Continuity mistake: When Kill Crazy and Baxter are about to beat up Rimmer and Lister, as Baxter says "Say goodbye to your teeth", Kill Crazy has his hand pressed against Rimmer's jaw, advancing his face towards Rimmer's, but when Baxter goes to punch Lister, Kill Crazy's hand is by his side and is stood away from Rimmer. (00:19:50)
