| Mistake | Date |
|---|---|
| Continuity: After Ward enters the barn in reverse gear, his right hand swaps between raised or lowered, depending on the shot. | 2nd May 13 |
| Continuity: Before Ward puts the ammo in the cannon, when Wood greets Mrs. Douglas the string to pull the blind changes length back and forth depending on the angle. | 8th Jun 11 |
| Continuity: After Sitarski hands Donna her doughnut there's a close-up of both his hands over the counter, yet a frame later, from a different angle, his right arm is on Donna's back. | 7th Jun 11 |
| Deliberate 'mistake': When Betty falls in the traphole, Maxine is right behind her, yet when the angle changes she's not only in front, but has turned 180º. This allows for a funnier gag, but is still a mistake. | 7th Jun 11 |
| Continuity: Inside the plane, when Donna tells Loomis that she can't have sex, he backs out, yet a frame later he's on top of her again. | 7th Jun 11 |

|
| Continuity: Before the dance contest Donna paints her lips next to a Dumbo sign. The white paper coming out of her bag disappears in the side shot. | 1st Jun 11 |
| Continuity: When the security bar is placed on the guys sitting on the ferris wheel, the rifle appears on the back shots, but disappears on the front ones. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: When Betty and Sitarski are in the garage, the dirt on the car and the trail of hand prints on it keep changing all the time. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: In the barn with Ward, who is covered in dust, Wood presses the gas pedal and Ward's head bends backwards for a brief second. In that angle, his head is spotless, only to return back to dusty in the following shots. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: When Ward is about to nail the crown on the front door, his hand is facing right. A frame later it faces upwards. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: When the Douglas' home is sliding down the cliff, it has moved a long distance seen from sea level view, but very short from Ward's POV. | 29th May 11 |
| Deliberate 'mistake': Though the loose ferris wheel keeps rolling for over a mile, the guys seated on it remain in the same position all the time instead of rolling down and getting crushed by it. Furthermore, they disappear in the wide shots and the wheel appears empty. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: After Ward enters the barn in reverse gear and comes to a stop, he is spotless, yet from a front shot, a frame later, he is covered in white dust. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: When Ward's tank drives in reverse and destroys the barn, the mess on the door and wall differs between the outside and inside shots. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: When Ward turns the cannon and destroys the stuff in his home, the mess differs between shots, with stuff fixing itself and relocating somewhere else. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: When Ward's tank rampages through his home's front door, strangely enough there are two exact angles of it, one right after the other. On the first, the door falls down, but the next time it's dragged several meters ahead. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: When the Douglas kids's bedroom plummets, the kid on the left is facing left, yet in the close-up he is facing the right. | 29th May 11 |
| Continuity: After Kelso releases the sidecar's screw he makes a quick right turn, yet a frame later, from the wide angle, the handlebar and the bike are both facing straight. | 28th May 11 |
| Continuity: When Kelso drives Sitarski in his sidecar, his white scarf swaps from over his chest to over his shoulder, back and forth. | 28th May 11 |
| Continuity: When Kelso faints on the street a plastic Santa Claus falls on him, feet over Kelso's head. However, in the close-up, the Santa has turned 180º. Two seconds later, when the soldiers come to rescue him, Kelso and Santa have turned 45º to the right. | 28th May 11 |
