Continuity mistake: When Clown farts in the alley and pulls out his underwear, his hand goes from his side to behind him instantly between cuts. (He starts to reach back in the first shot, but his hand is still at his side, and instantly in the next shot it's all the way behind him).

Mad God (2021)
Trivia: This feature-length stop-motion project has been in some form of production for thirty years. Phil Tippet started work on it after making "RoboCop 2," but nearly abandoned it after CGI became popular, fearful that people wouldn't accept it. He was encouraged to continue, and slowly pieced it together before finally premiering it in 2021.

Spawn (1997)
Trivia: John Leguizamo admitted to accidentally urinating in the Clown suit one day, because it took too long to take off, and he couldn't hold it any longer.

Spawn (1997)
Trivia: Michael Jai White really enjoyed being set on fire for the stunt where his character Al is initially killed, albeit for a silly reason. As a precaution behind the scenes to prevent burns, his body was covered in a gel that had been cooled in ice for four days straight. He was absolutely freezing, since his body was literally ice-cold. Once he was lit, the heat warmed the gel a little, making him slightly more comfortable. White quipped that he was willing to do more takes to literally warm up.

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)
Trivia: Production had to begin before the animatronic suits were finished, and they were never properly completed due to the rushed schedule. This is a big part of why the Garbage Pail Kids look so lousy and unnatural... they are missing a lot of the movement and articulation they were meant to have, which would have made them more lifelike.

The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)
Trivia: Despite Tangerine looking significantly older than Dodger, the actors Katie Barberi and Mackenzie Astin were actually only 1 year apart in age... she was 15, and he was 14. In fact, they had even briefly dated around the time the movie was shot.

Spawn (1997)
Trivia: Michael Jai White stated in an interview that he hates how the film turned out. Allegedly, after a very positive test-screening of the rough cut, the studio happily gave the director complete creative control over the film. The director then decided to make the movie a visual showcase, and edited out much of the character development to add in more action and effects. White was shocked at the premiere because the finished film was nothing like the initial, much better first cut he had seen.

Spawn (1997)
Revealing mistake: When Al picks up the locket from the coffin, it emits a sort-of ethereal, magical "glow." However, you can see where this glow simply "ends." There is a hard, square-shaped line around the glow where it simply stops. Poor blending of the effect. (This is best visible in the Blu-Ray, but is also visible in the DVD and VHS versions).

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Clown and Al arrive at the graveyard, after Clown says "This is where old folks go after Florida, son!," watch Al. He goes from being right near the ground to almost totally sat up instantly between shots.

Spawn (1997)
Visible crew/equipment: When Al's arm is lit on fire, you can see what looks to be some sort-of sparking device on his arm that started the flame. It's not the cigarette that Wynn just threw... it's too big to be that.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Al collapses in the alley and says "Feels like my skin is about to explode!", watch closely. In the first shot, he's about to flop down onto the right side of the stairway... but in the next shot, he collapses onto the left side.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: In the director's cut, when Clown squeezes the cream out of the donut in the alley and says "What does this remind you of?", suddenly the donut vanishes from his hand in the next shot. He didn't put it down... it just disappears between frames.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, when Clown pulls off his clown outfit in the alley, he starts to throw it to his right side. However, two shots later, it's visible on the ground behind his left.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, Clown puts down a drink and some snacks on a garbage can and rips off his clown outfit. When he puts the drink down, it falls over. However, just a few shots later, suddenly it's standing back up again. (He never picked it back up between the shots).

The Real Ghostbusters (1986)
Janine, You've Changed - S6-E1
Trivia: This episode was written by series story-editor J. Michael Straczynski as an inside joke and meta swipe against the network and consulting firm Q5 for forcing them to soften the character of Janine after the first batch of episodes. Their mandate infuriated all the writers, who preferred the original cynical, snappy Janine. Straczynski making Janine's changes the result of an evil entity reportedly infuriated the network and Q5, who realised that he was essentially calling THEM evil.

Halloween II (1981)
Revealing mistake: When Michael emerges on fire from the blown up room, if you look closely, you can see plain as day the moment when they light the stunt man on fire for the stunt. (Suddenly you see fire erupt in the shape of Michael's body.) And if you look VERY closely, shortly before this you can even briefly kind of see the stuntman playing Michael in the doorway waiting to be lit on fire. (The bottom half of his body is visible for a split-second a moment before they light him up).

Halloween II (1981)
Trivia: Co-star Lance Guest would later go on to star in "The Last Starfighter," a family-friendly sci-fi adventure film and cult-favorite. That film was directed by Nick Castle... who just-so-happened to play Michael Myers in the original "Halloween." Castle was a film-school friend of John Carpenter who got drafted into playing Michael before he began a career as a director himself. Funnily enough, the next film, "Halloween III", co-starred Dan O'Herlihy, who also appeared in "The Last Starfighter."

Halloween II (1981)
Trivia: The mask featured in the film is actually the exact same mask from the first movie. It looks different for two reasons... first, because the actor portraying Michael had a wider head, which stretched it out slightly, and second, because it had started to fade and also got a yellowish hue due to being stored in writer Debra Hill's home. Hill was a chain-smoker, and suspected that constant smoke in the air gave the mask a slight yellowish stain.

Halloween II (1981)
Trivia: The hot therapy tub where two characters have sex and one is killed was actually freezing behind the scenes and also got very dirty and unsterile just sitting around. Actress Pamela Shoop said that she and Leo Rossi were literally shivering, and that she ended up getting an ear infection due to having her head repeatedly dunked in the dirty, freezing water.
