Continuity mistake: Episode 3 begins with Dexter at the beach during a funeral. He is wearing a pair of stylish sunglasses. At the start of episode 4, Sgt Doakes is investigating a crime scene at the beach. He is wearing the same pair of sunglasses. Given the tense relationship between the two characters, it is unlikely they would share accessories.

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)
Continuity mistake: In the animated sequence, just before the kids destroy Sister Assumpta's office, Skeleton Boy's cast remnants switches from left arm to right arm and back to left arm. The left arm is the correct side as Tim (who is Skeleton Boy) had his cast on his left arm. (01:20:00)
Suggested correction: Your observation is correct, but this isn't necessarily a "continuity" error. The nature of comics or cartoons lends itself to imagination, creativity, humor, etc. Drawing comics is less tedious these days, thanks to computer programs and "cut and paste" techniques; the chances of a cast accidentally placed on the wrong arm are slim to none. Skeleton Man's "drawing" has many inconsistencies - number of ribs, teeth, finger bones, EYEBALLS or dark holes - with comics, it doesn't really matter.

The bridge should have been behind him as he reached that stretch of road leaving Woburn, not ahead of him. (00:09:10 - 00:11:30)
