Michael Keaton, Shelley Long, and Henry Winkler in Night Shift (1982)

Goofs

Night Shift

Edit

Continuity

When Chuck and Bill go upstairs in the club at the end, Bill is barefoot. When Bill jumps off the balcony and lands on the floor a few seconds later, he is wearing red sneakers.
Chuck is being assaulted with the water hose when he is interrupted by the police. During the shootout, the hose is dropped from Chuck's mouth, but there is no water on the floor.
At the end, when the delivery man wipes the mustard off the sandwich onto the wall, in the next shot there is no more mustard on the wall.
When Bill is writing on the chalkboard, the letters and lines on the board change between shots.
In the beginning, the pimp's arms are tied to the chair along with his body. As the body begins to fall, his arms are tied. As he progresses in the fall, his arms are up in the air (untied). When the pimp and the chair crash through the basketball hoop, his arms are tied to the chair again.

Factual errors

Bill says "this is my stop" and gets off the subway, while Chuck stays on. But the sign next to him says the train is the Times Square - Grand Central shuttle, which makes no intermediate stops.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

(at around 52 mins) When Chuck is reading a computer screen showing his and Bill's investments for their prostitution "company", there are multiple spelling errors which aren't due to the screen's limitations. Chuck, being the fussy business type, would never let this happen. There's at least one typo on nine of the eleven lines displayed; they are: "CHUCK & BILLS INVESTMET SERVICE", "Inteest compouded monthl", "Paymnts at endof period", "Annual intrest rate", "Present vaue", "Future vale", "Monthly pament", "The interet rate is 1.46% per monh", and "And the tie period i 12 months".

Correction: Chuck is actively editing the document, so he is most likely correcting typos he made when he was previously concentrating on the data, not the spelling.
When Belinda comes to Chuck's to make breakfast, she asks what type of eggs he wants, and he says scrambled. She then starts making fried eggs, but when the eggs are done, she magically pours scrambled eggs out of the same pan. It is true that she does start off with the eggs as sunny side up style, but as Chuck is talking to his fiancée, from Belinda's shadow, it can be seen she is using the spatula to mix up the eggs and then pours the scrambled eggs onto her and Chuck's plates. Even the eggs don't look that well scrambled.

Revealing mistakes

When Bill is listening over and over to the tape recording of Chuck saying how much he wishes Bill would shut up, the tape keeps rewinding back, but Bill's fingers don't ever move until he finally shuts off the tape machine.
As Chuck get's his haircut, the barber holds up a mirror for Chuck to get a look. After he drops the mirror, Bill is standing there for a surprise hello having come inside from the door to Chuck's right being blocked by the mirror. Right after Chuck holds the mirror up, the top of Bill's back can be seen sneaking into the film from Chuck's left which would have put his character right next to Chuck the whole time.
When Chuck is in jail his lip and eye have no visible injuries. Once he is released and then also at the lawyers office, you can see his face is red and bottom lip are injured.

Crew or equipment visible

When Chuck enters a room next to his office at the morgue, grip equipment is reflected in the glass door

Errors in geography

As Bill is showing Chuck his new car, they keep driving past the same buildings (Con Ed Plant in particular) on the FDR highway. Even though they're driving north, at the end of the sequence, they are passing by the Manhattan Bridge/Chinatown area, which is south of where they started.

Character error

Shannen Doherty's character is listed as a Bluebird in the credits, but Chuck refers to her as a "Bluebell".
When the "ladies of the evening" arrive at the jail to bail the guys out, one of them says, "Mimi, pay the cab driver." When "Mimi" starts getting into the cab to "pay" him, the girl then says "with money". The actor who plays the character that started to get into the cab is Mimi Lieber; the cast credits list her name as "Linda".
