Art Film Continuity Errors

Cremaster 5
After the scene where the racer is bubbling into vaseline, it then cuts to a scene of a man writhing in vaseline.  The viewer is never informed if this is the same vaseline.

Emporer Tomato Ketchup
A woman is dancing in a field and then a midget decapitates a chicken.  We are not informed if the chicken is the woman's sense of freedom or the town's lingering Id.

Un Chien Andalou
Oh, you can totally see where they cut to a cow's eye being sliced in half.

Le Week End
The movie begins with a couple planning on murdering the wife's father to gain his inheritance.  This portion is inconsistent with the rest of the movie's lack of plot.

I Am Curious (Yellow)
The interview with Martin Luther King midway through is the only scene that doesn't involve flagrantly bizarre pornography.

Eraserhead
In one scene, the turkey begins to bleed all over the dining room table, and in the next scene the blood stain is gone.  Oh wait, I get it.  He's dreaming it, and the turkey is the baby.  Oh wow, that completely makes sense now. 

Last Tango In Paris
In the scene where Marlon Brando has sex using a stick of butter, the movie seems to continue as if this was something that people do. 

Holy Mountain
In one scene, the giant mechanical vagina that rules the 5th dimension is shown facing the camera, but in the next scene it's shown at a slight angle.  Plus there's a giant mechanical vagina.

Andy Warhol's 8 hour film of the Empire State Building from dusk to dawn
Actually, this one's pretty continuous.
