Goofs - These are for all cuts/edits of Comic Strip films

Five go Mad on Mescalin

When the Famous Five get to Fiona Richmond's cottage, Fiona has big hair which fly's out in all directions, when she serves up the dinner only seconds later her hair is notably more tame.

Space virgins from the planet sex

When James Blonde fills the car up with petrol near the end of the film, he replaces the nozzle, however the numbers on the actual pectraal pump are still all at zero.

The Supergrass

In the scene with the little boy and the sandcastle, the little boy kicks Troy's bottle of booze into the muddy water. When Günter and Wong pick all their picnic stuff up to go back to the beach house the bottle is back on the edge of the castle.

When the little boy kicks Troy's bottle into the muddy puddle, Troy picks the boy up and throws him into the puddle, when the boy gets up his back is clean except for a tiny muddy splash, but given the dirtiness of the puddle he should have had a lot more dirt on his back.

This maybe a plot hole or lack of budget: The flashback where Harvey and Lesley get it on is actually the same hotel room Dennis and Lesley stay in, but the flashback was at the beginning and they hadn't got to the hotel yet.

Dennis rows Leslie and Harvey out to sea in a small boat to find the stash of money. As he is rowing his polo neck is soaking wet - a bit suss considering he hadn't gone into the water yet!

Detectives on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown

At the beginning of the film Sarah Stockbridge's character is talking to Keith Allen's. He puts a spoonful of stuff in her mouth (looks like mayonnaise) there is a large dollop on the left side of her mouth. When the shot cuts back a split second later there is no trace of it.

Jason Bentley is driving the other TV Detectives to the old manor, when the camera switches from Jason's back/side to front, the suit he is wearing switches from a Deep Plum to a Red colour.

In the car chase scene near the end, the 3 cars are all screaming around the car park, in places Peter Richardson's wig looks like its about to jump ship.

At the end of the film when all the detectives are sitting in the Guv's office drinking, the character of Jason Bentley speaks, but even Peter Richardson is playing Foyle he is providing the voice! look out for when Peter takes a sip of wine!

Funseekers

Cathy Burke's character asked for 4 spritzers at the bar but previously she had been sitting with only two other people. Who was the other one for?

On the beach, when the Funseekers are passing the marrow type thing to each other via their legs, the camera trails the people as they pass it but they get to a woman wearing pink, she passes it along-except there is no marrow type thing to pass.

South Atlantic Raiders Part 1

When Max calls the police he gives his address as 19 Cheam Avenue. However when the police arrives it says 17 on the door.

South Atlantic Raiders Part 2

When the guys are driving into Heathrow airport in the Ice Cream Van, Peter, Ade and Robbie are eating ice pops. As the scene changes, the ice pops change both length and colour. 

More Bad News

During the Castle Donington sequence: To start with Adrian Edmondson's character is playing a Red and Black striped guitar but towards the end during the instrumental bit his guitar is black and white.

A Fistful of Travellers Cheques

Rik Mayall flobs a greenie and it lands on his shoulder, when the camera cuts away then back there is no trace of it- not even a snail trail.
