Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: On the moon, Nuclear Man grabs a rock and dirt covers him totally, especially his armpit becomes black. A frame later, he's spotless.

Other mistake: When Lois and Superman fly together, the part where they fly over some horses is the very same shot as when they fly over the Golden Gate for the second time.

Other mistake: When Superman breaks his ice cage and makes it explode, a long black rubber band flies away. Where the heck did that come from?

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: When the volcano's lava floods the village, there's a wide shot of the mountains and the volcano and you can see that the lava is still running down the volcano, not near the village.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Revealing mistake: When the volcano erupts and lava floods the village. The red truck on the left is a very obvious scale model prop: The engine is missing and the hood is attached to the grilles.

Revealing mistake: When Nuclear Man melts the rifle, note that the SWAT member is holding the barrel and he slides his hand away slowly to make the barrel bend downwards. He was obviously holding it up. If he had burned himself he would've moved faster.

Revealing mistake: When the fire truck explodes, note a tube behind it going straight to the truck. Probably an FX device to effect the smoke.

Continuity mistake: When the firemen are about to grab the hose and it explodes, note that the other hose inside the truck on the right side has changed positions between shots.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: Nuclear Man walks towards the newspaper where Lucy's picture is, for a brief moment there's a light smoke coming from behind him as if something was burning (it has nothing to do with the smoke Nuclear produces when flying) which is later gone (according to SupermanIV.com a deleted scene involved Nuclear Man waking up, "he sees and picks up the newspaper with Lacy, which then catches on fire in his hand.").
23rd Jun 2013
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: Before Nuclear Man see Lacy's picture in the newspaper, he rises from the floor and a wide angle reveals that the table is nowhere around, yet a couple shots later it simply appears half a meter away from him.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Revealing mistake: When dying and balding Clark grabs the green glass, the border of his wig noticeably protrudes all around his face.
23rd Jun 2013
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Lois visits sick Clark she stands by the door, fully lit, a frame later, when the angle changes, the whole place is in the shadows.
23rd Jun 2013
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Revealing mistake: When Superman discovers that Nuclear Man is stealing the Statue of Liberty, he turns around and you can see the wrinkles on his temple from the wig he was using.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Superman first meets Mr Warfield, the orange pencil on the table changes positions between shots.
23rd Jun 2013
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Superman stops the train there are two thick black tubes next to the tunnel behind which disappear when he leaves.

Audio problem: When Lex enters the military bunker, officer Goram's voice is obviously dubbed and sometimes the audio doesn't match his lips.

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: The white box that Lex attaches to the missile, containing Nuclear Man's 'ingredients', appears and disappears between shots.
11th Jun 2013
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Nuclear Man is born, both hands are clenched. He opens and extends the right one first, then the left. A frame later the right hand is slightly clenched again.
11th Jun 2013
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Revealing mistake: Right after Lex, disguised as a soldier, orders the launching of the missile, there's a shot of the truck carrying it. The driver is a cheap mannequin that looks very much like a scarecrow.
