Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when Anna and the King say good-bye it is late evening, but when they dance the sky is bright and it looks like dawn. (02:15:00)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: Tuptim's, the king's new concubine's hair is a very obvious wig. The reason may be that for the second half of the film she had to shave her head and the scenes weren't shot in order. (00:32:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: On the boat trip Anna's parting has a little twist in front. When she gets off the boat her parting is straight. (00:42:05)

NancyFelix

Factual error: All members of the European orchestra at the banquet look as if they have their own, real-life haircuts, rather than appropriate for the period. (01:03:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the king's daughter dies her head falls back into her father's arm. When the camera shows the king's face one sees a bit of the girl's still upright head. (01:14:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where the king's daughter dies her temple hair changes from shot to shot. (01:14:50)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: When Chowfa jumps from the wall to escape he injures his shin in a way which looks impossible the way he falls. (01:29:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Anna and the king meet on the beach at night her long open hair is red. For the rest of the film it's ash blonde. (01:20:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the caning scene two different canes are used, look at the tip. (01:38:45)

NancyFelix

Audio problem: When Tuptim's servant comes to ask Anna for help her Thai words are not in line with her lip movement but dubbed. (01:33:20)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: In the caning scene most of the injuries on Tuptim's back are visibly painted. Only a few look like real caning marks. (01:38:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Lustig's murderer enters the subway car through the connecting door. After the stabbing he runs back and tries to leave through an exit next to this door. However, in the previous shots Lustig and Finn were standing right at that exit, which means that the stabbing shot was taken at a different spot than where the two protagonists were shown before, i.e. it was taken farther away from the connecting door. (01:33:30)

NancyFelix

Plot hole: How on earth did Lustig's killer get on the subway, when the three guys who were after him couldn't? (01:34:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Lustig comes to Finn's appartment he reveals his identity by replaying the scene in the water, when they first met. Right next to Finn's head you see a decorative mobile with vigorously swinging birds. In all other shots the mobile is completely motionless and in quite a distance from the spot where this conversation takes place. (01:25:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the drunken Finn is shouting in front of Mrs. Dinsmoor's NY house he is holding a full liquor bottle in the left hand, then he empties it out, holding in his right hand, and finally he throws away a miraculously refilled bottle with his left hand again. (01:18:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Finn runs to Ping's restaurant to meet Estella he is almost hit by a car. You can see that all other cars, which are scattered along the road, aren't moving. (01:08:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Thrall appears first she is called Annette. In the gallery scene she is called Erica. (01:03:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In most shots in the hotel room the houses you can see through the windows are quite far away, like across a wide street. Only in one shot, when Estella stands nude in front of the window, there is suddenly a window only a few meters away, through which one can see an Indian woman with her daughter, surprisingly unaware of the naked Estella. (00:54:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Estella gets dressed after being painted in the hotel room, she doesn't put her bra back on. On the other hand, when she puts on her sexy panties she pulls it over another pair of long black underpants that she didn't wear when she came. (00:55:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Finn grabs a painting board to frantically start painting the nude Estella there is no paper clipped on. A few shots later there is paper, which should have been visible also from the perspective of the earlier shot. (00:54:00)
