Continuity mistake: When Lois is sneaking up on the bus, you can see there are several pipes on the roof of the building they are on sticking up all around. But a little later when Toyman is lifting the school bus with the spider, the roof is visible behind it and the pipes are gone. (00:36:05 - 00:37:30)

Hot-Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X - S1-E4

Question: Back in the day when I was a little kid, I used to own a handful of VHS copies of some episodes of this series, and something that always stuck out with me was that on the covers of some, the turtle's weapons were changed in color. I don't remember for sure which ones, but I remember one example that I believe was on the cover for Hot Rodding Teenagers, Leonardo's swords were solid red. Bright red. Like they were made of plastic or something and looked like toys. Why did they do that for the cover? Was it really such an issue to show metal weapons on a kid's cartoon that was full of them anyways?

Chosen answer: No, that's just the kind of mistake that gets made when you contract a foreign company completely unfamiliar with the product in question to produce your marketing materials as cheaply as possibly.

Phixius

Trivia: When Splinter reveals that he knows April and she speaks his name, the camera pans over Mikey as he asks if she is a Jedi and he can be seen holding a can of Orange Crush. As promotion for the movie, Mikey was featured on the boxes of Orange Crush soda once the movie came out. Similarly with Donnie on Grape Crush and Raph on Strawberry Crush.

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: In the scene following Lex shooting Tess, it cuts to Metropolis PD surrounding a building. The camera pans up to show a school bus at the top of the building partly hanging off, and it shows the wall the wheel is resting on with no damage. It cuts to a close up and suddenly there is a lot of damage and hole in the wall where the bus' front wheel is. (00:35:20)

Continuity mistake: As Tess and Lex are talking in his office about how Lex was cheated out of his winning strategy by Doomsday, the arm rests on his chair are square. But then when the camera pans back up after he shoots Tess in the face, the arm rests are now rounded and bigger. (00:35:00)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The school bus on the building has caused some damage, right under the front wheel. Moments later when Toyman appears and the goes to the top of the bus in his spider mech, there's less damage under the wheel. Also the front wheel goes from looking like a 5 point star to a 7 point star. (00:35:40)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: When Toyman first appears, he walks his spider mech down the side of the building and it cuts to a close up of him saying he won't share, and begins hugging some money up to his face with both hands. It then cuts back to an exterior shot of the spider, and you see that Toyman's hands are instantly down at his controls again. (00:35:35)

Continuity mistake: Before Lex shoots Tess, you can see there are two computer monitors on his desk. In the silhouette shot when he blows her brains out, suddenly the leg of the desk is much closer to the monitor on the right. (00:34:55)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Perry White says that Jimmy is weak and is not strong enough to hold onto his ideals, he turns around his chair and holds up his glass.

Continuity mistake: After Jimmy quits the Daily Planet, Lois barges into Perry's office demanding to know why and discovers that he is drinking. One shot shows him tip up his glass and drink most of the contents, leaving only a small amount with the four ice cubes. It cuts to Lois for a moment then back to Perry as he says to not sugar coat it, and now his glass is half full, when he nearly emptied it moments before. (00:33:50)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Lois and Perry are arguing in his office, and you see his door. The handle of the door is on the right side. But 30 minutes later in the film when they are talking there again, the door handle has switched to the other side. It's most noticeable when Perry says "easy to lose sight of I guess in a world without Superman." And then takes a drink. (00:03:20 - 00:33:35)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: As the camera is zooming in on the electronics shop, you can see the doorway and a welcome mat out front of it. But when the thugs break the window and start stealing TVs out of it, the doorway is barely visible, but the bottom half of it is now wall that connects the other sides, and the welcome mat has been cut down to a small little thing barely what it was. It then goes back to normal in the overhead shot. Also the building to the right of the electronics shop changes up in the overhead shot. (00:32:45)

Revealing mistake: An electronics shop has TVs on display, all showing a newscast about rising crime rates in Metropolis since Superman's death, and the window is broken by a brick as some thugs start stealing the TVs. Watch closely as they pull them out, the TVs have no power cords, but are on. Most noticeably on the second one when the guy has the TV lifted up, no cord seen, and yet the image still displays on the TV until he pulls it out of the window. (00:33:05)

Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning of the film, you see Clark pick up and then set down a picture of his mother down by his computer towers. Then 30 minutes into the film you see Lois look across over at that same picture after Superman's death and the computer towers change in design. (00:04:30 - 00:30:45)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: After the scene in the Daily Planet where Lois and Perry are talking about Clark missing and that Lois should go see friends or family, it cuts to her driving down a road by large corn fields going to Martha Kent's house. She is driving with her right hand on the top of the steering wheel and her left arm hanging out the window, but with her hand and wrist propped up on the seal. It then cuts to a different angle as the car is driving by and suddenly her left arm looks extremely weird in some animation error. It appears it is just the elbow of her arm out the window, but that it has somehow merged with the door and she has become part of the car. Also her right hand is no longer at the top of her steering wheel and her head rest on her seat is suddenly not extended up as much. (00:30:55)

Superman/Doomsday mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Superman's funeral, Lois is sitting in her cubicle at the Daily Planet reading a newspaper. When Perry White walks up and talks about there not being word from Clark Kent, it cuts to a shot from further back. Some of the papers on the wall behind her vanish, the pencil on her desk vanishes, the papers pinned to her bulletin board to her right change shape slightly, especially the one towards the center bottom becomes straighter instead of crooked and longer, also displaying different text. And the distance between the edge of her bulletin board and the other cubicle wall increases. (00:30:15)

Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene showing Superman's funeral, there is a yellow guard rail around the memorial stand with his coffin in front of the podium. Standing in front of the yellow rail are 13 police officers in full uniform, 7 on one side and 6 on the other. The shot cuts to the audience for a moment, and then shows the podium and memorial again from a distance shot, and suddenly all the police standing by the coffin have vanished. (00:28:10)

Continuity mistake: As Superman is emerging from the smoke after the impact, the amount of damage to his suit on his right shoulder changes between shots of him, the close up of Lois and the back to him. The damage on the chest area also changes from appearing near perfect to very jagged. And the blood dripping down from his mouth also becomes thinner. (00:26:50)

Superman/Doomsday (2007)

Continuity mistake: Superman grabs Doomsday and rockets upwards with him to save a little girl and to take the creature into space. When he first starts going up, Doomsday's arms are forced down at his sides, but slightly in front of him from the force. But when the shot cuts to a distance shot, suddenly Doomsday's arms are stretched up in the air like how Superman normal flies. (00:25:25)
