Corrected entry: In the scene where Yzma is smashing the statues of Kuzco, Yzma tells Kronk to move one of the statues "a little to the left", however it was moved to both of their rights.

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)
Continuity mistake: When Kronk offers Kuzco the poison, he runs out of the room because his spinach puffs are burning. He takes the poison with him. When he returns he is carrying only the spinach puffs and the cups appear back on the table.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Pacha and Kuzco are hiding in a little room in the restaurant, the door next to them is closed. In the next shot, it's open.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Continuity mistake: When Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion are marching into the Wicked Witch's castle after taking the guards' uniforms, all three of them are shown holding the same types of spears as the guards, so when they go rescue Dorothy out of the locked room and Tin Man chops through the door with his axe, where did the axe come from? (01:22:50)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I'm 63 years old and still watch The Wizard of Oz. If I remember correctly, the axe was taken off a nearby wall.
There is no scene of him taking the axe off the wall, nor is there any axe seen on any of the walls. Plus, it's the same axe he had the whole time. But the 3 also take off their coats/disguises while the camera is on Dorothy and it's possible he had the axe tucked away in the coat.
In the books, the Tin Man always has his axe and he uses it often. Perhaps it is the same in the movie.
Suggested correction: I'm with Bishop73 on this one. The Tin Man has his axe with him when they put on the guards' uniforms, and when they get to the room that Dorothy is in, he uses his axe to break the doors, so it's plausible to believe that he tucked the axe in his uniform, then took it out to rescue Dorothy.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Revealing mistake: When Diane and Patti chat next to the spider, Patti stretches out her arm to move the (blue-screened) spider web away, but she is missing the spot by two metres.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: No, Patti is not meant to be moving the spider web away in that shot; she is simply reaching for the web so she can cut it with the nail file and free the daddy longlegs. Then, the shot changes before we see her touch it. After two shots of Patti off-screen, we then see her cutting the web. Plus, that screenshot does not convey the "problem."

Flubber (1997)
Corrected entry: In the scene in which Prof Brainard and Sarah are fighting the bad guys at the mansion, Sarah has Flubber on her hands. She is slapping Wilson around, and you can clearly see that the person who is slapping Wilson is a dummy.
Correction: Sarah punches Wilson multiple times with the flubber on her hands at 01:23:13, but Sarah in this shot does not resemble a dummy or anything similar. Nor is she a dummy in the other shots where she punches Wilson.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the person who submitted the mistake was confused because the scene is lit a little weird and sped up, and she's holding pretty still. But it's painfully obvious that the actress is not a dummy.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Arnold Saves Sid / Hookey - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: The kids' teacher in this episode is Miss Slovak, who was their teacher in the first season, but in the first episode of this season they have a new teacher, Mr. Simmons.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Other than the few episodes that take place during a specific time of year; these episodes are not meant to be taken in chronological order. Just roughly in the same 4th grade school year.
Suggested correction: I agree with the other correction, but it's also worth noting that in the production order, "Arnold Saves Sid" was made before "New Teacher." They were just aired out of order, just like many of the other episodes.

Flubber (1997)
Corrected entry: In the end, the guy throws the glass thing, it flies, it bounces, and it falls to the ground. But we never hear it.
Correction: Bennett throws the glass ashtray at Philip, which then bounces back at him and hits his head. Bennett falls over, and there is an audible clinking sound of the ashtray hitting the floor right after he falls.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
Corrected entry: At the beginning the Grinch is looking down on Whoville and drumming all his fingers. But when it cuts to another angle, he's suddenly only tapping one of them.
Correction: It doesn't take a minute to go from drumming all fingers to just tapping one of them. They wouldn't need to change scenes for that.
The Grinch is tapping all of his fingers as he looks down at Whoville; then, immediately in the next shot, he's just tapping his index finger. It might not take long for someone to go from tapping all their fingers to just one of them, but we don't see the Grinch adjusting his fingers at all between shots; he just goes from tapping all his fingers to just one finger instantly. I'd say this is a valid mistake.

Honey I Blew Up the Kid (1992)

My entry talks about the direction the guitar is facing between shots. Your entry does not mention this; it talks about the distance the guitar is from the loudspeaker between shots. That's not the same thing.

Suggested correction: "Impostor" and "imposter" are both correct spellings of the word. Innersloth used "impostor" for the game. Absolutely nothing wrong with this.

Hey Arnold! (1996)
Girl Trouble / School Dance - S3-E18
Stupidity: Girl Trouble: In class, Helga pranks Arnold by putting glue on his chair. Arnold sits in the chair and gets glue on him. Why would anyone not look at the seat before sitting? (00:03:14)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Plenty of people don't look before sitting down. I once had someone put a pin on my seat in school and I didn't see it.
I can understand one not catching a small pin on their seat (or clear coloured glue). In fact, that is a pretty common prank. The thing is, Helga put a whole bunch of white glue on Arnold's chair, something so blatantly visible, unlike the other stuff I mentioned. It's just strange to me that Arnold wouldn't see something like that before sitting down in his chair. This also goes for my other entry that you added the same correction for.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966)
Revealing mistake: When the Grinch hits the Christmas decoration with the cue stick, the ball rolls over the Christmas tree, not under.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The Grinch picks up the cane, then hits the Christmas ornament with it. The ornament goes past the Christmas tree (in front of it), then knocks the other ornaments off the tree. What is the mistake? The ornament is not supposed to go behind or "under" the tree.
The green branches (i.e. the tree) that the ornament passes over are several inches off the ground, and therefore it shouldn't have rolled over them since it's supposed to be on the ground. In the next shot, we see the ornament rolling on the ground, where it is rolling under the branches before hitting the base and jumping up the tree.
You are correct. I first thought the mistake was talking about a layering issue, where the ornament was supposed to be layered behind the tree, or something. I'm not sure how I misunderstood that, but nonetheless, you're right.

Bubblestand / Ripped Pants - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Spongebob, controlled by Plankton, wasn't aiming directly at Squidward's house, but he eventually breaks through the wall.

Suggested correction: He might not have been aiming directly at Squidward's house at that moment, but after that shot, there is a 5-second shot of Squidward in his bed before SpongeBob crashes through his wall. Within those 5 seconds off-screen, there was time for Plankton (who is controlling SpongeBob) to turn SpongeBob towards the direction of Squidward's house.

Revealing mistake: In the Milk River scene, you can see the cherry on the sound stage they are recording on.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: This has to be more specific. Saying, "you can see the cherry on the sound stage they are recording on" is too vague, because there are multiple cherries that the three of them pass while going down the river (and more scattered around the Land of Milk and Cookies). None of them looked off to me, and I couldn't find anything that resembled a sound stage either. If possible, someone please explain.

Recess (1997)
Audio problem: When Tubby is about to win the race, Mikey shouts "Run Tubby run" in Spinelli's voice.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Not really. It definitely sounds like Spinelli due to how he screams the line, but it's not Spinelli's voice. Something similar happens a moment earlier in the episode, when Mikey screams, "Win, win, win!" His voice gets a bit raspy, similar to Spinelli's raspy voice, but those aren't the same voices. Also, I don't know why they would have Pamela Adlon (Spinelli's voice actor) record that one line for Mikey anyway.
