Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
Continuity mistake: The crew wrote 'HMS Bounty' in large red letters on the side of the Klingon Bird of Prey, but in all subsequent flying shots, the large red writing is never seen again. It's not burned off as you only get heat entering the atmosphere if the speed is sufficient, and it's not wind resistance either, because the lettering is missing just after they take off.

Continuity mistake: When the Iron Giant and Hogarth meet for the second time, they both sit down, and you can see that both the Giant's hands are flat on the floor. Then, the Giant produces the electricity shut off switch from one of his hands even though both his hands were previously empty.
Suggested correction: When the Giant crouches down to Hogarth, his right hand is in a fist, and it stays that way as he is sitting down. The switch was absolutely in his hand the whole time.

Continuity mistake: At the start of the movie, two wooden balls are created to name the next victim and killer. After the balls are created, they are dull and unpolished, but their travel through the tubes shows them to now be highly polished and shiny. (00:01:55)
Suggested correction: After being created they are encased before going down the tube and unseen. They could have easily been polished during this time before then rolling down the tube.
