The Great Outdoors

Other mistake: When John Candy starts the drag boat, upon the sound of the engine starting, water starts flowing from the exhaust pipes but the engine never turns over.

Continuity mistake: During the bear in the cabin scene, after Chet puts the door back up, shortly after, you'll see the door is on the floor while Roman is fighting the bear with the oar from the steps. (Also, note in that same shot, you'll see the bookshelf was destroyed to pieces with its books all over the floor. That scene was never shown and must have been cut from the movie).
