Continuity mistake: When Marty tells George how to flirt with Lorraine, they both enter the diner and Marty sits on the back of the counter but disappears between shots, only to reappear later on. Also, the extras around him change, although they're all dressed in similarly colored clothes. Check a man in a plaid jacket next to the blonde girl in pink, who disappears when Marty trips Biff. This continuity havoc was due to the combination of Eric Stoltz scenes and new Michael J. Fox reshoots.

Continuity mistake: When Michael J Fox's parent kiss and the family picture (with everyone standing on the grass) gets fixed, Michael places the photo on the guitar, gets very happy and starts playing the guitar enthusiastically. Seconds later, a brief shot of the guitar shows the picture with Marty only, his brothers are missing. (01:26:18)

Visible crew/equipment: At the drive in theater, Marty says he'll put the boots on when he gets there. The camera pans to the left to follow Marty and Doc as they continue to talk. On the very far left side of the screen, the shadow of the boom mic briefly dips into frame. This happens just before Doc walks over to the DeLorean from his car. (00:16:35)
1st Feb 2007
Visible crew/equipment: When Marty is with Jennifer in his new truck, as the camera cranes down to where they're talking, you can see a crewmember with a white shirt and some of the camera and crane. (01:46:10)
20th Aug 2014
Continuity mistake: Watch as Seamus hands Marty the baby, there is a definite "jump" and Marty is facing in almost completely the wrong direction, looking for a clue from the set's crew as to where he should be looking to catch the baby from... (00:24:20)
27th Aug 2011
Continuity mistake: Dan throws his umbrella and it bounces on the edge of the wastebasket but lands on the floor. When he walks next to the wastebasket the umbrella is now inside.
Suggested correction: It lands on the ground and stays there.
4th Jan 2022
Deliberate mistake: When the gangs meet in the toilets to set a date for the brawl, the mirror on the left is the only one opaque, most surely to avoid reflections of the filming crew.
25th Oct 2023
Visible crew/equipment: When Simon and Katya are in the helicopter, both are replaced by obvious stunts. Simon has dyed blond hair as opposed to his brunette stunt, while she has short and straight hair, but her stunt's is long and curly.
25th Oct 2023
Revealing mistake: When Simon is in the helicopter and shoots at McClane, check the metal strips next to his feet and the protruding metal parts where the squibs have been placed to allow for the pyrotechnics.
23rd Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: When Miguel is with the pedophile, he is given bread (or something similar) to eat. Shot changes, and the bread is suddenly bitten. The bread's length keeps changing several times between shots.
21st Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: When Merlin arrives from the future, he talks about it to Arthur and puts the crown on his head. The sword, resting against the throne, appears and disappears randomly all the time.

Visible crew/equipment: When Torch is in the Black Forest, watching the crystal ball, 4 big light screens are reflected on it.
18th Oct 2023

18th Oct 2023
Revealing mistake: The natives use a pair of nooses to trap the bad guys, but when they're lifted up, one can see the protruding hook and mechanism under their shirts.
18th Oct 2023
Revealing mistake: On the collapsing bridge, when the Phantom saves the kid, they swing on a rope hanging from the middle of the bridge. From a wide angle, it's very obvious that there is no possible way whatsoever that the short rope reaches the safe edge of the cliff. When the angle changes to the edge of the cliff, the rope is suddenly hanging from somewhere right above the edge.
18th Oct 2023
Revealing mistake: When the Phantom chases the truck, he holds onto a branch where he later stands to attack the truck. In the close-up, one can see it's an obvious metal bar to allow for a safe stunt.
17th Oct 2023
Revealing mistake: When Diana is about to jump off the plane onto the galloping horse, her hair moves wildly. When the shot changes, she has been replaced by a stunt who looks nothing like her and has her hair fixed.
6th Oct 2023
Continuity mistake: Sam points forward to an empty and clean road, to signal her mom where the tornado is. The car keeps driving forward and when the shot changes, cars have appeared next to it and the road is covered with leaves and branches.
30th May 2020
Revealing mistake: Before the car pulls up by the diner, after smashing a billboard, skidmarks from previous takes are visible on the ground.
30th May 2020
Revealing mistake: When the Overlord extends his arm outside the truck, lights up and electrocutes a cop the shadow that his arm casts is not real, but FX made. Problem is, his arm does not cast any shadow on the truck for a couple of shots.
Suggested correction: Again, watching the movie right now. His arm is indeed shown as a reflection.
