“Catch Me If You Can” Goofs List

• Anachronisms: The fire alarm system in the hospital dates from the late ’80s and early ’90s.
• Continuity: While having lunch with his father, Frank Jr’s hand jumps from the table to his side, and on and off his wine glass, between shots.
• Anachronisms: When Frank Jr. goes to meet his father in a bar, he is wearing a United States Postal Service jacket. The symbol on the patch is correct, but it wasn’t known as the United States Postal Service until 1971. In the ’60s, it was the U.S. Post Office Department.
• Continuity: The gauze pad and small retractors Abagnale gets in the ER disappear in one shot, then reappear two shots later.
• Anachronisms: At the French prison in 1969, Hanratty uses a pop-up mini-umbrella. This type of umbrella wasn’t available until the late 1970s. Until then, all umbrellas were of the two-hand, slide-up variety.
• Anachronisms: When Hanratty and Abagnale are aboard a plane at LaGuardia Airport in 1969, a shot of the New York City skyline shows the World Trade Center towers fully built. However, the towers were not completed until 1973.
• Anachronisms: The green-capped McCormick spice bottles on the spice rack in the apartment were not available in the early 1960s.
• Continuity: The checks Abagnale gathers up when he’s confronted by Hanratty shift position between shots.
• Continuity: When Frank Abagnale Jr. gives the new car’s keys to his father at the restaurant, Sr. takes the ribbon off the box, and sets it down to the right of his plate. In the next shot the ribbon is to the left of his plate. The box itself moves around and alternates between partially open and completely closed.
• Anachronisms: During one of the Christmas telephone conversations between Frank and Carl, Frank’s phone has a modular telephone jack connection. Modular telephone jacks did not exist at the time.
• Factual errors: Stopping a press like the one shown in the movie would not result in a flurry of cut checks flying through the air. Additionally, the cutter would be a machine that could fit the entire width of the paper, and make the precision cuts required for things like checks.
• Anachronisms: When Frank is watching a court scene to prepare for his stint as a lawyer, the television clearly has a remote control infrared panel and control buttons on the front. Those didn’t exist in the 1960s.
• Anachronisms: As Frank first walks down the street in his Pan Am uniform, a Fedex delivery truck is partially visible in the background. Federal Express wasn’t founded until 1971 and the Fedex logo on the truck was designed in 1994 when the company officially adopted the Fedex brand name.
• Continuity: Frank kisses a girl and smudges her lipstick. In subsequent shots, the lipstick is smudge-free.
• Anachronisms: We see TWA aircraft several times, all with the famous two stripe logo. That logo was not introduced until 1975, several years after when the movie was set.
• Revealing mistakes: When Carl flips through Frank Jr.’s high school yearbook looking for his photo, the close-up shot reveals the same names duplicated on multiple pages of the book.
• Anachronisms: When Frank and his father pull up to the Chase Bank, a Duane Reade drugstore in the background has a current logo.
• Continuity: When Abagnale has dinner with his fiance, he finishes the prayer and we see her shaking her napkin at him to let him know to put it in his lap. In the next shot, she is picking up her napkin.
• Anachronisms: At Miami International Airport, the National Airlines logo should have been the “SunKing” logo, introduced in the mid-1960s.
• Continuity: When Carl is visiting Frank in prison, the comic books jump around between shots.
• Anachronisms: The slide projector used by Hanratty in his briefing on Abignale has a carousel, which was not released until Christmas of 1968.
• Anachronisms: When Frank is arrested in France in the late 1960s, the police car he gets into has an antenna/defroster embedded in the rear window, which didn’t exist then.
• Anachronisms: The map of Europe Hanratty uses to figure out Abagnale’s location is from at least the mid-1990s: Germany is unified, and the former Yugoslavia is divided into several different countries.
• Revealing mistakes: When Hanratty makes a phone call outside Frank Sr.’s apartment, the entire phone booth shakes, as if it is not bolted to the ground.
• Anachronisms: When Frank interviews potential stewardesses, one of them sings a line from the song “Leaving on a Jet Plane”. This scene takes place in 1966 or 1967, long before the song was made popular by Peter, Paul, and Mary in 1969. The song was written in 1967 by John Denver (who made the song famous in 1973), which might have been before the scene in question, but it is highly unlikely that a student would have known the song before 1969.
• Continuity: The non-speaking role of “stewardess” Miggy is played by Amy Acker for the scene in the hall and when the stewardesses get out of the car with Frank outside the airport. However, for the scenes inside the airport, another (non-credited) actress has replaced her.
• Continuity: When Frank Sr. hugs his son during the pancake scene, his jacket moves about between shots.
• Continuity: When Frank gets to Miami International Airport to wait for his fiance, a car driven by a man wearing a hat stops right behind him. When Frank looks around searching for potential police, the door of the car behind is opening. In the next shot, the car behind him is gone.
• Errors in geography: When the French police come to catch Frank, the plate number of their car is 44 (number of the state). Montrichard’s plate number is 41; Loire Atlantique is 44.
• Anachronisms: The front-loading washers in the laundromat are Wascomat W74 Front Loading washing machines. The square door handle and rotary temperature control knob were introduced in the 1980s.
• Continuity: It is sunny at poolside at the Tropicana in L.A., with young ladies sunbathing. When Frank is almost caught in his motel room, he points to the “perp” being escorted to the car by “another Secret Service man.” The streets are clearly wet, and the car is covered with raindrops.
• Factual errors: In the 1960s, French police cars had yellow flashing lights, not blue.
• Anachronisms: When we first see Brenda at the hospital, she is wearing 1970s-style braces on her teeth.
• Continuity: En route to Handratty’s first confrontation with Frank Jr., Amdursky and Fox are wearing sunglasses in one shot as the car turns into the hotel parking lot (after the “knock-knock joke”), but not in others.
• Factual errors: When Hanratty is briefing fellow FBI agents about check routing, the first US map has many geographical errors: Kansas City is where Omaha should be, St. Louis is in middle of Missouri, and Boston is in Maine. When the same map is shown again, the cities are correctly located, and the map shading scheme has changed.
• Anachronisms: Brenda is last seen waiting at the Miami airport directly behind a sidewalk curbcut for wheelchairs which was not introduced until at least the mid-1970s, particularly after federal legislation for the handicapped was enacted.
• Continuity: When the little girl on the street asks Frank if he’s a “real live pilot”, she’s standing in front of a yellow car. After he speaks to her, he begins to walk away, and the yellow car is gone.
• Factual errors: When the FBI agents tell Frank’s mom how much money he has stolen, she reaches for a pack of Kent cigarettes. The cigarette she lights has a “cork” filter. Kents had a white filter.
• Anachronisms: Early in the movie, when Frank Sr. attempts to pull off a bank heist with the help of Frank Jr., a 1980s city bus is in the background.
• Continuity: Frank points out the Manhattan skyline from the plane. They are at a much higher altitude in a subsequent shot, and only clouds are visible.
• Anachronisms: In several scenes, Agent Hanratty uses the “Weaver Stance” when holding a handgun. This is particularly evident when he first meets Secret Service Agent “Barry Allen” in the hotel room. Most of the movie takes place during the 1950s and 1960s. The “Weaver Stance” was first developed during the 1950s, and not widely taught widely until the late 1970s.
• Anachronisms: The bottle of Tab diet cola in pool scene is from late 1970s.
• Anachronisms: Use of OCR-A character-reader font on letters, driver’s license. It was first introduced in 1970.
• Continuity: When Frank tries to escape after printing the checks, he i
