The Little Mermaid mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the "Kiss the Girl" song a bunch of fish swim up underneath the boat, and the water is seen to be very deep. After the boat is knocked over however, Ariel and Eric are standing in the water which now appears to be only a few feet deep.

Continuity mistake: When Gaston comes in to propose to Belle, his boots are clean until he puts them up on the table, then suddenly they're covered with mud. (00:17:25)

Continuity mistake: In addition to the other mistake of Robin crashing through the window that's obviously made of paper - when he first comes through, he makes a hole in the middle, but some of the window is still intact around the outside of the window frame. When it cuts back to Robin a second later, however, there is no "glass" in the frame at all.

Rock Star (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Emily is watching Chris's audition, in the close-up she is standing still. But then it cuts to the wide shot, and she's rocking back and forth.

Pretty in Pink (1986)

Continuity mistake: After Blaine is told off by Andi at school, he runs into Steph in the stairwell. Steph is smoking a cigarette, but when he puts it out, it's still almost at full length.

A Simple Plan (1998)

Continuity mistake: Nancy throws a snowball and it hits the windshield of Jacob's truck. It leaves a distinct blotch of snow where it hit, but in the reverse shot, the windshield is clean.

Pet Sematary II (1992)

Continuity mistake: Right after the bully has been killed by the motorcycle, in the wide shot, everything from his forehead to his chest is a totally mangled, disgusting mess. A little while later, though, in the close-up, his face, although bloody, is completely intact and recognisable.

Independence Day (1996)

Continuity mistake: Given the direction that the spaceship is traveling as it passes over the Mall in Washington, D.C., the White House should be completely in shadow by the time the Capitol is covered. This is not the case. Also, the shadow should spread over the White House from the left to the right, but instead it goes from the front to the back. (00:22:45)

National Velvet (1944)

Continuity mistake: At one point towards the end of the Grand National, the horses are seen running the wrong way around the track - clockwise, instead of counterclockwise.

Independence Day mistake picture

Continuity mistake: On the television screen that has a map of where all the ships have landed in the Eastern Hemisphere, every city is identified by name, except for Berlin, which is just identified as "Germany." (00:26:50)

Grease (1978)

Continuity mistake: During the dance contest, when Kenickie and Cha-Cha are dancing around like crazy (when she puts her foot up on his shoulder), you can see Danny and Sandy in the background, standing on the sidelines. Given that they're the last couple on the floor at the end, they should still be out dancing at this point.

Hook (1991)

Continuity mistake: When Peter gets hit with the baseball his son hit, it looks like in the shot behind the flying ball, that it's going to miss his head by several inches. But when it cuts to the front angle, the ball hits him squarely in the head. (01:28:05)

Grease (1978)

Continuity mistake: In the middle of the dance contest, Patty Simcox does a funny front walkover, and comes dancing towards the camera. Over her shoulder, you can see Sonny running up behind her. But suddenly it cuts to another angle, and Kenickie is running up behind her to lift up her dress, and Sonny is nowhere to be seen.
