She never put on any socks or pulled out the tissue.

Combustion picture

Continuity mistake: Ari during the break from the party begins her seductive scheme; posing as a waitress at this guy's own engagement party, she approaches him while he is -for some reason - in the parking lot, makes him smoke a joint for the first time in front of his car, and kisses him - apparently all of this is super easy, barely an inconvenience. When she touches his face, she lowers her fingers from the chin at least 3 times in separate shots when she is whispering things to him. (00:11:50)

The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone picture

Continuity mistake: When Billy pulled the medallion out of the ground, part of the cloth covering it was hanging past his hand, but when he blew dirt off the cloth, the cloth was compactly covering the medallion. Also, the cloth should have had more than some loose dirt on it and the medallion - after buried in the ground for 200 years - should have been dirty and tarnished, not clean. (A cloth covering the medallion would not protect it from soaking rains). (00:23:35)
