Bad Taste (1987)

Continuity mistake: When the chef swipes the knife, he hits another alien in the chest cutting him vertically. The cut is obviously not that long or deep, however in the next shot the alien is slashed right across his chest very deeply. (00:58:50)

Bad Taste (1987)

Continuity mistake: When we see Derek land on the rock after taking the fall down the cliff, behind the rock he landed on there is grassy hills and then some big rocks. Later when they say birds were the only thing he can relate to, it shows a shot of Derek covered in gulls, but now the huge rocks in the background scenery have gone, and in addition, the position of his legs have changed too. (00:23:25 - 00:25:55)
