Three Kings (1999)

Revealing mistake: When they find the paper map sticking out the Iraqi soldier's bottom it is neatly rolled up and straight. One should imagine it being quite crumpled after having spent some time in this particular hiding place. (00:08:00)

Continuity mistake: When Dorothy kills herself by reversing her car down a cliff there is not even a dummy in the car when it's shown falling. (01:05:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dorothy kills herself she reverses twice. The first time she just touches the fence and stops. The second time, when she breaks through the fence and goes down the cliff, she comes again from a distance. Also some trees that were in the backdrop the first time are gone the second time. (01:05:30)

Continuity mistake: After the FBI agents ask for David at Mr. Saltman's shop they get back into their car which is covered with snow. In the next shot most of the snow is gone. (00:55:50)

Continuity mistake: When Larry is burning his books he throws one at Dorothy who is looking out of the window. The upper right part of a window pane breaks, but in the next shot the left side is broken. (00:11:20)

Crazy in Alabama (1999)

Continuity mistake: When a photographer takes a shot of a black girl bumping into Peejoe their movement is halted to indicate the moment when the picture is taken, and they look into opposite directions. Then the picture is shown, and here they both look into the camera. (00:48:00)

Crazy in Alabama (1999)

Continuity mistake: When the black community marches to the pool in broad daylight you hear Taylor's father's speech at the poolside already in voice-over. Then it cuts over to the arrival at the pool, and it is totally dark. The plot doesn't suggest that the march was interrupted somewhere. (00:45:40)

Factual error: When Lucille meets her driver Norman for the first time she reads his name on a name plate from a distance that requires superhuman vision. (00:42:35)

Crazy in Alabama (1999)

Revealing mistake: When Lucille sees her children through the prison window the bars must have been copied in later. In slow motion you see that they are transparent. (01:20:50)

Crazy in Alabama (1999)

Continuity mistake: When Lucille and Harry Hall drive up the mountains and stop at a vista point they drive across a stretched, rather even area. When the camera angle changes there is a hill behind the car, and there is no road or even dirt road where they came from. (01:03:50)

Crazy in Alabama (1999)

Revealing mistake: Check the scene in slow motion when Peejoe's eye gets damaged by a stone flying off from a lawn mower. The eye doesn't get hurt in the shot when it is hit by the stone, and a close-up shot of the flying stone is reversed, i.e. it's actually flying into and not out of the lawn mower, in an angle where it couldn't be just popping up and down. (00:41:00)

Crazy in Alabama (1999)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Toula's sister drops the menus on the floor you see the same extra with a huge greenish rain overcoat walking back and forth outside at least 5 times. (00:10:35)

Continuity mistake: On the surveillance monitor there are lying two books, the upper one with a black binding. In a close-up of the monitor you see only a part of the book with the black binding, and the other book is gone. (00:06:50)
