Halloween II (1981)

Continuity mistake: When Michael is stalking the hospital corridors there is a scene when he hides in the baby unit and is observing the Head Nurse berate Nurse Karen for being late again. The scene switches back and forth between a close up of the two nurses talking to a shot from Michael's perspective of them from inside the baby unit. In the close up the Head Nurse's body is facing Karen, from Michael's perspective her body is facing towards him on the other side of the nurse station. (00:30:20)

Continuity mistake: At one point, when Leon is fighting with Mahogany on the train, there is a shot of blood dripping off a knife onto Leon's face. This blood later vanishes. (01:20:02 - 01:21:19)

Jack Vaughan

Continuity mistake: Throughout the film we see Mahogany attack people with his hammer and blood will spray everywhere however Mahogany stays mostly or even totally clean. A good example of this is when Leon follows him onto the train and there is a shot of Mahogany, seen through a train door, repeatedly striking a victim with his hammer and blood is spraying all over him. He's totally clean a couple of shots later however. (00:51:12)

Jack Vaughan

Continuity mistake: In the close-up shot of the gunpowder casket on fire it is located on a relatively dry spot of the raft and is in partial sunlight however when the shot changes, for Aguirre to pick it up and throw it off the raft, you can see the area is now slightly submerged and no longer sunlit at all. (00:55:46)

Jack Vaughan

Continuity mistake: After the scene when Aguirre and his men raid the cannibal village they get back on the raft. Aguirre approaches Ursua, lying injured next to his wife, and stares him down. Ursua's wife then stands up to Aguirre and grabs his arm. The shot then changes to a different angle and suddenly the horse appears behind Aguirre so that he can walk into it unexpectedly as he turns around. (00:53:30)
