Continuity mistake: The goons with guns arrive at the castle, "There goes the neighbourhood", quips one of the heroes. In one shot Raphael sidesteps towards Michelangelo to reach his arm, in the reverse it's Mike and Don who are restraining Raph from charging. Same mistake happens a few seconds later, when Walker delivers his "Who's your tailor" line and Don is restraining Raph, or not. (01:17:35)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Revealing mistake: The rebels broke into the court of Lord Norinaga's palace. Donatello knocks down two guards with a leapfroggin' double flying kick. Which sounds way cooler than it looks, because it is obviously miles away from actually connecting. (01:15:15)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: In the fight alongside Mitsu, Donatello beats up some soldiers by the table with the scrolls ("Bases loaded, home run"). The scroll is placed in a different, more orderly way than before (when it was on top of another parchment). It wouldn't tidy itself up during the fight. (01:13:40)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: After learning about their supposed ancestors, the Turtles begin fighting Norinaga's guards. Michelangelo is the first one in their way and is at a standoff with one of them who has his sword raised, and still the following shot shows exactly Mike facing some enemies that run at him. (01:13:10)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Revealing mistake: The grate on the prison floor (left open and unguarded after they escaped from there the first time) is made of thick metal...or so it looks, because when Michelangelo climbs up, it wobbles by the lightest tap of his elbow. (01:09:55)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Plot hole: The plot takes a turn for the nonsensical when the Turtles find the Scepter and Mitzu walks off. With no explanation (she is the best fighter of the resistance) Whit captures her. There's no explanation on how he did it with such ease, how did he happen to be at the right place at the right time since nothing of what happened was under his control, and even where this 'right place' was, because he is riding towards the village (and the Turtles themselves) with her - just how far did Mitsu wander during Grandpa's very short apology to be captured by someone who gallops to the village to show her off as bargain chip? (01:05:45)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Revealing mistake: Walker celebrates the news that he's gonna get the agreed price on his shipment from Lord Norinaga. He fires his cannon, which not only must be firing a cluster projectile since it disintegrates in a single shot 3 targets, but also it makes them implode. (00:58:20)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Raphael points out that Yoshi is no 'senior citizen'. He adds "Come ooooonnn..." and in the passage from one angle to another Raph's bandana moved from the front to the back of his shoulder. (00:56:50)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Factual error: Raphael tells Yoshi that being a kid, he shouldn't think about war but rather fly "one of those things." He is pointing at kites who have artwork (kabuki-ish makeup with the modern japanese flag) that looks out of place for 1603. (00:56:40)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Leonardo picks Yoshi up from the ground after reviving him; his bandana goes down his left shoulder, but in close-up goes down both sides of his neck. (00:48:30)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Audio problem: Michelangelo runs inside the burning hut yelling "Here I go!" with his mouth closed. (00:46:10)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: In Niles' POV, during their first confrontation in the middle of the village raid Walker on his horse is in the shade, facing Michelangelo in sunlight. It's the opposite in their respective close-ups. (00:44:15)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Revealing mistake: In a complete non-sequitur, the Turtles declare that they are friends, taking off their masks. Mitsu picks Raphael's helmet up herself; not only her hands chance place on the helmet at the cut, but the helmet is soft rubber under her fingers. (00:40:25)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Revealing mistake: When Raphael tosses the sai breaking Mitsu's arrow in two as she is aiming at April and Whit, before it cuts to the close-up the actress is smiling as she turns around, obviously pleased because the take of the throw worked. (00:39:45)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Whit and April are fighting by the spring, and just before it cuts to Mitsu preparing an arrow, Elias Koteas is pounced by a guy wearing colorful rags in black, orange and yellow patchwork, a blue and white pattern bandana and black and white striped legwarmers. Behind Mitsu, meanwhile...a guy with the same horrid fashion taste is charging. What are the odds. (00:39:35)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: April screams and squirms to free herself from the arrow that pins her sleeve to the tree. Her hand is in a different position in each shot. (00:38:30)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: The Turtles are fighting the rebels by the springs. The first time we see Leonardo fight some of them off, his first action is hitting (with the side of the sword, we assume, or he'd slice it) the head of a guy, but the 'hit' is really a miss, since no contact is even remotely made. (00:38:20)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Audio problem: Raph quotes Terminator just before he jumps in the waste disposal chute, but the animatronic's lips don't move. (00:34:00)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Other mistake: Apparently, Whit is the only prisoner in Lord Norinaga's dungeon who wants to be set free; everyone else does not react to the fight, ask to be released or struggle in any way. (00:33:00)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Audio problem: April is lowering the cage where a random doppelganger of Elias Koteas appeared in Feudal Japan. She says "I know I am gonna regret this", but her lips are not moving. A moment later she shouts "Well, come on!" and again there's no articulation of sounds from her mouth. (00:33:00)
