Billy Dee Williams suddenly turns into Tommy Lee Jones from Batman to Batman Forever.

It was six years, it wasn't that sudden.

That would only be the case if Riggs' wife had just died. I got the impression that she had been dead for a while (wasn't the Lost Boys on one of the marquees). Of course, there are plenty of other continuity errors in Lethal Weapon (like the kids aging faster than Rog).

More ROCKY continuity problems:


ROCKY II: Rocky almost goes blind. Can hardly see out of right eye.

ROCKY III: Eye problems miraculously gone. Possibly could've gotten corrective surgery with all his money, BUT:

ROCKY V: Suffers brain damage from Ivan Drago. Reportedly can't get a boxing license anymore.

HOWEVER:

ROCKY VI: Manages to get a license to fight again, despite all his previous brain damaging and having aged more than a decade.

I don't get this. The stuff we see in Superman II is the act of them getting caught, then their trial. In Superman I, you only saw their trial. It's just more information, not differing.

The Lost Boys on the marquee was because Donner was an executive producer on that flick. The movie is set in 1984. Dr. Woods tells the captain that Riggs' wife "was recently killed in a car crash". 3 years ain't recent. And Riggs wouldn't become suicidal only then.

the thing that always bothers me about the Evil Dead series is the book looks completely different in each movie, i like the one in part 2 the best and hate the big one in AOD

Yes, they are. The skin on Terminators is living skin, they say that somewhere in at least one of the movies.

Right. Reese explained all that in The Terminator.

IIRC he also said only dogs could detct them right away.

But Arnold explained to John in T2 that the 1000 series was made of liquid metal. Where's the living tissue surrounding that?

And Reese also explains that he couldn't take or transport any type of weapons. Well, in T3, not only is she liquid metal, but she can now turn into complex machinery.

Haven't read through the entire thread yet to know if this was mentioned, but Superman Returns has major continuity errors as it all but ignores III and IV.

Yeah...

Spoiler:
If Lois was brainwashed to forget that she spent the night with Superman in II, how does she know that he impregnated her in Superman Returns?

Spoiler:
Um, because she just saw the kid push a nailed-down piano twenty feet at ultra-high speed in order to crush a guy?
