I'm with Lucy picture

Continuity mistake: When Lucy has purchased an orange tree and catches a taxi, its number is different than the one that drops her off at Barry's shop.

Lone Star State of Mind picture

Continuity mistake: When the convict comes back to say sorry for killing Earl's dad after the shootout, watch every shot of Tinker in this scene. In one of them, you can see Tinker's back teeth shiny white and clean, while his front teeth are his usual rotten yellow colour. Obviously, the make up artists never applied the fake yellow teeth to the back molars.

Continuity mistake: In the animated sequence, just before the kids destroy Sister Assumpta's office, Skeleton Boy's cast remnants switches from left arm to right arm and back to left arm. The left arm is the correct side as Tim (who is Skeleton Boy) had his cast on his left arm. (01:20:00)

Suggested correction: Your observation is correct, but this isn't necessarily a "continuity" error. The nature of comics or cartoons lends itself to imagination, creativity, humor, etc. Drawing comics is less tedious these days, thanks to computer programs and "cut and paste" techniques; the chances of a cast accidentally placed on the wrong arm are slim to none. Skeleton Man's "drawing" has many inconsistencies - number of ribs, teeth, finger bones, EYEBALLS or dark holes - with comics, it doesn't really matter.
