Revealing: Leonardo DiCaprio blinks after he dies.

Deliberate "mistake": After shooting yourself at close range in the temple, there would either be a huge entrance wound (and not a few small drops of strategically placed blood) or a nasty exit wound, with Juliet's lovely brain splattered all over her true love's face.

Visible crew/equipment: On the DVD, when the Capulets are jumping back into their blue car at the end of the gas station scene, look at the rear passenger window. A microphone boom is plainly visible in the shot.

Continuity: After the prologue, you see the Montague boys in the yellow car. If you look at the Montague sitting in the back of the car, you can see that his sunglasses are on his forehead; a few seconds later he puts the glasses down over his eyes. In the next shot, his glasses are back on his forehead again.

Continuity: Just before Romeo and Juliet jump into the swimming pool, Juliet's hair is in a braid that wraps around her head. But, when they jump into the pool the braid is gone.

Continuity: When Romeo is talking to the Capulet father at the party, his mask goes up and down.

Continuity: Romeo has just come up from under water, where he was hiding from a guard. His hair is untucked and messy. In the same scene seconds later it is combed back behind his ear and smooth.

Visible crew/equipment: Just as Romeo is about to leave the courtyard after his antics in the pool with Juliet, he turns around as she calls him from the balcony to give him her necklace. As he turns quickly look above Romeo's head, the boom mic quickly pulls out of the shot.

Continuity: In the gas station at the beginning, when Jamie Kennedy is singing "A pretty piece of flesh I am", watch his shirt. When he is first walking forward it is buttoned, then, in the next shot, it is open when he is licking his nipple. It's too quick a shot to have unbuttoned it.

Continuity: During the scene where the Montagues enter the Capulet mansion, watch the chain linking Romeo's armour on his back. At first it is attached, and then it is broken, then later attached again.

Continuity: When Romeo goes to the old man to get the poison, he opens the door and you hear the sound of a pump action shotgun. The gun he uses is a normal break action shotgun.

Continuity: When Balthasar arrives at the Mantua Outfields to tell Romeo of Juliet's "death", he tries to comfort Romeo, who promptly shoves him off letting his shirt fall open as he walks away. As he falls down in the middle of the field and begins screaming Juliet's name, his shirt is still open. But, as he gets up his shirt is suddenly done up.

Continuity: When Romeo and Juliet are in bed and Romeo playfully pulls the sheet up over his head, his shirt gets caught in the sheet and ends up over his shoulder and around his neck, but in the next shot from the side, his shirt is down.

Continuity: The nurse changes position in the church.

Continuity: Immediately before Romeo comes into Juliet's room, Juliet is looking at her religious statues, and you can see her right cheek is wet with tears. When Romeo comes in and Juliet turns around to see him, her cheek shows no signs of tears, nor after that.

Other: In the ending credits, the cast is listed in order of appearance. The Apothecary (played by M. Emmet Walsh) is credited before Lady Capulet, as well as a number of other characters who appeared well before him.

Continuity: In the balcony scene, Romeo knocks over a metal stand in his panic as the lights come on. It clatters to the floor but in the next shot it is standing up in its previous position.

Continuity: Tybalt's tattoo changes constantly. When he's watching Mercutio dying on the beach, it's a plain simple heart on his chest. When Abra is forcing him to run away to his car (in the same scene) it is not there at all. Then when Romeo is chasing him in his car and Tybalt's car rolls over, as he crawls out, it is much more intricate, with black lines and fire. It also changes when he gets shot over the fountain.

Continuity: When you first see the Capulet mansion, Juliet's mother is calling her. When she sees the nurse, the nurse's hairnet is at her hairline. When she goes to find Juliet it is at her eyebrows and it goes back to it's original place when Juliet is found.

Continuity: When Ted and Caroline Montague are searching for Romeo early in the film their car stops once in front of Sycamore Grove, then turns a corner and stops again. In both shots, the background remains the same, as if their car never moved.
