The Flintstones

Revealing mistake: When Wilma pulls the suitcase forward during the party scene, her fingers squeeze it, making deep indentations in it. (00:34:30)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: When Fred is pushing on the broken lever in the quarry he flies forwards. When he hits the ground you can see the outline of the edge of a crash mat being made through the sandy ground, behind his head. (01:13:40)

Hamster

Revealing mistake: Near the end, when Fred uses the rock to bowl over the bad guy, you can all-too-easily see his fingers make big indentations into the surface when he picks it up. Either Fred has the strongest hands in the world, or the rock is made out of something similar to paper mache.

Matty Blast

Continuity mistake: When the unconscious Barney is lying on the cart with the children, he has his head on his arm and his other arm is lying along his side. When, a few seconds later, you see this shot from further away, the positions of his arms have changed.

Trivia: Mel Blanc did the voice of Dino. This is only significant if you consider the fact that this film was made in 1994 but Blanc died five years previously in 1989. The film-makers used tapes of his original sounds from the 1960s TV show.

Question: On Fred's first day of his new promotion, he says "I'm only one man, Barney." To which Barney responds."Not from the back" and they both laugh. Could someone please explain this gag to me. I have tried for years to understand it, with no luck.

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: He means Fred is fat. That from behind, he looks big enough to be two or more people.
