Updated this week Continuity: When Hiccup first finds Toothless, there is a dramatic shot where the camera pans over Toothless, and his wing briefly obscures his eye, which is open after the wing passes. But look at the tip of the wing. During the shot there is a stretch of rope wrapped around it. In the next shot, the rope is much higher up the wing and not wrapped around it anymore.

⇓

Plot hole: During one of the test drives, the hook that Hiccup uses to fasten himself to Toothless gets bent, so he takes Toothless to the blacksmith to cut the line. There are two ways he could have easily avoided this: He could just unhook the saddle, take that to the blacksmith and cut himself loose, or he could just untie the leather strap. What he does here is needlessly risky and just there for his awkward conversation with Astrid.

Plot hole: Just before the village elder chooses Hiccup as the winner of Dragon Training, Hiccup achieves victory by subduing a Gronckle and making it fall asleep, in such a way it cutely kicks its leg in satisfaction. It is shown that Hiccup's father, Stoick, is watching the entire thing. So how did he not notice that Hiccup used a trick like that to beat the Gronckle and become aware that something was off at that point?

⇓

Factual error: When Toothless zooms in and catches Astrid while she's falling, he was moving so fast that he would have pulled her leg out of the socket when he grabbed it, if not totally ripping it off.

Continuity: After Toothless and Hiccup defeat the giant dragon, Stoick finds Toothless on the ground and believes his son to have perished in the battle. As he is kneeling down and beginning to morn, the rest of the Vikings begin to emerge from the smoke behind him. They are a good distance away from Stoick. But in the very next shot, they suddenly jump much closer to him.

Continuity: After the giant dragon crashes to the ground and begins exploding, you see Toothless and Hiccup flying up it's back to escape the blast. The giant's size is significantly bigger at this point. This mistake was even admitted to on the DVD commentary.

Continuity: When Stoick returns from his voyage, he goes to speak to Hiccup about his son's successful dragon training. Hiccup's book ends up on the floor, then it's back on the table and the papers move about as well, while the two are together.

Continuity: In the scene where Hiccup trials his first tail fin, he gives Toothless a basket of fish. This falls off his face before he takes flight. However, the basket is never seen again; you don't see it under either wing from behind, and when he takes flight the little bit of ground he was standing on is gone.

Continuity: When Toothless burns the ground to make a bed for himself, the section of burned ground drastically increases in size between shots.

Plot hole: When Astrid gets on Toothless for the first time, Toothless takes off uncontrollably and tries to scare her. Hiccup seems to have no control over him at this time. How is that so if with the new tail fin, Toothless cannot fly without Hiccup's precise control of the tail fin? That whole sequence would have fallen apart. This mistake was even admitted to on the DVD Commentary.

Continuity: When Stoick has the other Vikings blow a hole in the mountain with catapults, he then has a fire ball fired down the new cave and it shows hundreds of dragons all over the walls and ceiling. When Stoick yells and charges forward, the dragons scatter and rush out the hole in a panic, but far fewer dragons are shown escaping the hole.

Other: When Hiccup releases Toothless after he is shot down, Toothless pins Hiccup to the floor and there is a close up of Toothless' eyes. His pupils reflect trees, which cannot happen as he is staring at Hiccup.

Continuity: After Hiccup cuts the ropes that bind Toothless and the dragon flies away, Hiccup gets to his feet in front of the boulder, but the ropes are gone. However, when Hiccup returns the next day, he finds the ropes very close to the boulder, where they should've been all along.

Continuity: Near the beginning, as Hiccup is chased by the monstrous nightmare, the pole he hides behind gets blasted. If you look at it, the base is made of steel plates, but after Stoick beats the dragon and the camera switches back, the metal is gone and it's just wood. There is no way it melted off and burned the wood that far and that fast.
