The Kingdom picture

Continuity mistake: When Jeremy Pivens interacts with the FBI investigators, after the 'wrong' suspected terrorists are killed, he starts to pick up an AK-47 leaning against the wall and its barrel is pointed 'up'. He is told not to and in the next shot is putting it back, but the barrel is now pointing 'down'. Not to mention the continuity flaw in the distance he appears to have moved in a millisecond.

Captivity picture

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Jennifer gets matches on her side of the room, she lights one, presumably to see into the other room. In one shot the match is burned down almost to her finger, the next shot from the other side of the glass it is longer, and the next shot shows the match at a different angle with a larger flame than the previous shot. When she drops the match because it is supposed to have burned to her finger, it is clear the flame was not close to her finger/thumb at all.

Daddy's Little Girls picture

Continuity mistake: When Monty has just dropped off his kids from the fish aquarium, he and Julia are sitting in his car and she starts to cry and they talk.

Evening picture

Continuity mistake: When Buddy takes Ann down to the dock to meet Harris, he and Buddy get into the boat and begin getting it ready to sail. As Harris raises the mainsail, we see that the head of the sail is connected to a gaff. In the wide shot immediately following this shot, the head is connected to the mast, and the gaff has disappeared entirely. In all other shots of the boat, the gaff is present. Harris can't have drawn the sail so tightly that the gaff was completely vertical, thereby blending it with the mainmast so as to be imperceptible from a distance, because the shape of the sail would have made that impossible.

Continuity mistake: In the end of the film where Willy and Ted stand together in Ted's house, Ted says to Willy "See, you can't touch me, ever".
