Other mistake: When Alfredo projects the movie through the window on the facade on the far side of the piazza, the picture could not be as well-focused as we see it. Besides, there would not be a picture on the theater screen (at best a very faint one), resulting in a mayhem in the audience. (00:46:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During the exam the ink stain on Alfredo's cheek disappears and reappears. (00:37:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Alfredo tries to cheat during the exam the two supervisors in the background keep switching positions. (00:36:25)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: There's a chime hanging outside Salvatore's bedroom window that's too far away to cast such a small shadow over his face when he lies in bed and thinks of his childhood. (00:05:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first scene, when Salvatore's mother tries once again to call him, the arrangement of lemons in the bowl changes. (00:03:05)

NancyFelix

Visible crew/equipment: When Michael gets out of the house to dump the liquor bottles, a crew member on his knees peeks around the corner through the door at the very end of the shot. (00:49:50)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: After the assembly where Grace speaks to the Dogville people she walks home chained to her wheel. However, the wheel that's supposed to be so heavy that she can hardly move around gets pulled along with the chain hanging through a little. (02:05:10)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: Before the Thanksgiving dinner the air is full of seeds which are supposed to be carried here from far-away meadows. However, all seeds fall down absolutely vertically like light snow in calm air, and there is no hint of the wind that blew them here. Plus, when the people sit down for dinner the seeds disappear between shots. (01:03:10 - 01:05:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After Grace has been accepted to stay at Dogville, Tom, the keen observer of the townfolk, takes her around and gives her some background information about all the people who live there. Grace learns that Ben pays a visit to the whorehouse once a month, but later, when he rapes her on the apple truck he tells her that he goes there once a week. (00:24:25 - 01:51:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Tom plays checkers with Bill and makes his last, winning move, there's a cut to a wide angle where the pieces on the board are arranged differently. (00:08:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Paul D. returns to Sethe at the end of the movie she lies in her bed too weak to move, but between shots her head changes from leaning to the right to leaning to the left. (02:31:10)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Howard and Buglar return home after years, it's winter and everything is covered with snow, but neither their nor Sethe's breath is cloudy. (01:54:35)

NancyFelix

Factual error: When Beloved wakes up and starts talking to Denver for the first time there's a close-up of her face where her contact lenses are visible. (00:38:40)

NancyFelix

Audio problem: Some time after Paul D. has settled down at Sethe's, she comes home and knocks on the door. Denver calls out "Who's there? Mama? Mama?", and the second time she calls "Mama?" her mouth isn't moving. (00:20:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Paul D. arrives at Sethe's house for the first time they sit down on the porch. In all wide shots her two stiff braids are behind her shoulders, in all close-ups they are in front. (00:07:30)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: After Beloved's ghost throws the dog against the wall its eyeball hangs out. In some shots the dog's real eye is visible too. (00:01:30)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: At the end, when Nathan Zukerman talks to Faunia's ex on the frozen lake, there are no breathing clouds, while the sound of Nathan's boots in the snow suggests that it is bitterly cold. (01:33:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Coleman and Faunia meet for the first time she's working at a shop and about to close. He gets something from a telling machine and drives off home. In the next shot we see him somewhere in the woods driving past Faunia who is standing next to her stalled car, smoking, and giving the impression that she has been already waiting for a while. The question is, however, how she got ahead of him. (00:25:30)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: There have been many strange castings in movie history, but letting a character of African American descent, who is supposed to be light-skinned enough to pass as white, be played by blue-eyed Sir Anthony Hopkins, whose African roots, according to widely accepted ethnological theories, date some 40,000 years back, takes the cake. His young ego, played by Wentworth Miller, looks a lot more believable, but, luckily for him, the odds are close to zero that he will resemble Anthony Hopkins even faintly in 50 years from now.

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene little Antonia plays with the sunlight and a mirror piece. In most shots the reflections match the shape of the piece, but in one shot (on the barn) the reflection is perfectly round. (00:00:30)
