Spawn

Continuity mistake: When Wynn is talking to Al about the mission to blow up the plant, Wynn puts his cigarette out in the ash tray in the scorpion bowl and there are 4 butts in the ash tray, but a minute later when the camera shows the 2 scorpions fighting, the ash tray has no cigarette butts in it.

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting with the clown, who is in his big reptilian monster form, Spawn is thrown against a fence with pointed tops. He is impaled against them, but the ones right next to him are shaking as if they were made of rubber, not of metal. In the next shot, the spikes are stiff and solid and made of metal.

Continuity mistake: When Cyan is given the clown doll at her party, it spins around and spits (or breaths) the green stuff and stops, but immediately in the next shot, the head has made a 180 Degree spin, which is impossible in that time.

Continuity mistake: When Spawn digs up his body, he finds the locket that says "forever" and screams. When he is done his arms are far apart, but in the next shot they are close together.

Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, when Clown and Spawn are in the alley, Al gets up and walks away and Clown follows. You can see two extras in the background walking away from them. When it cuts to the next shot (an extreme wide shot), suddenly the extras are much, much further back than they just were. (You can use the dilapidated car in the background for reference... in the first shot they are in front of it, but in the next, they're behind it).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Clown farts in the alley and pulls out his underwear, his hand goes from his side to behind him instantly between cuts. (He starts to reach back in the first shot, but his hand is still at his side, and instantly in the next shot it's all the way behind him).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Clown and Al arrive at the graveyard, after Clown says "This is where old folks go after Florida, son!," watch Al. He goes from being right near the ground to almost totally sat up instantly between shots.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Al collapses in the alley and says "Feels like my skin is about to explode!", watch closely. In the first shot, he's about to flop down onto the right side of the stairway... but in the next shot, he collapses onto the left side.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the director's cut, when Clown squeezes the cream out of the donut in the alley and says "What does this remind you of?", suddenly the donut vanishes from his hand in the next shot. He didn't put it down... it just disappears between frames.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, when Clown pulls off his clown outfit in the alley, he starts to throw it to his right side. However, two shots later, it's visible on the ground behind his left.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, Clown puts down a drink and some snacks on a garbage can and rips off his clown outfit. When he puts the drink down, it falls over. However, just a few shots later, suddenly it's standing back up again. (He never picked it back up between the shots).

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator for the first time, there are some shots of him walking down the alley looking for Violator while holding his gun. In-between shots, Spawn goes from holding his gun with one hand, to both hands, back to one hand, etc. repeatedly.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator the first time, there's a moment where a homeless man finds Spawn's gun, and Spawn grabs it and spins around to point it at Violator... only to realise Violator has vanished. In the first shot of Spawn grabbing his gun, he's right next to the homeless man, and the homeless man begins to turn his head in Violator's direction. It then cuts to a wider shot, and suddenly Spawn is a bit further away from the homeless man and the man is no longer turning his head.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When the paramedics are draping the blanket over the body of Zack's dad, his head is tilted towards his left shoulder. When the shot changes, his head is now titled towards his right shoulder. Note: timecode refers to the director's cut. (01:05:15)

More quotes from Spawn

Trivia: At the dinner ceremony where Spawn attacks Wynn and kills Church, you can see a red-headed woman in a blue gown walking among the patrons in the beginning of the scene. The camera focuses on her briefly, but for a reason - look at her earrings. They are Spawn insignia. This is a reference to the angel Hellspawn hunter Angela, who wears those same insignia in the comics as trophies of her victories over previous Hellspawn. Very clever reference.

Chosen answer: He is squatting the entire time in every scene. The suit probably helped in ways to balance himself whilst squatting, so he could hold on much longer than normally.
