Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator for the first time, there are some shots of him walking down the alley looking for Violator while holding his gun. In-between shots, Spawn goes from holding his gun with one hand, to both hands, back to one hand, etc. repeatedly.

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator the first time, there's a moment where a homeless man finds Spawn's gun, and Spawn grabs it and spins around to point it at Violator... only to realise Violator has vanished. In the first shot of Spawn grabbing his gun, he's right next to the homeless man, and the homeless man begins to turn his head in Violator's direction. It then cuts to a wider shot, and suddenly Spawn is a bit further away from the homeless man and the man is no longer turning his head.

Revealing mistake: When the paramedics are covering Zack's dead father's head with the blanket, his left eye briefly twitches. Note: timecode refers to the director's cut. (01:05:19)

Continuity mistake: When the paramedics are draping the blanket over the body of Zack's dad, his head is tilted towards his left shoulder. When the shot changes, his head is now titled towards his right shoulder. Note: timecode refers to the director's cut. (01:05:15)

Deliberate mistake: The legion of hellspawns during the film's climax are merely copied and pasted throughout the screen, as evidenced by the fact that many of them perform the exact same distinguishable body movements, such as pacing right and left from a crouched position.

Other mistake: Towards the beginning when someone is looking at a newspaper about the airliner being blown up, there are nonsense articles on the paper and pictures of people that don't match the names under them. With some white guy's picture over the name Michael Jordan on the left of the page, and then on the right a picture of a white woman with the name Will Smith under it.

Spawn: You sent me to Hell, Jason! I'm here to return the favor.

Trivia: At the dinner ceremony where Spawn attacks Wynn and kills Church, you can see a red-headed woman in a blue gown walking among the patrons in the beginning of the scene. The camera focuses on her briefly, but for a reason - look at her earrings. They are Spawn insignia. This is a reference to the angel Hellspawn hunter Angela, who wears those same insignia in the comics as trophies of her victories over previous Hellspawn. Very clever reference.

Chosen answer: He is squatting the entire time in every scene. The suit probably helped in ways to balance himself whilst squatting, so he could hold on much longer than normally.
