Tail Sting (2001)

Continuity mistake: Before the scorpion attacks Milhouse another one attacks the snobbish woman. The close shots show the scorpion's legs and the back of the seat moving wildly, but the wide shot in between shows it's all calm.

Tail Sting (2001)

Continuity mistake: When the scorpion chases the old man, his position keeps changing drastically between shots. If an angle shows him in one place, the next angle places him five meters behind.

Other mistake: The door of the plane is open and lets in a huge amount of pressure, but suddenly, a close-up of a corner of it shows how it softly closes tightly, without anyone turning its lever, or pushing.

Revealing mistake: After the door's been open while on air, a huge wind starts inside the plane and the actors move as if they were being suctioned. However, the hanging oxygen masks stay motionless.

Tail Sting (2001)

Continuity mistake: Jennifer and the Captain exit the cellar up the ladder. When she has climbed it and is now on the upper floor, there's a shot of her back in the cellar and climbing up again.

Visible crew/equipment: When the black man saves the Captain and kills the scorpion, a close-up shot of the cellar door with the bug shows that there's no floor underneath, and also a stage light is seen.

Continuity mistake: Jennifer is up the ladder holding a defibrillator with her right hand, and the ladder with her left. From an angle above, both hands have the defibrillator.

Tail Sting (2001)

Deliberate mistake: When the captain jumps towards Scott, the distance between the two rows of seats is three times bigger than the other rows shown, obviously to allow for the fight, but still really weird when you look at it.

Tail Sting (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Jennifer is dressed with the special suit, a claw shows up close to her face. The amount of slime on it increases, decreases or even disappears randomly between shots.

Tail Sting (2001)

Audio problem: Jennifer and the Captain exit the plane and stay there for several minutes while sirens from airport services howl, obviously to help them after such a chaotic flight. However, wider shots show that there's not a single car or person nearby.

Tail Sting (2001)

Revealing mistake: At the end of the film, when the Captain says he's about to land, the exterior shot of the plane is the same image used at the beginning when the plane took off, only it's being played backwards, with the wheels coming out, and even worse, the tail of the plane is moving backwards.

Continuity mistake: By the end of the film, when the queen scorpion is wandering around, a shot of the floor shows that the plane is spotless, despite being filled with blood, paper, and debris a couple of scenes before.

Continuity mistake: After the door shuts, Courtney's hair style changes from brushed to the left to messy, between shots.
