Continuity: The Grandfather opens the book
twice.
Continuity: The car at the head of the bed
moves.
Continuity: The state of the Grandson's peanut
butter and jelly sandwich.
Revealing mistakes: Fezzik obviously being
pulled up the cliff by a wire.
Revealing mistakes: When dueling, Inigo and the
Man In Black sometimes have two shadows.
Continuity: The dust on the Man In Black's
clothes shifts constantly throughout the duel with Inigo.
Continuity: The Man In Black tosses his sword
and it sticks in the ground a fair distance away. In a subsequent shot it is
much closer.
Continuity: The rock which blocks the way is
gone after the Man In Black beats Fezzik.
Continuity: The Man In Black's sword suddenly
sheaths itself when he steps towards Vizzini.
Continuity: Running across the countryside with
the Man In Black, Buttercup's red tights disappear and reappear in subsequent
shots.
Continuity: Inigo's hairstyle after being
sobered by Fezzik.
Continuity: When Fezzik and Inigo rescue Westley
from the Machine, Westley has a wound on his left arm. By the time they get to
Miracle Max's, the wound is gone.
Revealing mistakes: When Fezzik leans Westley on
the castle wall, the wall moves.
Audio/visual unsynchronised: On the castle wall,
Inigo says "I'll say" without moving his lips.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Several
continuity errors are a consequence of the fact that the bulk of the film is a
visualization of a story being told by the Grandfather. Additionally, the story
itself contains one scene where events depicted as happening were subsequently
revealed to be a nightmare.
