Spontaneous Combustion picture

Continuity mistake: Lisa drives Sam to the hospital and is met by Dr. Marsh.

Cop Target picture

Other mistake: Tough beat cop Farley Wood in his spare time built a special electronic machine to feed his cat. He needs to take off for Miami at 3 PM. When his cat is eating before his departure though, the clock on the machine says it's "12 AM", which would be midnight, not noon.

Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III picture

Deliberate mistake: After Ryan and Michelle finish changing the flat tire and are surprised by Leatherface, he chases Ryan around the back of the car and smashes the windshield. At the moment the camera is in the backseat shooting out, we see the chainsaw with the chain popped off and hanging. My best guess is that it was done intentionally (for safety reasons) because the saw was close to Ryan. The crew must've been too lazy to completely remove the chain and just popped it off the track instead. (00:25:25)

Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection picture

Continuity mistake: When Mrs. Chavez is executed, the whole crime scene is wrong. Her body is about 3 feet from where she was shot (the revolver used was not sufficiently powerful to move her that far); the blood spatter is on a wall, not the floor; and is not spatter, but is painted on. The entry point is by her shoulder blade - there would not be that much blood, and the body she was cradling is nowhere to be seen.
