The Darjeeling Limited

Continuity: When Peter is reading Jack's short story on the train, in the first shot he is reading the first page. In the next shot, he is reading a different page (the page has been turned to hide the paper clip that is holding the story together), in the next shot, the first page is showing again and has not been folded back.


  • Continuity: When Peter throws the belt at Francis in the train cabin, he has shaving lather on his face. But when Francis retaliates immediately after, the lather is gone.

  • Continuity: When Jack is smoking out the window of the train, Rita's cigarette changes lengths. When we first see her it is just a butt, but the next cut shows a full cigarette.










  • Continuity: When the brothers are in the dining car the first time, the camera cuts between Francis and Peter several times. In the shots of Francis we can see the back of Peter's head and that his fingers are on his temples. However, when the camera is facing him they are gone (it all happens too fast for him to have moved his hands up and down).

  • Continuity: When we're first introduced to Jack's iPod, it's a 3rd generation iPod with no click wheel. Few moments later, a click-wheel iPod is in its place.

  • Continuity: Around 27 minutes into the movie, a scene is shown from Jodhpur, as one can see "The Umed Palace", this is not possible as the train is shown leaving Jodhpur in the beginning of the movie.

  • Factual errors: In the dining car scene, Peter is reading Jack's short story, Luftwaffe Automotive. The story is written on stationary from the Hotel Chevalier, in Paris. The logo of the French flag on the stationary is incorrect; from right to left, the colors are red, white, and blue. The French flag is blue, white, and red.
