Hamster

Continuity mistake: When John wakes up in his room (which turns out to be falling through the sky) in the initial shots of him on the bed, the items (train models, books, etc.) on the bedside table continue to differ. (00:03:10)

Suggested correction: I just watched the scene in question, and he most certainly does not "blatantly put the hamster under the table." In fact, the scene is filmed in closeup and you can't see where he puts the hamster, but the motion of his arms seems to suggest he puts it directly down on top of the table.

Wrong. I watched this scene carefully and I saw young Freddy hiding the hamster under the table. It's much too obvious, even without slow motion. This entry is correct. This is a mistake.

Continuity mistake: At the start of the film on the plane, there is a woman sitting next to John Doe whose glasses go from being on her face, to then hanging down on straps around her neck, then back on her face between shots, just before she flies out the plane roof. (00:02:45)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When Freddy controls Spencer to the top of the stairs, Spencer stands right at the edge of the top stair, and leans forwards. As he does so, if you look at his shadow on the wall you can blatantly see the shadow of the harness and thick wire attached to him, keeping him from falling. (00:45:55)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When John and Maggie are at the old school, there is a teacher talking to a class which isn't really there. The teacher stands by the left side of the blackboard, which has large crosses drawn on it, in rows. It cuts to a closeup and the crosses are now smaller and more scattered. (00:27:25)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When John tries to stop the van while Maggie is driving, because he sees the small girl in the road, as the van screeches around the road, you can see the road is covered in tyremarks from previous takes. (00:20:10)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: When John goes flying off of the bus, into the "real" world, he hits a large, jagged, uneven rock. Later when he awakes the rock is very smooth and rounded, obviously a different one. (00:07:25 - 00:08:05)

Hamster

Continuity mistake: John opens the window to find out the house is falling, and a large object goes flying through the window next to the bed, smashing out all the glass and all the wooden frames. Seconds later all the wooden frames are now repaired, however all the glass is still missing. (00:03:45)
