The Siege (1998)

The Siege mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Hub is talking on his cellphone to the terrorists on the bus, he holds the phone with two fingers wrapping laterally around the back of the phone (near the mouth-end), his finger tips pointing toward his upper cheek. When the angle instantly changes to show him more from behind, his two fingers are pointing up along the backside of the phone (fingertips pointing at his own ear). (00:22:15)

Continuity mistake: When Justice arrives to find the roadblock has broken up to chase Bandit, his car has a black quarter panel on the passenger side. But before and after this moment, the quarter is the same bronze as the rest of the car.

Smokey and the Bandit mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Just after Bandit picks up Frog, and the thieves arrive to strip her car, a shot of the Trans Am and the truck coming toward the camera shows Frog is not in her wedding headpiece, even though the shots before and after have her wearing it. (00:09:25)

Deja Vu (2006)

Deja Vu mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the red Ford Bronco is driven off the ferry (ignoring all the impossible factors required for it to successfully do so), it flips through the air and contacts the water going backwards, its right/rear tail light entering the water first. The closer next shot shows the truck sink somewhat as it continues to flip backward, onto its roof. The very next shot shows the interior of the truck as it enters the water right-side up and going forward as water rushes in. Denzel lurches forward and down, driving his face into the water that is about waist level. The next exterior shot is underwater as the truck now lands in the water, nose first and right-side up. It then begins the expected slow dive, nose-first. (01:52:30)

Bubble Boy (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Chloe visits Jimmy's room for the first time, he glances at her chest and a close-up shows she has a very ample endowment- very high, very round in the open area of her top. In the wider shots that follow, the open area of her top displays a very flat area, with her braless breasts settled much wider apart and lower. (00:08:05 - 00:09:10)

Bubble Boy (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy first leaves his house and starts running down the street, the curb is straight as he passes in front of two houses and falls forward. The shot changes to show him getting back up, and the house at left is the house at right in the prior shot - meaning he's now run past at least three homes along this straight curb. The shot then changes to show Jimmy running away from camera, beginning in a cul de sac, which has a continuously curved curb, and he can't have past more than one house yet. (00:19:35)

Bubble Boy (2001)

Continuity mistake: After Jimmy goes aboard the 'Bright and Shiny' bus, his mother discovers he is missing and screams. Several quick exterior shots follow as her scream continues. One of these shots is an overhead of the street Jimmy ran along earlier, and is actually the end of the very same footage. If you look hard, you can see Jimmy in his bubble at the end of the street, turning and looking left and right. Since he's on the bus already, he can't be here, too. (00:24:10)

Bubble Boy (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Chloe visits Jimmy's room for the first time, he reaches for his guitar and Chloe is seen from behind, at right, pulling her hair over and onto her right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder without any hair resting on or near it. When the shot reverses to show her from the front, her hair hangs freely down onto both shoulders again. (00:08:55)

Bubble Boy (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Chloe visits Jimmy's room for the first time, he glances at her chest and a close-up shows she has a purse hanging from her left shoulder. In all the wider shots before and after, the purse is on her right shoulder. (00:08:00)

Star Wars: Clone Wars mistake picture

Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Palpatine and the others exit the elevator, a rear shot of their group shows that one trooper holds his rifle, but the other is missing his rocket launcher. But when seen from the front again, this trooper has the very obvious launcher hanging from his shoulder, behind him. (00:40:00)

Star Wars: Clone Wars mistake picture

Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Palpatine and his rescuers emerge from the elevator, the characters' positions in relation to each other changes radically despite nobody moving. First shot, the line up, left to right, is Hammer Head, Trooper, female Jedi, Palpatine, Trooper and four-eyes (the 3 Jedi are in the front row, the rest behind). In the next shot, the order is now (right to left, from behind) Hammer Head, female Jedi, Trooper, Palpatine, Trooper and four-eyes (Palpatine now in the front row). Next, a tighter shot has Hammer Head moved to the back row, behind a trooper. Meanwhile, the two troopers keep switching sides, as the rifle is seen at left or at right, while the rocket launcher is not seen at all until the troopers are suddenly together at the left of the screen when Hammer Head yells. (00:40:00)

Chapter 13 - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: After Padme drags Threepio away as the attack on the city begins, Mace Windu's fighter swoops across the screen from left to right, and it rolls onto its side to show us the top of the cockpit. We see his canopy is similar to the design found in the 'Revenge of the Sith' film, being comprised of three large panels of glass. Unlike the film version (which has a small porthole behind the pilot's head), there is no glass behind Windu. But when the shot cuts to show him inside, there are three windows behind him. Seconds later, another interior view shows the three 'windows' are now solid panels. (00:28:20)

Star Wars: Clone Wars mistake picture

Chapter 14 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Palpatine and his rescuers are in the descending elevator, a wide shot shows the trooper with the rocket launcher standing at the far left of the shot, in front of the hammer-headed Jedi. The shot then tightens in and suddenly this trooper is behind Palpatine, who is behind that Jedi. (00:39:20)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Arnold has taken the fire truck, John is chased by a single police car. The overhead shot pans left to show the crane approaching from John's right. This shot shows the crane arm is pointing rearward. But when the crane bursts through the wall a split-second later, the arm points forward. (00:36:20)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When John crashes the Toyota truck into the rear of the silver Taurus, the car's bumper cover lands on the ground to the right of the car, between it and a parked car. When John drives away from the accident, he drives between the Taurus and the parked car, but the cover isn't there to be run over- it's now tucked under the Taurus at the right/rear corner. Then, as the crane smashes the Taurus, the cover is now well to the car's left, in the lane of opposing traffic. (00:31:10)

Vanishing Point (1971)

Vanishing Point mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In most close-up shots of the car's front end, the license plate is visible, but in many high-speed and stunt shots from further away, the plate is missing.

The Fog (2005)

The Fog mistake picture

Continuity mistake: As Stevie's car settles to the ocean bottom, an exterior shot looking at the front/driver-side shows her door mirror is missing. But when she wakes up and looks around, the mirror is on the door. (01:16:20)

The Fog (2005)

The Fog mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Nick is driving Elizabeth home, he mentions buying her a ring. The steering wheel is the standard hard plastic type found on trucks of it's era. When the glass shatters and the truck comes to a halt, the wheel is suddenly padded with a black, aftermarket wrap. (00:22:10 - 00:22:45)

The Fog (2005)

The Fog mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Stevie's radio station is shown located in a lighthouse, yet the night shot early in the film shows an entirely different lighthouse than is seen in daylight mid-way through the film. The later version's top, red portion isn't nearly as tall, and it has at least a third of its glass replaced with solid panels, while the earlier one is taller and all glass. (00:13:35 - 00:47:35)

The Fog (2005)

Continuity mistake: When Stevie's car falls in the water, the damage to the hood (as the car meets the water in the distant, slow-motion shot) is very different from two shots later (just before the front of the car sinks out of view). (01:15:55)
