Teen Titans: Trouble In Tokyo picture

Factual error: Throughout the film, most Japanese words are spelled in Katakana. In real-life Japanese, however, Katakana is exclusively used for foreign words adopted into Japanese language, like 'table', 'television' (mostly it is abbreviated to 'telebi') and 'racing car'. But in the film, even indiginous Japanese words such as 'samurai' are spelled in Katakana, not - as they should be - in Hiragana (the syllable system used for native words).

Continuity mistake: In the first movie, the prince has a little sister. She's mysteriously missing from the second movie, as if she never existed in the first place. I know she wasn't important to the plot, but still.

Continuity mistake: During the bus scenes near the beginning (that take place after the paintball sequence), the backgrounds looking out the windows of the bus change in the shots. Some of the scenery outside is city, back to open land, and back to city.

Cashback picture Cashback mistake picture

Factual error: At one point, a screencast of a computer screen shows a video of Barry Brickman on the desktop environment of Windows XP (operating system, developed by Microsoft, released in 2001). However, the app that plays the video is QuickTime for Mac (which runs on Mac OS only), not QuickTime for Windows (which runs on Windows XP). These two versions of QuickTime are almost identical in every respect, except for their title bar (the narrow horizontal area above the video). (00:19:15)

Pledge This! picture

Continuity mistake: Used condoms start trickling down from a jar stuck in a tree. The woman subjected to this unusual rain looks up and one of the condoms gets on her face, over her eye.
