Corrected entry: When Bill is talking to Amsterdam about fear being the reason he has lived as long as he has, the camera cuts to Amsterdam and you can hear an audio clip that was added after the scene was shot.

Gangs of New York (2002)
Corrected entry: When Bill thanks Amsterdam he kisses his own hand and lays it on Amsterdam's head. Camera angle changes and his hand is now on his forehead.
Correction: There's a huge bunch of hair hanging over Amsterdam's forehead that, in the first shot, may give the false impression that Bill lays his hand on top of Amsterdam's head. If there's a difference it may be an inch or less.

Ben-Hur (1959)
Continuity mistake: Judah Ben-Hur removes the large ring he had received from Arrius and gives it to Pontius Pilate to return to Arrius. Following this, he returns to the leper colony with Esther, and he reunites with Miriam. When Judah is told Tirzah is dying, as Judah searches the cave for Tirzah, he is once again wearing the large ring he had received from Arrius, on his right index finger. Then, that ring vanishes when he finds Tirzah.

Suggested correction: Ben Hur got the ring from Arrius, not from the Emperor. When he goes to the leper colony the first time he is still wearing the ring. Later he gives the ring to Pontius Pilate to return it to Arrius. Then, when he goes to the leper colony the second time he is not wearing the ring anymore.
Aside from changing the mistake's wording to Arrius, the mistake is indeed correct. Rewatch the scenes. Judah Ben-Hur takes off the large ring he had received from Arrius and gives it to Pontius Pilate to return to Arrius. After that scene, he meets with Esther, and they both return to the leper colony. Judah speaks with Miriam, his mother, and he's told Tirzah is dying. Then, as Judah begins to search the cave for Tirzah, Judah is now wearing the large ring he had received from Arrius, on his right index finger. That ring vanishes when he finds Tirzah. The mistake is quite valid.
