Powder (1995)

Continuity mistake: In the very first shot in the movie an ambulance is driving to the hospital with one of the left headlights out and one of the red lights out. In the next shot, as the ambulance pulls up to the hospital, the broken headlight switches to the right side, both red lights are now working, and now the name placards that say "GRAHAM" are not lit up anymore.

Parker (2013)

Audio problem: In the scene after the jewelry heist when they go back to the house, Melander is questioning Leslie as to her connection to Parker. In one shot, you can hear the sound of him grabbing her and her making a high pitched whimper, yet he is not touching her and her lips are not moving. Also, Melander says "Check the house, every inch" and "C'mon, don't you want to hit me now" at the same time.

Character mistake: In the scene at Roger Podacter's condo building, you hear the reporter mention that he allegedly leaped to his death from his own 20th story balcony. As the camera pans down, you can see the flashlights and people up on his balcony doing the investigation. This is the 2nd from the top floor. If you count the floors as the camera moves down, there are more than 20 floors to this building. The number is actually closer to 30. Even though it is difficult to get an exact count of the floors, it is still possible to tell with 100% certainty that his unit was on a floor higher than 20.

Revealing mistake: In the scene where Ace visits Woodstock's secret office at the music club, pay attention to the computer screen when Ace asks him to tap into the aquatic supply stores to track the sale of equipment for transporting a dolphin. Woodstock says, "All right, we got marine winch, sling, feeder fish, 20,000 gallon tank..." As he is saying this, the computer screen shows a bunch of non-related items (plates, cups, concrete, stone) with crazy numbers that don't make sense. It was as if someone was in a hurry to create a fake spreadsheet to use in the movie that they just pounded on the keyboard and a bunch of numbers came out. If you look through all of the items, it's actually funny how they are so varied (dog food, speakers, sneakers, soup, chairs) and have nothing to do with the story. Many of the items also repeat with different sets of numbers.

Knight & Day (2010)

Continuity mistake: In the scene after June and Roy are riding on top of the car carrier truck, the CIA Director is reviewing a security tape of the diner abduction. You can hear Roy say "Pies for everybody, everybody gets pies", however, the video on the playback monitor at that exact moment shows him shooting the booth above Rodney's head. Roy didn't mention the pies until several seconds later after he kicked the server who made a noise. You can even hear the gunshot after he says "pies for everybody", then the CIA Director pauses the tape.
