Continuity mistake: After Barin stands up on the spiked ring his whip keeps changing positions depending on the angle.
Continuity mistake: While fighting against Barin, Flash's whip lies on the floor and keeps changing from rolled to straight between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Zarkov is waving a piece of cloth to signal Ming their position, Flash and Barin are standing behind, but disappear when Ming watches Zarkov on his screen, and reappear afterwards.
Continuity mistake: After Barin saves Flash from the Arborian beast Flash's shirt is clean, a frame later from a different angle it's covered in mud.

Continuity mistake: When the meteorite falls on Munson's bed the glasses and papers on the blankets keep changing positions between angles.
Revealing mistake: In the plane, when the eclipse occurs, the inside of the plane including Flash and Dale's faces turns to a bright fakish red; an impossible situation that gives away the lighting filter used to dramatize the eclipse effect.
Continuity mistake: The first time we see Flash waiting to ride in the plane he has no sports bag next to him, but the next shot he does, and in the wide outside angles of his car the bag is nowhere to be seen.
Revealing mistake: When the movie starts, hot hail starts to fall, but in the close-ups it just falls on a tiny area on the ground, in the rest of the wide angles the hail is gone, it neither falls nor is seen on the ground.
