• Continuity: The jar of M&Ms behind Peggy Sue when she is in the kitchen with her daughter.
  
  
• Anachronisms: The Bose speakers at the "teen make-out dance party" didn't exist in 1960. Bose Corporation was founded in 1964. The distinctively shaped Bose 901 "Direct/Reflecting" speakers on shelves on the wall (above Charlie and his singing group) first appeared in 1968.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: At beginning of movie, Peggy Sue and the actions of her reflection in the mirror don't match up exactly. Most of the mirror scenes were done with doubles in reverse, making synchroized movements very hard.
  
  

• Continuity: When the family rushes out to look at the new car, Peggy Sue opens the liquor bottle twice without replacing the top.
  
  
• Continuity: Maddie's hair style changes between shots when Peggy first sees her outside at the reunion, when they are inside and Maddie tells Peggy to find a table, and when Maddie and her husband join the table.
  
  
• Continuity: When Peggy faints at the reunion, Charlie is on her left side. In the next shot, Charlie is in the background, and Beth looks back at him. In the next shot, he is back at her left side.
  
  
• Continuity: At the beginning of "dream" part of the movie, Charlie's hair is a very light blond. Toward the middle of the movie, it's noticeably darker. At the end, it's light blond again.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Carol and Maddie are in Peggy's room asking about her date with Michael Fitzsimmons, the camera angle shows all three girls. Maddie says "Yeah, he's so cool and mysterious," but her mouth doesn't move.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Peggy Sue tells Richard that she had "come from the future", you can see that she actually said "back from the future" by watching her lips. The line was apparently overdubbed later so the movie wouldn't make viewers think of the recently-released hit movie Back to the Future (1985).
  
  
• Continuity: When Charlie shows Peggy Sue the book that Michael Fitzsimmons dedicated to her, it switches from having a dust jacket to not having one, and then back again.
  
  
• Anachronisms: Peggy's dad brings home a "new" Edsel, which is a 1958 model, in the April 1960 setting of the movie. There was a 1960 Edsel, but its production was phased out by Ford Motor Company in November 1959 after only 2,846 of the 1960 model were built.
  
  
• Anachronisms: In the scene Michael Fitzsimmons and Peggy Sue Kelcher are outside of the Donut Hole cafe, while the song "You Can't Sit Down" by Phil Upchurch was played on the jukebox. This song was originally recorded by the Dovells in 1963.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the scene where the family goes outside to see the new Edsel Peggy Sue's father calls her "Kathleen". Peggy Sue is laughing and the father says "Kathleen, what's gotten into you?".
