Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee (1986)

Goofs

Crocodile Dundee

Edit

Continuity

The roo-shooter's camo-painted jeep has its "OEM" headlights turn off when the windshield is shattered, yet in the next shots of the truck backing up swiftly, both the headlights and the "add-ons" are all blazing brightly again.
As Mick is leaving the hotel towards the end, he has a brief conversation with Irving the doorman. After parting, Irving is seen brandishing Mick's knife as if it had just been given to him by Mick. This is missing from their conversation.

Factual errors

When Sue goes down to the water to fill her canteen, the reptile that lunges forward is not a crocodile, but a large American alligator, evident by the blunt snout and the placement of the teeth when its mouth is closed. A crocodile snout is narrower and more pointed.
When Mick shoots the spotlight used by the city cowboys, the bullet is stopped by the light. The caliber of rifle that Mick uses would ensure the bullet goes through the light and into the person holding it. Explanation: Mick is such a good marksman ("I barely nicked Wally" he says in the second movie) that he could aim his shot to shatter the light but avoid hitting the guy holding it.
Mick enters the subway at the 59th Street-Columbus Circle Station but the wall tiles feature the number 9. The scene was filmed at the 9th Avenue station on the BMT Culver Line.
At a little over the 22 minute mark, the "Sue Charlton" character asks if the King Brown snake is poisonous and "Crocodile" Dundee replies yes. This is not accurate: the snake is in fact venomous. The difference between the two is that venomous organisms inject toxins, where as poisonous ones release toxins if ingested. Deliberate error by the character: its a common mistake for a person to make, Mick was still showing disdain for Sue at this point and is also just as likely to not be bothered to explain.
Sue looks to be wearing light sand shoes. Given the harsh conditions of the Northern Territory bush and swamp lands, you would want to wear decent boots that give good foot protection and support, not light sand shoes that would fall apart and have no protection at all. Deliberate error by the writers: Sue Charlton is a city girl and her clothing shows she underestimated the terrain. This is reflected in Micks repeated disdain for her ability to keep up.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

Mick tells Sue he has no idea how old he is and knows nothing about when he was born, except that it was "in the summertime". Mick later travels to New York with Sue and to get a passport, he would have had to know his birth date. EDIT: This isn't correct. It's possible for someone from Australia to obtain a passport without their birth being registered. Details of this can be found on the Australia gov't passport website under "What if my birth in Australia wasn't registered?" EDIT: Mick already will have a Drivers License, Gun License, Business Registrations, Taxpayer and so on. Obviously he already has been allocated an approximated birthday, he just doesn't care as its not important to him. Following that an express passport can be issued in a few days.
In the opening credits, the cockpit of the helicopter is shown. The pilot is wearing a ball cap that says "Hiller Helicopters". The helicopter is actually a Bell Helicopter Model 47-G. Hiller did make a similar helicopter, the Hiller Model 360. The Model 360 was designated by the company as the UH-12. EDIT: There's no mistake here. Just because someone wears an item of clothing with a logo/phrase on it doesn't mean they are associated with it.

Revealing mistakes

The barrel glint of Mick's long rifle is clearly visible in front of and to the right side of the kangaroo when lit up by the drunken hunters' spotlights ("Wait! It's got a GUN!"). Yet the puff of gunsmoke does not come from the rifle. It emits from a smoke bomb placed on the kangaroo's left side.
About 45 seconds into the roo-shooting scene, an obviously fake mannequin of a kangaroo (it never moves and is sitting upright, whereas the live kangaroos are all loping away from the noisy mayhem) can be seen at the left of the picture.

Crew or equipment visible

Right after Crocodile Dundee climbs up to walk over the crowd in the subway station, the platform used to assist him in walking is briefly visible.
