Continuity mistake: Kronk cuts the rope holding the chandelier with the dagger, leaving a cut piece of rope next to him. The chandelier falls towards Yzma, then she pulls a lever which opens a trapdoor below Kronk, and the cut piece of rope is now a lot shorter than it was when he cut it. (01:03:58)

Continuity mistake: When Yzma and Kronk are in Pacha's house, Yzma knocks her cup of tea off the table, then Chicha picks it up and sets it next to the teapot on the table. Three shots later, the cup has vanished from the table. (00:58:15)

Other mistake: Right before Kronk leaves Pacha's house, Chaca's hair has a green stick on the left and a red stick on the right. However, every other time Chaca is on screen, these colours are the other way around. (01:00:29)

Trivia: When Kronk tells Yzma that he mixed the llama potion into the three cups, she tosses her drink into the cactus on her left. While Kuzco is transforming and the shot switches back to Yzma, you can see that the cactus is now llama-shaped.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Pacha and Kuzco are drying off after they fall over the waterfall, the slot for the wearer's head in the center of Pacha's poncho is clearly visible when Kuzco takes it and uses it to dry himself off. Following the shot change between when Kuzco throws it and when it lands on the fire Pacha is trying to light, the poncho becomes just a solid green square towel with no hole for the wearer to put his head through, which is easy to see when Pacha hangs it backup on another tree. (00:32:07)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Pacha and Kuzco are hiding in a little room in the restaurant, the door next to them is closed. In the next shot, it's open.

Suggested correction: The door does not open "in the next shot." It's actually three shots later. When it cuts back to Pacha and Kuzco (second screenshot), Kuzco tells Pacha, "In a minute. I'm still hungry." So, while off-screen, Kuzco opened the door to leave the room and make an order.

Continuity mistake: When Kuzco and Yzma make a dive for the potion bottle, Yzma is turned into a cat simply by landing on the potion bottle. This suggests that a person only needs to touch the potion in order to be affected. However, when Kronk and Yzma are serving Kuzco dinner and are trying to avoid poisoning themselves, Kronk pours his potion drink on himself and is not affected.

Yzma: This isn't poison. This is extract of... Llama!
Kronk: You know, in my defense, your poisons all look alike. You might think about relabeling some of them.

Question: All of the vials that Yzma has are labeled, but how? They can't be inside the vale because they would be wet and Yzma couldn't have flipped the label up like she did in a scene, yet...there is nothing attaching the label to the vial. how is it attached?

Answer: It is probably attached with the equivalent of a piece of Scotch tape rolled over itself; I'm sure you've done that before. It wouldn't be visible to the naked eye, and Yzma would be able to flip the label up.
