“Twilight” Goofs List
- Factual errors: SPOILER: In the ballet studio, James breaks Bella’s leg just below the knee. In the prom scene, Bella is wearing a walking brace, intended for ankle or foot injuries. Bella’s injury would require a cast or brace that immobilizes her knee.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Vampires sparkle when exposed to the sun. When Edward and Bella come to school, he is wearing sunglasses, which would not be necessary if he was trying to avoid the sun. However, it’s clear he is wearing them as a fashion accessory, and to make his skin look paler. It’s also why the Cullens usually wear dark clothing.
- Continuity: When Bella confronts Edward in the forest, the flap on his right shoulder of his jacket is buttoned down, then unbuttoned, then buttoned again.
- Continuity: When Edward is telling Bella how much he could hurt her, his hand on the tree goes from being flat against it, to resting on his fingers and back again. When the camera is close, their faces are close, when the camera goes wide that is when Edward has changed his position in the tree and his hand placement, he’s sitting up more. Then the camera goes close and he’s close to her again, changing his hand again.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Bella is confronting Edward about being a vampire, there are what appears to be visible bite marks on the left side of his neck. However, these are moles, not bite marks.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: There’s a scene where Edward and Bella are talking in the forest, it’s raining heavily and they are soaking wet. Soon after they are shown talking in another forest location, and appear to be completely dry. This could, however, indicate the passage of time, especially given their change of clothes. It is therefore assumed that their conversation takes place over several days.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the garage, Edward asks Rosalie and Esme to put on Bella’s clothing to mislead the tracker. Edward throws clothes towards Esme. Esme was in the scene for quite a while, getting stuff in the background. She was just out of frame when he addressed her.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the garage, Rosalie and Emmett put their belongings in Emmett’s jeep and get in. In the next shot, the jeep is no longer in the garage, and Rosalie’s convertible and Carlisle’s Mercedes are driving off. However, the jeep hasn’t left the garage, it’s just out of frame in the next shot. Esme takes Rosalie’s convertible, which is why it leaves at the same time as Carlisle’s Mercedes.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Edward says in the movie that vampires never sleep. When Bella wakes up in the hospital, he appears to be sleeping. He was pretending to sleep in order to appear normal, and to give Bella and her mom privacy to talk.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the very last scene, Victoria turns to leave the balcony overlooking the gazebo where Bella and Edward are dancing, with her hair tied up. As the camera cuts to her leaving down the stairs, her hair is flowing behind her. Victoria pulled out her hair pin at the top of the stairs.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the scene where Bella goes to the ballet studio to give herself up for her mother, James the vampire is visible in all of the mirrors. As the legend goes, vampires’ reflections are not supposed to be seen in mirrors. Yet both the movie and books often diverge from traditional vampiric legends, such as mirror reflections, burning in sunlight, wooden stakes, repelling from crosses, and so on.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Charlie takes Bella to her room, you see three naked Barbies: one on her desk under the bulletin board, and two are on the wall behind her, near the bulletin board. As the movie progresses, they disappear. As Bella makes the room her own, she is going to move things around, including the Barbies.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After Edward saves Bella from the car crash, she overhears him, Carlisle, and Rosalie talking in the hospital. Vampires usually talk so fast and low that human ears cannot understand them, but they can also talk slowly and quietly. They were talking “human” because other people were around.
- Continuity: Throughout the film, dark roots appear and disappear from Rosalie’s hair.
- Continuity: When Bella confronts Edward, her red book bag on the left of the screen seems to flip and move around in different shots.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After Bella is out of the hospital she still wears a leg brace when she is heading to prom. But she doesn’t have any bandage or mark on her right arm from when she was bitten. However, the venom that changes human to vampire heals the body in that process, thus also the skin. There might be a scar, but the wound would certainly be healed well enough for Bella to go without bandages.
- Continuity: When James breaks Bella’s leg in the ballet studio, it looks broken. In a far away shot, she is holding her leg, and it doesn’t look broken. Later, after Edward falls and she slides away, she moves both of her legs. If it was broken, she would be in too much pain to move it.
- Revealing mistakes: Throughout the film, various vampire’s faces are paled out, but not their ears and necks. In one of the cafeteria scenes, Robert Pattinson’s ears are extremely red.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Jacob confronts Bella at the prom, she is wearing her dress. A few shots later, when Edward cuts in, she is wearing a sweater. If you watch Edward closely, he is holding her sweater, then drapes it over her shoulders before turning away from Jacob.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Edward tells Bella “you better hold on tight, spider monkey” you can see his harness pulling his shirt up.
- Errors in geography: In the dress shop, two flags are in front of the building across the street; the American flag and the Oregon flag (blue with a yellow symbol). Washington’s flag is green with a picture of George Washington.
- Continuity: When Bella first sits next to Edward in biology and he visibly recoils, two samples are on their shared desk. Edward nudges one towards her and pulls the other towards himself. In the next shot, they’re next to each other in the center of the desk.
- Continuity: In the meadow, Edward and Bella are lying very closely together at first. When the camera angle switches, they are suddenly farther apart.
- Factual errors: Many of the flags in the cafeteria are wrong. The Kenyan flag (green, red and black, with a shield) is upside down; the black stripe should be at the top. Another flag is blue, white, and red, with a red star. This is a Yugoslav flag from before the breakup of the country in the 1990’s and is no longer used.
- Revealing mistakes: Throughout the movie you can see the vampires’ breath. In the book Edward states they can breathe because it enhances their ability to smell and helps them blend in as ‘normal’, but you would not be able to physically see their breath because they have no actual body warmth.
- Revealing mistakes: When Dr. Cullen treats Bella in the E.R., the x-ray on the upper left behind him is upside down.
- Revealing mistakes: In the last close-up of the movie, Edward’s face is close to Bella’s, and his skin is at least 5 shades darker than hers. Vampires are supposed to be the palest of pale.
- Crew or equipment visible: When Bella is wearing a green shirt in her bedroom, you can clearly see the audio wire under her shirt when she lifts her arms up to do something.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Edward and Bella are in the car and she says she’s warm enough they both go to touch the button, but you can see an early reaction on Edward pulling himself back a bit before they even show him pulling his hand away.
- Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Edward is lying next to Bella on her bed, moonlight (sunlight reflected off the moon) is coming in through her window and hitting his face, chest, and hand, but they are not sparkling. However, this could be because Edward is not in *direct* sunlight, therefore it has no effect on him.
- Continuity: As Bella and Edward’s fathers are at the second crime scene, Bella asks Edward to turn in to park up. The car moves right to turn in, then the next shot is the car still in lane, and hasn’t moved right yet.
- Continuity: In the baseball scene when Carlisle hits ball, you can see Edward and Emmett start to run after it. But, after the close-ups of their faces, they start to run again.
- Revealing mistakes: When Bella is on Edward’s back and they are running up the mountain Bella’s hair lies flat as if it she were standing. However, if they were going at the speed implied her hair would have been blowing back.
