Robocop 3 (1993)

Trivia: In RoboCop 2, the little league coach has no lines, appears on screen for a few moments, and even gets a listing in the credits at the end of the film. The same actor also appears in RoboCop 3 as the guy who defends the rebel base against Otomo, (he hits him with the metal pole), and even though he has several lines and appears on screen for a fair bit, he gets no listing in the credits for the film.

Robocop 3 (1993)

Continuity mistake: A blatant mistake if there ever was one. The rebel who is guarding the underground base whacks Otomo with a metal pole on the right hand side of his face, yet when he stands up, his mouth is dislocated to the right, instead of the left. How is that possible?

Red Dwarf (1988)

Season 6 generally

Revealing mistake: In several episodes, but mostly in series 6, we see lots of profile camera shots of just Lister and The Cat at the front of the cockpit in Starbug. Quite a few times you will see Lister mouth The Cat's lines so he knows when to start speaking and what to say.

Robocop 3 (1993)

Revealing mistake: When RoboCop gets his hand cut off by Otomo, he stands up and looks around him. We are given a normal shot of the base, but the screen moves in time with RoboCop's head movements. Surely this shot should have been the 'lined' picture that RoboCop has for his POV shots, and not the normal camera view we were given.

Robocop 3 (1993)

Continuity mistake: When RoboCop gets hit by the grenade launcher outside the church he flies backwards and suffers heavy damage. Yet, later in the film, he sets fire to a huge pile of explosives right beside him, and they have no effect on him whatsoever, even though they do manage to send a rehab several feet in the air and he is nowhere near the explosives. Surely RoboCop should have been damaged slightly or have even moved when the explosives went off.

Robocop 3 (1993)

Continuity mistake: RoboCop storms out of the underground base taking with him his hand attachment, but when he arrives at the police station he has the hand attachment on. A few scenes later he arrives at McDaggetts hotel, and now does not have the hand attachment on, and is back to using his normal gun. Then, when he returns to the underground base, he still is using his normal hand and drops the hand attachment on the ground. So in between all these scenes, where was he keeping his hand and the attachment? He was on foot all the time, and he obviously wasn't carrying them both...

Robocop 3 (1993)

Continuity mistake: When Otomo cuts off RoboCop's hand, RoboCop easily places his attachment in place of it and continues fighting. But his arm needed to be screwed off, and Otomo made a clean cut, so surely there would be bits of metal, plastic and wires that would have needed moving before RoboCop could put his attachment on?

Robocop 3 (1993)

Plot hole: Just because Niko is a fan of RoboCop doesn't mean she can hack an ED-209. Where would she get the model diagrams of an ED-209 to be able to find where he can be controlled from? Even during this scene, ED lifts the leg that Niko is working on and there's no sight of her.

Police Academy (1984)

Police Academy mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the start of the film, Mahoney is wearing a white shirt with badges on it from the company he works for. When he's being interrogated by Sgt. Reed the shirt remains the same until the last part of the scene. The camera stays on Mahoney and we can see that the badges on the shirt are gone. If you look closely, you will notice that he is even wearing a completely different white shirt, which now looks more scruffy and creased. (00:08:00)

Robocop 3 (1993)

Plot hole: Marie and Nikko show up with a huge police van, and lots of computer equipment. Are we to believe that they stole these items from a busy police station and no-one noticed? How did they get all those heavy computers and machines loaded into the van by themselves? Did the police not notice one of their SWAT vans missing either?

Padzter

Plot hole: The night of the La Resistance meeting, before Kenny appears as a ghost, Cartman can be seen putting a mirror and a rope into his backpack. These are items that The Mole requested they bring for the rescue operation, but they hadn't met The Mole yet. How did Cartman know what to bring? (00:41:25 - 00:59:15)

Continuity mistake: Mr. Hat is taken to Hell by Satan, yet just a few moments later, he appears back on Mr. Garrisons hand. (01:14:20 - 01:16:20)

Trivia: The 'sound of a dying giraffe' noise used by the boys is a reference to a character in the computer game "Doom 2" which mades this same sound when it is attacked. (00:59:55)

Padzter

Trivia: The pianist for Big Gay Al's song is Marc Shaiman, who helped Trey Parker with most of the songs for the movie. The piano makers are Felcher and Sons, and a 'felcher' is a man who gives a 'rim job' to another man. (A 'rim job' is something Cartman's mother made us all aware of earlier in the film). (01:01:45)

Continuity mistake: When Terrence & Phillip are in the electric chairs, there are red curtains behind them. In between shots, it changes to an American flag, and then back to red curtains again. (00:57:30)

Padzter

Continuity mistake: The whole time we see The Mole, he has nothing on his arms. His watch only appears when he wants to synchronise watches with the boys. (00:53:25 - 00:59:00)

Padzter

Plot hole: Christophe, or 'The Mole' as he was known, asks if the boys brought the rope. But why does he need any, he carries rope over his shoulder the whole time he's on screen. (00:53:30 - 00:59:15)

Padzter

Factual error: In the film we see Bill Clinton sign a document with his right hand. Bill Clinton is actually left handed. (00:34:10)

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Kenny dies, his heart explodes, leaving blood and guts all over the boys and the wall behind them. When the boy's mothers enter the room moments later, the boys, and the room, are spotless. (00:19:20)
