Errors in Amélie movie

by Karel Thönissen

For the lovers of Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain: a list of all errors in the movie [Français]. I have discovered a few other errors:

  • Amélie arrives at the Gare du Nord and follows Nino leaving the east exit; in the next shot she passes the west exit of the Gare de l'Est and ascends the stairs.
  • Footage from the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est is mixed throughout the film. Gare du Nord has a huge platform hall, Gare de l'Est has simple platforms [satellite]
  • The same cars (VW Beetle, VW Golf and Fiat Punto) are visible in several shots throughout the movie.
  • The lady in the 16th arrondissement offers jasmin, Earl Grey and bergamot tea. Earl Grey is bergamot.
  • Amélie's father got the garden gnome from his colleagues when he retired. His wife, who died when Amélie was 6 years old, did not like the gnome. So M. Poulain retired before Amélie was 6 years old.

The database also has lists of errors for other movies.
