Bones picture

Continuity mistake: During one scene in the film Bones' girlfriend is looking at an old picture of her & him. You see her holding the picture and Bones turns and looks at her and she screams and she drops the picture. At the end of the movie the main character finds the picture and is looking at it. Bones once again turns his head and looks at the person. However, it's the same clip as before because you see a woman's hand with red nail polish holding the picture.

The Man Who Wasn't There picture

Other mistake: In the party scene, there's a band playing on a stage. You can hear a big band playing, with lots of horn players, but the music that is heard has absolutely nothing to do with the players, who play guitar, accordion and double bass.

Osmosis Jones picture

Continuity mistake: Look carefully at the brochure Frank has about the Buffalo Chicken Wing festival, the building pictured is the same building as his daughter's school (seen earlier in the movie).

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: While the buildings might look similar, they are different buildings. The school has 3 levels with rectangular windows with a pyramid top while the building in the brochure only has 2 levels of non-rectangular windows and more of a dome shape on top.

From Hell picture

Continuity mistake: The first time we see the young doctor doing his "lobotomy" in London Hospital (to the girl that was married to Prince Edward), Ian Holm comments on the procedure for some guest as they stand behind a glass window. You can clearly see the young doctor doing the third strike with his hammer in a reflection in the window. The movie cuts back to the young doctor and he is doing the third strike for a second time.

Buffalo Soldiers picture

Continuity mistake: Just after Knoll has been beaten up we see Elwood sitting next to him. As Elwood switches on the light, we see that the left side of Knoll's face is covered in blood. After Elwood applies the bandage, the blood on his face has changed with much less blood on the left side. The blood was never wiped off.

Kill Me Later picture

Continuity mistake: When Shaun and Charlie are running from the police, they hide behind a dumpster until a cop car goes by and then Charlie leads Shaun to a meat truck. He opens the back and lifts up the door just far enough so that Shaun can get in. In the next shot, when Charlie is getting in, the door is much higher up, about four feet higher actually, than it was a mere second ago, and there was no sound indicating that Charlie pushed it up further.
