Character error
Before activating the Peacekeeper for the second time, president Stone says that 50 reporters are waiting for him outside. The next scene shows those reporters, and there are fewer than 20 of them.
Continuity
The number of reporters waiting for president Stone near the end of the movie keeps changing from 11 to 16 between shots.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs
Astroboy's hair-spikes change position from left to right and vice versa throughout the whole movie.
But then, this is in keeping with the spirit of the original TV series, so it not quite a mistake.
Plot holes
According to Dr. Tenma, Astro was programmed with all of Toby's memories (which is a crucial part of the plot), but it is never explained where those memories came from. Although it's implied that the memories came from Toby's hair, this isn't possible, because memories are not encoded into DNA.
Revealing mistakes
Despite being subjected to incredible stresses of "tractor beams" and multiple direct missile and cannon hits, Astro's ordinary clothes aren't damaged. At worst, they get a little bit dirty.
