Breach (2007)

Factual error: Early on in the movie there are boxes of new dell machines and moniters in the hallways. 3 things are wrong with this situation. First off, the design on the boxes is a newer design that was implemented in 2003, but the movie is set in 2001. Secondly, none of the monitors that you see in the office are dell monitors. 3rd, all the monitor boxes in the hallways are for flat panels (designated by the FP on the sides of the boxes), yet there are CRT monitors sitting on the desks. (I know about the box design because our company has a contract with Dell for our computers. I've personally done the ordering/config/setup since 2000).

Live Free or Die Hard mistake picture

Continuity mistake: John's face is all bloody after he rolls from the car and "kills a helicopter with a car". The blood on his face constantly changes during the shots. Sometimes there is blood all over his face, sometimes there is quite a bit less. Sometimes he has blood streaming from the cut on his nose, sometimes there is nothing on his nose. The blood changes back and forth, so it's not just him wiping the blood away from his face (and his hands are by his sides during all the shots). (00:44:35 - 00:45:30)

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: As Jigsaw is dying his bed is mostly reclined and his head is lying flat, but when you see the last shot of him you can see that the head of his bed is more elevated and he's slumped.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Jeff lays his bloodied hand right in the center of Jigsaw's chest (pointing towards Jigsaw's chin) when he says "I forgive you", but pretty much only his fingertips touch Jigsaw. Right before Jeff slices Jigsaw's neck you can see the handprint, but it's MUCH more defined than it should be AND the fingers are pointing towards the right instead of straight up. (01:42:10)

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda gets shot and falls next to the cart you can see that there is no blood on the cart. The next time you see her there are blood splatters all over it. Every time you see the cart there is a different design of blood on it, and at least one time there is no blood to be seen.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda says "I'm standing right here" her hair is hanging down, but brushed back from her right eye, in the previous and subsequent shots her hair is hanging down and covering her right eye. She was holding the gun in her right hand the whole time and all the cuts were instant, there was no time to move her hair.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Lynn is in the corner of the room when Amanda is threatening her with the gun. The shot moves to behind Amanda when she raises her hand to her head and now all of a sudden Lynn is a good 4 or 5 feet to her right. (instant cut, not enough time to move).

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Lynn says "Please, please let me go" there are tears in both eyes and tear marks on her cheeks. 2 shots later (maybe 7 seconds) you see a close-up of her face and there are no tears or tear marks. (Jigsaw was holding her hand, so she couldn't have wiped them away, plus you can see Lynn the whole time (in the background) and she never wipes them off). (01:26:10)

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff leans down to Lynn you can see she she has some blood on her chin and neck. The shot goes to Jigsaw, then back to Lynn and Jeff. Now her neck and chin have no blood. Shot moves to Jigsaw again, then back to Jeff and Lynn. Now she has blood on her neck and chin *and* blood from the corner of her mouth.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Amanda's holding the gun in her right hand in every scene when she's arguing with Jigsaw, except when she's saying "It's all BS," then the gun is in her left hand. It's back in her right hand then very next scene (all instant cuts, no time to switch hands).

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Amanda's hair is in a lose ponytail when she sees Jigsaw holding Lynn's hand. A large part of her hair is hanging down the right side of her face and in her eye. She storms out of the room and now all of a sudden her hair is all pulled back in a tight ponytail and no hair is hanging down or behind her ear, it's all back in the ponytail (instant cut, no time for her to re-do her hair).

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: There is a smear of blood on Jeff's right temple that disappears in the shot right after he drops the saw blade. It reappears in the very next shot.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The green tube that's connected to Jigsaw is gone when he says "Suffering? You haven't seen anything yet", but it was there in the previous scene and it's back the next time you see him.

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Right before Lynn says "I don't know what you know, but my marriage has survived more suffering that you could possibly imagine" her hair is all pulled back behind her ear. As she's saying that line you can now see that a noticeable amount is hanging on the side of her face and across her ear. (01:25:50)

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: There's a shot of the right foot when "The Rack" starts twisting it. There is a blood trail that runs off between his first 2 toes, and a lesser one that runs off between his 2nd and 3rd toes. The screen cuts to a close-up of the foot and there's only the blood trail that runs off between the first 2 toes.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff is screaming at the guy in "The Rack" there are a few spinning shots of "The Rack". You can see that the guy's arms aren't broken, even though you've seen them both be twisted until they snapped. (Slo-mo helps but is NOT required).

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff is monologuing about how "Everyday for 3 years I wanted to kill him" there is a tear that appears in his right eye and starts to run down his cheek. The shot cuts away for a second, then back to Jeff and there is no tear, not even a wet tear trail.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: In "The Rack" room you get a shot of the box holding the shotgun and the key. When first viewed from the back the keyfob and the key are directly parallel to the front and back of the box. The scene cuts back to the guy in the rack, then back to the box. Now the key and keyfob have moved and are almost vertical to the sides (the judge hadn't started to move it yet, there's nothing to explain how or why it would have moved).

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff flips over the 3rd card he is holding it with his left hand by the left edge of the card, but when the scene (instantly) cuts away to a view of in front of Jeff you can see the he's holding it by the bottom (look at the way the card it bent).
