Continuity mistake: Pappy's boat is 1/2 sunken in the harbor, sitting listed about 35 degrees to port (leaning about 35 degrees off center to the left side). Yet the interior shot shows the boat to be sitting about level, but about 5 degrees or so down at the bow (front).

Continuity mistake: At the end of the "Food Food Food" song, Popeye gives Wimpy the hamburger and starts a conversation. There are two ketchup bottles on Wimpy's left. At the beginning of the chat, both bottles are nearly empty with just about a 1/2 inch in each one. As the shots progress, the one nearest Wimpy goes from nearly empty to completely full and back again several times.

The Mummy (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Imhotep takes Benny as his servant, he holds out some gold items in a very skeletal hand (where he had the gold when he had no pockets is another matter). When O'Connell and friends are leaving Hamanoptera, Imhotep's hand comes out of the sand. You can see that it is either a prop hand, or a crewman's hand in a glove, as it is thicker than it was a few moments before.

Indy kicks the door open twice, and after the second time the top hinge of the door gives easily. The guy is half way dragging on the ground, holding onto the now askew door. Then in the next closeup, the door is hung correctly with the guy on it, and Indy kicks it again. The guy goes dragging again, and then he and the door fall off.
