The Sting (1973) - 5 mistakes
Directed by George Roy Hill, starring Charles Durning, Dana Elcar, Paul Newman, Robert Earl Jones, Robert Redford, Robert Shaw
Continuity: When Hooker meets Gondorff for the first time, he puts him in a shower, fully dressed. When the camera cuts to a front view of Paul Newman, as the shot goes back and forth between him and Redford, Newman's right pant leg alternates between being soaking wet and completely dry several times.
Continuity: When Lt. Snyder meets with Polk, the FBI agent, they both sit down and Snyder makes a comment about Polk's "nice office," which is really an empty factory. Polk gets offended immediately and from an over-the-shoulder shot you can see him rise from his chair. The camera switches to a shot of his face and he's calmly sitting down again, then rises up in anger. He stands up twice.
