Editing Continuity (fiction) (section)

===Deliberate continuity errors===
Sometimes a work of fiction may deliberately employ continuity errors, usually for comedy. For example, in the [[Marx Brothers]]' classic film ''[[Duck Soup (1933 film)|Duck Soup]]'', at the climax of the film, the camera shows a [[shot (filmmaking)|shot]] of [[Groucho Marx]] speaking a line, followed by a [[cutaway (filmmaking)|cutaway]] shot of something else happening, followed by another shot of Groucho. Each time, Groucho's hat changes, usually to something more outrageous than before (a [[Napoleon]]ic hat, a [[Prussia]]n hat, etc.). The fictional Broadway play ''[[Rogers: The Musical]]'' that first appeared in the miniseries ''[[Hawkeye (miniseries)|Hawkeye]]'' (2021) depicts events that happened in the film ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'' (2012), and contains intentional plot inaccuracies such as the inclusion of [[Scott Lang (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Scott Lang / Ant-Man]] who did not appear in the film.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-04 |title=How did MCU writers of 'Rogers: The Musical' know Cap's iconic catchphrase & those Avengers secrets? |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/hawkeye-rogers-the-musical-mystery-explained |access-date=2024-03-12 |website=[[Syfy]] |language=en-US}}</ref>
