Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Continuity mistake: When Billy and Kate return to the Clamp building as the Gremlins hatch, look closely - Kate is wearing beige/tan colored pantyhose/tights in the first scene of them running to the building. ("How long do they take to hatch?", "Not long enough, come on!") Almost immediately after arriving, Kate is told to begin her duties as a tour-guide, and thus doesn't have time to change her outfit. However, in one of her next scenes, she is suddenly wearing brighter cream-colored pantyhose/tights. (And given her fairly consistent screen time as a tour-guide, it's clear she didn't have time to change this one part of her outfit).

Continuity mistake: When the crazy Gremlin pops out of the pot, his right arm swaps between being covered in noodles or not, back and forth between shots.

More quotes from Gremlins 2: The New Batch

Trivia: When the movie played in theaters, there was a scene where Dr. Catheter begins to tell Billy about the gremlins before the movie is interrupted by gremlins until they are threatened by Hulk Hogan. When the movie was released on VHS, the scene was changed to static appearing and gremlins constantly changing the channels. This caused many people who bought or rented the movie to think there was something wrong with the tape and took it back to the stores they purchased it from.
