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).

Spawn (1997)
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.
