Radio Bart - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: When Homer, Marge and Sting are down the hole and Sting is digging, Homer is wearing a vest. But in the next shot when they find Bart and Homer moves Sting out of the way, he is wearing a shirt. (00:20:50)

Homer Alone - S3-E15

Audio problem: When Lisa screams "Mom" on the way to school, she just leaves her mouth open and doesn't close it. It should sound like "Maaaaaa" if she keeps her mouth open. (00:03:20)

Homer Alone - S3-E15

Audio problem: When Marge is running errands, Homer gives her his bowling ball with a bottle cap stuck in a hole. She then takes it to Nicks. When he says, "Sorry lady, you've got the wrong Nicks," he shakes his head and makes an "Ohh" shape with his mouth, not saying anything. (00:03:50)

Homer Alone - S3-E15

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Maggie rips of the top of her bottle, the milk spills everywhere, including on Marge's face. After this Marge goes really crazy and starts screaming. Right before she does this the milk on her face disappears. (00:04:50)

Homer Alone - S3-E15

Deliberate mistake: Arnie says that he drops his bagel. When he does he starts to say it, but when we see the helicopter it has just fallen out. If he dropped it at the time he did, then it would be much further down and wouldn't be visible in that shot. (00:05:20)

Tree House of Horror V - S6-E6

Question: Homer travels back in time and causes changes by what he does in the past, like stepping on a bug. I once saw a movie with the same basic plot: some people travel back in time and are told to be careful not to disturb anything, but when they return to their time everything has changed. In the end they discover it was because they stepped on a butterfly. Does anyone know the name of this movie?

Answer: I'm not sure if this is the one you're thinking of, but an episode of "Ray Bradbury Theatre," called "A Sound of Thunder," dealt with a similar matter: a group of hunters travel back in time to hunt dinosaurs, only to find things have changed when they get back because someone stepped on a butterfly.
