Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: After arriving at the bank, the young letter carrier pulls out the envelope addressed to Mr. Darling and holds it out in front of him. Yet in the next shot facing Mr. Darling the letter is held the opposite way, in the boy's still outstretched hand. (00:09:10)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: There is a shot of Nana sleeping in her house before we see Peter flying over Wendy, who is also asleep. Then there is another shot of Nana coming out of her house barking. The toys' positions near Nana's house differ in both shots and Nana did not move them. (00:06:05)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Peter struggles with his shadow on the dresser in the hallway, in the first shot Peter's right foot forces the red table runner to slide off. Yet in the next shot the wrinkled runner is still on the dresser, though it starts to fall with Peter as he goes down. In the next close-up of the drawer, the runner and Peter are still on top and both fall again, albeit differently. But when Aunt Millicent closes the bedroom door the wrinkled table runner is on the dresser again as she walks away and when Wendy gets needle & thread the runner is neat and flat. (00:13:30 - 00:14:35)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: Peter kicks the jack-in-the-box and it falls over, but when Wendy starts to say, "But there's no such thing as," Peter flies toward her and the jack-in-the-box is upright now. (00:18:55)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: Tink unlocks the nursery window, flies about and darts under John's bed. In the view from above John's bed, we see a large play castle at the brass footboard of his bed. However, in the next shot looking out from under his bed as Tink opens the wardrobe, we see through the bars of the footboard that the play castle is GONE. Then in the next shot of the bed the castle is back. (00:12:25)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: When John falls to the floor he slams into the toy house. In the wide shot he and the house stop moving with his feet landing near the toy house, whose front door is wide open as the camera shows Wendy and Michael through it. In the close-up however his head is near the house, whose front door just opens a bit. (00:21:45)

Continuity mistake: When Pippin gets up from his cot in the corner, in the wide shot the fur rugs between his and Merry's cot are two light browns and a black in between and there is a black rug in front of Gimli's cot. Yet when Aragorn comes in and takes hold of the palantir, in this shot the black fur rug at the foot of Pip's cot is gone. In the next shot the black rug in front of Gimli's cot is gone and the rug that the palantir rolls onto when out of Aragorn's grasp now faces the opposite way than when Pippin first awoke and walked toward Gandalf. (00:19:40)

Continuity mistake: Before Merry asks, "What are you doing?" in this wide shot Pippin heads towards Gandalf and walks in the very narrow area between the center cots and the cots against the walls. Yet, when Aragorn walks in and also in the close-up as the palantir rolls out of Aragorn's hand, the area between the cots has significantly widened from the original width, note the floor pattern, for the obvious dramatic shot! (00:19:40 - 00:21:25)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: At the bank, in the close-up of her legs Nana knocks Wendy off her feet and she lands parallel to Nana. In the next close-up of her face Wendy falls back again. Then in the next close-up Wendy falls perpendicularly to Nana. (00:09:20)

Peter Pan (2003)

Revealing mistake: When John thrusts his sword at Wendy and she ducks, the sword lands between the books causing them to topple forward, off the shelf. The books actually start to fall before the blade even touches them. (00:01:50)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: Peter stands at the window and says, "Come away to Neverland." In the close-ups as his hands grasp the curtains, hardly any of the white curtain is seen under his grip. Yet in the wide shots there is much white curtain seen in his hands. (00:22:30)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: As Peter hushes Wendy and explains, "...I shall never find her if she's dead," Wendy's bed is seen beside them. When Peter grabs hold of Tink and tosses her at Wendy's pillow, Wendy's blankets are positioned quite differently than the previous shot of it. (00:19:05 - 00:20:05)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Peter tries to attach his shadow the toys, loose books and stacked books at Wendy's footboard differ in the following shots. Wendy exclaims, "You can fly!" and the books in the wardrobe are also seen and when she climbs out of bed the books in the wardrobe differ as well. Throughout this scene in subsequent shots these things differ, with no one touching them. (00:14:50)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: The pirate hat hanging on John's foot board first faces him, then faces the camera, the toys on the floor in front of Michael's bed, etc., change position between the shots of Peter entering the nursery and when Aunt Millicent opens the bedroom door, even though no one moved anything between these shots. (00:13:00 - 00:14:20)

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At Edoras, Aragorn's sword leans against the wall, significantly lower than the circular carving above it, as Pippin walks toward Gandalf. However, when Merry asks, "What are you mad?" the hilt now reaches near the top of the circular pattern. Then when Gandalf grabs the blanket to cover the palantir, the sword's height is the same as in the first shot. (00:19:45)

Peter Pan (2003)

Audio problem: Peter tells Wendy, John and Michael, "There are mermaids! Indians! Pirates!" We hear the children repeat, "Pirates!" but their mouths do not actually say it. (00:22:45)

Peter Pan (2003)

Continuity mistake: In the exterior wide shot, as Wendy opens the window of the nursery the curved window guard rail is seen being right up to the edge of the ledge below the window. In the shot from above as Wendy, John and Michael look up, the guard rail is not in this particular shot. (00:02:05)

Peter Pan (2003)

Peter Pan mistake picture

Deliberate mistake: John yells, "I've got it! I've got it!" jumps onto his bed and we see the length of John's one blanket, mattress and bed frame near the other furniture. In the next two shots as John runs across his bed, the blanket at the foot of the bed is not only pulled all the way out, using what hung over the foot of the mattress in the previous shot, but another blanket is added for extra length. Most blatantly apparent is the span of this mattress and bed frame, to increase the running distance, in relation to the furniture around it. (00:21:35)

Continuity mistake: While Eowyn is with dying Theoden, after he says, "my body is broken" there is a black smudge over Eowyn's right eye in the next three shots, whereas it is not in the previous or following shots. (02:15:00)
