Deliberate mistake: When Larry comes inside the house (right after Kirsty encounters the cenobites and Frank and Julia discuss getting him a new skin), he is absolutely bone dry... but we can hear a steady, heavy downpour outside when he opens the door. Seems like they added a rain sound effect in post for a creepy ambiance even though it wasn't shot with that in mind. (01:09:35)

Audio problem: When Julia and Frank are talking after Kirsty first encounters the cenobites, if you look closely, Frank's words don't quite match his lip movements a few times. It's especially noticeable when he snaps out "What I care about is a new skin!," which doesn't match in the slightest. (01:09:15)

Trivia: Musetta Vander, who plays Miss French/She-Mantis, was very squeamish about the scene where she makes an "insect sandwich" with crickets. Not only was she grossed out by having to handle real crickets, but as an animal lover, she was incredibly worried that she'd accidentally kill one of them when she folded the bread over. According to Vander, no crickets were killed during the filming of the scene. (When the showed her eating the sandwich, they switched it out with another cricket-less one).

Revealing mistake: When Joey gets "cut" by the chain in the hospital in the beginning, pay attention. In the shot where she gets "cut," you can plainly see all that happens is the chains slap a little blood on her ankle without any signs of actual damage. Then, a few shots later, there's a very quick closeup of the "cut," and you can see that all they did was paint a little gooey "blood" over the top of her pantyhose, which aren't ripped through at all. (Nor is there a visible cut, either).

Continuity mistake: When Kirsty is fighting Frank in the attic, as she grabs the puzzle box, watch closely. It's very subtle and hard to notice, but the box rotates about 45° between cuts when it punches from the medium shot to the closeup of Kirsty grabbing it.

Trivia: The production hired a practising witch to be a consultant. However, after being hired, the witch began making insane demands, including wanting a percentage of the gross, some merchandizing rights, and an additional $250,000 on top of what she was already being paid. After the production understandably refused, she began screaming in tongues over the phone and "cursed" the production, then began lawyering up. The studio heads freaked out, and paid her just to get her to leave the production.

Audio problem: When Steve says "What?" to Kirsty at the pet-store, it's pretty painfully obvious that the line was dubbed in during post. The audio is much more loudly spoken than he appears to be speaking. (Several characters were redubbed with American accents in post. Presumably this is the reason for the inconsistency). (00:45:33)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Frank holds up the puzzle box to show Julia, the box rotates in his hand instantly between edits when it punches in to a closeup. (First, it's the side with the large circle in the center facing out, then it's the side with the much smaller circle facing out.) As the scene cuts back and forth between the two angles, this error keeps occurring. (00:47:18)

Audio problem: When the cranky lady at the pet-store demands "Where's the manager?!," the audio and her lips don't quite match.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Julia first encounters the resurrected Frank, as Frank speaks, you can see where the makeup ends around his mouth, and see nice, normal flesh inside his cheeks a few times, even though he's meant to be a gross, rotting shell of a human.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: After Larry stumbles into the attic, he bleeds a pretty large puddle onto the floor. He then stumbles towards Julia, and in the wide high-angle shot, we see no blood on the floor whatsoever, even though it should be visible.

Audio problem: When the moving man says "That your daughter?" to Larry, the audio doesn't match the lip movements in the slightest, revealing the line was dubbed. (Several characters were redubbed with American accents in post. Presumably this is the reason for the inconsistency).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Larry and Julia are checking the house at the beginning, Larry flicks a switch, which illuminates a statue with red lights. In the wide shots where Larry is in front of the statue, the light on him is totally normal and there's also plenty of space to his right. In the medium-profile shots of Larry, he's bathed in red light, and there's a wall only a yard or two to his right.

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When Frank's skin is skewered by the hooks in the beginning, it's pretty clear that the skin is just a thin sheet of flesh-colored latex with some fake blood and "meat" behind it. The skin is far too thin and "stretchy" and seems way too "detached" from the tissue behind it.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Frank solves the puzzlebox in the beginning, right before the chains shoot out, there's a wide and then a closeup shot of Frank looking down. In the wide shot, his head is only very slightly tilted down, and he has a somewhat blank look on his face. When it cuts into the closeup, his head is suddenly tilted down a good 45°, and he has a more intense look on his face.

Trivia: The barman at The Boiler Room, and the subsequent cenobite he turns into ("Barbie"), is played by Peter Atkins, the film's screenwriter, in a small supporting cameo role. (Albeit his voice was dubbed over by the director, since Atkins wasn't around during looping, kind of making it a two-part cameo).

Visible crew/equipment: When Joey enters the nightclub at the beginning of the film, you can see the camera's shadow pass over the doorman on the right side of screen as it follows her inside. (Bonus: The doorman also looks directly into the lens for a second.)

TedStixon

Revealing mistake: When the cenobites appear to Kirsty, you can unfortunately see where Pinhead's makeup abruptly ends around his mouth, just behind his lips, as he speaks.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: The blood smears on Kirsty's shirt change slightly between scenes from when Kirsty is in the attic to when she is walking outside later after fleeing. It's the same shirt and the same day, so it makes no sense why they'd be different.

TedStixon

Audio problem: When Kirsty first encounters Frank, he says "It's Frank! It's uncle Frank!" When he says "uncle Frank," the audio and his lip-movements don't quite match.
