Deliberate mistake: After Bud overhears the plans for Flipper, he decides to hide his dolphin. When he boards the skiff, there are two flipped wide shots before they head out. Note the reversed dock, launch, and "Whaler" on the skiff.
Continuity mistake: Bud is lying on a surf board, talking to Flipper. During different camera angles, his position on the board changes. He goes from the middle to almost the top. At the end of the scene, in the wide-shot, he's always to the end of the board. He also goes from being centered with a foot on each side of the board to being on the left-side with just that foot in the water. (00:13:20 - 00:14:20)
