Revealing mistake: After Splinter releases the nunchaku from Shredder's spear, he falls from the building's ledge. But notice how Shredder stops abruptly right before the series of shots which show him taking the long fall into a trash compactor, indicating that he actually lands on a mat. (01:23:00)

Continuity mistake: When Eddie first walks into the bar, he approaches Earl - keeled over on a table. Earl is wearing his hat, but one shot later the hat is lying flat on its top so that Eddie can place it back on his head. (00:11:20)

Visible crew/equipment: A film truck with its crew and equipment is briefly visible in the reflection of a red van four shots after Jack directs Annie onto the shoulder (use pause to get a better look). (00:46:15)

The Lion King (1994)

Continuity mistake: After we see a slow motion shot of Scar jumping through the wall of fire towards Simba, watch how Simba's teeth go from clenched to unclenched between shots as he hurls Scar over the cliff's edge. (01:19:40)

Continuity mistake: During "Somethin's Cookin'", Roger lands himself in a wall-mounted ironing board. As he emerges seconds later to a barrage of sharp utensils, notice how there's a wall outlet installed just below and to the left, but it wasn't previously there when he flew into the ironing board. (00:03:10)

An American Tail (1986)

Continuity mistake: In the sewer where Fievel is trying to evade the cats - at the point where he's on a roller skate heading downhill into the path of a live bear trap - several notches on the skate's belt disappear between shots. (00:52:10)

Speed (1994)

Continuity mistake: An obvious stunt double is briefly visible pushing a baby carriage full of cans into the crosswalk as Annie unknowingly rams the bus into it. Initially we see an older woman pushing the carriage along after chatting with her friend. In a view from within the moving bus's front window, however, a much younger woman has briefly taken her place for a couple of shots. (00:50:05)

Speed (1994)

Revealing mistake: When Ortiz first sees Jack stranded beneath the moving bus, he lifts his head to tell Annie. But the pavement, as seen through the bus floor's opening, is completely motionless. (01:17:25)

Speed (1994)

Continuity mistake: The Suburban that swerves onto the LAX runway to retrieve Jack has no scaffold equipped on its driver's side, but we know for a fact that moments later Jack actually exits the bus and steps safely onto one. Somehow the Suburban has managed to gain a scaffold at cruising speed, but this couldn't have possibly happened unless a different, identical-looking vehicle with a scaffold pulled up at some point during the scene to take its place. (01:10:05 - 01:11:15)

Speed mistake picture

Other mistake: As the first bus explodes on its way from the cafe, we can see a blonde pedestrian casually walk past a window with her ears covered. At no point does she even stop to glance at the burning wreck. It seems (from her perspective) as though the explosion were merely an inconvenient loud noise and nothing worth noticing. (00:27:55)

Speed (1994)

Audio problem: When Sam is being loaded onto the trailer, Jack's mouth is visibly closed when we hear him say, "You got him? You got him?" (00:58:30)

An American Tail (1986)

Continuity mistake: Between the overhead and underwater views of an apple falling into a barrel of herring, the barrel's wooden cover completely changes shape. It's missing a large triangular-shaped section in the shot where Papa makes his appearance. (00:10:25)

Speed (1994)

Continuity mistake: When Jack starts tying a rope to the access panel, he faces the back of the bus initially but manages to turn completely right between shots, facing the side windows all of a sudden. (01:29:20)

Revealing mistake: After Lena Hyena plants a kiss on Eddie, he tumbles down the street and lands face-first onto a solid white line. Pavement is animated into this shot, however a reflection of the stage floor is still visible. (01:13:20)

Continuity mistake: When Lady tries walking into Jim Dear's bachelor party, several men are standing directly beneath the door frame. But nobody is anywhere near the frame one shot later where Lady makes her way through. (00:26:30)
