Zathura (2005) - 12 mistakes

Continuity: After Danny gets mad at Walter for catching the rugby ball that his Dad threw for him, he throws his glove down on the floor and runs inside. In the next shot the glove is in a different location.

Continuity: After the rugby ball knocks the glass of juice over, the juice spills all over a drawing that the Dad needs for work. Between shots the position of the spilt juice on the drawing changes.

Continuity: In the shots before Danny throws the rugby ball, which knocks the glass over, the position of items on the desk keeps changing, and a computer mouse appears next to the glass of juice between shots.

Continuity: When the Dad is playing catch with Walter in the front garden, in the first shot he is standing right in the middle of the lawn. In the next shot he is standing right beside the pavement.

Continuity: During the meteor shower, the books on the shelves change position and the way they're stacked a couple of times, and the mess of books around the cabinets differs a few times as well.

Continuity: When Danny throws the rugby ball across the table at Walter, which knocks the glass of juice over, the ball also knocks a photo frame over. In the next shot the photo frame is standing upright again.

Continuity: Danny has plasters on his right elbow. During various scenes, they appear and disappear. Also they once changed design. And around the end of the movie, the plasters disappear from his elbow and appear on his right hand.

Deliberate "mistake": The turn count for Lisa's stay in the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber is off. The card reads she should be there for 5 turns. 'Turn' can either represent a single move made by either Danny or Walter, or a complete game cycle where both Danny and Walter have made a move. If we count the turns by player, it comes to 8 and she's awake 2 turns too late as it should have happened at the start of 6th. If we count both players’ moves together as a start of a turn, then she's awake 2 turns too early as its turn 4 and not turn 6. It seems obvious from showing us the shower suddenly start up that this is the correct point in the film they wanted her awake, so it's unlikely she was actually awake off-camera during the Astronaut's arrival and we just didn't see.

Continuity: When Walter is watching SportsCenter, and Danny is complaining that he was watching SpongeBob, he changes his position between the a closeup of his head and a wideshot of him.

Continuity: When Danny gets up to go out of the room to get the baseball and catching gloves, after Walter turns off his game and puts the TV on, as he leaves the room, Walter's legs change position on the chair.

Continuity: In the opening scene, when Tim Robbins is playing catch with his son, the cars in the background keep appearing and disappearing.

Continuity: When Danny and Walter are in the kitchen, the zorgons shoot at them and blow out the kitchen windows above the sink. Later when they go back into the kitchen to start a fire to bring the zorgons back, Lisa goes into the kitchen and the windows are not broken.
