Goofs:
Continuity: When leaving the store-room to begin the final battle, we see Seth Gecko raise his leg to kick down the door. It makes contact and for a split second we see that Seth's leg actually doesn't move the door at all, then the shot changes briefly before returning to show the door wide open -- and also revealing that the door opens inwards.
