A Haunting in Venice picture

Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver on the bench, the same people keep passing by them over and over.

She walks behind them in the next shot; seconds later, she says "Then afterwards" in another close-up, and the woman reappears in the same position as the first time.

80 for Brady picture

Continuity mistake: The way the potato chips are arranged in the bowl (diagonally rising towards the right of the screen, with one chip protruding upward near the middle) changes with a camera shift (to no chip sticking up in the centre and other chips angled more towards the left of the screen). Nobody shifted the bowl 180° to account for the difference. A little later, the chips are in a mound (nobody is eating any), followed by being level to the edges of the bowl. (00:01:25)
