Revealing mistake: In the scene in the cave where Brand pulls back the rock and the bats fly out, there is a close-up of Mouth with bats flying in front of his face. You can clearly see the wires attached to the bats.

The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: At the very end on the beach, Chunk is wearing a knit hat, but Mouth is not (he took his off earlier). Then in the shot looking up at the Goonies, who are circled around the hand holding the jewels, Mouth is now wearing a knit hat and Chunk's hat has vanished, but next shot they've switched back again. (01:46:30)

The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: At the start, when Data practices with the blue suction dart, in the close-up as the dart flies out we can see the mechanisms inside Data's invention. When it cuts to a tighter close-up, suddenly there is a spinning spool welded inside, which was not in the previous shot, that is retracting the orange string. (00:03:50)
16th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Revealing mistake: When Brand finds the skeleton key in the dirt, he holds it up as Mouth wipes the dirt off the three holes. It's actually quite funny seeing what is supposed to be Mouth's hands in the close-up, with its female manicured fingernails. (00:55:40)
18th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Data's 'bully blinders' are on, just as the bulbs dim, in the close-up Data's cartridge holder hangs over his right shoulder to his left hip instead of the opposite way, as seen in the previous and following shots. Interestingly, this is not due to a flipped shot. (00:48:20)
18th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Revealing mistake: At the Astoria Country Club, when Troy first sits down in the stall and opens the magazine, behind him are at least nine columns of small patterned tiles. In his next close-up as he looks around, the wall behind him is completely different. Now there are only six columns of larger unpatterned tiles, with a long vertical gap between the tiles (where the grout should be) - which is the track for the mechanism to lift Troy in the following shots. (00:51:00)
17th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: Before the 'bathroom' break, when Mikey holds up the map, the top of it is burned off and very few musical notes are actually there along its edge, but when they reach the skeleton's bone keys the top of the map is clean, with a musical score along the entire edge. (01:29:30)
27th Aug 2001
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: Chunk breaks the glass on the frame and then he and Mikey clear away much of the broken glass from it. When there is another view of the picture all the glass is still on it.
15th Aug 2007
Perfect Stranger (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Ro eats the tub of ice cream, the way it faces and the amount in the tub continues to differ.
27th Aug 2001
The Goonies (1985)
Other mistake: When Troy is in the country club restroom and is sitting on the toilet, he has his trousers down around his ankles. When he gets shot up and crashes into the ceiling, you will notice he has red briefs on, but surely he would have pulled them down too... (00:51:20)
12th Apr 2009
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Perkins delivers the papers to Brand at the house, the men are holding umbrellas. The umbrella handle on the left is facing outward, but after it cuts to Brand then back to the men, it is facing inward and then changes again after another angle change.
12th Apr 2009
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Mikey, Data, Mouth and Chunk enter the restaurant, when Mama Fratelli asks, "What do ya want?" Jake Fratelli is behind them with his hand on their shoulders. When the angle changes Jake Fratelli is at the back of the restaurant walking away. (00:30:20)
27th Aug 2001
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: On the beach, when Mr. Walsh is tearing up the contract we see the bits of torn paper, but when he tosses them in the air there are many more pieces of torn paper up there.
12th Apr 2009
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Brand takes Data's sister's bike, there is a horn affixed to the handlebar which disappears when Troy pulls up beside Brand in his car and then reappears when Troy starts speeding holding Brand's arm.
18th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: When Data starts the printing press, two closeups show the two $100 bill face templates on the machine as it prints the counterfeits, however, what is being printed on the papers are the images of $50 bills. (00:42:10)
7th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: On the deck of the Inferno, when Mama is pulling the pearls from Mouth's mouth, Francis is tying up Andy's hands with black rope. When Mama asks, "Is that all?" the color of the rope is off-white, but it then changes back to the black rope in the following shots. (01:32:30)
27th Aug 2001
The Goonies (1985)
Audio problem: When Chunk flags down the car for help, he finds Jake Fratelli, who begins to sing loudly in Italian. Chunk screams, and as we hear Jake continue singing, we see his reflection in the side-view mirror as he is smoking a cigarette silently. (00:49:00)
16th Dec 2008
The Goonies (1985)
Continuity mistake: After Chunk does the 'Truffle Shuffle' and Mikey releases the bowling ball, we see the horizontal piece of wood that is painted red and attached to the porch rail, from which the silver bucket is lowered. It's seen in many shots. What's funny is that in the first shot of the Walsh's house, after the Fratellis drive past at the bottom of the hill, that piece of wood is white, because it hasn't been painted red yet by the crew. (00:05:10)
27th Oct 2005
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Pedro is sitting at the table in the cafeteria, Napoleon comes to sit down, and Pedros's arm changes position from shot to shot. (00:34:10 - 00:34:40)
7th Jan 2009
Step Brothers (2008)
Continuity mistake: After arriving to the new house, Brennan is seen in the car as Nancy and Robert talk to the neighbor (Don). Brennan's arm is seen up holding the handle on the interior of the car near the window then down between each shot. (00:06:05)
