Ask Dr. Doogie - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Doogie goes into his en-suite bathroom to shower, he takes off his dressing gown completely before pulling back the shower curtain to get in, at which point he gets temporarily blinded by a fan taking a photo of him with a camera. A few seconds later, he's shown putting his dressing gown back on, even though there wasn't enough time for him to have picked it back off the floor and start redressing.

Spy Kids (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Carmen and Juni change from their uniforms to casual clothes in the store, Carmen is wearing a 3/4 length sleeved red top and a black jacket with matching cropped trousers, which she continues to wear up until they're at Machete's. But later on, when she and Juni ditch their wetsuits at Floop's castle, she's suddenly got a different top on.

The Monkees (1966)

The Prince and the Paupers - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: When the Monkees (excluding David) and Ludlow come out of the cupboard that they hid in when Wendy Forsythe came to visit, you can see some items in there on shelves and neatly stacked. When David (as Ludlow) and Michael accidentally open the door a bit later (thinking they're going into a different room), they get covered in the items as soon as they open the door. Plus some of the items that fall on them were not even in there before.

Continuity mistake: When the Beast shows Belle to her room and then says she will join him for dinner before shutting the door, Belle is wearing her cloak. She's still wearing it when she runs over to the bed, kneels down and starts crying. When we see her again (after the Gaston scene which is in-between), she's no longer wearing the cloak, and she couldn't have removed it at any point because her position next to the bed hasn't changed since she started crying and she doesn't move again until Mrs Potts taps on the door to offer her a cup of tea.

Continuity mistake: When Mia arrives at the cafe she works at the morning after her and Sebastian first dance together, she has a yellow bag, but when her and Sebastian walk out of the cafe later, she has a larger red bag.

Continuity mistake: When Wallace and Gromit are being chased by Preston in the sheep truck and Gromit grabs the window cleaning ladder, he puts it up in the sidecar before climbing it and having the bike do a 360 degree turn. But after the turn is complete and he climbs back down (the bike is still in motion at this point), the ladder has magically moved onto the motorbike.

Way Out West (1937)

Continuity mistake: When Stan and Ollie arrive at Brushwood Gulch, they show Mickey Finn the deed they've got for Mary Roberts, and it has a couple of holes in it from where Stan has been keeping it in his shoe; Ollie even unfurls it to show the camera it's got holes. But in every other shot after that, whenever the deed is shown, it's got no holes in it whatsoever and is perfectly clean.

South Park (1997)

Towelie - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: In this episode, Cartman discovers Sharon's used tampon in the bathroom bin (which causes Sharon to buy the boys the Okama Gamesphere so that they don't mention it any more), but in season 2's "Spooky Fish", it is indicated that Sharon has started her menopause (Aunt Flo won't be visiting any more) so her periods should have stopped by this point.

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When the Goonies are standing behind the waterfall in the cave underneath the wishing well, they've got dry hair. But just before Mikey walks through the waterfall, you can see that his hair is soaking wet already.

Continuity mistake: When Martin Blower and Eve Draper get pulled over for speeding by Angel and Danny, Eve's arm alternates between being on the door frame and being by her side at the start of the conversation between Angel and Martin Blower.

Heather Benton

Continuity mistake: When Tony and Tia are being driven to their hotel, the same footage is shown behind them a few times e.g. A truck turning off the road when their driver shouts at an overtaking driver and a few minutes later when he shouts at the same driver again.

Hare Do (1949)

Continuity mistake: When Elmer realises that the old lady who attacks him is Bugs in drag, and goes back to hassle him before Bugs screams for the usher, you can see that there is no-one sitting next to Bugs, but when Bugs and Elmer show up at the theatre at the start, the whole row (save the seat on the far end where Bugs sits to start with) is filled with people.

Heather Benton

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Tito steers the trolley back down the bridge edge, Georgette looks neat and calm, but a little later on after Jenny hugs Oliver when he wakes up, it cuts to Georgette and her hair is all messed up and she looks petrified.
