A Boss in the Living Room picture

Continuity mistake: The protagonist just unveiled to his boss the "nest" ad, to which he suggests some not-so-minor changes. Luca Argentero is holding the drape in two very different ways between shots (first with bunched cloth sticking up top, then simply folded). (00:05:00)

Expelled picture

Continuity mistake: Felix pushes the fire alarm button and exits the building. As his buddy Danny reaches him, it's obvious that multiple takes of the scene have been made, since some extras that were meters ahead of him are just passing him by at the very first cut. (00:04:30)

Robot Overlords picture

Continuity mistake: When the kids are looking at the Stonehenge-type structures, the younger boy calls for everybody to come and see the hidden message. From the shot in front of the boy you can tell from his body position he's sitting up, however in the next shot from overhead, the boy is now lying down on the rock.

As the Gods Will picture

Continuity mistake: The students' 3rd game is Kagome with 4 Kokeshi dolls. The pink doll starts to the right of the first student to play, the dolls move in a circle around him, she passes in front of him and by the end of the shot she is near his left. The Kokeshi dolls all move backwards between shots and the pink doll passes in front of the student again. After this, she takes 7 seconds to move about 100° despite nobody slowing down and she took that amount of time to move about 170°.

White Bird in a Blizzard picture

Continuity mistake: When Kat is asking the detective what he thinks happened to her mother, after Kat is in college and she visits home, the detective lights a cigarette. We see him move the cigarette out of view and when he brings it back there is barely 3 or 4 drags left. The camera cuts to Kat and back at the detective and there's over half of the cigarette left now.

When Ernest is pumping, half of the horizontal pipe is also white and clean. In the rear view, the vertical pipe is brown and rusty. Some mud spurts out of the spigot, but the spigot is clean, dry, and white in the front view. (00:05:10)

A Merry Friggin' Christmas picture

Continuity mistake: The glass that was dropped and shattered on the floor had a different pattern of fragments when Mitch [Robin Williams] knelt to clean it up. Most obvious was that the majority of shattered pieces settled toward Mitch's feet but were on the opposite side of the largest piece of glass during clean-up. There's also a "stupidity" in the way Mitch wiped up the glass - pressing down on the thin towel (apparently to entrap fragments), which is most likely to result in getting pierced. (00:01:40)

Transcendence picture Transcendence mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The car the hybrid man pushes is in OK shape at first, then he lifts and flips it through the copper fence, and now its whole front side is gone. They might used an already wrecked "car double" for the scene when it crashes and explodes. (01:40:50)
