I don’t know if I’d call some of these mistakes – more like over analyzation to its max by Movie Mistakes!
Either way, try and catch these the next time you see New Moon for the umpteenth time
The more popular a movie is, the more it will be examined and put under a microscope as people look for errors. The people over at Movie Mistakes have already found some mistakes with New Moon
– not that it matters, because, well… it’s a great movie. But for entertainment, read on:
Continuity: After Bella awakes from the first nightmare, we see her Romeo and Juliet
book on thepillow beside her. When Charlie brings in her presents the book is gone, but then reappears on the pillow between shots.
Continuity: Bella goes to Italy to save Edward. Alice drops Bella off – when Bella gets out of the car to ask where Edward will be, first you see Bella in front of the car door, then she is suddenly behind the car door.
Visible crew/equipment: In the montage scenes where we see Bella’s depression, when the camera is circling her, the camera man is shown in the mirror (twice) behind her.
Continuity: When Edward takes Bella to the forest to tell her he is leaving, Bella’s hair hangs down her back. But in a following shot most of it is tucked up in the hood of her coat.
Continuity: When Alice jumps over the staircase in school to wish Bella happy birthday, between shots during the scene the positioning of the decorated scarf around her neck varies.
Continuity: When Bella pulls up at the Black’s, she spots Jacob, gets out of her truck and her door doesn’t fully close . Later you can see in the background that the door is firmly shut.
Revealing: The rims of the vampires
contacts can be spotted occasionally during the film, especially the Volturi’s during the ending scenes, e.g. Jane’s in the elevator.
Continuity: When Alice is driving Bella to the Volturi
, she is wearing a headscarf and sunglasses. During the scene the way the headscarf is tied changes; the size and shape of the knot (and the colours on the knot) are different.
Continuity: When Mike and Jacob are standing outside the cinema waiting for Bella, between shots the Burger King takeaway bag sitting on the trashcan next to them changes position.
Factual error: When Bella is flying to Italy they show a Virgin America airplane. Virgin America only flies within certain cities in the US. Virgin Atlantic flies from the US to Europe.
Continuity: When Jacob first shows off his tattoo, it is up at the top of his shoulder. Then when he is in the forest at the end with Bella and Edward, his tattoo is about 2 inches further down his arm.
Factual error: In the main title when the giant new moon appears on the screen the shadow fades over the moon from right to left when it should actually fade from left to right. The moon travels around the earth clockwise. The waning moon should turn to a new moon, not the waxing which is shown.
Visible crew/equipment: In the very last scene, right before the ultimatum, if you look into the tail lights on Edward’s car you can see various members of the crew reflected.
Continuity: When Bella is at the cafeteria table with Mike and he is asking her to the movies her hair keeps moving from behind her ear to hanging, and back again.
Continuity: When Edward and Bella turn around to leave the Volturi
Chamber, Edward’s robe is tied. When they show them leaving from the back it is undone.

While I didn’t notice any of that, the only thing that kinda gets me is Edwards eyes in Italy. He was suppose to be hungry, and in this movie his eyes were always golden, not once were they black. In Twilight they changed his eye color during the apporiate time, while yes New Moon is more of the werewolves, I am disapointed that they seemed to overlook this, it is a big part of the vampire’s.
some, i personally think they changed during takes, not everything is going to stay the same each take, i didnt know that thing about the moon though!
& to be honest i thought taylors tattoo was real. hah.
I was just very pleased with the movie, because it stayed true to the book.
