We believe the following are all legit mistakes. If we've bungled it, or you have additional info, please update us.

Thanks to Marty Lawson

Update

The opening sequence shows an aerial view of the Overlook, if you notice there isn't room in the back of the hotel for a maze and no maze appears around the hotel.

Thanks to Peter A

Update

In the scene where Jack tries to break down the door with his ax, you see that he breaks through the right side only where he says his famous line: "Here's Johnny!, but the next scene the left panel is also broken.

Thanks to Tom O'Donoghue

Update

In the first gold room scene where Jack gets a drink from the bar tender, he is served his shot with an ice cube. When the camera goes back to Jack after talking to the barman, the ice has melted.

Thanks to Travis

Update

The bartending scene where Jack asks for a bottle of Bourbon, the bartender pulls out a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, which is not a bourbon.

Thanks to Tim Koontz

Update

When you look very carefully at the bat when Jack swings it, you can tell very easily that it is a rubber bat when it just whips around the lady's head!

Thanks to Lexi

Update

On the first part of the movie where Jack is driving to the Hotel, in one of the frames, you can see a helicopter's shadow in the bottom right hand corner.

Update

In the scene where the mom is talking with the doctor you can clearly see the ashes on her cigarette changing from one cut to another.

Update

In the very first arial shot of the overlook hotel, you can see the churning blades of a helicopter, in the top portion of the screen.

Update

Jack pulls the paper out of typewriter when Duvall interrupts him and when she leaves he starts typing again on a piece of paper that magically appears in the typewriter!

Update

If you look very closely, while Dick is talking on the telephone at Stapleton international airport, the change on his briefcase moves slightly in a couple of shots.

Thanks to Bruce Hyde

Update

In the scene where Danny and Wendy are in the Maze they show the Layout of the maze on the board outside, then the next scene Jack is looking at a model of the maze. Those are the same layout, but the next cut is an over the top view of Danny and Wendy in the center of the maze and it is completely different and possibly Larger.

Add another mistake...

Bogus Blunders

Sometimes an apparent goof is not a real mistake

But, nothing bogus that we know yet for "The Shining".
