Continuity mistake: The Zeon mobile suits land on the exterior of the colony and two of them operate the locks that allow them to enter. In close-ups, they both cast a shadow behind their back (so, in opposite directions, since they are to the right and to the left of the hatch), but in the establishing shot they both cast a shadow in the same direction. Also, the floor itself does not have the same markings between shots. (00:03:20)
Continuity mistake: Amuro stopped the car in front of the location where the two Federation officers die in the explosion, at a certain distance. When he is shown reading the manual with everyone running away from the shelter, the damaged car got closer and it is almost inside the hangar. (00:11:00 - 00:13:00)
Continuity mistake: Seeing the rocket fired by the Zeon, Amuro gets on the ground. In his reaction shot to the horror of the hangar with two men entirely scorched by the explosion, he has debris on his arms, that were clean in the shot before. (00:11:30)
Continuity mistake: The cover of the Gundam instruction manual on the ground changes from just blank white with a little horizontal line, to the logo with two of those lines and without the superscribed dot, to the full logo. It also rests on a ground differently littered with debris from the explosion. (00:11:50)
Continuity mistake: When Fraw Bow gets up and away from Amuro's arms to run to check on her mother, the Gundam manual disappears momentarily from the scene. (00:15:15)
Continuity mistake: Fraw Bow cries on her mother's corpse that is on the ground face down. Amuro walks to her to console her (and to bitch slap her) and the woman is lying face up all of a sudden. (00:15:25)
Continuity mistake: Amuro climbs on the Gundam that is lying down and gets where the tarp covering the cockpit is. The manual is face down in the first shot, but is face up and rotated differently in the next shot, when he unveils it. (00:16:30)
