Chopping Mall (1986)

Continuity mistake: Allison stands six feet from the doorway as she tosses the lighted flare into the paint shop, at the killer robot, and then everything explodes, and she runs off left. But moments later, after the fire and smoke has died down, the camera pans back from the doorway wreckage, and she is suddenly lying wounded in the same spot where she threw the flare. When she should have been long gone out of there.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Other mistake: When Allison "crashes" into the paint store near the end, she merely leans against the glass and it instantly shatters, which would not happen without her swinging something extremely heavy or sharp against the glass.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Other mistake: When Mike and Leslie are fooling around, another moment cuts back to them now sitting up in bed, and her mouth covered in perfect silvery lipstick as she rummages through her purse for smokes. No way did she had time to reapply her lips after just having sex.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Visible crew/equipment: The fake spider that suddenly swings down in front of Allison in the hallway, and the one "thrown" at her as she walks through the mall at the end, are obviously prop pranks, as you can hear a fake laughing in the background during the latter. Very badly covered up by barking dogs and something whining.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Other mistake: When Allison runs into the pet store to escape the killer robot, she passes by a tarantula aquarium on her right, before crawling in to a hiding space below some dog cages. When the killer robot crashes into the pet store after her moments later, it knocks over two aquariums on the right, and one on the left.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Continuity mistake: The perspiration on the girls faces changes while they are up the air vents. In a few shots sweat is dripping from their faces, but in other shots their faces are completely dry.

Chopping Mall (1986)

Revealing mistake: The laser blasts the robots fire instantly exterminate or destroy most everything in their path. However, when the guys are shooting at them during the mall blast-out, the lasers suddenly don't do much damage at all.
