The Twilight Saga: New Moon goofs

(around the seven-minute mark) Early in the film, when Jacob says "Happy Birthday" to Bella, his vocal track is out of sync with the words.

(at around 1h 50 mins) In Bella's bedroom, shortly after Edward returns, when he asks if Bella could forgive him, she can be heard saying "come here", although her lips do not move.

(at around 1h 45 mins) During Edward's fight with Felix, Felix seizes him by the neck and overpowers him; his chest and torso are shown heaving, appearing breathless from the exertion. This is inconsistent with vampire physiology, as vampires do not need to breathe.

When Bella is in the kitchen, telling Charlie and Harry Clearwater that she had seen enormous wolves in the woods, there is clearly no telephone mounted on the wall between the cupboards and the doorway — however, towards the end of the film Jacob answers Edward's call using a wall telephone that had not been there in the earlier scene.

Bella and Alice's relative heights shift throughout the film. (Bella is meant to be taller than Alice, but Ashley Greene is taller than Kristen Stewart.)

(at around 1h 5 mins) Just before Jacob jumps through Bella's window, it is clearly visible that her desk is pushed up against that same window, but when he jumps through it the desk is situated in a completely different part of the room. Once he jumps out again, the desk has been moved back to its original location in the next scene.

Esme's hair is clearly depicted in the first Twilight (2008), and, as in the novels, is caramel-coloured. In New Moon, however, her hair alternates between caramel and black.

(at around the three-minute mark) Right at the beginning, when Bella wakes with a copy of Romeo and Juliet beside her, the book disappears and then reappears between cuts while she's conversing with Charlie.

(at around the one-hour mark) When Bella reaches the meadow her hair looks wavier and more dishevelled, but by the time Laurent turns up it appears noticeably straighter.

(at around 1h 6 mins) When James bit Bella in Twilight (2008), the upper set of his tooth marks was centred on her wrist, while the lower set lay on the side of her wrist. Later, when Bella's scars are seen in her room with Jacob, the entire bite pattern has noticeably shifted to the right.

(at approximately 1 hr 8 mins) When Jacob visits Bella in her bedroom, she's wearing a yellow top. When she wakes the following morning, the top has changed to green.

(at about 47 minutes) When Bella first joins her friends at the table in the school canteen following a prolonged bout of depression, while she is speaking to Mike you can see, by her left ear, a hair grip that appears to have slipped from her hairpiece or isn't well concealed. When the shot cuts to Mike and then returns to Bella, the hair grip has disappeared.

(at about 1 hour 14 minutes) While Bella is speaking to Jacob on the beach, the parting in Bella's hair shifts from one side to the other.

(at around 36 mins) When Bella arrives at Jacob's house in La Push on two motorbikes, she pulls up and parks her lorry beside a silver one; however, when the camera pulls back the silver lorry is now a short distance ahead of her red Chevy.

(at about 31 minutes) When Charlie tells Bella that she's returning to Jacksonville due to her depression, the parting in Bella's hair shifts slightly between shots.

(at about 44 minutes) When Jacob shows Bella the brake on the motorbike, he demonstrates the front brake (operated with the right hand), not the rear brake (operated with the right foot). At speed, using only the front brake can cause the bike to flip over. Had he actually known what he was doing, he would not have done so.

(at around 1h 22 mins) While Jacob is administering CPR to Bella on the beach, when she is revived she neither coughs nor brings up any water. Had she actually drowned, her lungs would have been filled with water; upon being resuscitated she would have expelled that water from her lungs.

(at about the one-hour mark) Laurent doesn't shimmer in the way the vampires do, despite being outdoors. The sky is more overcast than bright. We see Edward and the other Cullens outside on numerous occasions in daylight when it's dull and overcast, yet they never sparkle.

(at around 16 mins) Given Carlisle has practised medicine for more than a century, he might still possess plastic syringes fitted with metal-capped needles for use at home.

So, when Bella is at school with Edward, Alice runs up and hugs her, wishing her a Happy birthday, and they chat about the party. As Alice and Jasper walk away, Bella clearly says, "Hey, Jasper — no fair with the mood thing!" Later in the films Bella is revealed to be a shield, so technically Jasper wouldn't be able to control Bella's mood.

(at around 42 minutes) When Bella and Jacob are driving to go for a bike ride, as they are filmed inside the lorry's cab, the shadows cast by the roadside trees seem to sweep past as if the vehicle were travelling backwards rather than forwards.

(at around 4 mins) After Bella's birthday, when she is given a digital camera, she takes it to school and photographs her friends. The image seen in the viewfinder does not match the scene being photographed: two people walking behind the group in the real scene do not appear in the viewfinder.

(at around 1h 24 mins) When Bella is travelling in the lorry with Jacob and tells him he is like his own sun, the image seen through the rear window stays static, while shots through the side windows show them moving.

(around the one-hour mark) While Bella is in the meadow experiencing flashbacks, her foot is caught in a clump of grass.

(at around 54 minutes) While Bella and Charlie are in the living room, with Bella's voicemail to Jacob heard as a voice-over, the can of beer that Charlie is drinking remains unopened.
