The Muppets

Continuity mistake: During the opening song, as Gary is dancing with the crowd, right before the chorus of the song kicks in, Gary spins around, with his hand to his nose like he's about to sneeze. During the first shot from the front, he puts his hand up to his nose, and begins to turn in a clockwise direction. He turns about 15° as the camera cuts to the next shot, and he has suddenly turned a complete 180° instantly between shots, and is facing the opposite direction.

Revealing mistake: During the opening musical number, after the baker says "Life's a piece of pie" and Gary is seen grabbing a plate with a piece of pie on it and tossing it over his head, watch closely. It becomes obvious that this is a fake piece of pie that is attached to the plate. Similarly, right before that, he grabs a cake out of another baker's hand and gives it to Walter, and you can see he is pressing his fingers into the "frosting", yet he leaves no marks, nor has any frosting residue on his fingers, revealing that was also a prop.
