A Kick in Time (1940)

A Kick in Time mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The Italian peddler puts some weighted horse shoes on Spunky to inhibit his movement. As the Peddler is leaving and says he will be right back, Spunky is facing him into the building. But then it cuts back from the Peddler to Spunky and suddenly he is facing out the building the opposite direction. It's only after this when he tries to move that he discovers his feet too heavy to lift, yet somehow he got turned around in an instant. (00:03:50)

A Kick in Time (1940)

Continuity mistake: Spunky is set on a stage at the auction once he is delivered there and he tries to run off to the left, but is grabbed by a hand and set back down. He looks around scared for a moment, and then it cuts to a closer angle and suddenly he is looking further to the left, has a tear in his eye, is standing up straight rather than sitting, a guy's face appears in front of him, and a hand is coming from behind him.

A Kick in Time (1940)

Continuity mistake: Searching for Spunky, Hunky skids to a stop when he sees a sign and looks up at it. Then it cuts to a close up of the sign reading QUIET Hospital Zone. Between shots, the sign becomes redder, and it appears the word Hospital becomes shorter, and other aspects of the sign change. (00:05:50)

Continuity mistake: Hunky takes off chasing the truck that took Spunky and tries to save him, but then trips and slides on his face and belly on the ground, coming to a stop. There is a large rock beside him. When the camera changes angles, the rocks design changes significantly. (00:01:40)

A Kick in Time (1940)

Continuity mistake: After the opening shot of Spunky and Hunky walking, they are shown grazing on some grass. Spunky sucks up a flower and then turns his attention to a dandelion. When he does, it cuts to a close up, and suddenly the dandelion has gotten much bigger, and the surroundings of Spunky change up quite a bit. (00:00:50)

A Kick in Time (1940)

Continuity mistake: Once Spunky is kidnapped and Hunky takes off chasing the truck, you see the truck going along the road passing just some grass and one large rock on its left side. Once Hunky catches up to the truck, it cuts to a side view close up of him and Spunky's head sticking out the back, and suddenly the truck is passing a very large rock that was not there in the previous shot. The rock is taller than the truck, so it would have shown. And then it's very obvious the background is then looped as the same huge rock passes the truck every few seconds repeatedly. (00:01:35)

Continuity mistake: Once the orchestra falls apart and begin fighting each other, the Lion gets made and begins ripping out his hair. Then some instruments smack him in the face and he falls backwards. It then cuts to a close up of him and suddenly an object, apparently part of the stage props, appears in the background at the top corner. It is not his podium seen in the previous shot. (00:06:40)

Question: At the end, the teacher makes Lulu write something on the black board 1000 times. It's difficult to make out, but what exactly is it she is writing?

Quantom X

Chosen answer: She writes "I'll never play hooky again."

Continuity mistake: After the inflated bird is popped by the fly, it lands on what appears to be an ape's head and begins spinning around and tap dancing on its head. The ape has both eyes open and looks pissed as he keeps playing his cello. Before the camera cuts, the bird has spun slowly so it's back is to the camera and the ape still has both eyes open. Then it switches to a different shot as another animal is about to smack the bird with his cello, and suddenly the bird is facing the opposite direction, and the ape has one eye closed. (00:06:25)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: A bird with a violin begins shooting off his bows like arrows, and they all follow the same trajectory and go over some flute dogs' heads. They don't duck in time for a couple of them and their wigs are taken off. The bows then fly and put the wigs on an elephant and a hippo, but at different angles. They should have been coming in at the same angle. (00:05:30)

A Car-Tune Portrait mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The Lion sees a cat in his orchestra sleeping and looks to the right of his podium (from his perspective). But moments later when the view switches to behind the lion, he is looking at the cat to the left of his podium. (00:04:35)

Continuity mistake: When the lion roars at the sleeping cat, trying to wake it, the hair in his mane next to his right hand keeps flickering in and out of frame and existence. (00:04:30)

Quantom X

Continuity mistake: As the orchestra begins playing, the lion is waving back and forth at each side as he conducts the music. In the far shot, his tail is not visible. But when it cuts to a close up of him, suddenly you can see his tail. It is large enough that the yellow tail should have been visible against his black suit in the far shot. (00:02:35)

Audio problem: When the lion walks on stage, the audience becomes completely quiet and all that can be heard is the sound of the lion's voice. Behind him is only a curtain that hides the orchestra from view. Once he finishes speaking, he turns around and the curtain opens, and suddenly you can hear the orchestra doing sound checks on their instruments and it is loud, the lion tapping his podium to quieten them so they know the concert is about to start. This means merely a curtain was keeping their sound check from being heard at all until it was open? (00:02:25)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After Link is turned back into an elf by Spryte's kiss, he stands up and draws his sword. Before he draws it, the shot changes a little to show the action. But several things change in that small cut. The handle on Link's sword changes up, his finger nails vanish, his left hand is suddenly balled up, and some of the moss on the wall behind him moves. (00:13:35)

Continuity mistake: When the Lion says, "Now, to an all musical program" he raises his arms and his shadow is behind him up on the curtain. But without him moving, it cuts to a far shot, and suddenly his shadow is on the ground beside him with one arm of the shadow up on the curtain. (00:02:20)

Revealing mistake: Laying in bed asleep, Lulu has a sucker swinging on a string to and from her mouth as she snores. When we first see her, after the sucker leaves her mouth the first time, her hair has a glitch. For a few frames, one loop of her hair vanishes, and then comes back. This repeats each time the sucker moves away from her. (00:00:45)

NetForce (1999)

Audio problem: When Alex is appointed head of Netforce, he looks down for a moment and says, "I don't know what to say." And then looks back up. His mouth is in clear view the full shot, yet never moves once during this line and is completely shut. The audio was just dubbed over the footage in post. (00:23:25)
