Tail Sting (2001)
Continuity mistake: The Captain is down in the cellar and stumbles with something and loses his balance. Shot cuts in the middle of the fall, and he suddenly appears standing up about 2 meters to the left and 5 meters ahead. Quite a big jump for a loss of balance.

Tail Sting (2001)
Continuity mistake: The beginning of the movie is set in Australia, but the driver of the van is on the left side, instead of the right. However, when the van pulls over and he gets out, the shot is flipped to fix this, but the next angle of the back of the van isn't flipped and shows the left door open. The movie was shot in the U.S.

Tail Sting (2001)
Continuity mistake: When the Captain is about to be blown away, there's a seat belt next to him totally still and calm (revealing that there's no such wind), but in the close-up it's moving wildly.

25th Sep 2008
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.

Tail Sting (2001)
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.
25th Sep 2008
Tail Sting (2001)
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.

25th Sep 2008
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.
