He Got Game (1998)

Continuity mistake: When the two officers escort Jake into his hotel room, you can see that there is a wall to the right of the three men as they walk into the room. In other words, Jake's room is at the end of a hallway. However, when the officers leave Jake's room, you can hear the door shut, and the wall is no longer there. In other words, Jake's room is no longer at the end of a hallway.

He Got Game (1998)

Continuity mistake: As mentioned in a previous error, just before Jake is checked into the Surf Hotel, there is a long scrolling shot that illustrates the surroundings of Jake's room in the hotel. In particular, notice that Nathan's Seafood and Clam Bar is not across the street from Kennedy Fried Chicken. This is contradicted later when a) Jake looks out of his window and sees the Nathan's sign, and b) Jake is seen leaning out of his window above the Kennedy sign.

Continuity mistake: Shortly after the basketball shower scene, Sister Mary says "you're quite right, I'll look after them" over the span of two shots.

Continuity mistake: When Norville stands up and pays for a coffee after reading the job listings in the newspaper, you can see a tall glass container is an arms distance from the nearest two ashtrays.

The Joy Luck Club (1993)

Continuity mistake: During Waverly's first chess match, her opponent makes a move, resulting in a board where the white knight and white king occupy non-adjacent squares. In the subsequent close-up shot, the white knight and white king suddenly occupy adjacent squares. Still in the close-up, Waverly picks up the white knight, but then is no longer holding it until partway through the next shot. Finally, Waverly picks the piece back up, places it down, and calls a (rather dubious) checkmate.
