• Continuity: When Peter is in the playroom at Granny Wendy's house, there is a teddy bear in the room. It's the same teddy bear that is found later by Peter in Neverland inside the tree but no-one brings the teddy back to Neverland when Peter goes there to save his children.

• Anachronisms: In several close up shots of Captain Hook where Dustin Hoffman is mouth wide open, we can clearly see his fillings, yet it is doubtful that the character may have any on XVIIIth century. In fact, even though fillings already appeared in China on 4th century B.C., they have been widely used only from 1850 on.
  
  
• Continuity: When Peter falls off the ship into the water, a mermaid approaches him and his hands are tied together. In the next shot his hands have been untied with no time for the mermaid to have done this.
  
  
• Continuity: In the scene where Moira throws Peters cell phone out the window, the window is only half way open, but when Peter goes to look out the window it is all the way open.
  
  
• Continuity: When the lost boys are painting Peter for his first trial of flight in the sling shot the colors/design changes from when they paint him to when he is sitting in the sling shot. Most noticeably the white line on his stomach turns into a red happy face.

• Continuity: When the Lost Boys are going to sleep, blowing out their candles, 2 nearly full moons can be seen. After Rufio has acknowledged Peters identity, kneeled down for him and gave him his sword, two crescent moons can be seen. Since Peter only had 3 days to get into shape those moons had to be a few days before last Quarter (or waning gibbous).
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: In the scene when Hook tries to shoot himself, the pistol fires when the two men struggle for it and the shot sets on fire and sinks the toy pirate ship in the scale model of Neverland (a sinister omen of things to come). As the toy ship sinks, the pole/stand used to drag it underwater can be seen.
