Visible crew/equipment: While Nicholas is speaking with Madeline, she's summoned back to her father. Then, Madeline is told that he didn't stir even when tapped. Just as Madeline kneels in front of her deceased father, an actor's green tape mark is visible on the rug. (01:49:55)

Ben-Hur (1959)
Visible crew/equipment: During the chariot race, just as Judah (stunt double) flips over in his chariot in the wide shot, a low angle camera is visible on the track under a canopy, at the right side of the screen.

Ben-Hur (1959)
Continuity mistake: During the chariot race, Judah's chariot has a decorative front metal rail, and in some shots there is a plump curved cushion attached to the rail, on its inner side. It repeatedly disappears and reappears throughout the scene.

Black Sunday (1977)
Continuity mistake: Near the end, while Kabakov is atop the blimp, he finally attaches the cable hook to the blimp. Just as he wraps the canvas strap around the hook, Kabakov's white shirt is neatly tucked into his pants, whereas in the previous and following shots, his white shirt is fluttering in the wind and we can see his abdomen and back. (02:18:55)

Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998)
Trivia: While Mr. Freeze is at Shaugnessy's, when Shaka smacks Dick across the room, he ends up flat on his back, and in the close-up when Dick raises his head, the buttons on his vest switch sides momentarily. Then the buttons revert back (noted in trivia because it's better when clicked through slowly). (00:24:25)

Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998)
Continuity mistake: While Batman and Robin are at Arbagast's home, the phone rings so Robin gives Arbagast the handset. When they realise it's Belson on the line, in a closeup Robin clicks the machine base to record the conversation. The problem is that in this closeup the handset is still in its base, even though Arbagast is still holding it talking to Belson. (00:42:45)

Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998)
Continuity mistake: On the burning oil rig, when Robin and Barbara pull Mr. Freeze out from underneath the rubble, Barbara is missing her shoe and blue sock in this shot. (00:54:20)
2nd Apr 2024
Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998)
Other mistake: While the fire on the oil rig burns all around, Mr. Freeze grabs Belson, then orders him to go find Barbara (to do the transplant). When it cuts to a closeup of Freeze, the reflections of Belson on Freeze's eyeglass lenses are not reversed as they should be. (00:53:00)

Back to the Future (1985)
Continuity mistake: While Marty is at Lou's Cafe, Biff and his gang enter. When Biff starts bullying George, note George's haircut with shaved sides, back (above his neck), and sideburns. In the following shots, George's haircut with its shaved areas change length. This happens again, when George is with Marty and then tries to ask Lorraine to the dance. (00:39:00)

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Continuity mistake: At the start, when Marty and Jennifer kiss, Marty turns toward his parents standing at the door. The screen door has three lower sections, and the house numbers are black. When Doc says, "Where we're going we don't need roads," it then cuts to Biff rushing out the door. Now, in this shot the changes include a screen door with four lower sections, stone wall differs, the house numbers are bright white, and a light fixture directly over the house numbers. (00:01:05 - 00:02:20)

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Doc tells Marty, "Don't do anything, don't interact with anyone, and try not to look at anything," note Doc's red shirt design. Then it cuts to a shot of Marty as he says, "I don't get it, I thought you said this had something to do with my kids." The next shot facing Doc, as he says, "Look what happens to your son," his red shirt's design has changed, though it's the same style shirt. The same thing occurs with Doc's yellow shirt with the train design, but it's more subtle. (00:09:25)

Back to the Future Part II (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Old Biff drives into the garage with Young Biff in the passenger seat, Young Biff (body double) is not wearing a belt, but the belt reappears when they exit the car and Old Biff places the Sports Almanac in Young Biff's back pocket. Also, the Levi's small red tab is now missing from that pocket. (01:07:55 - 01:10:05)

The Outer Limits (1963)
Continuity mistake: In part 1 and part 2, the character that Donald Harron portrays is noted as "Art Harris" in the opening credits of both episodes. The problem occurs during part 2, where the character is repeatedly referred to as "Ray" Harris, the FBS Deputy Director. (00:05:15 - 00:05:50)
24th Oct 2023
The Outer Limits (1963)
Visible crew/equipment: At the start, when Ballard and Harris walk into apartment 17 to wait for Minns, just as Ballard is introduced to the others, the shadow of the boom mic drops down on the door, at the right side of the screen. (00:01:10)

Speed (1994)
Visible crew/equipment: On the train, Jack hears Mac saying the track isn't finished, then Jack becomes aware of the broken emergency stop button. When Jack walks back over to Annie and tells her they have to jump, we can see the reflection of the standing camera operator on the right door's window, and the reflection of a crouching crew member (possibly boom operator) on the left door's window. Definitely crew given they're meant to be alone on the train. (01:45:55)
5th Oct 2023
Flipper (1964)
Deliberate mistake: After Bud overhears the plans for Flipper, he decides to hide his dolphin. When he boards the skiff, there are two flipped wide shots before they head out. Note the reversed dock, launch, and "Whaler" on the skiff.
