Continuity mistake: After Carol gets beaten up Bobby carries her back home. Her shirt is pulled out of her skirt and you see her skin. Later, when Ted fixes her arm she is wearing an undershirt fully tucked in. (01:13:15)

Continuity mistake: When Bobby comes to say good-bye to Carol her silhouette is seen through a bedsheet. She takes a piece of cloth from the basket, lifts it a little but drops her arms when Bobby comes closer. In the next, close-up shot she is looking at Bobby with her empty hands up in the air. Besides, the clotheslines look way too high for her. (01:26:15)

The Postman (1997)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the postman gallops by the country house full blast and then comes back to pick up the letter from the boy's hand, you hear hoof sounds for long enough to take him hundreds of metres away, while the camera is on the boy. But when he is actually shown stopping to turn his horse around he has only come as far as the corner of the premises, maybe 20 meters away. (01:53:05 - 01:54:05)
