The Clan of the Cave Bear

Revealing mistake: When Ayla gets her leg cut by the lion, the claw that cuts her doesn't look like a lion's paw (it looks like a bear) and you can see the "blood" is already on the paw and coming out of it as it dragged across her legs.

Joel Amos Gordon

Continuity mistake: The cave bear tears the head off the man with the blue eyes. In the very next shot there is no trace of blood anywhere on the bear.
