Sharknado (2013)

Visible crew/equipment: At Fin's house, while they're all sitting on the stairs, the moving shadow of the boom mic can be seen at the top right corner of the screen, particularly when Nova says, "We're out of ammo," and "You have a son too?"

Visible crew/equipment: When Fin tells Baz to drive faster while the police are pursuing them, just as Baz says, "Fast enough for ya?" we can see a crew member's arm and dark hair outside the vehicle, at the bottom right side of the screen, behind the side mirror.

Other mistake: While Baz, Fin, and the others are on their way to Matt at Van Nuys Airport, they're blocked in every direction by police cars, and there's a closeup of the rearview mirror which shows their vehicle's clear view through the back windshield, so we can see the police patrol car behind them. The problem is that the view out the vehicle's back windshield is not clear, but actually obscured by camo netting.

Continuity mistake: When they all walk into the liquor store in the exterior shot, there's parallel parking at the curb outside the store, but in the interior shot looking out we can see that there's perpendicular parking with steel sidewalk barriers.

Sharknado (2013)

Visible crew/equipment: When Fin is gearing up on the bridge, just as he tosses the rope over the rail we can see a crew member's head as he's ducking down behind the rail to Fin's left (viewer's right).

Sharknado (2013)

Other mistake: When Baz decides to speed through the area surrounded by police cars, there's a closeup of the vehicle's rearview mirror showing the reflection of a state police patrol car that's behind them, but the problem is that Baz's vehicle does not have a rearview mirror, as seen in all the exterior shots.

Sharknado (2013)

Continuity mistake: After Claudia says that the tornado's coming, when they're all loading the chopper with the propane bombs there's a closeup of someone's hands lying the bombs side by side - it's a flipped shot, note the backwards writing.

Continuity mistake: When the captain of the shark finning boat climbs below deck and finds the cabin empty, the flask is lying on its side on the table, but then the flask stands itself upright.

Continuity mistake: While Fin's talking to Baz about Plan B, when Baz tells Fin to stay with his family Fin turns around to look at them in the background, but in the shot of Fin's family we see Fin there holding propane bottles, even though he's actually still talking to Baz elsewhere. He cannot be in two places at once.

Sharknado mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Fin's in the water with the surfer girl, many of his closeups are flipped - note the Tilos logo on the neck of his wetsuit changes between Fin's left, the correct way, and his right which is backwards.

Sharknado (2013)

Continuity mistake: The characteristics of Nova's large, long, raised scar change considerably from when we first see her at Fin's bar, to later in the day when Matt asks her about it while they're in the surplus warehouse, and it's not even noticeable in many shots where we can see her left thigh between her cutoff shorts and knee.

Continuity mistake: At Fin's house, Baz's watch suddenly vanishes from his left wrist when the water rushes into the house, and then it reappears when he runs from the shark and reaches the stairs.

Sharknado (2013)

Continuity mistake: During the school bus rescue Fin rappels down on a rope tied off on the bridge, but the method of how the rope is secured to the bridge keeps changing, and inexplicably there's a pulley with a cable leading from the bridge to somewhere off camera down below.

Continuity mistake: When they're all in the 'movie car', Baz is wearing his leather necklace and bead necklace, but when they get to the flight school the bead necklace vanishes, yet when they all walk into the surplus warehouse that bead necklace is back round his neck, and when they're outside it's gone again.

Sharknado (2013)

Continuity mistake: During the scene at the start, the fishing boat engaged in shark finning changes to an entirely different vessel in some shots - note the sails, helm, etc.

Other mistake: The Hollywood Sign has 9 letters - "HOLLYWOOD." When the Hollywood letters are flying through the air toward Fin and the others, there are at least 8 letters in the sky, but when Nova, Fin and the others are driving away from the bridge we can see "L, Y, and O" still up on Mount Lee, which means that only 6 letters should have been in the air earlier.

Sharknado (2013)

Deliberate mistake: When a shark lands in front of TCL Chinese Theater (Grauman's), it leaves a shark shaped indentation on the ground right above the square concrete block with Steven Spielberg's signature, handprints and shoeprints. Fun homage to the 'Jaws' director. But in fact the actual concrete block, dated 5-16-84, is rectangle and shared by both Spielberg and George Lucas, and it's also not located at the center of the forecourt in front of the doorway.

Revealing mistake: When Fin decides to help the kids on the bus and says, "Water's rising, I'm gonna go up to the bridge and rappel down," two shots later the camera zooms in on Fin's car up on the bridge, but the problem is that this shot is shown in reverse - all the vehicles in both lanes are going backwards.

Sharknado mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At Fin's house, at the bottom of the stairs there's a table and a ceramic lamp at the corner of the walls, and when Collin shouts for Fin's help he's standing at that corner and the lamp has been knocked over under the water, but after Collin's demise the lamp is upright and back in place.

Continuity mistake: At the flight school, when Matt, Fin, and the others are hiding from the high winds, one of the magazine pictures is pulled off the wall beside the doorway, but when they all exit after the wind dies down that picture is back up on the wall.
