Shortkut - The Con Is On picture

Continuity mistake: In a "movie inside the movie" moment, Arshad Warsi is on the witness stand. In the wide shot the hand he had on the book is held up gesticulating, and at the end of the shot he has his hat in both hands, while it is under his armpit in the shots from the front. (00:12:55)

Extract picture

Continuity mistake: When Joel and Dean sit at the booth to talk, Dean places two beers on the table such that the labels are facing the camera. As they talk and the camera switches back and forth between the two friends, Dean's beer switches orientation showing the label in some shots and not in others, despite the fact that he does not touch the bottle whatsoever. There isn't enough time between shots to allow him to move the bottle or drink any as the bottle remains full.

It falls and appears to be scraped and turned in a different direction on his plate by the end of the conversation.

Wake picture

Factual error: At 01:29:08 we see Carys lying despondent on the couch in her living room surrounded by balled up tissues, empty food containers/soda cans and trash - all the signs of going through a bad break up. She gets up to answer the door for her mom, who has brought by a plate of cookies. Carys sits on the couch again, looks down, looks up, and by 1:29:40 the entire room is clean; we see her mom fluffing a pillow. There is no way her mom could have cleaned the living room in less than 32 seconds.

Continuity mistake: When Billy and Bolger are driving down the road after the funeral, they are on a 2-lane road, with nothing but grass and trees on either side. But when the shot changes so they're facing the camera, it's a 4-lane road with a lot more traffic. Then the road becomes much bigger with a median.
