Mistake Continuity: Armand drinks all of his wine after hearing Val is going to wed, but when he stands up the glass is suddenly half full once again.

Mistake Continuity: During the dinner scene at Armand's home, Armand and Val go into the kitchen. In one shot Armand is holding the pot of soup with a pad. In the next shot, he picks up the pot without a pot holder.

Mistake Plot hole: How did Albert manage to show up at the door as Val's mother the night the Keeleys are there when the only way out of his room is through the door that leads into the living room where the Keeleys, Val and Armand are?

Mistake Continuity: In the kitchen scene, when Agador gives Armand the Turkish coffee, you can see a bit of the ironing board with the clothes basket on top of it. If you look to the right of the ironing board, there is an article of clothing on the end. However, in the next shot when Albert walks in, only the clothing basket is on the ironing board.

Mistake Continuity: As Armand serves the soup up to everyone, during the dinner scene, it has hard boiled eggs in it. The eggs in everyones bowls in following shots change - some appear/disappear, some change position, etc.

Mistake Continuity: Robin Williams is filling the bowls with soup. The next shot there is more soup in them than he gave them.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene in which Armand and Albert are at the outdoor cafe, Armand is attempting to teach Albert to act straight. In the shot where Albert is trying to walk like John Wayne, the lady is watching him. She then looks back to her paper. However, when the shot changes, she is still looking at Albert and turns to her paper again.

Mistake Continuity: Albert comes upstairs and says, "Where is he? Where's your little chippie?" When he does this, he throws something at Armand and a candle is blown out. In the next shot, the candle is re-lit.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Armond gives Albert the palimony agreement, look at the scenery in the background. After the boat sails by, you see some buildings covered by huge scaffolding. When the shot is up close, there is no scaffolding in the background. Once the shot goes wide again, the scaffolding is back.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where the Birdcage producer enters Albert's dressing room to ask Armand if he should send on Carmen instead of Starina, he removes his headset. However, in the next shot, he is wearing the headset again.

Mistake Continuity: As Albert is looking through Val's memory album, the page he is looking at is inconsistent, evident by the changing photos / awards / papers etc.

Mistake Other: After Nathan Lane shops for "Piglet" aka Val, he comes home and says, "Good Morning Agador," and Agador Responds "Good Morning." But if you listen he does not use the gay voice. It is Hank Azaria's deep voice.

Mistake Continuity: When Armand and Val are speaking about 'toning it down,' Armand gains three huge sweat marks on his chest between shots, which then change size and shape.

Mistake Continuity: After Armand breaks through the door to get to Albert for his act, the door swings shut. In a following shot it is wide open.
