Revealing mistake: Outside the church, Allnut tosses a cigar down knowing it will attract the natives. Notice how one extra, one of the first to arrive, grabs the cigar right away, but still pretends like everyone else to be looking for it left and right with great clamor, so that the scene can continue.

Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: In the 'last stand' covering Mason and Jamie, Vance collapses, hit by the last bad guy he kills; his right hand drops the gun and the assault rifle on the ground is pointing at the red fridge. When he is shown again the position is similar, but different. (01:09:05 - 01:13:05)

Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: Vance shot the tank of the forklift the baddies used to break open the riot door, and it exploded in a rather bad CGI animation. The forklift itself looks undamaged after, and when later in the movie Eddie runs past it to momentarily evade Cung Le and go deal with the jammer, the red tank itself is still there. (01:06:55 - 01:13:00)

Security (2017)
Plot hole: The bad guys try to enter the mall through the double doors of the entrance, but they do not use the food court entrance, which is undefended. There are plenty of them and there's no reason why they would not use it as main or additional entry point, especially considering that they put a sniper there to guard it (so it's not that they don't know about it), and it's not barricaded, just plain glass doors without even a chain.

A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song (2011)
Continuity mistake: Gail spills her drink on Guy's pants; both his lackeys stand up to wipe him with their ties, but in the close-up of Victor and Ravi plotting, on the left side of the screen the grey suited Tom is suddenly sitting. (01:12:10)
25th Sep 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: The corpse is examined by the police; the corpse is shown once in its entirety. The knee is exposed. When Donald Sumpter inspects the body, he has to roll up the pants for the knee to be visible. (00:29:20)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: Mai takes the dragonball from the long-haired woman of the mid-aftercredits (Seki); when she comes out of the manhole, the leather pouch doesn't have its string hanging loose from the left, but it does when Mai comes closer. (00:09:50)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Freddie holds the Mauser 1910 gun, Alison Sterling holds it in a very characteristic way (thumb and and pinky finger stick out) in the front views. It is held in a much more orthodox way in the views from behind. (00:43:50)
25th Sep 2019
The Knock Out Cop (1973)
Continuity mistake: When Rizzo and the sailor wrestle atop the building, in the views from outside the building Rizzo has the lead pipe pressed against his ursine neck, while in the shots from the terrace it's further away. (00:05:40)

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998)
Continuity mistake: After locking the door behind him 4 times, Shaggy goes to open the other one. In the wider shot, the door is decently lit, just a spot of shadow by the handle - in the close-up, the whole area is pitch black. (00:01:40)
25th Sep 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: During the kiss and farewell with Nikolai, Naomi Watts' hair is all agitated by the wind in every shot from one particular angle (camera behind his shoulder), and goes back to being unperturbed at the cut. (01:32:55)
25th Sep 2019
A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song (2011)
Continuity mistake: On Katie's bed Gail says "Oh bless your heart, no no no" stroking her hair. She keeps her hand to herself in the following shot, then back to the angle of the first and to the stroking. (01:04:20)
25th Sep 2019
Sleight (2016)
Continuity mistake: Angel just came to Bo's house to grab him for the second raid against Maurice. Holly is playing harmonica; her hand with the harmonica is up in the shots from behind, down on the table in other angles. (00:27:40)
25th Sep 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: Kiril and Nikolai hug in the wine cellar. There's a constant back and forth between two angles where Vincent Cassel's hand is positioned differently, either on Mortensen's back, or shoulder. (01:08:40)
25th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: Starting the seance, Poirot ask everyone to hold their hands. Lazarus barely stifles a laughter. Between that shot and the previous, his hand goes from above the table to underneath it. (01:38:25)
25th Sep 2019
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: Goku slides on the ground and gets a faceful of a mushy watermelon. When he stands, his shirt is dirty and with pulp all over, but his cheek and hair are clean and dry. (00:03:40)
25th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: Miss Lemon's ice cream quite literally melts between shots (and the actress ignores the dripping on her fingers). (00:51:15)
25th Sep 2019
Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: Mason is in shock after killing the first bad guy with the automatic weapon. Eddie tells him "Okay buddy, I'm on my way", leaning with the left arm against the counter - but in the next shot, turns out his hand is on his knee instead. (00:51:25)
25th Sep 2019
Security (2017)
Plot hole: Eddie estimates that the bad guys will break through Montclair in 30 minutes. Since they already broke the doors with the first car, and all that remains is a pile of rubble (with a forklift behind, even) that does not stop the passage of a person, it's hard to understand what would hold them back that long.
25th Sep 2019
Security (2017)
Other mistake: Eddie, Johnny and Vance are under fire on the roof of the mall from a sniper who wields a single-action rifle that he reloads, manually, slowly, distinctly pulling the level in the close-ups, but that somehow when he is not in frame fires shots in rapid succession. (00:38:45)
