Swiss Family Robinson (1940)
Continuity mistake: The number of pirates assaulting the hillside keeps changing. There are hundreds of them, then fewer than thirty, then hundreds again. In many scenes, in fact, there are far more pirates than could possibly fit aboard their one small ship. (01:55:30)

Time Trax (1993)
Continuity mistake: "A Stranger in Time, Part 2": Darien's arrival in 1993, shown in part 1, is recapped in part 2. But the director appears to have chosen different takes for the recap. Much of the dialogue differs substantially, and Selma's explanation that he's materialized in the ladies' room is left out altogether.

Time Trax (1993)
Continuity mistake: "Treasure of the Ages": In the beginning, one diver stabs the other, releasing a cloud of blood into the water. In the very next shot, however, not a trace of the blood remains. It couldn't possibly dissipate in that short a time. (00:02:30)

Time Trax (1993)
Continuity mistake: "Cool Hand Darien": When Luther breaks the chain on his shackles, he is still wearing the leg cuffs and the trailing pieces of chain on either side.
