Dirty Harry (1971)

Continuity mistake: The scenes at the quarry were obviously filmed on different days. When the kid is being held hostage, the sky in the background is different from what it was minutes ago.

Dirty Harry (1971)

Other mistake: Due to the way the opening titles were created, likely with an optical printer on plastic or glass, dust or other particles are very visible when they fade into the shot.

Visible crew/equipment: Viking's goons head to Coxman's house and step out of their vehicles. In the front vehicle, the camera is reflected in the glass of the driver's side door. It lingers there for a time.

Cold Pursuit (2019)

Factual error: It's a hard winter everywhere is film except in the scenes that take place in Denver. In one scene when Coxman kidnaps Viking's son, there are full leaves on trees and cherry blossoms. Moments prior there's a frozen tundra shot coming into Denver.

Revealing mistake: When the boys shoot the flaming arrows at the workers tent, it's painfully obvious they land in spots covered in fuel.

Revealing mistake: During the scene in the woods with the communication machine, Elliot tells E.T. that they need to go. You see the machine still working at a regular interval because a rope is pulling it. The shot pans to the left a touch and the rope stops moving, as if the person pulling it realises it's no longer in the shot.

The Walking Dead (2010)

Find Me - S10-E18

Continuity mistake: Daryl and Carol are walking to an abandoned home. Carol walks by a bush with bright sunlight coming from the left of the shot. The angle changes and it's overcast with no sun. Then we see Daryl again and it's once again sunny.

Continuity mistake: When King Akeem is training his son to take the whiskers off a sleeping lion, they are up in a platform. In the angle looking at the son, a fan is causing a shadow on Akeem's shoulders. In the opposite angle it is not visible.

Factual error: The episode takes place in New York in February. During the scene with the Beatles arriving at the theater, we see a tree that has very green and full leaves on it. Trees with green leaves are visible in other parts of the episode as well.

Audio problem: The man Larusso neglects to sell his dealership to thinks he just got the deal before being punked. He turns around to talk to his assistant but the audio here is off enough to be noticeable. His mouth doesn't match briefly.

Die Hard (1988)

Visible crew/equipment: The shadow of the camera is visible right of screen when John is wrapping himself with the fire hose and asking himself why he's doing it. It lingers for some time. It looks to be a steadycam with a monitor.
