and the ground floor. When Sarah tells her story and the bombing scene is replayed, we see her running down one full flight with an intact railing. She keeps running down and then comes to the spot where Maurice is lying on the steps. That means the second time there is one flight too many. (00:55:45)

Continuity mistake: When the bomb explodes next to Maurice's place he gets blown off the landing of the staircase. The way he 'takes off' he would have fallen on the ground, and there's no way that he would have landed as Sarah finds him, on the stairs and with his head pointing upwards. (00:46:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the bomb blast, when Sarah is about to leave, the blood on Maurice's left temple changes shape and size. (00:50:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, when Maurice and Henry meet after two years, rain comes pouring down. They go to Henry's house, and when they enter the hallway Maurice's formerly drenched coat is dry. (00:03:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Parkis the detective comes to give his first report Maurice is shaving. The shaving cream on Maurice's face keeps appearing and disappearing throughout the scene, most obviously when he looks aroud the corner. (00:23:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Maurice and Henry sit on the bench after the bar scene there's light on the left side of Maurice's face when we see them from the front, but no light at all when we see them from the side. (00:43:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Captain Smith says to Mr. Murdoch "let's stretch her legs" the light comes from the port side. When Murdoch enters the bridge the light comes from starboard. (00:29:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During the first meal on the Titanic (the one where Cal plucks Rose's cigarette from the holder) the stone on Rose's necklace changes between almost disappearing in her dress and about two inches above. (00:33:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rose attempts suicide she is holding onto the railing while standing on the outside. In some shots the black lace from her dress is held under her left hand, in some it isn't. (00:37:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rose slips during her suicide attempt and Jack grabs her right hand there's a shot from behind where her left hand is holding on to the second railing bar from the bottom. When the camera angle changes she is holding on to the bottom bar, and in the next shot again to the second. It's unimaginable that she would change her grip that frequently in this situation. (00:40:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On the day after Rose got the diamond she and Jack talk a walk on the deck. From the light on the deck you can tell that the sun is still fairly high up. When the camera angle changes and we see them from behind the deck is in the dark, and the sun is falling in almost horizontal. When they sit down to look at Jack's drawings the sun is higher again. (00:46:15 - 00:49:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when the safe is being opened, there's a close-up of the grinding wheel digging into the metal. In the next shot the crewman who does the job is only kneeling down, while the grinding sound is already there. (00:09:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Mr. Hundert's tie knot changes sometimes between shots, for example when he enters the teachers' meeting room after putting the boys to bed, or near the end of the movie when he goes to the bathroom after the contest at Sedgewick Bell's mansion. (00:11:40 - 01:28:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Hundert is seen twice rowing in the morning. Both times his hair doesn't have a touch of grey, in contrast to the rest of the movie. (00:13:05 - 00:51:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Sedgewick Bell arrives at the school he steps out of the car with his school bag in his hand. The camera cuts to Hundert's class, then back to Sedgewick, carrying no bag. (00:15:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the boys startle Mr. Hundert by clapping their books shut simultaneously his writing on the blackboard changes several times. The word 'named' which he wrote last appears in at least three different versions. (00:28:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Hundert gives Sedgewick one of his old study books. Sedgewick picks it up after Hundert leaves the room, and when the camera angle changes the book in his hands is turned by 90 degrees. (00:38:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Hundert tries to prove that he can still bat his tie changes several times between thrown over the shoulder and hanging down. (00:43:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Hundert smashes the window of Mr. Woodbridge's car with a baseball, the boy to his left is seen picking up his stuff twice before he escapes. (00:44:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: At the end of the last test for the Julius Caesar contest, when Sedgewick hands in his paper while all others have left already, the way the other students have left their chairs in the front row changes between shots. (00:47:05)
