Goofs

When Mr. Bean is hanging from the Projection room window he is wearing his normal shoes. However he went into the projection room dressed as a woman. While it's shown he had his own clothes rolled up inside the ladies clothing, his shoes were not. The only thing in his handbag was the Camcorder.

When the security guard halts Mr. Bean, he is asked for his pass. Mr Bean hands the guard an already opened ID card, but when the guard takes it, he opens it again.

The ticket on the chicken's foot switches feet, most noticeable after it runs from Bean, then later when it runs toward the camera before the farmer picks it up.

When Stepan and Mr. Bean meet up again in the diner and the musicians start playing music, a quick shot of Sabine's dress can be seen before she returns from the restroom (this was taken from an alternate scene shown on the DVD were she returns before they start playing).

Bean leaves the station restaurant without his bag, but it's back with him when he goes to board the train.

"Playback Time" is shown at Cannes Film Festival in its original English and without subtitles. It's a rule of this festival that every movie submitted in and out of official competition has to have French subtitles.

When the Peugeot races past Sabine and Mr Bean in the mini. Sabine calls the Peugeot driver a "connard". Incorrectly translated in the English Language subtitles as "idiot", however "idiot" in French has the exact same meaning as in English. The French word "connard" has a much more offensive meaning that is not suitable for a G rated movie.

Mr. Bean's camcorder is a Sony DCR-HC44E/HC46E/HC94E/HC96E (it could be any one of these, but this is an error regardless of which one it is). It is a MiniDV (digital videotape) camcorder. Although the film correctly depicts it as not tapeless, anytime we see Bean rewind or fast-forward it, we see horizontal "tracking lines," which would only happen on an analog camcorder (like a Hi8 camcorder). A MiniDV rewind/fast-forward would look pixelated.

A Sony tape-based camcorder requires constant pressure to rewind or fast-forward during playback (i.e. with a picture visible). Bean couldn't have left it fast-forwarding when he went to seal off the projector room.

When Bean is in the gas station in French Riviera, the TV of the gas stations is showing the news (about him) in English and not in French. In France you can receive CNN and the BBC in English on certain channels, so it is possible, although unlikely.

When Sabine falls asleep in the car, her head hits the centre of the steering wheel honking the horn. The horn on the model of Mini used is not usually in the centre of the steering wheel. Rather, it is on the end of the turn indicator. However the steering wheel is an after market wheel, the boss allows for the provision of the centre horn push. Given that the Steering wheel and sunroof are both after market additions and the seats have obviously been re-trimmed from their originals, it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that a centre horn push had been added.

When Carson Clay is shown in the audience for the first time during the premiere of his movie, you can see Sabine two rows behind, watching the movie, when she has clearly not arrived at the premiere yet. She is still driving with Mr. Bean.

When Bean disconnects the power to the effects board to charge his camcorder, there is a delay of about ten minutes while another attempt is made at shooting the advert. During this time the camcorder is fully charged and the effects board is reconnected, however it would take around two hours for the camcorder to fully charge.

When we see Sabine and Stepan on the red carpet just after getting out of the car, we can see the person in the passenger seat is clearly a woman, she has a very clean well made up complexion. This is explained in the making of Documentary, they had to use a female stand-in for Bean.

In the marketplace scene, the DJ is playing and changing CD's but none of the CD player's output sockets have cables connected, and neither does the power input socket.

Shortly after Mr. Bean joins Sabine in her Mini, he begins to fiddle with the switches on the dashboard. When he flicks the heated rear window switch on and off, the switch doesn't illuminate. This suggests the shot was filmed with the ignition switched off.

When Mr. Bean is recording himself buying something from the vending machine, you can see the reflection of a crew member in the glass.

When Mr. Bean gets thrown off the train he appears to be in Avignon, and later the same day he is being driven in the mini with Sabine, and they cross the Viaduc de Millau. This is around 100 miles to the west and in completely the wrong direction for Cannes.

Once Bean is in Sabine's Mini he gesticulates that the steering wheel is on a different side. Shortly after this Sabine asks what his accent is, Spanish, Italian, Russian etc. However the only parts of Europe to use right hand drive cars are the British Isles, this would give Sabine a pretty good idea Bean spoke English, albeit with a Scottish, Welsh, Irish or regional English Accent.

In Russian the name Stepan is pronounced with a strong stress on the second syllable.

At the start of the movie when the tickets are being called out, the man reaches for the wine bottle on the wrong side.
