Revealing mistake: When Antonia is cutting bread in the homeless shelter kitchen she gets startled and knocks an earthen pot on the ground. However, it doesn't look very accidental as she grabs the pot and throws it down. (00:06:55)

Stille Liebe (2001)

Paint Your Wagon (1969)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the town collapse, a sincerely drunk Ben dives head-on into a tub where a lady (in her underclothes?) is just enjoying a bath. Propelled by Ben's momentum the tub with both passengers slides down the slippery planks and splashes into the river, while Ben rearranges himself into a comfortable sitting position between shots. If I wasn't completely mistaken also the lady changes her outfit, since the embroidery is missing when they float along. (02:23:35)

Paint Your Wagon (1969)
Revealing mistake: In the climactic scene when the whole town ends up in Ben's and Pardner's tunnel system, including the brothel where young Horton is once again exploring his limits, the bed with Horton and his lady of choice falls on the street. When it topples over it's obvious that both Horton and his sparring partner are tied to the bed. (02:23:20)

Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Kate tells Leopold that her Sundays are spoilt because the day after is Monday, she cuddles herself against his chest twice in successive shots. (01:21:10)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Kate comes back home after the punctured dinner with J.J., her hair is freshly done. Even if she had ample chance to do this, it's out of the question that the rather messy style she had chosen for the dinner was not intentional on such an important occasion, and there was no reason to change this afterwards. (01:00:25)

Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the hospital Stuart tries to grab his neighbor's phone. When he detaches him from his life support and alerts the nurse he holds the receiver in his right hand. The camera changes to a shot from behind, and he picks up the receiver again with his right hand. (00:39:50)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: During the dinner at her place Kate has both her sleeves pushed up to the elbows, but after she takes some dishes to the kitchen there's one brief shot from behind where the right sleeve is pulled down. (00:37:40)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: At the dinner at Kate's Charlie stands up to prove his manners. His fork is empty, but when we see him standing there's some food on it. (00:37:20)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: Hector, the little boy who spends his afternoons at Stuart's place watching TV, is eating from a bag of 'pirate booty' in his lap when Leopold sees him. When he offers Leopold some, the bag is suddenly next to him on the sofa. (00:31:10)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Other mistake: On the first day at Stuart's apartment Leopold wears some green 19th century trousers he wasn't wearing during his time travel, and which surely weren't part of Stuart's wardrobe. (00:30:05)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Bart lays a turd at a tree, the leash is wrapped tightly around the trunk holding him back, but after he is done he moves on forward, while the leash disappears at the top of the frame. (00:25:00)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Leopold leaves the apartment with Bart, the leash roles itself up in several loops between shots. (00:23:20)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: In the first heated discussion between Leopold and Stuart a pen suddenly appears behind Stuart's right ear. (00:17:15)
7th Jun 2004
Kate & Leopold (2001)
Continuity mistake: When Stuart is on the phone with Kate and tries to explain who Leopold is and why he is with him, the clock on his wall moves back by about two minutes when she sits down. (00:13:25)

Breaking the Waves (1996)
Other mistake: In the scene where Bess' body is thrown into the sea there's a shot of Jan's head injury. The area around the well healed scars is freshly shaven and shiny. Such a long time after the last surgery there would be at least some stubble. (01:25:15)
3rd Jun 2004
Breaking the Waves (1996)
Continuity mistake: When Bess goes to the ship the first time one of the men cuts across the back of her blouse, starting from the right shoulder. In all later shots the cut starts at the left shoulder. (02:00:10)
3rd Jun 2004
Breaking the Waves (1996)
Continuity mistake: When the paralyzed Jan tries to commit suicide he holds the pill jar between his left arm and the back of his right hand. When it cuts to a close-up he pushes his right knuckles against the jar. (01:12:50)
3rd Jun 2004
Breaking the Waves (1996)
Continuity mistake: During Jan's birthday celebration the way his pillows are arranged and the postcard is fixed on the wall behind his bed change back and forth. (01:08:10)
3rd Jun 2004
Breaking the Waves (1996)
Continuity mistake: In the accident scene on the oil rig, the oil fountain stops completely in the shot where Jan lifts up his friend. (00:49:05)
