Rent

Other mistake: Right before 'La Vie Boheme' in the Life Cafe, just after the host requests that the tables not be moved, Angel says 'Hey ROSIE, let's push these tables together.' Rosie is the name of the actress (Rosario Dawson,) the character's name is Mimi.

Other mistake: At the very beginning, when the lights rise above the cast you can see they're all equally spaced out and the light has the same brightness for each character. At the end of the song, the camera shoots to the back filming everyone from behind, note Mark, he's crammed in the corner next to Angel with out the same amount of space originally he started with and his light is very dim compared to the seven others. (00:02:45)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, Angel enters Mark's apartment with Tom and does her (his?) dance on the furniture. Notice that the long table has crumbs all over it. Fast forward one year later when Mimi is carried up to the apartment and placed on the table. Miraculously, the same crumbs are there. After her quick recovery, the crumbs are not only gone, but the table is polished. (00:28:40 - 02:00:00)
