3 continuity mistakes - chronological order

(5 votes)

Continuity mistake: During the "Limbo Rock" segment, the scene changes from shots of the council members dancing at Tilted Acres to Penny and Tracey's parents watching it on TV. The queue of the council members waiting in line to go under the pole changes between shots.

Continuity mistake: When Amber and Link first drive up to Amber's home, there are two young twin boys walking past the car. It then cuts to a close up and we see the same twins walk past again.

Continuity mistake: During the "Shake A Tail Feather" dance, the non-council members in the background are dancing along in close-up shots, but just watching in the long shots.

Audio problem: When Corny introduces himself at the auto show, the audio is not in sync with his lips.
