Pushing Tin picture

Continuity mistake: The favorite family restaurant is "Enzo's" and that is the name in neon at the place. But during the confrontation with Nick and Mary in the car (in the rain) Nick says to never go back to "Sorento's." My guess is that they changed the name after filming the scene. (01:05:20)

eXistenZ picture

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the film we see the Seminar Leader start to write eXistenZ on the board. We see him write the letter 'e', but then the camera changes and he starts to write the letter 'X'. Notice that the letter 'e' has changed from how he originally wrote it. Then when he finishes writing eXistanZ the camera switches position again and the writing has all changed the look again. Most noticeable by the crossing of the letter 't'. As we saw him write it, then cross portion was much higher than in the wider shot.

Body Shots picture

Continuity mistake: After the fight in the alley scene, two characters start having sex on the front of a car and against a fence. When they are finished, from the back point of view, the woman has her head to the man's right side. When they are showing the opposite shot, the woman has her head to the man's left side. This happens every time they switch views. (00:47:30)

The Bone Collector picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Amelia is driving the truck full of policemen to the scene of the second (Mrs. Rubin) murder, the shot changes a couple of times before it settles looking through the front windscreen at Amelia. Through the rear windscreen of the truck, you can clearly see the highway and all the cars on it behind them. Amelia turns the steering wheel sharply to the left, and you hear the screeching rubber-tyres-on-tarmac noise as if she really had swerved left, but the scene of the highway behind them seen through the rear screen does not alter at all - as if she was just going in a straight line all the way.

Best Laid Plans picture

Continuity mistake: The whole premise of the movie is a paradox: The main character's colleague thinks the main character has inherited a fortune, and the colleague wants that money which is why he tries to frame him by making him steal some fake drug money. BUT why would the main character run that risk, agreeing to steal the drug money? If he HAD inherited a fortune, he doesn't need a risky ten thousand bucks now, does he? Surely his friend might work out something was up when his supposedly rich friend agreed to run a risk to earn a comparatively small amount?

The Story of Us picture

Continuity mistake: When Ben Jordan and Stan are walking around the fountain, they walk past a long glass railing. The white sneakers of the cameraman can be seen in the reflection on the glass. You know it's him because he stops walking when they stop and continues walking when they do.
