Continuity mistake: Enter the Cheatrix: When Professor Frink climbs down the ladder to talk with Bart and Lisa after he is saved by them, they stand next to a large machine that Frink uses to bring a Rift Portal to them. At the start of the cutscene, the arrow on the right-hand side of the machine is pointed to the left. When the Rift Portal appears, the arrow is pointed to the middle.

Other mistake: Lisa the Tree Hugger: When the factory explodes, Lisa is standing outside the entrance looking at a damaged sign break off the wall. Everything that Bart and Lisa did to destroy the factory occurred within the confines of the company, so there is no reason that the sign should be tattered or broken off.

Continuity mistake: When Nick sits back in the passenger seat after Brian turns away from the time rift, he is holding onto his left arm after banging it. When he sits down, his left hand is placed over his right arm. When the shot cuts, his left hand is suddenly raised upward slightly. (02:34:58)

The Langoliers (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Brian is about to fly back through the time rift, there is a mixture of blue and orange lighting coming from the rift that is cast on him and the wall behind him. When Nick rushes into the cockpit to tell him to turn back, in the close-up of Brian, the wall behind has blue light on it. When the shot cuts to have Nick and Brian in the frame, the wall now has orange light on it. (02:33:43)

The Langoliers (1995)
Deliberate mistake: The version of Earth that our main characters spend the story trapped in, is one individual second in the past that is identical to Earth in every way, with the only exceptions being there is no life or power. The Langoliers consume all the land in this one second and the remnants fall into a huge abyss. However, if this were like Earth, there should be thousands upon thousands of miles of soil beneath the land, but this is ignored for the sake of the plot.
Suggested correction: It is assumed that the Langoliers ate everything below that point to the Earth's core too.

Revealing mistake: When the Langoliers make a hole in the ground to stop the passengers from leaving, Brian turns the plane around so that the plane can take off from a different part of the runway. In the shot of the plane turning around, tyre marks can be seen on the ground, presumably from previous takes. (02:15:32)
Suggested correction: This was filmed in and around Bangor International Airport. Of course, there will be tyre marks.

Continuity mistake: When preparing to fuel up the plane, Bethany bends down and opens the fuel tank. Once she stands back up, her back is hunched forward slightly, her right arm is in a reaching position and her leg is bent.
