Goofs

After Uncle Pumblechook parks his carriage in front of the gate at Satis House and drops off the young Pip, Estella leads Pip away from the gate. First, the carriage is seen parked outside the gate. Later, as Pip is walking, the carriage is gone, and subsequently, the carriage is back in view outside the gate again.

When Joe drops his hat into a saucer during his visit with Pip and Herbert Pocket, the hat is crushed slightly and leaning towards Pip. In the next shot, the hat is in its original condition and is leaning towards Herbert.

When Mr. Jaggers first speaks to Pip and Joe about Pip's 'great expectations', he empties a small bag of coins onto the table before him and the coins sprawl out. However, in the next shot of the table, the coins have been confined into a much smaller pile.

When Pip is startled by someone present at Satis House, who turns out to be Estella, he puts his hand behind the candle he holds to better see the person without the candlelight in his eyes. However, his hand does not cast a shadow which would naturally cover his face and eyes.

When Pip and Herbert finish fighting in the yard, the hollow echo of their footsteps on the ground reveals that they're on the floor of a soundstage and not an outdoor location.

As Joe says goodbye to Pip after dinner with Herbert, Joe's fake eyebrows are loose.

When Mrs. Joe is beating the young Pip, she clearly is not touching him but just swinging the switch up and down behind him.

When the soldiers are searching through the graveyard, they hear a shout that the convicts have been sighted. A soldier and then Pip clamber over a stone slab-topped brick wall which moves slightly each time then returns to its original position, indicating a hollow, wood-based prop.

Right after the two escaped convicts are captured, the soldiers fire their muskets to signal the capture. But when the one soldier behind Pip raises his musket, his frizzen is already forward. So, when the trigger was pulled to spring the cock sprung forward, it could not have sparked. This means that the musket was inoperable. Further, the soldier never really pulls the trigger when it fires. And when the musket does fire, the muzzle flash can be seen a fraction of a second before the cock even springs forward.

At the end, when Pip is persuading Estella to leave Satis House with him, a 'Chad' is clearly visible drawn on the screen behind him (Chads were a popular form of graffiti in the 1940s - a character with a big nose looking over a wall). Chad is a British term; the American equivalent would be Kilroy, as in 'Kilroy was here'.

As Pip and Herbert Pocket navigate the rowboat carrying Magwitch to the buoy, its light blinks, signifying that it's electrical; electricity was not in use in early 19th century England.

When Pip goes home to his rooms before Magwitch returns, two clocks are heard striking the hour outside. The second one plays Westminster chimes. Big Ben in Westminster was the first to have these (hence the name) and this wasn't built until 1859, some years after the action.

The ruse to pass the convict Magwitch as off the river pilot for the Channel steamer ignores the fact that the real river pilot will obviously put in an appearance at some point. Also the river pilot's job is very skilled, requiring a detailed knowledge of channels and hazards. Something the convict would be unlikely to know. The deception would be unlikely to succeed.

There is no reason why Jaggers would disclose Estella's parentage to Bentley Drummle.

After leaving the office of Jaggers, Pip and Mr. Wemmick are walking down the street and when they approach the corner, the conversation turns to a discussion of Jaggers' servant Molly. At this point, the shadow of the boom mic is visible on the wall behind them in the left side of the shot.
