Hey Arnold! The Movie mistake picture

Other mistake: In the FTI records room, when Arnold and Gerald open safe deposit box 999, the box is quite empty with a mirrored surface, and we can see the reflection of Scheck appearing behind them. The problem is Scheck's reflection is not backwards. (00:50:50)

Continuity mistake: Inside the FTI records room, Scheck tells Arnold and Gerald, "My guards will now lock you away where you won't cause any more trouble." As the FTI guards approach the boys, Gerald notices the two crisscrossed cutlasses hanging on the wall, with scabbards of different colors, but when Gerald reaches for those two weapons, the two cutlasses are facing the opposite way. Additionally, the lighter scabbard tip changes color, and the hooks they hang on also change, from transparent to silver. (00:51:50)

Continuity mistake: Scheck calls Nick and informs him the kids have a copy of the document on videotape, and they're headed uptown. During the following scenes, both Nick and Big Bob have medical adhesive tape on their cheeks (due to their earlier fight). While they're outside in the neighborhood, in some shots Nick's cheek has two crisscrossed strips of tape, but in other shots only a single strip of tape; the changes go back and forth. (01:03:20)

Continuity mistake: When Murray is told it's Mona's neighborhood that's to be demolished, he begins to speed. Murray then tells the kids to pray for the hunk of junk bus to hold together long enough to get them uptown in one piece. In the next shot, the rear right tire's hubcap flies off, but in the following shots, that hubcap is back on the rear right tire. (01:00:35)

Continuity mistake: After Scheck catches the duo in the FTI records room with safe deposit boxes, Scheck removes a painting from the wall while he rages on about the tomato incident; then he destroys the painting. However, when Arnold fights off the guard with the mustache, that painting is intact and back up on the wall in this shot. (00:51:30 - 00:51:55)

Other mistake: While Arnold and Gerald are headed to FTI on the city bus, Murray tells them about Mona. When Murray says, "You meet a girl, you think it's forever," the animation is a bit skewed, as it shows the steering column going through Murray's right thigh. (00:46:25)

Continuity mistake: When Arnold and Gerald go to see Mr. Bailey at the Office of Information, Bailey's tie has diagonal stripes that change direction to the opposite way in some shots. (00:26:15)

Continuity mistake: At the start, while the neighbourhood crowd watches Scheck make his statement at the televised press conference, when Eugene begins to sing, mailman Harvey's buttons have switched from his right side to left side on his uniform shirt. Harvey's moustache has vanished in the interim as well (his white undershirt also disappears and reappears). (00:03:25 - 00:04:40)

Continuity mistake: Bridget gives the "synchronized, programmable, glow-in-the-dark watches" to Arnold and Gerald. When the two boys steal the safe's key from Nick, they wear their watches on their left wrists. Then, Arnold and Gerald get on the city bus, and thereafter for the rest of the movie, both of their watches randomly vanish and reappear during numerous successive shots, as well as mid-shot. (00:45:40)
