Continuity mistake: At the beginning when Baby Herman tries grabbing onto a clock's swinging pendulum, he stands on a box of Acme deadly mouse poison. But when the box falls over onto the countertop, its label vanishes. (00:02:40)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Continuity mistake: After Raphael has a fit and walks out of April's apartment, he goes up on the roof to vent his anger for a while. Pretty soon, Casey spots him from another rooftop several buildings away while tuning a radio. As Casey looks out at Raphael's faint image in the distance, pay close attention to the background as well as the white building Raphael is standing on (you can notice the Empire State Building among other landmarks). When Casey grabs some binoculars to take a better look, Raphael can be seen resting on a brick ledge. In the following shot Raphael looks out at the city towards Casey's vantage point, but from Raphael's position, the Empire State Building - as well as the white building where he was venting just moments before - are visible on the skyline. Somehow Raphael has managed to relocate to another building's rooftop between shots. (00:38:15)

Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: When Tuneman realizes that he's about to crash into some barrels of water near the exit, he ducks for cover but, in the next shot, we see him sitting upright again. (00:40:00)

Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: After telling Tuneman that he needs to board the moving bus, Jack pushes the Jaguar several car lengths forward so that he'll have ample distance to smash the door off. Meanwhile, we can see dotted white lines on the pavement between the Jaguar and the bus. But look over Jack's shoulder as he says "Are you insured?" and notice how two pairs of solid yellow lines have momentarily taken place of the white ones. (00:39:05)

The Care Bears Movie (1985)
Continuity mistake: Lotsa Heart Elephant is briefly drawn without her pink tail in a shot right before the cloud clipper drifts over the waterfall's edge. (00:44:20)
31st Dec 2010
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Continuity mistake: During a fight sequence between the Foot Clan and three of the turtles in April's apartment, keep in mind that April is still tending to an injured Raphael in the living room. But as the floor collapses into an antiques store below, you'll be able to spot her on the lower left side of the screen shielding her eyes from debris - instantly in the store before anyone else (except for Master Tatsu and several other Foot members, who were waiting there to begin with). (00:44:15)

The Lion King (1994)
Continuity mistake: After the elephant graveyard hyena incident, there's a very wide shot of Simba and Nala trailing behind Mufasa and Zazu in the open field. Nala looks over at Simba, but in the next frame she's staring at the ground instead. (00:22:40)
31st Dec 2010
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Continuity mistake: The driver's side windshield wiper on the Toon Patrol car moves itself to a different position as Eddie and Roger try and make a getaway near the bar. When Eddie looks for a key, only some of the wiper actually makes contact with the windshield, but one shot later the wiper has moved significantly further towards the center. (00:57:25)

Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: After the first bus explodes, Jack ducks for cover near his Bronco. Soon he looks over at the burning wreck and stands up - but notice that he's still crouched down in very next shot. (00:27:50)
31st Dec 2010
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Continuity mistake: After decking Raphael for the Jose Canseco remark, Casey's baseball bat instantly changes hands between shots. (00:12:35)
31st Dec 2010
Flight of the Navigator (1986)
Continuity mistake: In 1986 when David is reunited with his parents at the front doorstep of their new home, Bill places his left hand near Bruiser at one point. But in the following shot where David faints on Helen's lap we can see Bill's right hand near Bruiser instead. (00:15:45)
31st Dec 2010
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Continuity mistake: Michelangelo and Donatello are standing side by each after Shredder introduces himself on the rooftop. But one shot later when Raphael steps in to take on Shredder, Donatello is now behind Michelangelo instead. (01:18:35)
31st Dec 2010
The Chipmunk Adventure (1987)
Continuity mistake: When the Chipmunks are at the outdoor fiesta in Mexico, a heavyset woman jumps into Simon's arms from the horse-drawn rickshaw. But in the following shot, the woman is holding Simon in her arms instead. (00:22:10)
31st Dec 2010
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Continuity mistake: After leaving Judge Doom to be flattened by the steamroller, Eddie runs over to the dip machine and turns off the ignition. If you watch as Roger and Jessica are about to be blasted with dip, the stream of dip goes from being on their left side, to right, then back to left again between shots. (01:28:35)
31st Dec 2010
Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: When Annie tries flagging down the bus, it changes position on the road. You can see how its right set of wheels instantly shifts from one side of the solid white line to the next between frames - at the point where it begins to decelerate. (00:31:05)
29th Dec 2010
Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: In the shot where Payne gives Jack permission to unload Sam from the bus, listen closely to the male news anchor on the immediate right. He reassures his viewing audience that the bus hasn't exploded, although a woman was caught in the blast and fell. This report airs roughly two minutes before the incident even takes place. (00:57:05 - 00:59:15)
29th Dec 2010
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Continuity mistake: A few seconds after Eddie makes the big turn in Toon Town's tunnel, his right thumb noticeably changes its position on the steering wheel between shots. (01:09:50)
29th Dec 2010
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Danny is admiring April's turtle sketches, he asks if he can keep one of them. His right hand holds onto a sketch of Leo at first, but in the following shot his right hand isn't gripping the sketch at all. Instead, he's seen reaching out to pick it up from the couch. (01:04:35)
29th Dec 2010
Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Pieter throws a knife at Riggs from offscreen, it sticks into his leg. Note that most of the blade is still visible. All things considered, the knife could have been able to penetrate maybe two, three inches into the skin (at best). But look closely in the following shot as well as subsequent shots where Pieter starts kicking Riggs in the face and you'll notice how the knife has managed to drive itself completely through and out the opposite side. Arguably the knife could be long enough and, with immense effort, this might be possible, but Pieter throwing a knife all the way through Riggs' thigh just seems absurd. (01:46:45)
29th Dec 2010
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)
Continuity mistake: At some point during the opening cartoon short, Roger drinks a bottle of Acme chili sauce and flies directly into a wall-mounted ironing board. The ironing board has a handle on its left side - which vanishes between shots. (00:03:10)
