Continuity mistake: When they're demonstrating the LAW rocket, Callahan's new female partner is standing behind the instructor. He pulls her away before the rocket fires. The angle cuts, and she's back closer to the instructor again. If she was standing where she was the second time, she would've been hit by the exhaust (which is why he pulls her away).

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Continuity mistake: When Violet is leaving for New York, right before she says "I'm glad I know you George", the scene cuts. This is the same camera angle as before so the scene appears to be an edit splice. The jump cut is obvious. The reason for the rough edit is that a short sequence was cut where Violet asks George to run away with her to New York. It doesn't excuse the jump, but does help explain it.

Batman and Robin (1997)
Audio problem: When the telescope is falling and the two people are with Batman, he tells them to grab onto his belt. The audio is terribly clipped.

The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Revealing mistake: As the ghost of Christmas present is finishing "It feels like Christmas", the camera starts to crane up. Look to the far right. The forced perspective effect starts to become noticeable with the background row of buildings. There are people that are slowly walking down that street and you can tell they don't get smaller as they should. Director Brian Henson said they were hoping people wouldn't notice the error.

Dumb and Dumber (1994)
Continuity mistake: During the snowball fight scene at the ski resort, it's either snowing or not depending on the angle. In one shot it's sunny. The first two shots showing just Harry feature snow. Cut to Mary and it's not snowing.

Family Guy (1999)
Road to the North Pole - S9-E7
Other mistake: Cleveland's house, across the street from the Griffins, is absent in the opening overhead shot. Then the scene changes to inside, and we can see his house through the window.

Prancer (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Sam Elliot is reading his newspaper, and Prancer can be seen in the background, it's snowing in one window but not the next. Then it's sunny, then snowing again.

Trivia: The same advertisement for Stay-Puft Marshmallows in the original movie is visible on the side of one of the buildings in the town. It's in roughly the same shape as the billboard in the 1984 film.
