The Crow (1994) More at IMDbPro »

• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Eric Draven returns home for the first time after his resurrection, the camera pans past the crow. When the crow is out of the frame, we hear the sound of its wings fluttering, even though the shadow stays still.

• Continuity: When Skank is in the convenience store to get "smokes and road beers" and sees T-Bird being kidnapped, he limps out of the store _before_ being hit by the car. This is because a scene in which he is shot by someone robbing the store was cut from the final edition. After being hit by a car, the limping is easily explained.
  
  
• Factual errors: Devil's Night is written as "Devils Night" (no apostrophe) in the opening titles.
  
  
• Continuity: Children's flashlights on Lee's face.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the beginning of the movie a guy comments on Lake Erie catching fire. In reality it was the Cuyahoga River that caught fire, not Lake Erie.

• Continuity: When Gideon is drinking at the bar, he unscrews the cap of his bottle completely, but Grange comes up behind him and unscrews it again before pouring him a drink.
  
  
• Continuity: Throughout the movie, the neon under-glow lights on T-Birds car are green, but when Draven is in the back seat of the car forcing him to drive, the lights are clearly yellow.
  
  
• Continuity: After Skank was hit by the red car, he left a large crack in the windshield. But at the end of the car chase scene when the police rammed into the red car, Skank falls out and the damage to the windshield disappears.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: After Eric disposes of Funboy, he grabs hold of Darla in order to help her see the error of her ways. At one point he holds her, arm extended, and tells her "Morphine is bad for you," whereupon the vein opens and a white fluid drains out. The problem here is that all injectable, liquid oral or intravenous morphine preparations are a clear light blue in color, for safety and identification concerns. The only I.V. or injectable pharmaceutical that appears milky-white, such as that in the film, is Propofol, an intravenous anesthetic.
