Continuity mistake: When Ben drinks juice in the hospital his hand moves from the straw down to the bed between shots. (00:58:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The stone pillars in the middle of the arched windows of Luke's and Isabel's apartment is only visible from outside, not from inside, e.g. in the scene where Isabel helps Anna with her painting. In the scene where Ben calls his mom in hospital there are even two stone pillars. (00:49:35 - 00:53:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Jackie talks to Ben on Christmas Eve her hands are down, but when the camera angle changes she is fiddling with the strap of his jacket. (01:48:20)

NancyFelix

Factual error: Arthur and Jack walk by a movie theater where "Island of Lost Women" is shown, which was released in 1959. At this point of the movie we are still in 1957 - the cut to 1959 happens later. (01:03:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Jack cuts his index finger very badly with a circular saw, and in the next scene his finger is fully bandaged. Then, when he drinks with his friends at the bonfire, the bandage is gone, to be back on for the rest of the movie from the moment when he comes home for dinner after work at A&P. (01:31:15 - 01:33:50)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: In the turkey shoot the participants have five shots, but Dwight shoots only four times. (00:28:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Jack looks at the school forms which Arthur has given him, they stick out of the envelope in close up, but are tucked in all the way in the wide shots before and after. (01:27:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Jack and his friends release the car's handbrake, it's parked on a steep slope, but in the shot before, when the owner was washing it, the road was perfectly level. (00:19:55)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: Garriss compliments Marie on her new hair dye, but she is obviously wearing a blonde wig. (01:20:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Pépé remembers the moment when the Old Man told him how to become wealthy, the Old Man is exactly as old as when he meets Garriss decades later, shortly before he dies. (00:48:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Riton's shoes get run over by the train they stay on the tracks, but Garriss picks them up from about a meter away. (01:01:10)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: Steve's partner Angela has straight hair, but the stuntlady who doubles her in the city car ride has curly hair. (00:26:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Forrest sees Jenny at the anti-war demonstration in Washington D.C. he runs through the crowd towards the pond. We see that the gap between the people who let him through closes immediately after him, but in the last shot it remains wide open, obviously to allow a more dramatic view of Jenny's and Forrest's reunion. However, when the crowd is shown from the other side there's no gap at all. (01:04:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Lt. Dan gets lifted off the bed by the male nurse, the handle he was holding on to disappears when the camera cuts to Forrest - it was so low that it should be in the picture. (00:55:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the school principal shows the poster with the IQ requirements for regular schooling to Forrest's mother, the grip on his pencil changes back and forth in shots from the front and from behind. (00:07:50)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: In the beginning of the movie Salvatore's mother complains bitterly that she hasn't heard from him in 30 years, but she has a recent passport picture of him sticking in the frame of class photo. (01:39:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Salvatore is waiting night after night under his beloved's window he ticks off a 1954 calendar, but some time before that we saw adolescent movie aficionados masturbate over Brigitte Bardot in "Et Dieu... créa la femme", which was released in 1956. (00:59:10 - 01:19:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: The scars in Alfredo's face are sometimes smoother, sometimes more pronounced. (01:00:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Toto comes running to the cinema to help Alfredo he stumbles and falls flat on his belly. It cuts to a close-up when he gets up, and now he is lying on his back. (00:50:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the fire starts in the projector room Alfredo is standing in a heap of burning celluloid and his pants catch fire. Then the projector explodes knocking him unconscious. However, when Toto comes to rescue him Alfredo is lying on the floor, not burning anywhere and the fire not anywhere near him. (00:50:55)
