Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III

Continuity mistake: When the Turtles are climbing the wall to get into the garbage-chute that leads to the prison, you can see Donatello's bandana tail hanging down towards the wall just as if they were crawling on the floor. (01:09:05)

Continuity mistake: When Raphael meets Yoshi and talks to him about being a kid and having fun, if you look at Raph's wrists you'll notice that he is not wearing any wrist bands as he usually does as with the rest of the turtles. However, when Raph puts his hand on Yoshi's shoulder there is a close-up of Yoshi's head and shoulders. Look at Raph's wrist in the close-up and you'll see that a wrist band has appeared. When the shot changes back, his wrists are bare again. (00:56:50)

Continuity mistake: When the turtles go sliding down the ramp down into the sewer, watch the inside of the ramp before Raph comes out and you can tell where they stooped recording and restarted it. The shadows seem to change places. This also happens right before Leo comes out too. (00:34:00)

Continuity mistake: Whit and April are fighting by the spring, and just before it cuts to Mitsu preparing an arrow, Elias Koteas is pounced by a guy wearing colorful rags in black, orange and yellow patchwork, a blue and white pattern bandana and black and white striped legwarmers. Behind Mitsu, meanwhile...a guy with the same horrid fashion taste is charging. What are the odds. (00:39:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Michelangelo's rolled over by Mitsu after being knocked off his horse, his samurai mask is under his chin. A shot later, after the camera's on Mitsu, it's suddenly gone.

Rob245

Continuity mistake: When Mitsu removes Raph's helmet, she grabs the lower edge of it. Shot changes and her hand is positioned higher.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: April is moving the iron sewer door but from the opposite angle the door is lying still on the floor despite her pants of effort and despite the fact that a shot later the door has been moved.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Michelangelo is about to be lifted on the cart Mitsu raises her hand and commands something to the soldiers. A shot later her hand is lowered.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Michelangelo is about be knocked down by Mitsu, the galloping horse arrives at where the camera is and comes to a stop. When the shot changes he is galloping again.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Michelangelo drops the sceptre it lies perpendicular to some green leaves. When Mitsu picks it up the leaves are on the left.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: Mitsu picks up the arch that's lying against the tree, but it wasn't there when she knocked down Michelangelo.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Michelangelo's horse is about to stop galloping, the wide shot shows his right hand lowered and his body bent downwards, but in the close-up his hand is raised. This swaps back and forth. Seemingly, the wide shots were of a puppet of some sort used for security reasons.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the soldiers smash April's Walkman, pieces get scattered all over the place. In the close-up they're very close together.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: The pattern of the fabric below the sceptre changes between the first and second shot. (00:09:41 - 00:10:07)

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the scroll falls downwards, it is smooth, but from the immediate next angle it's got a big wrinkle. (00:09:54)

Sacha

Continuity mistake: At Norinaga castle, Kenshin walks towards the Lord and kneels down. The number of people around them change between shots. Also, the horse on the far right that started walking away is suddenly next to the soldier.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When the turtles jump over the table, the tablecloth suddenly becomes way shorter between shots. (00:04:01)

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Raphael meets Yoshi and talks to him about being a kid and having fun, if you look at Raph's wrists you'll notice that he is not wearing any wrist bands as he usually does as with the rest of the turtles.

When the shot changes back, his wrists are bare again. (00:56:50)

Question: Does anybody know the name of the music when Kenshin kisses Mitsu? I know it's in several of the movies, but I can't find it.

Paulie Larson

Answer: It might just be incidental music, but it sounds more like a variation of "Yoshi's theme" (an original score for the film), which was meant to sound like traditional Japanese music.
