Continuity mistake: Nicholas Cage is stapling the posters with his missing child (strangely enough, all the concert posters are in terrible condition even if they advertise events that happen exactly when the movie takes place). He hears his son's voice and turns around, the wind flips the poster on his hand. When he turns back to it, the poster is gone (but he still has one to attach). (00:27:00)

Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse picture

Continuity mistake: The collision with the deer shattered the windshield in front of driver Ben, but when Ben skidded to a stop, there did not appear to be any damage to the driver's side windshield. When Ben and Carter were getting out of the car and when they were changing the front passenger side tire, the passenger-side windshield was shattered (and closer to the hood compared to midway between the hood and roof on the driver's side, which was no longer there). (00:10:20 - 00:11:04)

The Blackcoat's Daughter picture

Continuity mistake: Spoiler alert: About halfway through the movie, we see Emma Roberts coming out of the shower, and the camera focuses on the gunshot wound on her shoulder, with the round scar of the entry wound on her back, and the much rougher, ragged scar of the exit wound on her front. Then at the end of the movie, where it's revealed that Kiernan Shipka and Emma Roberts were actually playing the same character, just nine years apart, Kiernan Shipka gets shot by the police officer when he finds her in the room with the severed heads. Problem is: she was facing the officer. The scars on Emma Roberts are the wrong way around. (00:31:05 - 01:15:35)
