Freaky Friday (1976)

Continuity mistake: Throughout the movie, the characters' thoughts are in the voice of whoever's "soul" it is. However, in the scene where Annabelle (in Ellen's body) is having issues with the washing machine, she thinks "whoa there, you just have a little case of the hiccups" and the voice is Ellen's.

The Contractor (2007)

Continuity mistake: In the 2nd meeting between Emily and James, she brings him supplies. Emily is seen twisting at the cap on the bottled water before handing it to James. However, when she hands it to him, the cap is visibly still on the bottle. James is then seen removing the cap himself. He sets the cap on the table, takes a drink, then puts the bottle on the table. The next shot shows Emily with her hands in her lap then reaching for the bottle and putting the cap back on as if the cap was already in her hand. She never removed he cap. The cap would still be on the table where James put it. There is no way she could have retrieved that cap off the table without coming into camera view.

Just Wright (2010)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Leslie dumps ice on Scott, the sheets change position between shots. When Leslie first walks into the room, Scott is lying on his back but slightly on his side with the sheets somewhat messy. The next shot, right before she throws the ice, Scott is now lying perfectly on his back with the sheets perfectly folded beneath his arms. Then, after she throws the ice the second time, Scott is soaked in water along with the sheets. The next shot shows Scott and the sheets dry as a bone.

All About Steve (2009)

Continuity mistake: When Mary first arrives at the hospital protest, she is being escorted through the metal detector by Hartman. Mary is wearing a tie-dye shirt with one blue shoulder and one red shoulder. As she passes through the detector, her ribbon is pinned on her red shoulder. The camera shoots to Hartman, then back to Mary, exposing her red shoulder without the ribbon. The camera shoots back to Hartman, then the next shot shows Mary removing the ribbon from her red shoulder and placing it into the bin so she can pass through the detector successfully. I understand how a person can sometimes confuse right from left depending on the angle of the camera. This time, one shoulder is red and one is blue, there's no confusion.

All About Steve (2009)

Continuity mistake: The scene where Mary, Howard and Elizabeth are running to the tunnel to escape the tornado, Mary has her umbrella open. The next shot shows Elizabeth going into the tunnel with Mary right behind. Mary's umbrella is still open. The next shot shows Mary half way down the tunnel with her umbrella closed. There is no way she could have closed that umbrella in that wind and got that far down the tunnel that fast.
