Highlander II: The Quickening picture

Continuity mistake: During the big fight scene near the end, the baddie manages to drop the hero down an elevator shaft in a warehouse. The scene ends with a shot looking up the shaft at the bad guy laughing demonically, looking pretty mucky and with hair all over the place. Cut to the next scene where the bad guy appears in a room where the shield beam is generated. Now he is completely clean, has a different hairstyle, and if I remember right has a completely different costume on. (This is because the final fight is actually a combination of two separate scenes - the scene in the elevator shaft was originally meant to come halfway into the film, but the scenes around it were cut, so it was added into the final battle. It has been restored to its original place in the "Renegade" cut of the film, but this mistake is still present in the theatrical version).

Eve of Destruction picture

Continuity mistake: During the driving sequence on the mountain road, the foliage shown is inconsistent. For example, when the guy in the BMW cuts Eve off and yells at her through the passenger window, orange autumn leaves can be seen reflected on his windshield. Shots outside the vehicles immediately before and after this shot show only evergreen trees in the area. After this, when Beamer Guy is shown talking on his cell phone, shot from inside the vehicle, the trees seen outside his driver-side window are significantly different than those shown in shots outside the car.
