South Park (1997) - 24 mistakes in series 5

Other: When the boys cause a mini tremor by blowing up the girls' base, the time at which it occurs is strange because when they do it, both Stan's parents are at home (even though they both have jobs), Ms. Choksondik and Mr. Mackey are at Choksondik's house getting it on (indicating that school is over) and the other teachers are still at the school.

Continuity: When Osama is holding the dynamite, the light is at the end of the fuse, yet about 3 seconds after the guards surround him it explodes.

Plot hole: How was Cartman able to afford a fairly lengthy TV ad, when he had already spent all his money on the theme park? Cartman took all his money with him to buy the theme park. After buying the park, he runs the TV ad mocking Stan and Kyle. Soon after, when he hires the security guard, he reiterates that he had spent all his money to purchase the theme park. Cartman would not be able to get a loan (he is too young), even as a co-signer. Cartman's mother is also not wealthy enough to give him the money.

Revealing: Mr. Mackey's glasses do not have the part that goes over his nose unless he is looking sideways, then it suddenly appears.

Continuity: Butters' mom is holding a knife, pointed at her shoulder, but in the very next shot it is down near the cucumber, and then goes back.

Audio problem: When the British knight beheads an executive in the office and gets shot through the glass the sounds of these three things aren't there.

Continuity: When Cartman finds the cotton bud, whilst he's examining it, the controller changes positions in between shots.

Audio problem: After the news anchor says his first sentence, his voice changes, almost like a different person.

Continuity: In the background we see an ambulance with "South Park Hospital" written on it. It is supposed to be called "Hells Pass Hospital."

Continuity: When Osama is video taping his message, Kenny is sitting on the left side chair but when you see the video on the news, Kenny is setting on the far right side next to the goat. The other characters except for the goat change places as well.

Plot hole: When Scott Tenorman shows the other kids a video of Cartman doing his "piggy" act, the angle of the video shot shows that it could only have been taken from the place where Scott was standing when Cartman originally did it - but Scott is seen at that time to have no video camera or any way to have recorded this.

Continuity: At the end, the IRS takes half of Eric's money in their hands. Next shot, a load more money has appeared on Eric's truck.

Continuity: When Timmy and Jimmy are fighting (when Jimmy's kneeing Timmy in the groin), on the first hit, Timmy has the American flag on his right arm and a yellow circle on the other. On the second hit, the circle is now a yellow ring. On the the fifth hit, the right arm has the yellow ring on it, then he flips over and the American flag's on the other arm.

Continuity: In the scenes where Cartman is miserable because of all the people in the park, when Kenny is on the roller coaster and he gets a pipe through his head, the kids who were with him change when the picture of him on the ride is shown.

Continuity: When Miss Chokesondik first lectures the girls on STD's the words "Sexually Transmitted Diseases" appear on the blackboard although partially obscured as it is a narrow shot of the teacher. The view then changes to a wide shot of the blackboard and nothing is written on it. Miss Chokesondik then proceeds to write "Sexually Transmitted Diseases" on the board.

Continuity: During the first classroom scene, Token is in the back with Kenny partially in front of him, but when we see the closeup of the projector with Token in front of it, we don't see Kenny anywhere.

Continuity: When Kyle and Stan show up to the Chili Con Carnival, we see in the background a woman with a little girl walking towards the right and Kyle and Stan at the left walking towards Eric's booth. When Kyle and Stan get there in the next shot, the woman and the girl are still walking, but they are in the same place as they were when the shot cut. This makes Kyle and Stan able to walk very fast apparently.

Continuity: When Cartman is eating his chili, he almost empties the bowl before he stops to talk, then the shot goes to Scott then back to Cartman and now the bowl is almost full again with a little chili sticking up above the brim.

Other: When Butters is travelling down the river in his mom's car, the passenger door opens just before the car hits the rock.

Continuity: When Butters' mom paints his face with the roller, the paint is the color of the wall rather than the color she is painting.
