Trivia
In the scene where Jack is writing and gets mightily upset when Wendy interrupts him, watch the chair behind Jack. It vanishes and then reappears. This was, however, intentional from Kubrick. The audience was supposed to get a subconscious feeling that something was wrong. Nice touch. See more...

Continuity: As Jack starts to break down the front door of their apartment it's clear to see that the hallway behind him is blue, as it was when he walked through the door after looking for the old woman in room 237. Earlier in the movie as Wendy brought Jack his breakfast and also during Mr. Ullman's tour the hallways were purple.
Deliberate "mistake": A green tennis ball comes rolling at Danny as he sits on the carpet playing with his toys. The ball wobbles slightly as it comes straight at him because they rolled it on the carpet's seam so it would end up in the right spot. If you look closely in the next shot the seam has moved and is now one foot to his right and no longer in front of him as it was before.
Visible crew/equipment: Jack follows Wendy around The Colorado Lounge. He passes the desk on his right and says, "I don't think that's true" and an equipment shadow can be seen moving on the box with his typewritten sheets in it. It can't be his shadow because the windows are not between him and the desk.
Continuity: After Danny walks into The Colorado Lounge Wendy hugs him as Jack sits and watches from behind the desk. If you look at the box of paper on his left it's entirely different than what we saw there a few shots before as Wendy ran to him. At first the box was full but now it has half as many sheets, it's in a different position, and it only has three sides.
Continuity: As Jack walks away from room 237 we see the maid's cart at the far end of the hall and the towel draped over it hangs distinctly to the right. There's absolutely no evidence that Wendy was doing maid service in the empty hotel but when we saw this cart before as Danny walked up to room 237 the towel was hanging straight down.
Continuity: The clock on the kitchen wall has moved. When we see it early in the movie during Dick Hallorann's tour the clock is right up against the power line to its right, but now we see it again after Wendy locks Jack the storeroom and it's been moved several inches higher and several inches to the left of the power line.
