These are listed by where they are easily found on the DVD (2nd Kubrick Collection) by chapter and the time each part occurs. It is just for fun and is in no way meant to detract from the work. Many people say Kubrick was perfectionist because of the legendary amount of takes he sometimes did. This proves he was not. He did multiple takes to get the actors to try different interpretations and maybe come up with something no one thought of. He didn't obsess over these tiny things in the editing room when multiple takes were edited together.

During the "hogs of the road" scene, the shadow of the boom mic falls on Dim's hat. | That is the shadow from Georgie's hat. |
A man is seen running in the background when the droogs pull up to HOME. | It is a horse in the field. |
The position of Basil the snake changes from left to right when he is on the tree post. | The first shot is filmed in the mirror, so it is naturally reversed. |
Shortly after Georgie announces the "mutiny", Alex's amulet switches from his right wrist to his left and back again between shots. | What amulet!? |
The prison chaplain puts his arm around Alex twice. | So? He puts his arm on him and goes to walk away, but Alex calls him back and he puts his arm back on him. |
Alex screams after he is dunked in the trough. | Dim is the one making all the noise. That is what is heard. |
