Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge

Revealing mistake: When Toulon's puppet stage is set on fire, the flames in the foreground look rather like they are projected from a regularly set row of blow torches, rather than erratically flickering flames on a wooden floor. (00:25:05)

Other mistake: Toulon dons two Nazi uniforms to make his escape. But with him as a relatively skinny old man and with his beard (since no Wehrmacht or other Nazi personnel came with nothing more than moustaches), and not to mention being recognizable via the 'Gesucht' ('Wanted') flyers, he would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

Visible crew/equipment: Near the end of the movie, when Major Krause is in his office, when Blade cuts his leg you can see a crew member's hand holding on to him.

Revealing mistake: When Toulon and the puppets start attacking Major Kraus, the weather changes from sunny to stormy back & forth.

Plot hole: In the first film, Toulon fled to America and, when the Nazis found him, committed suicide in 1939. But this movie, effectively the prequel to the franchise, opens in 1941.

Other mistake: When Major Kraus and his substitute driver inspect Lt. Stein's corpse, look closely at Stein's chin and collar. Despite the fact that he should be a corpse by now, Stein is still breathing. (00:37:20)

Trivia: The filmmakers wanted to make a puppet that would be the perfect "opposition" to the evil Nazis in the film. They came up with the idea for a cowboy puppet, since he could represent a popular American archetype, and of course the Americans opposed the Nazis in the war. They then combined the cowboy with an old idea for a six-armed ninja puppet, resulting in the popular puppet "Six Shooter."
