Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, the therapist in the first part of the conversation (before she gets her heels) holds her right hand on her bosom in the close-ups, while it is lowered in the wider angle.(00:40:10)
Continuity mistake: Bill Murray and Adam Driver approach Hermit Bob's campfire; in the close-up, the skinned rabbit is laid out exactly the opposite way than in the wider shots - head to the right, legs to the left.(00:01:25)
Continuity mistake: When Alva gets in the kitchen during the birthday party, Owen has not yet touched the chicken, but he's conveniently got a big mouthful of a drumstick in the next close-up, for comedy effect.(00:16:50)
Continuity mistake: The cop giving chase to Rick and Muffy can't stand being stuck at the railway crossing and takes off. On the sidewalk, a little family (dad mom and baby in a stroller) has suddenly appeared.(00:40:20)
Continuity mistake: Alva tells Willie the story of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis cupping her face. The handkerchief sticks out quite a bit in the wider shot but is neatly contained in her hand in the close-up.(00:20:05)
Continuity mistake: During the whole conversation with her mom at her bedside, Alva's head in the close-ups is resting in a different spot than the wider shots - just look at the colored cloth under her head.(00:29:30)
Continuity mistake: Alva walks Owen out of the railway office. They pass by JJ and the local manager sitting in the street having their lunch, but in a POV shot that follows, they have yet to move past them.(01:00:00)
Other mistake: When Mrs. Brahms is talking to Mr. Granger, Wendy Richards' voice cracks stifling laughter when she says "Mrs. Slocombe didn't like to take down your trousers without asking you first."(00:18:00)
Character mistake: Breaking the news of war to the Sayers, Allnut tells them that the war is involving smaller nations like "Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Spain." Spain was not amongst the participants of WW1.(00:10:00)
Continuity mistake: At the night club, when Alva faces her Mama hitting her hands away as she invites JJ to dance, she has her left arm down in the wider shots, but stretched out of frame in the closer view.(01:22:25)
Factual error: Throughout the whole movie, plenty of cars from the police cars to Marianne's rentals, sport regular Michigan license plates, front and rear. Michigan does not issue front license plates.
Continuity mistake: Alva 'mistakenly' enters Owen's room. In the side views showing both characters, Robert Redford's hand is on his belly, while shot from the other side his hand rests on the mattress.(00:25:10)
Continuity mistake: When Alva is listening to Mr. Johnson's proposal to get her a place of her own in Memphis, she does it with her left arm lowered, or up like she had it in the first part of the scene.(01:20:40)
Other mistake: The episode takes place on March 2nd, 1973 (date of the newspaper shown by Mr. Mash), but in Mr. Rumbold's office the sale chart for the month of March is already fully filled up.
Revealing mistake: To kill the second and third guy at the food court, Eddie does a rather unlikely slide across the floor. His shirt is pristine even in the back, despite having sailed across soda.(00:57:40)
Continuity mistake: Rose calls a drunk Charlie "a coward." He turns around, and you can see the difference in the way he wears his ascot, way wide on his right side of the neck, as opposed to before.(00:42:10)
Continuity mistake: During the mistaken cash withdrawal at the teller, the lady descending the stairs in the background is at a different height in the different shots.(00:50:40)
Other mistake: This adaptation opens with a nice fake Pathe Gazette news reel. The voice says that "last year" Farley sold a record 5 million pies, and that the new wing of the plant is due to open. At the inauguration, there's a banner behind him saying "1885-1935" and he's saying that in 1935 they sold more pies than at any point in their history, and he gives the kind of speech you give at the beginning of a year, trying to set a new record while still on the hot trail of the previous. At the same time, Miss Lemon tells Hastings that the typewriter broke 'last Easter' and she burst out with Poirot that she has been complaining 'for the last six months', which would put the event at the end of the year.
Plot hole: Nobody hears the sound of a gun being fired past a door they were waiting almost in front of, and the police cannot tell apart a shot fired point blank by one fired 20 feet away and probably at a very sharp angle. Moreover, the bleeding should be all over his face, since leaning the way it is shown in this adaptation is most likely to lead the victim to fall over, and even leave bloodstains out of the window and on the ground below, which someone would have noticed in the crowded factory.
