Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: During the car chase, there are a few moments where the background we see outside of the car windows doesn't quite match the background we see outside when we get wideshots of the cars driving. It usually matches, but there's 2 or 3 moments where it doesn't scatter throughout the scene.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When the two actors playing the "kidnappers " (who are part of the actual "game") break in and realise Ron the "FBI agent" was punched, pay attention. Between shots, the actors playing the "kidnappers" go from practically being shoulder-to-shoulder to suddenly being about 4 feet apart between cuts. (It happens when the one actor lifts off his mask).

Continuity mistake: When Ryan is explaining fight clubs, Annie starts to munch on a carrot. Right before the shot cuts, about half the carrot is sticking out of her mouth, and she's holding it with both hands. Instantly between cuts, she's eaten almost the entire carrot and is only holding it with one hand.

Child's Play 3 (1991)

Trivia: The CEO is played by Peter Haskell. Before writing "Child's Play," creator Don Mancini had briefly worked on the soap opera "Search for Tomorrow" as an assistant, which Haskell co-starred in. Mancini said Haskell was one of the only cast members who was nice to him, so he recommended him for the CEO in "Child's Play 2." When he was writing "Child's Play 3," he again included the character, and gave him a memorable death as a twisted "thank you" to Haskell for being nice to him years prior.

Child's Play 3 (1991)

Trivia: When Andy and De Silva arrive at the fair, there's a brief moment where a father, mother and three girls are on-camera. (The father just won one of his girls a stuffed toy.) This is a cameo by series producer David Kirschner and his family. He players the father, his wife plays the mother, and the three daughters are their actual real-life daughters. Kirschner has said he hates doing cameos, but director Jack Bender talked him into it by including his whole family.

Continuity mistake: At Brooks' house, when Sarah makes a joke about Ryan believing in "everything he reads", she goes from smiling to pouting instantly between cuts.

Chucky (2021)

Trivia: "Child's Play 3" director Jack Bender ran into showrunner/Chucky creator Don Mancini while the show was in production. Bender asked Mancini how much more realistic Chucky would be, given 30 years had passed since his movie. Mancini shocked Bender by explaining that fans had made it clear they loved Chucky's classic simple, jerky movements since they were inherently more doll-like, and didn't want him to "evolve" too much. So they purposely used simple effects so he wouldn't be "too realistic."

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Max and Annie are kissing and talking about having kids on the plane, the way they are holding each other changes instantly between shots a few times. (Ex. In some shots, Max's hands are on Annie's shoulders, while in other shots, he's holding her face, etc).

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Gary is explaining that he set up the kidnapping, throughout the scene, the directions the various characters are facing and the positions they are standing in change repeatedly between shots depending on the angle.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: The two streaks of "blood" coming out of Gary's mouth change size and position repeatedly throughout the remainder of the scene after he is "shot" by the kidnappers. (Sometimes the streaks are thinner... sometimes thicker... sometimes close together... sometimes further apart... etc. It depends on the camera angle).

Game Night (2018)

Revealing mistake: When Max and Annie are driving the car towards the Bulgarian's plane, there are a few exterior shot of the car, and you can blatantly tell that "Annie" is a stunt performer in a bad wig. Her head and especially hair look MASSIVE in these shots, compared to how small her head and hair usually are. (It's especially noticeable in the shot that's following the car from behind).

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Annie points to the bridge and says "There it is! Fourth street!" her arm is lifted and pointing to the window. The scene then cuts to Kevin, and you can see in the background that Annie's arm has instantly gone down between cuts.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: After Sarah and Ryan have their awkward moment in the back of the car, it cuts to Max and then Kevin. Sarah is in the background of both shots. In the shot of Max, we see her brushing her hair with her hand and then lowering her hand into her lap. Then, when it cuts to Kevin, suddenly Sarah is brushing her hair with her hand again, and puts it back down a second time. The cuts are instant, so there's no time for her to have lifted her hand back up between edits.

Game Night (2018)

Revealing mistake: Throughout the single shot chase (which was actually multiple takes edited together), during a few moments, you can subtly see where the different takes were stitched together. Ex. When Michelle first gets the egg and runs through the doorway, you can subtly see the white door-frame to the left of her "warp/shrink" a little bit for about a half-second. There is also a few moments where the shots don't quite transition perfectly and you'll get a light "wobble." It's VERY subtle but noticeable.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Kevin and Michelle are searching the bedroom and Kevin starts grilling Michelle on the "celebrity" she slept with, Michelle goes from facing the bedside table to facing Kevin instantly between cuts.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Donald Anderton is giving water to his fighter and calls the next fighter in, the amount and pattern of the blood on his fighter's chest changes at least twice between shots. (First his chest is covered in blood... then almost completely clean... then partially covered in blood).

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: In the car, Ryan says the kidnapper sounds like a "monster" and Sarah explains that he's using a voice-change. During this exchange, Sarah goes from looking forward, to looking sideways at Ryan, then back to looking forward instantly between cuts.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: The T-shirt max uses to clean the blood of Bastian is COMPLETELY covered in blood... until he unfolds it and sees the picture on it, at which point suddenly about 60% of the blood suddenly vanishes from it. It's still bloody... but nowhere NEAR as blood as it was a few seconds prior. (They obviously switched out the shirts between takes).
