Continuity mistake: In one shot of Lilo in the spaceship near the end of the movie, her family picture disappears.
Continuity mistake: Pleakley tells Jumba, "You look like a monster. We have to blend in." It then cuts to a wide view of the street, with Mulan Wok restaurant located between an outdoor produce market in an alley and Kara's Electronics store. When Stitch snarls at hearing the bike bell, in the next shot of Lilo's "friends" showing up on their bikes, we see the electronics store and the alley's produce market, but the Mulan Wok restaurant storefront is quite missing in between. (00:28:35 - 00:29:05)
Continuity mistake: While Nani tries to obtain a job at Mrs. Hasegawa's produce market, Lilo tells Stitch about Elvis Presley's model citizen traits. The lightning bolt on Lilo's red wagon is in the opposite direction than in other shots. The lightning bolts also vanish in long shots while Lilo has the wagon with her. (00:42:30 - 00:43:10)
Continuity mistake: While Lilo is listening to Elvis on the record player, Nani pokes her head through the door's dog flap and notices all the nails that Lilo hammered into the door jamb. Nani then uses the claw hammer to pull out one nail at the bottom, but the problem is that the lowest nail did not actually exist in the previous shots. (00:15:40)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie, a few seconds after Lilo attacks Myrtle, all the girls, including Myrtle, gather behind the director. Myrtle's bracelet of leaves is still on. Then, when it cuts to her, Myrtle says, "Ew, she bit me," and the bracelet is gone. (00:13:10)
Continuity mistake: When Nani brings Mr. Bubbles into her home, she spots the paper on the fridge that says "Home Alone," and she runs over to hide it. In this shot you can see that the top of the fridge is empty. Then in the next shot a green towel is hanging down off the top. (00:10:55)
Continuity mistake: When Nani discovers the pot overheating and smoking on the stove, it's a large pot with a wide handle atop the lid, but then it becomes an overheating small, flat pan with a round knob on its lid. The stove's control knobs change as well. (00:11:05)
Continuity mistake: When Lilo shows Stitch her bedroom for the first time, we see a hula girl lamp on her bedside table. Then when Stitch is on the floor across the room, building "San Fransisco" out of books and toys he reaches over and drags the lamp toward him as if it had been on the floor beside him. Moments later the lamp is back on the table, and the mess is gone.
Continuity mistake: When Lilo is running up the beach in the initial shot of her, it then cuts and Lilo stops, takes out a camera, and takes a photo of a man. However the bushes/branches behind Lilo disappear and reappear a few times between shots. (00:10:40)
Continuity mistake: There's a light switch beside the home's front door that disappears in some shots. Like when Nani, Stitch and Lilo are at home passing from stairs to the entrance, you can see the light switch close to the book shelf. When they reach the entrance, the light switch has gone.
Continuity mistake: During the "bedtime" scene, Stitch finds a picture of Lilo's family. Look toward the back of the room to the left of Lilo as she scolds Stitch by saying, "Be careful of that. You don't touch this. Don't ever touch it." You can see a lei hanging on the outer corner of a painting easel. Stitch then jumps down to the floor and attacks Lilo's doll, she scolds him and Stitch rolls up to the easel and proceeds to destroy the picture on it. You can see that the lei is no longer on the easel but is now hanging on the window behind Lilo, from which she removes it and places it around his neck.
Continuity mistake: In the kitchen, when Mr. Bubbles kneels down beside Lilo, his "COBRA" tattoos are on the knuckles of his right hand. However, when he removes his sunglasses, those tattoos are missing in the close-up, and in other subsequent close-ups showing his right hand, such as when he confronts Nani about being jobless. (00:18:05)
Continuity mistake: When Stitch returns to the house, he runs into the kitchen and sees Lilo; behind him, there's a display shelf with plates hanging on the wall beside the doorway. After Jumba is knocked off his feet by the explosive roller-skate rag doll, Jumba removes the display shelf from the wall and uses the plates as weapons against Stitch. Then he sets the shelf down on the floor amidst the debris. Jumba and Stitch continue fighting, and a few shots later, while Lilo tells Mr. Bubbles about the aliens wanting her dog, the display shelf with its plates is once again hanging on the wall. (01:00:40 - 01:01:40)
Continuity mistake: At the Galactic Federation HQ, when Captain Gantu begins to read the charges against Jumba, in the first shot facing Jumba, note the buttons on his jacket; in the following shots, Jumba's buttons switch to the opposite side. (00:00:30)
Continuity mistake: While Jumba is in the house searching for Stitch, Lilo helps Stitch hide a small explosive device inside Scrump, the rag doll. When Stitch pushes the roller skate with Lilo's doll across the floor, in the close-up the skate's two buckle tongues are on the right, but in the next shot the tongues are on the opposite side. (01:00:25)
Continuity mistake: When Nani tries to open the back door and tells Mr. Bubbles to wait outside, the back door has a door knob and an upper deadbolt lock. Then, when Nani opens this door from the inside, there is only a door knob of a different style without a keyhole, and the upper deadbolt lock is gone. As Mr. Bubbles enters the home, the deadbolt lock is back on the door. In later shots the door knob also has a backplate, and it disappears along with the deadbolt lock. (00:17:20)
Continuity mistake: Lilo takes the headdress off a redhead girl during a fight at the dance practice; a few seconds later, none of the girls have their headdresses on. (00:12:45)
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bubbles visits Nani's house for the second time, he first meets Stitch. Stitch, throws the book he's holding at Mr. Bubbles' head. Nani then grabs Stitch up in her arms and proceeds to apologize to Mr. Bubbles. Before she grabs him, Stitch was standing upright, just in front of and to the left of Nani. However, Nani reaches right in front of herself to grab Stitch. Nowhere does it show that Stitch moved. Also, when Nani picks Stitch up, she has him in her arms upside down, facing Mr. Bubbles. Since he was standing upright, facing Bubbles when Nani grabbed him, Stitch would not have ended up in that position.
Continuity mistake: When Jumba fires his plasma blaster at Stitch, the little alien catches the plasma, then throws the plasma ball at Jumba's head, where it bounces off and hits the record player, which begins to play "Hound Dog." Two shots later, when Jumba says he loves this song, a lid support hinge now appears on the record player, and its power cord is gone, etc. (01:00:10)
Continuity mistake: When David saves Stitch from drowning, several sea shells suddenly appear on the sand in the close-up, but disappear in the wide angle.
Answer: There are two times when this happens the first time he is holding his guns. The second time he is holding a frog.
