Continuity mistake: When Nuclear Man steals the Statue of Liberty, its color keeps swapping between blue and green all the time.
Factual error: While in space, Superman and Nuclear Man's capes are flapping. Since it is a vacuum, there is no air, therefore the capes shouldn't flap. Likewise, on the moon, the dust and dirt are moving too quickly to be in a micro gravity situation.
Revealing mistake: When Nuclear Man blows the first manhole cover up, you can see the small plug-like device that was in the barrel of the ejector device as it flips over.

Later on, before the family exits the house the tornado moves in slo-mo again. (Laserdisc and international extended editions).
Continuity mistake: When Superman flies to save the girl inside the tornado and the family exits the basement there's a truck by the entrance door filled with hay. Half a second later the truck is gone and reappears behind the family, but now it's empty. (Laserdisc and international extended editions).
