Continuity mistake: In the Acid Queen number, Tina Turner falls onto the bed and the syringe halls off the pillow. When we go to a close-up on her face, we hear her nails cicking and the camera pans over to the pillow with the syringe back on the pillow as she is clicking her nails to it. How did that syringe get back there?

Revealing mistake: When Tommy's parents die he puts their hands together. As the camera shows the close-up of their hands his mother's pinky finger twitches.
