Futurama (1999) - 80 mistakes in series 1

Continuity: When Fry falls into the cryogenic chamber his whistle drops right next to the chair. When it cuts, the whistle is gone.

Continuity: When Fry and Bender are in the museum and locked in the "Villains" room, Bender breaks the two girders in the window, and then his arms falls off. As he puts his arms back in, you can see behind him that the girders are back in place in the window.

Continuity: When Fry first meets Leela, there's a panel on the wall beside him. It has one red button at the bottom. In subsequent shots it has two buttons.

Continuity: When Fry is queueing for the booth, he opens the piece of paper, showing the picture and writing. Just before he steps in to the booth, it's changed colour and gone blank, then in the next shot it's back as before.

Continuity: When Amy starts cleaning Bender with the pick, there are papers on the desk between his head and a pile of books. They disappear in later shots.

Continuity: When Fry and Leela get to the moon landing site, Leela climbs in the moonlander hatch with the oxygen tank to which Fry's oxygen hose is connected. The hose is visible as it leads in to the hatch. When Leela pops her head out the hatch, the hose is suddenly gone. Then in the next shot, it's back, but lying underneath the hatch.

Continuity: When the team first meet the Mayor, the writing on the Mayor's nameplate disappears after it is first seen, and the button on his desk that he pushes wasn't there before.

Continuity: When Hermes is handing over the "Standard Legal Release" to Leela there is a red pen lying on the sheet. When it cuts the pen is brown and is lying beside the sheet.

Other: A few of the liquid people are shown wearing clothes; while you can usually see through the people to the walls, etc, behind them, you can't see the clothing through them.

Continuity: After Leela wipes the egg off her face, her cloth and cup are in front of her on the table. After Fry gives his little speech, they have disappeared.

Continuity: When Fry and Bender are at the bar, the barman hands Bender a bottle of liquor. He takes a big swig of it, but the level in the bottle remains the same.

Continuity: In the scene where Leela is telling Fry how even his food is recycled (just after they have seen the video of the origin of the garbage-ball) you can see both Fry's drink can and sandwich on the table. After the closeup of Fry his sandwich has disappeared but in the next full-table shot it's back (albeit moved to Fry's right along with his drink can).

Other: When the crew are leaving Fry's new apartment, Amy slips on the banana skin again and falls over, and for some reason Fry tries to shut the door without her leaving. Maybe it was easier than drawing her getting up, but still worth a look.

Plot hole: Whenever Leela arrives and everyone starts beating up Fry to make him cry out the emperor, it shows Dr. Zoidberg pinching his leg and later, sitting next to the wall, tired out with Bender and Amy. However, if he's there, then what is keeping the Trisolians from coming through the hole in the door that Zoidberg was plugging with his tentacle?

Continuity: Most of the objects on the Mayor's desk disappear (e.g. the photograph, the lamp) when Professor Farnsworth starts to write his plan on it.

Continuity: When Fry is trying to buy the Z-ray from the salesman, the salesman has a red spot on his forehead. When Fry gets dragged away, it disappears, then later on it comes back.

Continuity: When Fry and Bender are furnishing their new apartment, Bender drops his cigar on the floor. It's still lit, but no smoke is coming from it even after Fry takes a puff.

Factual error: When the Moon Patrol officers throw Bender out of the airlock onto the moon's surface, they are exposed to hard vacuum, but they aren't wearing space suits. Throughout the episode it is established that the moon's "atmosphere" is a vacuum and protective suits are necessary.

Revealing: When Fry starts his speech with "I, Fry", the podium is casting a shadow underneath him, but he isn't.

Continuity: When the team are gathered round the table at the beginning of the episode, note their positions when the video screen is turned on. When they see Fry drying his hair, Leela and Bender have each moved up a chair, and Zoidberg has also moved, and seems to have taken half of his previous chair with him.
