• Continuity: After Woody's arm is ripped the first time, Andy's mom puts him on the second shelf. In the next shot Woody is on the top shelf.
  
  
• Continuity: When Buzz and the gang are scanning the TV to look for Al's Toy Barn commercial, reflection of the desk and the room is noticeable on the TV screen, but not any of the toys, even though they are standing on the desk, in front of the TV.
  
  
• Continuity: When "Utility Belt" Buzz is standing with the toys in the air duct preparing to charge into Al's apartment, his utility belt disappears for one shot, making him look like the regular Buzz Lightyear.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Al faxes the Polaroid pictures to Japan, he feeds them in face up. While most fax machines are fed face down, some are fed face up.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Toys in boxes do not become conscious until they are opened; this is seen in the first movie (when Buzz arrives), and in the toy store. Stinky Pete is in what appears to be an unopened box, but we find out that it has been opened; presumably, doctoring the box to appear unopened was another job by the cleaner.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Woody kicks the record player up to "78", the stylus moves far across the record, yet the song continues uninterrupted.
  
  
• Continuity: Early on, there is a shot of the bookcase that clearly does not have Wheezie between the two books.
  
  
• Anachronisms: The cover of Life Magazine has a headline which reads "Sputnik - First Photos Revealed" and is dated 12 January 1957. Sputnik wasn't launched until 4 October 1957.
  
  
• Continuity: When the toys are crossing the road to get to Al's Toy Barn, the concrete pipe rolls over the chewing gum next to Mr Potato Head. The chewing gum sticks near a groove in the pipe. The groove is no longer visible from the other side after the gum sticks and the pipe rolls away.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Hamm is flipping through the channels, he goes too far and says he needs to go around again. When he does, you see the commercial come on and everyone says stop! However, you still hear Ham flipping, but the channel does not change.
  
  
• Continuity: After Woody shuts the heat duct, he looks up at Jesse. When she looks down at him, you can see that the screw is back into place, in the bottom left-hand corner.
  
  
• Factual errors: As Buzz is running on the luggage conveyor belts at the airport, he has a luggage sticker with "BUTTE" on his "butt". Airline luggage stickers are printed with only the official airport code, which for Butte, Montana, is BTM.
  
  
• Continuity: When Al is revealing the Polaroid pictures he took of Woody, he reveals them from left to right, showing the picture on the far right on top of the others. When the angle changes, the picture on the left is now on top.
  
  
• Continuity: Al is on a plane for Japan but the next morning he's on TV very sad in a chicken suit. The flight to Japan and back would take longer than this, not including the time it takes to produce and air a commercial.
  
  
• Continuity: When the toys cross the road under construction cones, they cause a semi to jackknife and a multiple car pile up. Not very much later, when Al and the toys drive back across the street to his apartment, the traffic is flowing free on the road.
  
  
• Continuity: When the pipe rolls toward Mr. Potato Head while crossing the road, there is one shot from behind the pipe. At the rate it was rolling, it would have smashed him right away. However, we see Potato Head freeing himself from the gum, which took a few seconds. Moreover, when Potato Head walks from the gum, he has a fair amount of time, and the pipe is further away than it originally appeared.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: Early in the movie after Woody hits his head on the dresser and falls to the floor, Buzz jumps on the race car and rides it down the track. As he goes through the loop, his arm passes through the loop of the track.
  
  
• Continuity: When the toys ride up on the elevator to Al's apartment, they are on the roof of the elevator. yet as they jump off the elevator, and run through the air vent they exit the vent on the ground floor, not near the celling where they should be.
  
  
• Continuity: When Rex is nattering on to Mr. Potato Head about how to defeat Zurg, Potato Head takes out his ears, implying that when it's not attached to him, it doesn't work. But later, at the apartment building, the gang uses one of Potato's eyes to see what's happening to Woody, conflicting with his earlier actions.
  
  
• Continuity: When Woody is chasing Jessie on the cargo truck and the plane, the rip in his arm (from the Prospector moments ago) disappears and reappears during different shots.
  
  
• Continuity: When the toys first enter Al's Toy Barn, there is a bookshelf to the left with the video game strategy guide that catches Rex's eye. Later, when Al has left the store and Buzz is trying to open the doors, a tower of boxed toys stands where the bookshelf originally appeared.
  
  
• Continuity: When the toys are under traffic cones and crossing the road, in a far shot the rolling pipe is seen to span at least two white lines on the road, but in the close up shot the whole length of the pipe is seen but no white lines are visible.
  
  
• Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the impostor Buzz knocks over Woody in Al's apartment, the laser on his arm is heard without him pressing the button to activate it or the laser light being seen.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the scene when Woody is having a dream about Andy returning from Cowboy Camp, Woody is dropped and falls into a garbage can full of broken toys. In all previous scenes, he was unable to use his arm after it tore; however, he uses both arms to attempt to escape the grip of the toys. However, as this is a dream it is quite acceptable that Woody would be able to use both arms.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In Toy Story (1995), Sid burned a dot into Woody's head with a magnifying glass, but now the dot is gone. Since Andy adeptly sews up Woody's arm, it is possible that Andy (or his mother) touched up Woody's burn mark.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Hamm turns off the TV at the beginning, there's no reflection of him, Rex who is beside him, or the remote.
  
  
• Factual errors: The semi with the large pipe on its trailer has the warning placard 1203. That is a hazmat sign for a truck carrying gasoline (a tanker, that is). Since a giant pipe isn't toxic, flammable, explosive, etc, it would be unlikely to be displaying a hazmat placard at all.
  
  
• Continuity: When Al is heading down the elevator, Buzz and the others lower Slinky towards the box that hold Woody. Woody is then pulled back into the box by Stinkey Pete. However, earlier we see Al stacking the toys into a perfect fitting box, it is not possible for Stinkey Pete to have pulled Woody back into the box.
  
  
• Continuity: After the fight in the toy store, Utility Belt Buzz straps the original Buzz into a starship package. But Utility Belt Buzz was in a display case and there were no empty starship packages to put Original Buzz into.
  
  
• Factual errors: As the plane is rolling down the runway, Woody tells Buzz and Bullseye to get behind the tires. The plane rotates only moments after Woody and Jessie swing off of the plane and on to Bullseye's back, which means that Bullseye would have had to be running at least 150 mph to keep up.
  
  
• Continuity: When Buzz jumps on the back of Al's car and falls off, a feather drops out, which is later used as a clue to track down Al. (He wears a chicken suit on his commercials). Later we see Al in his apartment in the chicken suit, talking on the phone. We get a very good look at the suit, and it is obvious that the feathers are painted or printed on. There are no real feathers - so the feather that fell from Al's trunk couldn't exist.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Rex tells Buzz #2 about how to defeat Zurg, Buzz makes 'notes' on his "computer" on his arm, which is really a sticker and therefore shouldn't be making any beeping noises. However, this is allowable within the fantasy toy-biology of the movie.
  
  
• Continuity: In Toy Story (1995) Woody and Buzz use RC's remote control to get back to the moving fan. Under the influence of Sid's rocket, Woody lets RC fly into the moving van. However, in the air, neither Woody nor Buzz is holding the remote once they are in the air. If the remote fell down to the street below, how does Andy use RC as a launch vehicle in this film?
