A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, protesters chase Harold through downtown traffic until he dives into his friend Todd's vehicle; whereupon the protesters urinate on Todd's windshield and splatter fecal matter across his driver's side window. For several scenes thereafter, the fecal splatter repeatedly changes shape, orientation and quantity on the side window, actually gaining mass in some shots.

Trespass picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the "You deserve to die" scene between Ben Mendelsohn and Nicole Kidman in the kitchen, the cork on the counter (its bottom) is facing left. She then faces the knife racks, and the cork is facing right. Goes back as it was when the camera angle is the same as before. Same for her left bang; gone, long to the breasts, gone. (00:32:40)

Silent House picture

Continuity mistake: After Sarah finds her father in the bedroom and goes downstairs to get help, the blood pattern on her shirt/upper breasts changes. While the movie is edited to look like one continuous shot, it was filmed in bits and pieces, and the blood pattern was not consistent in some of the shots, it seems.

Continuity mistake: Dr. Mario Tirelli at the beginning of the movie enters the clinic where he works. A blonde woman walks in the opposite direction and exits through the door as Tirelli briefly hails a nurse. At the cut, Tirelli is in the same spot as before (nothing changes in the background) but the blonde is back and with still a way to go before the door, and the nurse is far back too, with the doctor's hand not moving to greet her, in a different take entirely.
