R.I.P.D. (2013)

Continuity mistake: When the two sphere halves are coming together, and they generate a slow motion field in the R.I.P.D. building, everything is moving at extreme slow motion. Except the ceiling fans, they seem to be working just fine.

Hollow Man (2000)

Other mistake: How does Sebastian breathe? He has a full head latex mask which covers his nostrils and doesn't have holes cut out. Many times during the film he has his mouth closed for long periods and has no way of getting air! He even eats a Twinkie without breathing.

Deadlock

Continuity mistake: When the Beardo's kids are pushing the cleaning cart at the motel, it hits his green VW van leaving a scratch / dent. In the wider shot, the cart has disappeared, even though it had practically stopped next to the van.

The Peanuts Movie (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Snoopy is on top of his doghouse finishing the last page of his story on the typewriter, the page is already high out of the platen with the last of the words much nearer to the top of the sheet than they should be.

Better Call Saul (2015)

Inflatable - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When Kim has finished her interview she goes to the roof car park and lights a cigarette whilst the camera shows the street with parked cars. When she reaches into her purse to tear up the WM business card two of the vehicles have disappeared - a white car and a van which had its hazards flashing. All happens in under 8 seconds. In the same scene, when she unlocks her car it is in a bright patch of sunshine, in the close up it's all in shade. (00:37:20)

Zathura (2005)

Revealing mistake: When Walter, Danny and the astronaut are in the kitchen breaking stuff to burn, the smaller boy tries to smash an old style broom on the table. He tries three times, on his final try the shank breaks in half, revealing where it had been sawn nearly all the way through in nice clean line, with only a splintery piece showing where it really snapped.

The World's End (2013)

Continuity mistake: When in the first pub and it turns out one guy is tee-total and will only drink water, there is a shot of the glass from the inside as the pint of water is drunk down to the bottom. In the next shot, from the side of the table, the glass has some in - around 1/3 full.

The Terminator (1984)

Revealing mistake: When the Terminator goes into the Alamo Gun Store scene of the famous "Uzi 9 millimeter" quote, the man turns to get something off the shelf, and Arnold takes a shell out of the box on the counter. It is an already fired shell - you can tell by the dimple in the center of the primer.

Deadlock

Continuity mistake: At the start of the movie Biff is waxing George's car in the driveway with his truck parked next to it. However it completely disappears and isn't seen again even though Doc appears and parks where Biff's truck was, and Biff doesn't leave the premises.

Deadlock

Revealing mistake: When Reggie and Tim the sheriff's son are in the funeral home and get confronted by the two black women, the silver ball comes to attack and kills one of the women. Tim saves the day with a revolver, but when he spins the cylinder before firing, you can see all of the cartridges in the gun have already been fired: dimples in the centre of each casing.

Spider-Man (2002)

Revealing mistake: When the car jacker who stole Uncle Ben's car is being chased by the police, they seem to be doing a high speed pursuit. However when the car goes over the corner and demolishes a stand, a cut shows the inside of the car. The digital speedometer is reading 15-17 mph, hardly much of a challenge for the police to catch.

Deadlock

Continuity mistake: When Marty is on Strickland's porch with the shotgun pointed at him, his hands go from in the air to down by his waist in a split second.

Deadlock

Other mistake: Ferris wants to skip school and who can blame him? In the boring lesson early in the movie, supposedly at the start of the day, look at the student's watches. They all read 6.25. (00:11:10)
