The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter

Audio problem: When Bastian puts Auryn under his shirt, there's a "bling" sound like Auryn hits another piece of metal, like a medallion or necklace. However Bastian isn't wearing any other metal. (00:11:55)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Bastian and Atreyu are sitting by the fireplace you see Atreyu put his arrow to the ground. When it cuts to a closeup he has the arrow in his hand again. (00:36:15)

Audio problem: When Nibbley says "oh yes, explain it" to Tri Face, his beak doesn't move. (00:14:15)

Revealing mistake: Every time there is a wide shot of the dragon flying it never flaps its wings. But when there is a close up, it is flapping its wings. (00:28:10)

Mortug

Other mistake: When Bastian and Atreyu gets to Xayide's castle, laser beams are are searching the ground for the intruders. Right before Bastian gets hit by the laser we see him running for Atreyu. Then we see light (obviously from a spotlight) being switched on and hitting the rock which Bastian jumps on. However we see the light from the spotlight move out of position as if the person controlling the spotlight thinks that Bastian will run further off the rock. When it cuts the light is back on Bastian and the rock. (00:39:00)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: Right after Xayide dies we see a shot of two monsters. One of the monsters explodes and the particles from the explosion hit the other monster making it break in half before it explodes itself. (01:15:25)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When all the egg warriors are splitting you can see the eggs are cracked even before they split. (00:42:40)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: Right after Atreyu discovers that Xayide is stealing Bastian's memories we see Atreyu and Falcor sitting on a cliff with an entire landscape in the background. It is easy to see the whole thing is fake, cause the camping place which they sit on shimmer and moves. The camping scene has been shot earlier and is now placed on a fake background, and someone is adjusting the picture. (01:00:15)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Bastian stands in front of the monster spraying it in the face with a spray can, you see Bastian stretching as far as he can, but he still can't reach any further up than the monster's chest. When it cuts, Bastian's hand is in the monster's face. (00:47:30)

Mortug

Continuity mistake: When Bastian is holding the toast up in the air you first see a piece of tomato sliding out and falling down. When it cuts you see a tomato and some salad falling down. Then again when it cuts and the pieces falls to the floor the tomato is suddenly sliced and you see some pickles. (00:02:25)

Mortug

Deliberate mistake: When Bastian comes running up the stairs by the harbour, you can see a black couple on the right. The woman is wearing a grey coat with a black vest and a white shirt. The man is wearing a black coat, black shoes and white socks. When it cuts to Bastian running across the street, you can see the exact same couple wearing the exact same clothing crossing the street, but this time they are not walking together. The extras were used twice. (00:11:10)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Xayide and the monster are sinking to the ground it is obvious the scene is being played backwards as the last monster has leaves falling up from the ground onto it. (01:07:30)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When one of the monsters shoots out of the floor, it comes through what seems to be a square plate covering the hole under it. It is visible because the plate gets pushed up and we can see the edges of it. (00:18:25)

Mortug

Revealing mistake: When Tri Face switches his face we see that the scene is suddenly cut from a doll to a human as his collar changes during the shot. (00:14:15)

Continuity mistake: When Bastian pushes the monster down the hole, you see Bastian hitting the monster with his right arm stretched out. When it cuts, Bastian hits the monster with his right shoulder. Best seen in slow motion. (00:47:10)
