Other mistake: During their computer hijinks, Leo asks Don "Can you bring up the file?", which the Italian dub mistranslates in a nonsensical "Can you block the file." (00:25:30)
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)
Other mistake: In the TGRI building, the whole computer scene is the kind of nonsense you can expect from something really 90s and childish. Forgetting the fact that Donatello's big fingers are obviously too big to push the keys, the database screen scrolls independently from his movement, and when he tries to "decode" the database, whatever it means, he just types back the serial number. It's all just waving hands around to make it look like you're doing something. (00:25:05)
Revealing mistake: In the rooftop scene with Splinter and the canister of Ooze, the blurry fake backdrop is not in the least convincing. (00:21:30)
Plot hole: Splinter knew all along the name of the company who made the Ooze, and literally sat on this vital piece of information for over a decade just because he was too stupid to simply look the name of the company up, written on giant letters and far from being hidden - he merely had to open the yellow pages, no doubt. Nobody with such a telling piece of evidence about their own origins (the canister that mutated them is in his hands and has the logo of the company with the name spelled out) would be unable to find out something this obvious. (00:22:00)
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)
Plot hole: The timeline of the movie is quite strange; April obviously got her job back and made advancements in career, living in a sweet two-floor loft. At least -some - time must have passed, many pizza deliveries and all that, but Shredder just woke up from the pile of garbage he ended in at the end of the last movie and the Foot hasn't attempted any reaction or organization yet, implying it is set mere hours after the first movie.
Character mistake: When Mike fights by the concession stand at the mall, the Reuben sandwich is misspelled on the menu in "Rueben." (00:06:35)
Revealing mistake: When Donatello is messing around with the puppet, in the background the stuntmen who are fighting Leo and Mike are doing incredibly sloppy choreographies, or lack thereof, in particular those in the middle (around the doorframe) who literally run on the spot without doing anything. (00:05:45)
Continuity mistake: In the sequence with Michelangelo doing tricks with the yo-yo, whenever Donatello is visible in the background he's delivering a spin kick to the same enemy. (00:05:20)
Revealing mistake: While Donatello is doing the "Ninja Cowboy" gag, in the background Michelangelo slips away from a dogpile and lets the goons beat each other up. It's meant to be a mere background choreography and it shows, since the stuntman on top is "pummeling" the others with the slowest fake punches. (00:05:05)
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)
Revealing mistake: During the opening scene a clear divide between head and body of the Turtles suits is particularly obvious in a few sequences, such as when Donatello hogties a baddie and shouts "Ninja Cowboy!" raising his head, or when he plays dummy bouncing left and right. (00:05:20)
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)
Continuity mistake: Keno stops his motorbike in front of April O'Neil's address. The passersby don't transition from the first shot to the second. (00:02:45)
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)
Continuity mistake: When Peach collapses on top of Mario after the weird TV invasion, Mario's arm is on top of hers, but in the closer shot that follows his arm is distant and in fact it is behind hers the moment he turns a little.

2 Guns (2013)
Continuity mistake: Bobby is in the barn with Papi Greco. He gave him the passports, and thus asks "Whatch'ya got for me?" The bull in the pen, who has been close to them all the time, is suddenly in the corner by the wall between shots. (00:07:50)

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Continuity mistake: When the flaming severed arm falls in front of Lars and Sigrit, its position is different between shots; it fell across the horizontal lines of the railing's shadow, but in close-up it's parallel to them, and when they kick it, it rolls over obviously different spots (easy to tell by the width of the shadow). (00:26:45)

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Continuity mistake: During the exhibition of "21st Century Viking", one of the bar patrons calls the attention of the others; his hand changes position on the glass between shots, the guy with a shaved head and short black beard is holding his beer with his right hand instead of both, etc. (00:21:45)
