This Island Earth (1955)

Continuity mistake: Three scientists escape from the lab. The car stops and two get out and go into a pond surrounded by water. They dip under the water as the car explodes. When they come up they are still surrounded by water. Next, the German scientist shows up and they dip under the water again. After the explosion the camera shows the two in the pond again but now they're surrounded by reeds.

This Island Earth (1955)

Character mistake: After Cal goes to the secret lab in Georgia, he and two others go into his new lab. When they enter a cat jumps up on the counter. Dr. Adams says "This is Neutron. We named him that because he's so positive." Neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative. It's protons that are positive. They should have named the cat Proton.
