Kickboxer (1989)

Continuity mistake: When Kurt goes grocery shopping for Xian, some kids splash him with water from the pump. During the entire rest of the scene, the water marks on his shirt keep changing size and shape, and grow quite considerably from the first small sprinkle. In addition, the back of his shirt is completely dry when he goes up to the store, but when the fight breaks out, almost all of his back is wet, and these stains also change shape from one moment to the next.

Fool's Errand

Continuity mistake: In Chapter 28, "Homecoming", Fitz falls asleep while drinking wine in his bath. When Chade enters and startles him awake, Fitz is still holding the neck of the wine bottle, which Chade catches before Fitz upends it. This means his hand with the bottle was outside of the tub. But only a page later, Fitz mentions that both his hands are wrinkled from being immersed in water for so long.

The Long Walk

Continuity mistake: Ray Garraty is 16 when he participates in The Long Walk, and it is also mentioned in Chapter 1 that his father had taken him to see a Long Walk when he was ten. However, in Chapter 7, he thinks about how his father had been taken away eleven years ago, never to be seen again. So when did Garraty's father disappear? Five years ago or eleven years ago?

Later, when she kicks Jack on the stairs of her house, she is wearing stiletto heels again.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When Anne and Hans are out skiing in the woods, Evert goes past them and falls down a small slope. In the following conversation, whenever the camera is on Evert he is lying at the bottom of the slope, and you can see the ground all around him for a couple of meters. The others are then too far away to be seen. However, when Evert stands up he is suddenly much closer to Anne and Hans, in fact he is right next to them.

Back to the first angle, and he is once again looking at Heather with his head turned.
