Let Me In picture

Continuity mistake: When Abby slaughters the bullies, we see most of the scene from Owen's underwater point of view. First, a decapitated head floats down, leaving a trail of blood. Then, more dismembered bodies splash into the water. We get the sense that the pool water around Owen should be pretty bloody. Yet, when he surfaces, the water around him is completely clear, with no evidence of any blood or bodies.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole picture

Continuity mistake: In the final battle scene after the Band reaches the canyons and are on a cliff overlooking the Guardians, you can obviously see that Twilight doesn't have his lute. After focusing on Soren struggling to remove the pot of tar, we see Twilight flying with Digger and Gylfie, but with his lute. Impossible to be so fast. (01:11:55)

Death Race 2 picture

Continuity mistake: In the first scene with Lucas in the race car, a curly also wants to get in it, but he is smashed to the ground by the driver who puts a brake.

Undisputed III: Redemption picture

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the movie, after Boyka gets out of the car with the briefcase, Turbo gets out after him and has a conversation. When Turbo goes back to the car, you see Boyka standing on the side of the road. There is only that one road in all the shots. In the next close up shot of the car door closing, and the car moving, we see the car getting out on to the road from a small by-lane (of sorts)! Where did this road come from? How did the car move places?

Death and Cremation picture

Continuity mistake: In the classroom, Jarod leaves with Detective Fairchild's business card in his right hand and accidentally (maybe deliberately) left the "Death and Cremation" book on the floor. Courtney picks up Jarod's book, apparently with the intent to give it to him the next time she saw him. Later, Courtney is reading the book and finds Detective Fairchild's business card between pages (like a bookmark). If this was meant to be the one the detective gave to Jarod, it can't be. (00:50:41 - 01:01:05)

Continuity mistake: In the beginning, when Billy is talking to the bum (who later turns out to be Tawny), the bum has a glove on his right hand. When he reaches his right hand out to Billy and Billy gives him a subway token, there is no glove. It's back in the next shot.

Somewhere picture

Continuity mistake: At the end of the film, Johnny is shown driving onto the freeway northbound from Hollywood, then shows him in Calabasas, and then Thousand Oaks. That route takes him in a westbound direction, however, the section of freeway he's on in Calabasas is going eastbound (not westbound like he should be). Next, in Thousand Oaks, he's properly going westbound again.

The Stranger picture

Continuity mistake: Throughout the motorcycle/police car chase they used two different motorcycles made 50+ years apart and just painted them both black. One is a 1940s Harley Davidson with a springer front end and the very recognizable horn below the headlight, and the other is a late 1990s (at the oldest) cruiser with a front end that's completely different in every way.
