Continuity mistake: After the birthday party, when Clown and Spawn are in the alley, Al gets up and walks away and Clown follows. You can see two extras in the background walking away from them. When it cuts to the next shot (an extreme wide shot), suddenly the extras are much, much further back than they just were. (You can use the dilapidated car in the background for reference... in the first shot they are in front of it, but in the next, they're behind it).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Deliberate mistake: When Violator turns back into Clown in the alley, watch closely. You can see his shadow beneath him for a few seconds as he's transforming, and it doesn't match the transformation of the giant monster into the Clown... it's just Clown's regular shadow from the actor standing on-set. More than likely, it's a shortcut for the effects - they didn't bother rendering a simulated shadow. You have to look kinda close to notice it the first time, but once you see it, it's obvious.

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator for the first time, there are some shots of him walking down the alley looking for Violator while holding his gun. In-between shots, Spawn goes from holding his gun with one hand, to both hands, back to one hand, etc. repeatedly.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator the first time, there's a moment where a homeless man finds Spawn's gun, and Spawn grabs it and spins around to point it at Violator... only to realise Violator has vanished. In the first shot of Spawn grabbing his gun, he's right next to the homeless man, and the homeless man begins to turn his head in Violator's direction. It then cuts to a wider shot, and suddenly Spawn is a bit further away from the homeless man and the man is no longer turning his head.
