Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Continuity mistake: Runaway Float: When Arnold first sees the beeper float, he says, "How can they control that thing?", and Gerald is sitting on the curb to the right of Arnold. In the next shot, Gerald is suddenly behind him. Arnold is also a lot further away from the curb than he originally was. (00:08:16)
Runaway Float / Partners - S2-E20
Revealing mistake: Runaway Float: When Arnold and Gerald are watching the parade, Arnold turns his head to look at the marching band. When he looks away from it, his left eye doesn't move, and it stays visible in his hair for the remainder of the shot. (00:07:51)
Eating Contest / Rhonda's Glasses - S2-E13
