Phoenix

Continuity mistake: When Sue Ellen and Bryan are bouncing in the toy store, after he stops and she circles back, he is smiling. Cut to his face and his mouth is closed. (00:53:40)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: When Sue Ellen and Bryan are talking on their beach date under the pier, the water doesn't even come close to them until they kiss, when they are suddenly standing in an inch of water for the grunion fish. (00:44:55 - 00:46:15)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: When Sue Ellen shoots Gus with the water gun, the pattern changes between the closeup and the long shot. (01:23:35)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sue Ellen serves cereal in the salad bowl, the milk carton moves on the table. (00:32:25)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, when Kenny is leaving with his friends, the truck starts to reverse down the street. His mother looks at him from the porch with her head turned to her right. The truck backs up for about ten seconds at a decent speed as they call back and forth, but his mother keeps looking at the same point to her right instead of moving left with the truck. (00:03:30)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: As Rose says goodbye to Sue Ellen at the end of the movie, Sue Ellen's hands are clasped high on her chest. Cut to behind her as Rose drives away and her arms are lowered. (01:34:10)

Phoenix

Revealing mistake: The closing shot is obviously on a matte painting - the perspective on the ziggurat's corners is off. (01:42:15)

Phoenix

Plot hole: When Seth's piledriver gives out during the climactic fight, there are many vampires in the background politely keeping their distance while he tries to restart it. Similarly, they ignore him while both his hands are occupied with Sex Machine's whip, even though vampires are running around behind him to no apparent goal. (01:31:35)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: While Seth is talking to Carlos about the loss of his brother and Kate's family, Kate turns around to survey the damage. Two quick cuts later and she's facing exactly as she was before, down to the facial expression. (01:38:15)

Phoenix

Audio problem: When the Geckos shoot Chet Pussy, the sounds of gunfire don't match the visible gunshots. (01:00:25)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: During Santanico Pandemonium's routine, two dancers take the snake away so she can step forward. As they take the snake off, the second dancer is holding only a couple feet of the snake's tail, but in the next shot, the second dancer is holding the entire snake. (00:55:40)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: As Santanico Pandemonium begins her dance, she tosses her cloak off and a stage hand emerges to remove it almost immediately. The stage hand then disappears in two shots of Santanico onstage, then reappears folding the cloak. (00:55:00)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: Right after the Geckos capture the Fullers and are driving off, Seth is talking to Jacob in the front seat. The light and shadow on Jacob's hat change between shots on his face and shots on Seth. (00:32:00)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: After Seth and Richie capture the Fullers, Seth sends Richie outside to start the car. Richie picks up the keys, stands up facing Kate, then exits past her to the right. As the door closes, she is standing against the wall - he would have walked to the left to pass her. (00:29:00)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: When Seth introduces Gloria to Mr. .44, the gun is level and pointed at the door. Cut to over Seth's shoulder and the gun is pointed at the ceiling. (00:14:55)

Phoenix

Continuity mistake: At the motel, as Seth and the owner are talking, the owner is hunched over. It cuts to his face and he is standing erect. (00:11:50)

Phoenix

Factual error: When Richie shows the hole in his hand to Seth, it runs right through the tendons of his middle finger. Such a wound would prevent Richie from being able to open and clench that finger, but he doesn't appear to have any trouble. (00:10:35)

Phoenix

Factual error: The rock samples are from "22 years ago this month," and the solar model predicts a solar eclipse every 22 years. But in order for the sample records to be kept, they must be marked relative to an interplanetary standard. For the orrery to have consistently accurate meaning, it must be set to local years - revolutions of the mystery planet around the sun. One timekeeping is used for records that must be transferrable to other planets and the other for daily use like time of day, but the two cannot be mixed. This makes much more sense than applying the standard cycle to local time - it would totally ignore local events like day, night, and eclipses, all of which are very important.

Phoenix

Factual error: The movie is set in Transylvania, but the natives all speak German and with German accents (probably an homage to the book, but still incorrect). (00:14:30)

Phoenix

Revealing mistake: One of Peter Boyle's teeth on his lower jaw was painted black for that "broken grin" look. It can be seen reflecting in some scenes: when Frankenstein enters the cell with the monster and it cries, and later when the monster screams while killing the jailer. (01:15:30 - 01:28:40)
