Goofs

When another student throws a can at Pamela, she is facing Thackeray and defends against the object with her right hand. When Thackeray catches the can a split second later, Pam now has her back to Thackeray, defends with her left hand, and has to turn completely around to respond to him.

At the beginning on the bus, the lady chatting in the seats in front of Thackeray starts off with eyeliner on, and then, in another shot, she's not wearing any.

The can is thrown in an arc, and Thackeray, therefore, should catch it on its way down. However, it arrives in his hand as if it was thrown completely horizontally.

After Thackeray punches Denham in the stomach during the boxing match, he tells Denham to put his head down. Denham then bends over at the waist. When the shot changes to a more forward view, Denham is more upright, and Thackeray again tells him to put his head down. There was not enough time for Denham to have straightened up.

Gillian's position in the final dance scene changes depending upon whether the shot is from behind her or looking across the dance floor at her.

The students in the class, most of the teachers at the school, and the vendors at the fruit and vegetable market wear the same clothes throughout the movie.

However, it is possible the students, are wearing the same clothes because their families cannot afford more than one set of clothing. During the funeral and museum outing scenes, some of the class are dressed differently, showing they have special clothes and school clothes. As for the vendors, it's possible they have specific clothes to wear to work in, whether or not for financial reasons.

During the dance between Thackeray and Pamela, when The Mindbenders abruptly switch from a slow song (opening bars of "Off and Running") to a fast one ("It's Getting Harder All the Time"), the students are heard cheering, but the shot is of the whole class, and no one is cheering.

When The Mindbenders play the graduation dance, they are obviously performing a lip-sync to studio recordings. A piano is audible, though no one visible is playing one. The guitar heard is a 12-string, though Eric Stewart is seen playing a 6-string Gibson Les Paul. Stewart's lead vocals are obviously double-tracked, a common technique for hiding performances with pitch issues.

The band plays a song at the end with an audible tambourine, but there is no one on stage with that instrument.

There is a shadow of the camera on Thackeray as he approaches the students at the funeral.

A mic is visible at the top middle of the screen, just before Thackeray storms out in anger.

A boom mic shadow is visible at the top left of the screen (on the white arches) when Mark Thackeray is at home opening his post and receives the job offer.

The item elsewhere is incorrect. The script is correct in its use of kindergarten. If anywhere outside the United States used the term, it was London, and London specifically: London had the first kindergarten outside of Germany, starting in the 1850s, founded by Madame Ronge and run later by her sister, Margarethe Schurz. However, they moved to America in 1856 and so the term was not known outside London.

When offering to take flowers to the funeral Pamela Dare says she was in kindergarten with the boy whose mother died. In the UK there is no such thing as kindergarten and a London school child would have said "nursery school" or "reception" suggesting this was written for an American audience.
