Roddy McDowall and Jill Haworth in It! (1967)

Goofs

It!

Edit

Continuity

Newspaper headlines refer to the statue as a Golem even before Pimm and Perkins identify it as such.
Arthur Pimm had been living with his mother's corpse since the beginning of the movie, but much later on, he had just stolen her corpse (and the coffin she was in), and a hearse - a very blatant continuity error near the last part of the movie.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

Several characters identify the writing etched into the side of the Golem as Hebrew, which it is clear they are. Some may think that when Pimm makes a graphite rubbing of it, the images on the paper are Egyptian hieroglyphics, but they are not.

Revealing mistakes

Unfortunately the shocking revelation that McDowall's mother is a corpse Early in the film) is rather spoilt by the fact that well before he hangs the jewel around her neck it can be clearly seen that her arms are those of a skeleton.
When the man from NY starts to take a scraping of the statue, the material is not hard at all, and it appears a piece of fabric moves right where he starts scraping.
The top of the Golem's toe moves before Pimm pries it up with his penknife.
Near the end of the film, Jim rescues Ellen by motorcycle. They have to cross a ditch over a single thin plank of wood the same width as the tire. You can see the film cut, and this stunt must have been performed by an expert driver as it would be nearly impossible for a man and a woman on a small bike to cross the ditch successfully over that thin strip of wood.

Miscellaneous

Star Roddy McDowall is credited as Roddy 'MacDowall' in the opening credits.

Plot holes

The golem has already survived the storehouse fire. He is told by the interpretation that he cannot be killed by fire. And yet near the end of the film he leaves him in a burning shed thinking that will kill him. It's illogical.

Character error

The golem kills 2 people before it is evoked.
