Continuity mistake: In the sequence set in present time when the Turtles interact with Kenshin, once he faints seeing the giant Japanese-speaking rat the shopping bags on the table changed position - the blue bag the wind knocked on the floor is back, and the red bag is up and not horizontal. (00:12:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Leonardo shouts "He's a man!" when Kenshin appears in the Turtles' hideout; he is holding in the foreground with the right hand his book about katanas, but in the next shot it's on the table, under his left hand. (00:11:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: April materializes in the same spot as Kenshin; her headset is placed away from the collar of the kimono. She is still in the same position when she spots the priest, but the collar is underneath the headphones now. (00:11:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Kenshin throws a temper tantrum in a room with several statues. The doors open and a strong wind blows; the position of the scrolls on the table changes between shots; they are first closed by the edge of the table, then unfurl from a position much further behind. (00:10:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Walker's henchmen dump on the court Lord Norinaga's sentinels and walk away. They are already shown posing with evil smirks and all that in the next shot while Walker is doing his threatening speech. (00:08:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: We first see Lord Norinaga in a close-up looking at his son's arrival. His helmet is tied under his chin, but when he walks in the helmet's cord is split above and below the chin. (00:07:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the introduction of the turtles, Michaelangelo's bandana goes from the back of the shoulder to the front and then both ends behind the shoulders between shots. (00:04:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Kenshin loses his sword battling with the guards at the beginning of the movie. The sword gets stuck almost horizontally in a tree stump. Then one of the guards grabs it as he rides by with his horse, but the katana is now stuck in the tree at a sharper angle which makes it possible to reach for it and grab it on the fly. (00:02:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The broken donut looks different in Rahzar's palm from the close-up to the moment before the fight begins. (01:08:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the first phase of the final showdown with the monsters, Shredder calls them to battle shouting "Tokka! Rahzar! Let the games begin." Midway through his shout-out there's a cut, and the Ooze canister is tilted differently. (01:06:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Once Chief Sterns has delivered his off-the-record speech about his off-the-record record, April chases him around to actually get something off him; in the background you can easily tell by the sudden shift in sunlight on the store signs and tents that time has passed between the two shots. (01:00:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Raphael is captured, the Foot soldiers hold him in front of Tatsu, and then Shredder. The side of his head receives direct sunlight or not depending on the camera angle. (00:46:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: April runs inside her office to get the call. Her boss angrily says "She's busy with her news manager" etc.; to the right side of the screen, notice a man in a pale blue shirt and beige pants. April in the next shot picks up the receiver and says "Donny?"; in the background, that extra is only now walking to the desk he was previously standing in front of. (00:38:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Turtles are looking at the computer in the TGRI lab. The Foot Clan sneaks into the room just as the computer shuts down. Michaelangelo's bandana has both ends behind his head, but they are already in front of his shoulders in the reverse shot before he turns. (00:26:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Michaelangelo does his "Wax on, wax off" little gag. Notice on the counter two buckets. The metal bucket has no rags in it...except, it does when April arrives and Mike grabs the buckets, dragging that rag back. (00:20:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Raphael dunks Keno into the laundry cart. Keno pulls himself up; between the Costume Designer and the Music composer credits 5 seconds pass but during the cut on Raphael kicking butt nearby the sheets he's on top of shifted a lot. (00:04:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Keno strikes a cool pose after downing three opponents at the beginning of the mall scene. As it cuts to a closer angler, the pose obviously changed; his shirt appears poofier and bares a huge part of his black undershirt. (00:03:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Watch when Keno puts the pizza box inside the bike's trunk as he bodyshames the unimpressed girls; the tape that seals the box is loose and partially damaged. It's nicely flat and whole when he opens the trunk in front of her home, and with a different shape at its end when he shouts at the robbers raiding the mall. (00:02:15 - 00:02:50)
