Continuity: When he calls his friend Larry at Durkin's garage, Dick Hallorann has a small pile of change on top of his briefcase at the pay phone in the airport. He doesn't move his left hand from the phone or his right hand from his pocket, but the pile of change gets bigger and moves around throughout the scene. In one shot a nickel appears out of nowhere on top of the quarter on the right.
The Shining (1980) - 299 mistakes
Directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Barry Nelson, Danny Lloyd, Jack Nicholson, Scatman Crothers, Shelley Duvall (add more)
Deliberate "mistake": Jack says, "Wendy, baby, I think you hurt my head real bad" as he's locked up in the storeroom, and the camera shoots up at his face from the floor. If you look closely extra boxes were moved in on the left and right above his head. The boxes in this shot extend past the frame of the door, in previous and subsequent shots the boxes are at least six inches away from the doorframe.
Continuity: When Jack walks in on Wendy going through his typing he startles her and as she picks up the baseball bat she doesn't have time to make sure that the name is facing the camera, and it isn't. She's not twirling the bat as we see in the next 17 shots of it, where Carl Yastrzemski's name is there and in front of the camera.
Continuity: As Wendy goes through Jack's typing she reads 21 lines as she rolls the sheet up through the typewriter carriage. We see in the close-up how the piece of paper is inserted in the typewriter and when we see it again after she pulls it up, it hasn't moved and is in exactly the same position as it was before she read it.
Continuity: After they leave the ice box, Dick Hallorannn turns the corner and proceeds to show them the storeroom. Before they enter, we see a prominent red fire extinguisher hanging against the column where Wendy eventually gets her knife later in the movie. Several shots later as Dick Hallorannn discusses "Shining" with Danny, the fire extinguisher is removed from the column.
Continuity: Wendy tries to use the phone to call the forest rangers and it doesn't work, so she walks to Mr. Ullman's office to use the radio. As she walks past the table that the hedge maze is on, it has been moved in relation to the designs on the floor underneath it from when Jack walked over to that spot a few shots ago.
