Freedom Fighters: The Ray picture

Continuity mistake: Overgirl kills Dollman by blowing a huge hole through his chest with her laser vision, and he falls back behind the other Freedom Fighters. They turn to look at her which would put him directly behind them. As Overgirl is hovering down and confronting them it cuts to a shot of them from in front, and Dollman's body has vanished from behind them. (00:08:45)

Indian Horse picture

Continuity mistake: When Saul and "Nookmis" (his grandmother Naomi) leave on the canoe, there are several blankets/rolls of food between them. The pile reaches to about Saul's waist in the canoe. When Saul and Naomi continue their canoe trip the following morning, the pile of blankets/rolls between them is higher (almost to Saul's shoulders) and the colors/sizes look different (larger, even though they obviously ate some food). (00:11:37 - 00:12:09)

Small Town Crime picture

Other mistake: The private investigator has a full size Glock. The Glock 21 which is a .45 ACP has the lowest magazine capacity of 13 rounds. The 9mm capacity for the Glock 17 is 17 rounds. The PI exchanges gun fire and after he fires 7 rounds, his gun runs dry. Makes no sense to bring a half empty gun to a fight, plus he just got it back from his brother-in-law. (01:05:00 - 01:06:00)

During the scene, in close-up (when the client asks to talk to her boss) her hair is all the way back behind her shoulders, but she has loose hair all over her blazer's collar in the remaining shots. (00:01:40)

Pitch Perfect 3 picture

Audio problem: During Beca's performance of Freedom, she is singing with Cynthia Rose. During the little chorus pre-verse (before they put their hands in the middle), you can hear Beca's voice singing the lyrics but Anna Kendrick's microphone is nowhere near her mouth. Her lips don't even match it.
