Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Continuity mistake: After leaving Judge Doom to be flattened by the steamroller, Eddie runs over to the dip machine and turns off the ignition. If you watch as Roger and Jessica are about to be blasted with dip, the stream of dip goes from being on their left side, to right, then back to left again between shots. (01:28:35)

Continuity mistake: When Judge Doom is melting and is just about to die, the wide angle shows he's surround by a very thick cloud of yellow smoke that keeps us from seeing his face, then in the close-up it changes to a very thin smoke that allows to see his face, and then back to the wide angle and the thick smoke again. (01:31:55)

Continuity mistake: After saving Toon Town from Judge Doom, Eddie lowers the giant hook and starts untying Jessica and Roger. He throws one rope offscreen and the other just slips from the hook on its own. But in the following shot no rope can be seen on the ground directly below the hook where it should have landed.

Continuity mistake: In the climactic scene where the Red Car is about to "Dip" Roger and Jessica, one shot of Eddie (shot upward from the ground) also includes the hook that Roger and Jessica are hanging from. However, Roger and Jessica are not animated into this shot.

Continuity mistake: At the very end of the movie, when the cartoon characters start singing "Smile Darn Ya Smile" together, Just before the scene changes, the cartoon background is gone. When the cartoon characters lets Eddie, Roger and Jessica go to Toontown, the background reappears.

Suggested correction: No, the background is always there. When Eddie et al. appear the angle is shot from behind the cartoons. Then the humans start to walk and the camera is focused on the ground, then rises and the background is there. No mistake.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: While Valiant is driving through Toon Town, there's no continuity between what he sees ahead, and what is seen in the car's rear window seconds later.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Roger and Jessica are safe when the spray-machine breaks the brick wall. It then goes through the other side staying on the left side and moving far away from the debris. Angle on Valiant, and when back to the wall the machine has suddenly moved several feet to the right and is crossing the wall again.

Question: Does "pattycake" also mean something sexual? We were obviously at first supposed to think Jessica and Acme had sex, but if they were, why would she say "pattycake" and why does Maroon say "You're not the first guy whose wife went pattycake on him"? Am I missing out on something?

MikeH

Chosen answer: According to the director, Pattycake is the toon equivalent to sex.
