Toy Story 2 (1999) - 27 mistakes

Continuity: When the characters are crossing the street to get to the toy store, Mr. Potato Head gets his foot stuck on some gum. From the first angle, the gum is at the half way point of the rolling cement drainage pipe. When he barely escapes, the gum is near the lip of the pipe, a foot or so from the end. As the gum sticks to the passing pipe, it appears to be half way between those two points.

Continuity: When Woody asks Jessie to give him 'a little intro' when he is in the cupboard, there is a felt-tip pen by the door of the cupboard. By the time he opens the door, the pen is now 10 yards from where it was before. Woody then runs back into the cupboard to get the polystyrene and when he runs back out again, the pen is now back to its original position.

Continuity: After his arm has been ripped the first time, Woody doesn't seem to be able to use it. But when Al carries Woody into his building, Woody uses both arms to hold open the bag.

Continuity: Near the end of the movie when the 'false' Buzz Light Year is running along the air conditioning ducts his 'New Utility Belt' disappears then reappears again.

Continuity: When Evil Zurg first busts out of his box he looks at Buzz Lightyear running across the parking lot at Al's Toy Barn. Through Zurg's viewfinder, you see Buzz run across a white pair of painted parking lot lines, but when you see an overhead view of Buzz running, he hasn't reached that pair of white lines yet.

Continuity: Near the end when the toys are chasing Al out of the building, Mr. Potato Head throws his hat to prevent the doors from closing. The other toys pass through this space running (seen in lateral view), even though the space the hat has made is too narrow for the toys to pass.

Continuity: When Woody is in Al's apartment thinking about leaving with the gang, he rubs the brown paint off his boot and looks at the name "Andy" written on it. The direction of the name is written differently, than when the cleaner first painted over it.

Continuity: When Buzz and the others arrive at Al's apartment and try to persuade Woody to leave with them, in some shots the remote control isn't visible (when it should be), until Woody goes over to it and turns on the TV to show them 'Woody's Roundup' - also there is a roll of cellotape sitting a good two metres away from the remote, but seconds later the cellotape and remote are practically side by side.

Continuity: When the toys first enter Al's Toy Barn, the Pixar ball can be seen in the lower left corner. Yet when Buzz is on the roller monkey trying to catch up to Al, the ball has moved to the right corner.

Factual error: When Hamm turns off the TV at the beginning, there's no reflection of him, Rex who is beside him, or the remote.

Other: Near the end of the picture Al is racing to the airport and the toys give chase in the pizza truck. Spud jams the transmission into gear without using the clutch. (Hey, it's only a cartoon and Goyozas had great transmissions). The entire chase, however, would have been in first gear, but the engine runs at a normal speed. The truck bounces to a stop at the airport and then the engine stops. If they weren't using the clutch the truck and the engine would have stopped (stalled-out) at the same time.

Continuity: In this movie, Woody's horse's name is Bullseye. But in the first movie, when Woody gets his pull-string caught on the stair-railing in Sid's house, you can hear him call his horse "Thunder."

Other: When Hamm is pressing the remote control to get to Al's Toy Barn commercial, when he eventually lands on it, he still presses the remote several more times. The TV channel should have skipped the commercial again.

Continuity: Just before the other Buzz activates his anti gravity in the lift shaft, you can see that the lift is nowhere to be seen in the darkness, yet when Buzz and the other toys fall, they only fall a short distance before landing on the lift roof which is now highly illuminating the whole lift shaft.

Continuity: In the wideshot when Andy's mum puts Woody on the top shelf, there is nothing visible under the books. Then moments later Woody discovers Wheezy under the same books.

Continuity: When Woody rides Bullseye for the first time, they ride past the cardboard box and the front flap is up. Then when Bulleyes goes to get Stinky pete out of the box, the front flap is now down. Then when Bulleyes turns Pete's box around, the flap is up again.

Revealing: When the toys are watching Woody being stolen the games machine on top of the TV doesn't have its controllers plugged in, but Rex was playing earlier with a wire coming out of his controller, which clearly wasn't actually connected to anything.

Plot hole: At the end when the gang get home to Andy's room, it's night time and the luggage trolley they drove home in is outside the neighbour's house. The next morning it's still there. But we see an ad with the 'chicken man' looking very sad because he lost Woody and the others. How could he have gone to Tokyo, realised the dolls were missing, then zoomed back to Tri County to do the add the next day? While saving Woody, the toys explicitly say that Andy is returning home the following morning. They must have made it in one night, or they would have missed Andy's return.

Deliberate "mistake": Even though Hamm is flicking through the channels at the same speed, the side with Al's advert on it is visible for longer.

Continuity: When Rex breaks the fort with his tail, Mr. and Mrs. Potato are behind it but they disappear a few shots later.

Continuity: In the German Version: The group arrives at the Toy Market and a sign says "GESCHLOSSEN". The next time it is shown it says "CLOSED". (Geschlossen is the German word for closed).-It happens in the French version as well and in other Pixar films too. They arguably translated the most obvious words so that foreign people can understand, but they forgot some of them.

Other: When the toys burst through the air vent into Al's office, the other Buzz's laser goes off with out him touching it.

Continuity: The movie released in Spanish cinemas showed the signs on Al's Toy Barn written in Spanish, but only during the first shots. Moments later they magically change to their original English text.

Continuity: When Andy plays with his toys, just before he goes to Cowboy Camp, in one shot Buzz rides off the scalectrix on RC, and hits Hamm, and RC flies over the bucket Hamm was standing on and goes way out of shot. Seconds later RC is now beside the bucket.

Continuity: If you look closely when Woody and Jessie are hugging on the plane near the end of the movie, in the green case, in Woody's styrofoam holder thing, his gun holder is on the wrong side, but you have to look really close.

Other: During one of the outtakes between Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, Mrs. Potato Head packs a set of toy "teeth". In the DVD subtitles for this scene, it's printed as if she said "cheese".

Continuity: Woody, Jessie, Bullseye and Buzz end up standing in the middle of a runway directly behind a jet airliner "rotating" - just leaving the ground. Its engines will be at full power at this point of the take off. Those toys are going to be blown into the next state.
