Continuity mistake: In the scene where they are playing the bone-organ to escape, the Fratellis walk across the beam then climb the rocks to get to the room where the Goonies are. In one of the rocks there is a tall metal post sticking up. A shot shows one Fratelli brother stick his hand on this post to pull himself up, but in the next shot the hand is gone and a moment later the Fratellis emerge from the water.
Continuity mistake: In the attic, after Chunk breaks the frame, in the overhead shot there is a long piece of glass still attached to the frame, but as Mikey and Chunk kneel to lift the frame, that long piece of glass is gone.
Continuity mistake: When Brand turns on the water in the kitchen sink Mouth is sitting on, in the closeup shot it's a very different sink and faucet. There is even a yellow bottle of detergent that isn't there in the wide shot.
Continuity mistake: When Data activates his 'slick shoes' on the log bridge, the heels of the shoes pop open to reveal the 'slick shoes' mechanism which starts spraying oil. In the next shot though, they show Data walking across the log, the heels of the shoes are closed, and the oil squirts out of holes in the back of the heels apparently.
Continuity mistake: All the Goonies get soaked while in the Old Moss Garden wishing well, but when they are seen again in another part of the cave they are all dry, and there is not a sign of being soaked.
Continuity mistake: Right after Troy is humiliated at the wishing well, the movie cuts to a television food program, with Sloth's reflection visible in it. The problem is that Sloth's face is noticeably different in this reflection than the rest of the film. For instance, his left eye is only a bit lower than his right eye now, instead of it being considerably lower like it usually is.
Continuity mistake: When Mikey takes the skull necklace off Chester Copperpot, he accidentally pulls Chester's skull off his body. When Mikey does this, the skull is still touching the body, just detached and at the wrong angle. But the next shot we see with the skull, when Brand goes to place the skull back on the body, the skull is about a foot away from the body.
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Perkins delivers the papers to Brand at the house, the men are holding umbrellas. The umbrella handle on the left is facing outward, but after it cuts to Brand then back to the men, it is facing inward and then changes again after another angle change.
Continuity mistake: At the end when the father is about to sign the contract, and right about the part where Rosalita starts screaming in Spanish, the first page of the contract is folded up a little. In the very next shot, all the pages of the contract are flat.
Continuity mistake: At the Astoria Country Club, when the first shower handle disappears into the wall, the three surrounding tiles break off entirely from the wall. After the next few handles disappear, the wall with the first disappearing handle is shown, but now the square tiles are intact and only cracked.
Continuity mistake: Data jumps off the ship twice near the end. He starts his jump in one scene and jumps again in the following angle.
Continuity mistake: While the Fratelli's carry the corpse bag, the hood on Mike's yellow raincoat changes positions between shots.
Continuity mistake: After removing the 'copper bone' necklace from Chester Copperpot, when Mikey puts the necklace around his neck, the cord's knot moves farther up between shots.
Continuity mistake: On Inferno's deck, when Data stubbornly takes a stand against the Fratellis, Mikey's and the others' facial expressions and positions repeatedly change between close-ups and wideshots.
Continuity mistake: When Troy sends the bucket down the well, in shots facing Andy and the rest, she stands behind the bucket, but in the shots facing Mikey as he tries to convince them all to continue on, Andy's left foot is atop the bucket, and so on.
Continuity mistake: On Inferno's deck, when Sloth jumps rope with Francis and Jake, in the close-up of his feet he wears all black high-tops with black laces, but in the previous and following shots he wears black high-tops with white soles and laces.
Continuity mistake: When Brand takes Data's sister's bike, there is a horn affixed to the handlebar which disappears when Troy pulls up beside Brand in his car and then reappears when Troy starts speeding holding Brand's arm.
Continuity mistake: When the Fratellis are trying to get information from Chunk, the amount of juice in the blender changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Data is being dragged by the sticky dart in the opening sequence, the camera angle changes from in front to behind, and suddenly the distance between Data and the oil drum dramatically increases even though he is moving towards it.
Continuity mistake: When Sloth is trying to reach for the Baby Ruth, the candy bar's position and the way it faces changes between shots.
Chosen answer: Well, his ship is hidden in America where the people spoke english, so perhaps it was done for the benefit of those who were most likely to find the map. Must have been his idea of a joke.Actually though, I'm betting it was the result of the filmmakers not thinking that through.
