Flash Gordon mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Zarkov watches Kala's corpse, the amount of black goo changes between one frame and the immediate next one. This happens BEFORE her body starts collapsing.

Suggested correction: You seem to have missed the point of the scene. Kala is dissolving into black goo. You even see her body collapse as the liquid flows out of her.

No, you are wrong; this happens before she decomposes. Mistake reworded.

Continuity mistake: When Ming is about to die, he slips away from the spike, which has parts of it covered in green blood. When Flash sees him, the spike is fully covered in green blood.

Continuity mistake: The pilot hands Flash a People magazine to sign. When Flash sits down to autograph it, one can see it's already signed (seemingly from previous takes). Then he scribbles on the same spot again.

Revealing mistake: When Biro stabs the Imperial soldier with his sword, it's obvious that the sword is angled to miss his body. (01:30:50)

Dr. Hans Zarkov: We are only interested in friendship. Why do you attack us?
The Emperor Ming: Why not? Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.
