10 Continuity Errors From Twilight You Never Noticed

Twilight is one of the most popular vampire franchises of all time, especially for the younger audience and readers. It follows the story of Bella Swan, a seventeen-year-old girl who moves into a small town to live with her dad. Once there, she meets a mysterious and handsome boy Edward at her new school.

Even when Bella finds out that Edward is a vampire, they still start dating. The Twilight franchise is comprised of four books and five movies, which is a lot of space for continuity errors. Here are 10 continuity errors in Twilight you might not have noticed before.

10 Changing Dress

At the end of the first film, after Edward and his family save Bella from the evil vampire James, Edward and Bella go to the school prom together. They find a private spot to dance even with Bella’s injured leg, and they slowly sway into the rhythm. This also leads to a somewhat heavy conversation. Bella wants Edward to change her into a vampire so that she could be with him forever but Edward is hesitant since he doesn’t want Bella to miss out on all the human experiences. While some people do change their dress in the middle of prom, it’s still doesn’t explain why Bella’s dress is light purple in one moment and teal in another.

9 Steady Heart

Despite all the pain and stress, both physical and mental, that Edward had put Bella through during the first film, Bella still wants to be with her immortal boyfriend. After James’ attack, Bella ends up in a hospital and Edward visits her. They talk and Edward, in a sudden moment of clarity, suggests that it’d be better for Bella if she left him and moved to Florida to live with her mom. Bella doesn’t want to leave Edward and she becomes visibly agitated – yet her heartbeat, according to the EKG, remains steady, which is definitely impressive considering her distressed mental state.

8 Fake Blonde

Rosalie Hale plays a fairly important part in the first film. She’s Edward’s sister and Emmett’s girlfriend. Yet despite the close bond the Cullen family seems to have, Rosalie doesn’t support Edward’s relationship with Bella and of all the Cullen siblings, she’s the least friendly when Bella comes over to Edward’s house to meet his family. Even Jasper who still struggles with his blood addiction is more civil towards Bella. Rosalie is described as a light blonde in the books but actress Nikki Reed has naturally dark hair, so she dyed it. However, several times throughout the film, her natural dark roots peek through, something the crew must have missed.

7 First Meeting

The first meeting between Bella and Edward doesn’t go so well, to put it mildly. It happens during a biology class. Bella arrives in the class for the first time and the teacher assigns her the last remaining free seat – which is right next to Edward who seems positively disgusted by Bella and her smell.

In the class, the students are working with samples placed on their desks. There are two samples on the desk, Edward takes one and nudges the other to Bella. However, in the following shot, the two samples are once again placed in their original position.

6 Missing Book

Once Bella first gets the suspicion that Edward and his family might be vampires, she decides to do a little research to find out more about vampires and their characteristics. She goes online, of course, but also decides to visit a bookstore specializing in the occult, and she buys a book there. However, a group of guys attacks her on the way back and Edward saves Bella. He drives her home and when they say goodbye, Bella doesn’t have the bag with the book with her, so it must have remained in Edward’s car. Yet, the viewers can later see her at home going through the book.

5 Close And Apart

When Bella decides to confront Edward about what she had found out about his true identity, Edward takes her into the forest. He confesses what he really is and then decides to show Bella what he looks like in the sun. They later go to a meadow and lie in the grass next to one another, enjoying the other’s presence. There’s a continuity error in their positions – in one shot, they’re very close, but in another, their heads and bodies are much further apart. Something similar also happens in the scene when Edward is hanging from the tree and talking to Bella.

4 Baseball Game

Did you know that vampires like to play baseball in their free time? Well, at least the Cullen family does. Bella certainly didn’t know it when Edward asked her to hang out with him and his family and watch them play.

It soon turns out that all the Cullen siblings are very competitive and don’t like to lose, especially Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie. Their mother Esme also tells Bella that they like to cheat. In one moment in the game, when Carlisle hits the ball, both Edward and Emmett run after it. But then follows the close-up of their faces and they start running after the ball once again.

3 Meeting The Family

Every girlfriend would be nervous when meeting her boyfriend’s family for the first time. Bella is no exception in this area. However, she’s not nervous about the fact that Edward’s family is full of vampires, but because she’s worried they might not like her – a fact that Edward finds incredible. When they arrive, they find the Cullen family preparing a meal for Bella. When Edward tells them that Bella already ate, Rosalie drops the bowl of salad she was preparing and the salad is on the floor. However, in the next scene, there’s no salad on the floor, and it only appears once again when Esme orders Rosalie to clean the mess she had made.

2 Different Shorts

Bella’s and Edward’s first kiss is filled with tension. Not only because they never kissed before but also because Edward is worried he might accidentally hurt Bella if he gets into the kiss too much and forgets to control his strength. Plus, Bella is also nervous because she didn’t expect to see Edward that evening. Edward goes to visit her in her bedroom and he arrives just while Bella is on the phone, and talking to her mom. When Bella is on the phone with her mom, she’s wearing grey shorts, but when she and Edward make out, her shorts have mysteriously disappeared and she has on green panties instead.

1 Clumsy Bella

One of Bella’s most defining features is her clumsiness. She hates sports because every time she does them, she’s bound to hurt others, or herself, or both. She also has the talent of tripping on her own feet or on a flat surface. Her clumsiness is a well-known fact, but it also makes it easier for Bella to lie to others when she gets attacked by James – instead of telling the truth, she simply lies and says that she fell from the stairs. In one scene of the first film, Bella and Edward are talking while standing in a line of people. Bella trips and pushes a girl in front of her who has no hat. In the following shot, the girl has been replaced by a different one who wears a hat and has a different shirt.
