‘New Moon’ Has 22 Mistakes & Counting!

By Roberta | December 1, 2009

If you were one of the first to see “New Moon” on November 20th, then you might have seen some of the blunders throughout the movie.

'New Moon' Has 22 Mistakes & Counting!

So far, fans of the growing franchise have pointed out roughly 22 errors in the film, and they’re just getting started.

Here’s what they’ve found:

Continuity: When Alice is driving Bella to the Volturi, she is wearing a headscarf and sunglasses. During the scene the way the headscarf is tied changes; the size and shape of the knot (and the colours on the knot) are different.

Continuity: In the last scene when Jacob confronts Edward and Bella. Edward’s hair is it’s usual poofed up, uncombed look but after Bella separates Jacob and Edward and Jacob runs off, when the camera is back on Edward, his hair is flat and neatly combed, then within a few seconds it’s back to its uncombed look.

More, after the jump!

Revealing: Just as Jacob enters Bella’s room through the window, a stunt prop - white band on his right wrist - is briefly visible.

Continuity: When Alice is driving Bella to the Volturi, she is wearing a headscarf and sunglasses. During the scene the way the headscarf is tied changes; the size and shape of the knot (and the colours on the knot) are different.

Continuity: When Charlie is talking to Bella at her truck about her going back to Jacksonville, the large wisps of hair on Bella’s left ear keep changing position and alternate from not / blowing in the wind.

Continuity: When Bella is at the cafeteria table with Mike and he is asking her to the movies her hair keeps moving from behind her ear to hanging, and back again.

Visible crew/equipment: In the very last scene, right before the ultimatum, if you look into the tail lights on Edward’s car you can see various members of the crew reflected.

Continuity: When Alice jumps over the staircase in school to wish Bella happy birthday, between shots during the scene the positioning of the decorated scarf around her neck varies.

Continuity: When Jacob first shows off his tattoo, it is up at the top of his shoulder. Then when he is in the forest at the end with Bella and Edward, his tattoo is about 2 inches further down his arm.

Factual error: In the main title when the giant new moon appears on the screen the shadow fades over the moon from right to left when it should actually fade from left to right. The moon travels around the earth clockwise. The waning moon should turn to a new moon, not the waxing which is shown.

Continuity: In the scene where Bella is in the meadow talking to Laurent, Bella’s hair is at first straight and then in the next scene it is wispy and pushed back and then it is straight again.

Continuity: After Bella awakes from the first nightmare, we see her Romeo and Juliet book on the pillow beside her. When Charlie brings in her presents the book is gone, but then reappears on the pillow between shots.

Did you notice any of these? I guess the Twi-hards have nothing but time on their hands to watch this movie over and over to point out the various mistakes throughout.

    I actually notice things like these, even if I’m not a big fan of a movie. Continuity mistakes are annoying.

    One big mistake I think is that in the books and in the Twighlight movie, Edward’s eyes are black when he hasn’t fed and then honey colored when he has gone hunting and fed but in New Moon we are under the impression that he hasn’t fed for a long while because he is gaunt and the circles under his eyes are very dark, like when he is “hungry”, yet his eyes are still honey color!

    Same thing with Alice when she first sees Bella after her vision of Bella jumping off the cliff.

    Always fun to spot. Maybe when I’ve got the dvd and the buzz has worn off.. after a few hundred viewing. I’ll only be replaying the first 10min and last 20 min anyway. :-)

    One mistake is listed twice. (scarf moving around)

    Re Edward’s hair. It’s been written about how much Robert hates, hates touch ups between scenes.

    The worst mistakes were in Twilight. Like when Bella doesn’t have her purse when she gets out of Edward’s car while going into the police station — after buying the book and next she is reading the book and on the computer.

    Also, I read somewhere they made Bella’s hair straight and disheveled for this movie on purpose to reflect her lack of caring about anything.

    the movie was good.. it will be great if they copied the book completely.. there were really lots of impositions..

    No book adaption is going to be perfect. If you noticed these things when you watched it the first time, you shouldn’t have been there. It was probably boring you.

    The mistakes don’t even matter. It’s the quality of the movie that counts, not errors.

    I love how Twi-hards are getting so het-up about some equally lame people pointing out continuity errors. Unless it’s blindingly obvious and annoying, pointing out the continuity errors is quite pathetic. It’s like “Ooooh, yeah, I’m sure it ruined so many people’s enjoyment of the film just because someone’s hair changed”. But on the other hand, if you like a film, why would you care if someone points out a few errors? It’s only a film. It’s not like they’ve deeply insulted your late grandma or anything. Chill out folks.

    Yeah who ever noticed all those mistakes had to be bored with the movie and shouldn’t have went to the theater to see it! Besides, every movie has mistakes like that and I mean EVERY MOVIE!!

    OK. If you’re writing a post on here and going to complain about pointing out the errors, read this: 1) some people are more observant than others, 2) if you’re really upset, why did you click on this link and read it? and 3) if you say something isn’t worth commenting on… don’t comment on it.

    New Moon was fairly well acted, but the directing lacked finesse. The director totally lost the romance of Twilight and made the film choppy. The vampires did look sicklier in this one, which was sad (unless you’re team Jacob, which I am not).

    I noticed that the tattoo makeup on Sam’s (Chaske Spencer) arm was badly done. When he and the rest of the pack are at his house, he goes up to greet (I think they hugged and kissed) Emily and if look at his arm, you can see the skin around the black design puckering under the clear edges of the fake tattoo that was applied for the role. This happends all the time when people used fake tattoos, and I’m sure most people would recognize it if they looked for it (it jumped out at me from the screen) so I’m surprised that no one in editing spotted it, because its one of the closest, longest views of the wolf pack’s tattoo.

    I don’t think that it really matters. I mean, a lot of movies make mistakes. Even if this movie has several errors in it, I think that is was great!
