The Heat (2013)

Continuity mistake: Sarah tries to help a choking restaurant customer by cutting into his throat and inserting a straw. Blood starts squirting out onto her shirt, and her hands are completely covered in blood. But then when Shannon and Sarah are in the parking lot, there's no blood to be seen. She may have thoroughly washed her hands, but her shirt should have had blood still on it.

Just Go with It (2011)

Trivia: During the scene when Daniel and Katherine and Devlin and Ian are having dinner together at Oceano's, the band playing on stage is called Hapa. They're not actors - they're a real Hawaiian band from Maui. They also appeared on an April 2011 episode of Hawaii 5-0.

Just Go with It (2011)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when the camera is panning over each character in bed (after Daniel has announced he's marrying Palmer the next day), you see Dolph sleeping in the bath tub. He rolls over and his arm falls into the toilet, and you can see that the seat is up. A moment later, the little boy sleep walks into the bathroom and sits on the toilet. Dolph's arm is still in the toilet, but the seat is now down.

You Again (2010)

Continuity mistake: In the post-rehearsal dinner scene where Marni and Joanna start fighting and throwing dishes, Joanna dumps a bowl of green soup over Marni's head. As Will is chastising both of them, the green slime on Marni's clothes and hair changes in each shot when the camera cuts back to Marni. It's most noticeable on her bangs, which are sometimes plastered flat against her forehead and other times are separated into spiky pieces.

Factual error: In the airport scene where Garrett is leaving San Francisco after visiting his girlfriend Erin, they're at the Southwest Airlines counter. He's just checked in for his flight and they're starting to say their goodbyes. He makes a quick comment complaining about getting a middle seat. Southwest has an "open seating" plan where passengers can choose where they sit once they board. So it's a mistake that he would have gotten an assigned seat.

Date Night (2010)

Continuity mistake: After Claire and Phil steal Holbrooke's car, they pull over to the side of the road to talk about their marriage. They both have seatbelts on at first, but in several shots Claire does not have her seatbelt on, while in other shots she does.

Date Night (2010)

Other mistake: During the scene where Phil and Claire break into the real estate office to look up the name of her past client, Claire says his name is Holbrooke Grant. She types that into the computer to search for it, but it's shown as Holbrooke, Grant. With the comma, that would make Grant his first name.

The Nanny Diaries (2007)

Other mistake: There's a scene at the end of the movie where Annie is sitting looking through some graduate school brochures, and her boyfriend Hayden comes over and hands her a letter from the "5th Avenue Mom" she used to work for. She says she can't read it so he offers to read it to her. The camera shows a close-up of the letter as Hayden starts to read. In the letter it's written that it's been "some time" since we've spoken, but he reads it as "several months."

No Reservations (2007)

Continuity mistake: There's a scene in Kate's restaurant kitchen where Nick asks Zoe to hold the big bowl of spaghetti he had been eating, and she starts eating it. At one point there's a piece of basil hanging off the edge of the bowl and when the camera cuts back to her, it's gone.

Norbit (2007)

Factual error: After Kate's wedding is broken up and everyone leaves the church and ends up fighting in the town square (using shovels, pizza oven paddles, etc.) you can see a post office in the background. The city and state say "Boiling Springs, Tennessee" followed by the zip code 87168. This isn't a real zip code according to the US Post Office, and zip codes beginning with "8" are closer to the west coast (i.e. in Nevada or Utah). Real Tennessee zip codes begin with 37's or 36's.

Continuity mistake: When "Lola" (the lingerie-clad assassin) forces her way into Frank's car and makes him drive at gunpoint, her heavy black eye makeup is smeared under her eyes. Throughout the scene it changes from being a very wide smudge to just being a little smudged under her eyes.

Bewitched (2005)

Continuity mistake: When Jack is asking Isabel out on a date as they're standing by their trailers, he's very excited and walking backwards towards his trailer. His bicycle is behind him and it looks like he's just about to trip over it. When the camera cuts back to him, he's closer his trailer door and hasn't fallen over the bicycle, but it's not visible behind him anymore either.

The Terminal (2004)

Continuity mistake: In the scene in Dixon's office, where he's trying to explain to Viktor that his country has fallen in a military coup, he uses an apple and potato chips to make his point. When the bag of chips pops open it sprays broken bits of chips all over Viktor's torso and lap. Although Viktor does brush some off, in the next shot he stands up to leave and there are no chips on his clothes or lap. You could believe he brushed them away off camera, but don't even see any on the floor around him. (00:07:05)
