While Emery starts serving his "depressed pasta" at the party, the rose in his teeth changes direction.
When Michael is putting the ribbon on the birthday gift, the bow appears on the package between shots.
When Michael is on the phone with Alan, the chalkboard next to the phone gets cleaner and dirtier between shots.
When he arrives at the party, Cowboy's hairstyle is completely different than it was when he appeared in opening montage as street hustler just several hours earlier.

I've just seen the movie for the first time ever (I'm a 20 year-old student) and, as a young gay man who's also very interested in gay movies and gay history, I thought it was extremely interesting. This is a personal analysis of three aspects of the movie - it is not a summary or a complete review.
It doesn't pack as much of a punch as the 90 minute play, but neither does the original film.
I appreciate this is a play and was written in the 70's. But that doesn't mean it is in any way authentic to true life.
I anticipated this production for a long time. The actors were capable of great performances.
While the actors were all very convincing in their roles, and the art direction was satisfying, I still don't think I got the point of this film. So, regrets and arguments abound amongst a group of gay friends, how is this the fodder of film?
I saw the first film made based on the play, and was very impressed by both acting and script. I went into watching this version with the hope that it would hold up to the original, and it certainly did.
'The Boys in the Band' does not disguise the theatrical origin of its history, strictly following the same structure as the play, but giving small additional touches to give a more cinematic air to the production. With its good direction, the sharp script, and strong cast, 'The Boys in the Band' is brilliant, complex, touching and, let's not forget, current.
Was excited to hear they wore remaking this with modern cast thats where it stops.
Well played! Great performances by the actors.
