Continuity mistake: Vera stands to turn the TV off in the close shot and a second later, in the aerial shot, she repeats the movement.

Superman III (1983)
Continuity mistake: The file footage of the torch shows it's burned around the rim. When the shot changes to fiction footage the burning is gone and the metal is spotless.

Superman II (1980)
Audio problem: In the Fortress of Solitude, when Superman kneels before Zod, we hear Lois sobbing, but her mouth and body don't move.

Visible crew/equipment: Lighting focus reflected on the cosmonaut's visor.

Superman III (1983)
Continuity mistake: When Superman fixes the tower of Pisa, the Italian seller turns his head around. The movement cuts to show a new angle but the new movement is totally different to the previous one.

Deliberate mistake: French officers and firemen speak in English between them.

Superman II (1980)
Continuity mistake: In East Houston, after Ursa says "your general wishes to speak" a sudden change of light takes place and her face swaps from shady to very bright.

Superman II (1980)
Continuity mistake: Before the East Houston scene, the rear view mirror in the cops' car is skewed in the outside shots, but straight in the ones inside.

Superman II (1980)
Continuity mistake: Man in a yellow shirt disappears after Ursa stops the bus in Metropolis.
5th Nov 2006
Superman II (1980)
Deliberate mistake: When the villains rampage the White House, the flag's base remains on the ceiling, and the flag pole falls inside the house. So the final scene with Superman carrying the flag and its base as if it had been previously stolen or destroyed, is nonsensical, but it looks very patriotic indeed.
5th Nov 2006
Superman II (1980)
Continuity mistake: In the Niagara falls, when Superman brings Lois a hot dog, the wider angle doesn't show a woman with a beige sweater coming form the right, who suddenly appears in the close up.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Plot hole: Nuclear Man flies through the floor and ceilings of the Metropolis tower without touching anything or anyone; but an outside shot shows the facade exploding for some reason.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: After smashing his head, Superman sends Nuclear Man flying away. At first, Nuclear Man is conscious and with his head pointing upwards. A frame later he is unconscious and the head is laying down.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Audio problem: On the moon, Superman smashes Nuclear Man's head against his knee. The clonk is heard before the hit (even forgetting that sound can't be heard on the moon).

Superman III (1983)
Continuity mistake: In the end, when Brad jumps on the bed, the wide shot shows him stepping on the right end of the mattress, but the close-up shows him stepping on the left end.
2nd Nov 2006
Superman III (1983)
Revealing mistake: When Superman fixes the Pisa tower, there's a wire on the left side, most probably the system to move the prop.

Mission: Impossible 3 (2006)
Continuity mistake: When Ethan is running through the Shanghai streets, he passes a man holding a vase. In the immediately following wide angle the man has vanished.
