Goofs

When Brian thrusts the plate of cake at Sally, the cake slides off the plate and slips down to her lap. In the next shot the cake is up on her chest.

In "Money" Sally's nail polish is green at the beginning of the song, red in the middle, and then back to green by the end.

As Max drops off Brian and Sally packs for the African trip, Brian's shirt changes style and colour. In Max's car his shirt is blue with a rounded collar but, by the time he enters the apartment, it is white with a pointed collar.

During the song "Cabaret", Sally's "cross your heart" halter dress changes from crossing left-over-right to right-over-left and back between shots.

Brian is seen pushing a bicycle while walking with Sally. The front light on the bicycle points downwards. Later, Brian and Sally join two friends for a cycle ride. Brian rides the same bicycle with the downward pointing light. In the same scene, when the four are pushing their bicycles and eating ice creams, Brian is pushing a bicycle that doesn't have the downward-pointing light.

Berlin Anhalter was once one of the largest in Europe, with a vaulted ceiling several dozens of metres high. The railway station chosen at the beginning for the location does not represent it adequately.

The subtitles are inconsistent with how they show German speech/singing. During the opening, with the Master of Ceremonies (MC) singing in different languages, the subtitles show the German words in German. In at least one other part of the movie (when he's singing/dancing with the ape), some German words are translated into English in the subtitles. In this same ape scene, it may seem to non-German speakers or to viewers with no knowledge of what spoken German actually sounds like, that the MC is inconsistent with his pronunciation of English words that start with 'W'. Sometimes he pronounces them as if they start with a 'W', sometimes with a 'V' (for example, the German "Willkommen" (English "welcome") may appear to an English speaker as if it should be pronounced with a "w" sound, but a native German speaker will, in fact, pronounce it as if it started with an English "v" sound (villkommen).

Per IMDb Guidelines, subtitles have nothing to do with the filmmaker - as such, subtitle errors are classified as "Unacceptable Goofs".

When Sally steps out of the shower, she's still wearing eyeliner and false eyelashes.

After she's tried to seduce Brian, Sally brings her record player into his room and plays a record....this is the 1930s so the record should be spinning at 78rpm. But it isn't...it's clearly playing at 33.

The film is set in 1931 however a 1936 Daimler Straight Eight 4½ Litre Sedanca Ville Hooper [V32] can be seen in the Film.

A 1939 Audi 920 can be seen in the film.

When in 1931 Berlin, Brian is explaining he lack of a sex life to Sally, he concludes: "Or, as you Americans say, 'Plenty o' nuttin'." This phrase is a version of the song title ("I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'") from PORGY AND BESS, which premiered in October 1935.

When "singing", The Master of Ceremonies' mouth often doesn't match his words, appearing out of synch.

When Germans sing a nationalistic song together they sing it in English instead of German.
