Did You Catch these 'New Moon' Mistakes?

I don't know if I'd call some of these mistakes - more like over analyzation to its max by Movie Mistakes!

Either way, try and catch these the next time you see New Moon for the umpteenth time ;)
The more popular a movie is, the more it will be examined and put under a microscope as people look for errors. The people over at Movie Mistakes have already found some mistakes with New Moon - not that it matters, because, well… it’s a great movie. But for entertainment, read on:

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

Continuity: Bella goes to Italy to save Edward. Alice drops Bella off - when Bella gets out of the car to ask where Edward will be, first you see Bella in front of the car door, then she is suddenly behind the car door.

Visible crew/equipment: In the montage scenes where we see Bella’s depression, when the camera is circling her, the camera man is shown in the mirror (twice) behind her.

Continuity: When Edward takes Bella to the forest to tell her he is leaving, Bella’s hair hangs down her back. But in a following shot most of it is tucked up in the hood of her coat.

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 Bella pulls up at the Black’s, she spots Jacob, gets out of her truck and her door doesn’t fully close . Later you can see in the background that the door is firmly shut.

Revealing: The rims of the vampires contacts can be spotted occasionally during the film, especially the Volturi’s during the ending scenes, e.g. Jane’s in the elevator.

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 Mike and Jacob are standing outside the cinema waiting for Bella, between shots the Burger King takeaway bag sitting on the trashcan next to them changes position.

Factual error: When Bella is flying to Italy they show a Virgin America airplane. Virgin America only flies within certain cities in the US. Virgin Atlantic flies from the US to Europe.

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.

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 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.

Continuity: When Edward and Bella turn around to leave the Volturi Chamber, Edward’s robe is tied. When they show them leaving from the back it is undone.

  2. Did anyone else notice that when Bella first sees Jacob (when she takes the bikes to his house), when she gets out of the car, her hood on her jacket is down, then they show Jake, and when they turn back to Bella her hood is on her head. Just thought I should bring that up. =]

  5. Another mistake is Jasper appearing in school at the beginning of "New Moon." Isn't he supposed to be a senior in "Twilight"?

  7. LOL!! This is hilarious! I did notice another thing. At the end after Charlie grounds Bella and shuts the door, Edward comes out from hiding and mentions that he's not technically breaking any of Charlie's rules. He says that Charlie said he's not allowed to step foot into the door, because he comes through the window. They didn't show Charlie saying that.

  9. After the months passing scene Bella's desk is in front of the window that Jake eventually "jumps" into. After the scene the desk is to the right of the window against the wall.

    Also, right before Jake "jumps" into the window scene, while Bella is in her bed as Jake is throwing pebbles at her window, the dreamcatcher is draped to the right of the center part of her headboard. When Jake is in the room and the camera focuses back on it again, it is completely and perfectly centered again.

  11. its just little mistakes... every movie has them, go to IMDB.com, look up some of your favorite movies and on the left side of the screen under 'fun stuff' click on goofs...every movie has them. All shots are filmed more than once and then they take the best one and piece it together to put the film together...so there are going to be some goofs.

  20. If you watched the director's commentary they actually said they got the waxing/waning of the moon right and in most movies they show it the WRONG way and a scientist commended them because that's the way it actually happens this side of the earth. That part is actually very very correct lol. Most people get it wrong.

  21. DID ANYONE NOTICE:

    AND

    In Italy EDWARDS EYES ARE GOLDEN! They have to be black.

  22. Also when the camera is circling Bella when they are showing her depression, beside her on the wall (in October) there are 3 pictures. In November, there are only 2 and you can see the square where the 3rd picture was.
