Continuity mistake: As Clark is stapling the Christmas lights to the house, there are bits of snow and ice on his left-hand glove in the close-ups. But in the longer shots of Clark, the glove has no snow and ice present.

Continuity mistake: When Lou enters the classroom, the teacher's yardstick switches position from straight up and down to flat as the shot perspectives change.

Trivia: When the hobo puts on the Santa cap, he is imitating the mechanical Santa the kids saw in the window of Herpolsheimer's department store.

Elf (2003)

Deliberate mistake: In the orphanage scene, Santa's bag drops dead center in the fireplace. The noise of the impact gets baby Buddy's attention in a quick shot, and the camera shifts back to the fireplace. Now, the bag has shifted to the viewer's left when Santa's boots are coming down. The shift of the bag is presumably to make room for the boots coming down the chimney.

Jonny Quest (1964)

The Dreadful Doll - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: As Race, Jonny, and Hadji manoeuvre the sub through the tunnel, the scenes inside the sub show Hadji on Race's right side, but shots outside the sub showing inside the sub through the portal show Hadji on Race's left side.

Jonny Quest (1964)

The Dreadful Doll - S1-E12

Stupidity: The office Race is being held prisoner in has a thick wooden plank secured outside to prevent opening the door swinging to the outside, but the door was shown earlier opening to the inside. Furthermore, when Jonny rescues Race after lifting the plank, Race swings the door inside. Aside from the witch doctor guarding the shack, Race would not have been prevented from leaving.

Blazing Saddles (1974)

Continuity mistake: When Sheriff Bart asks Jim if he can shoot the dynamite from where they are, Bart's hands are on his hips. Quick cut and now his hands are wrapped around his gun belt, close to the belt buckle.

Supernatural (2005)

ScoobyNatural - S13-E16

Other mistake: In the original "Scooby-Doo" episode from which this episode is taken from, the house for the reading of the will was on an island as the Mystery, Inc. gang travelled to the house via motorboat. In this episode of "Supernatural", Sam, Dean, and the Mystery, Inc. Crew merely drive up to the house.

Kelly's Heroes (1970)

Kelly's Heroes mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The scene where Crapgame is telling Oddball about Kelly being a former officer, Oddball is holding a gold bar in his hand. The front shot of Oddball has him holding the bar at a low angle with the tapered top of the bar facing upward, while the shots over Oddball's left shoulder shows him holding it higher with the wider base of the bar facing upwards, instead.

Gilligan's Island (1964)

Gilligan vs. Gilligan - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When the imposter Gilligan is playing chess with Mr. Howell, the long shots show the imposter holding the spoon transmitter near the center of the table the chess board is on, whereas the close-ups show the transmitter close to the edge of the table.

Catspaw - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: After the heavy door lands on Korob, his right arm is straight down by his side. The next shot of Korob shows his right arm extended away from his body.

Factual error: A toy modern four-door automobile and a clear plastic ball can be seen as the children play when the Burgermeister comes in on his wheelchair. Both unlikely for a story set (presumably) in the 1800's, at the latest.

The Santa Clause (1994)

Continuity mistake: After Charlie gives the snow globe to Scott, the view of the back of Scott's head shows his hair and scarf, but the front view of Scott shows his winter cap all the way down to his scarf, which would cover his hair seen from the rear.

Scott215

Factual error: During Kris' "A Kiss a Toy" musical number, one of the kids has a Tommy Gun. Since the story is, at the latest, set during the 19th century and the Burgermeister's troops are armed only with spears, swords, and knives, a Tommy Gun should not be in this story.
