Anyone But You picture

Continuity mistake: Right before Ben jumps off the cliff, he drinks a small cup of coffee and places it back on a saucer that Jonathan is holding. When the shot cuts, the saucer is still visible in Jonathan's hand, but the cup cannot be seen on it. The cup then reappears in the next shot.

Prom Pact picture Prom Pact mistake picture Video

Revealing mistake: Just as the first credits roll, when the cheerleaders dance, check the African American, Caucasian, and most noticeably, the Asian American people behind the team. They are blatant, creepy-looking, unrealistic CGI characters. (00:01:18)

Red, White & Royal Blue picture

Other mistake: The scene where the king has directed his aides to issue "a firm denial of these accusations" makes little sense, since Alex has already officially and firmly confirmed their relationship from the White House press room. For the palace to announce that the son of the US president is lying would create diplomatic chaos between two very close allies and would not happen. (01:42:25)

Just Jake picture

Continuity mistake: At the hair salon, front views of Amber's long, wavy hair vary, although there is an almost consistent loop of hair that extends from her right ear to her coat's collar. Rear views of Amber's head are consistently flat and do not show the loop of hair. (00:21:40 - 00:22:07)

Unexpected picture

Continuity mistake: The covered object (storage container or pet carrier?) is at an angle to and extends past Bob's desk, but is against the side of the desk when "Binky" the rabbit jumps onto it, as well as when Binky jumps from it onto the floor. (00:12:53 - 00:13:47)

Love by Design picture

Continuity mistake: Lily has 4-5 stacked pancakes on her plate, including a half-eaten one on top. After she pours syrup on the stack, there are suddenly 7-8 pancakes, arranged differently. Lily may have time to cut 1-2 pancakes into pieces, but nobody is close enough to the table to add any pancakes to account for the increase. (00:04:40 - 00:05:03)

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 picture

Continuity mistake: When Paris goes to the nude beach, right before she enters the water, there is no one in the water within a fairly wide span of beachfront on either side of her. Yet after she dips into the water and comes up quite quickly, her two aunts are swimming right in front of her, having seemingly come out of nowhere and without her noticing them before.

Sitting in Bars with Cake picture

Continuity mistake: Isaac uses his right hand to drink some water, and his hand immediately goes from holding the glass to his mouth to holding chopsticks next to his plate. (00:20:58)

A Royal in Paradise picture

Continuity mistake: In the front view of Olivia when she sits at her desk and opens her laptop, the clear LED globe lightbulb to her right is illuminated with a visible filament, but the bulb looks solid white when the camera shifts to a rear view. (01:22:22)

Suggested correction: It's still a clear bulb in the rear view, you're just seeing the white curtains behind the clear bulb.

Bishop73

Filaments should still be visible because they are darker and in front of the paler background.

KeyZOid

The filament is still visible.

Bishop73

Didn't look illuminated on my screen.

KeyZOid

It definitely is illuminated. It might be hard to tell with so much lighting already present in the scene, especially coming through the window.

Bishop73

I seriously doubt there's enough background light to make what is supposed to be a clear illuminated LED bulb several feet in front of it to fade away. (This will be my last response).

KeyZOid

Then you're talking about two completely different lamps altogether because the bulb is in front of a giant window with light coming through the thin curtain and it's inches away from the window, not feet. And it's not faded away at all.

Somebody I Used to Know picture

Continuity mistake: The bar room background changes, indicating use of a green screen. Particularly noticeable is the absence of the "BUD" sign (that was on the wall to the left of the screen) at the end of the scene. (00:33:29 - 00:35:16)

Romance in Hawaii picture

Continuity mistake: Leah pours some wine, then sets the bottle near the centre of the counter (next to the bowl). The bottle is closer to the edge, back near the centre, then towards the edge of the counter again. Leah does move her cell phone with her right hand a couple of times and holds her glass in her left, but it doesn't appear she drinks any wine and there's no sound to indicate she refills her glass or moves the wine bottle. (00:07:45 - 00:08:50)

Robots picture

Revealing mistake: More than once, when speaking to their robot doubles, it's obvious that both Charles and Elaine are actually just talking to nobody, given their mannerisms.

Poor Things picture

Visible crew/equipment: Emma Stone is let out of the carriage and runs to the left of screen across the leaves. The camera follows her. On the bottom of the frame, right side, the shadow of the camera is visible. This is the scene before the assistant shows her the frog.

Continuity mistake: Lucia's hair goes from disheveled to styled during the time it takes for Pia to say (over the phone), "You've gone almost a decade without a single, serious relationship, Lucia." Moreover, Lucia is already applying mascara. It takes longer than 5 seconds to style/fix one's long hair. (00:01:23)

A Wish for Christmas picture

Continuity mistake: Dad's fiancée places the photo album on her lap and holds the Christmas dance tickets between both hands. She has no free hands to move the album, but the album is on the coffee table. No one touches the album, but it is at a different angle on the coffee table. (00:09:28 - 00:10:10)

A Perfect Christmas Pairing picture

Continuity mistake: A fork in Grace's square bowl props against the corner that is closest to her glass of wine. Grace holds a magazine with both hands. When Grace reaches for her wine, the bowl is at a different angle and the fork is gone. (00:08:00)

Rent-a-Groom picture

Continuity mistake: While Rob is talking to Tracey at lunch, he doesn't eat any of his salad, but its arrangement and contents vary. About half of the lettuce/greens disappear and the cherry tomato on the right side (which is underneath a leaf) is suddenly exposed. A little later, there is a third cherry tomato on his plate (near the middle-top) and lettuce/greens appear on the left side of his plate. (00:54:00)

The Christmas Venue picture

Continuity mistake: Cait plays the "forehead game" and correctly guesses that she is "snow". Cait apparently removes the paper from her forehead (off-screen). The timer bell rings, and the paper is on Cait's forehead as if she does not take it off. (00:57:28 - 00:58:08)

A Christmas Vintage picture

Continuity mistake: Tony is seated at a table with a green-covered book, clipboard, and laptop in front of him. Parker stands across the table from Tony and has some papers in front of him. Parker shoves a paper across the table towards the clipboard and laptop. The camera quickly shifts to Parker, now seated at the table. The paper Parker pushes across the table is not there and Tony's laptop is closer to the clipboard. The empty wine bottles and book are in different positions. (00:03:42)
