Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Captain America: The Winter Soldier mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Just after Nick has escaped the "cops" before being chased by them again, Nick tells the car AI to initiate vertical takeoff and the shot then cuts to an angle of Nick from the side. On one side of the windscreen are bullet marks from where the gunmen had fired, and no sign of any bullet marks on the other side. The shot cuts to then show Nick shifting over to the driver's seat and by the next shot, there are suddenly bullet marks all around the windscreen and they are much bigger. (00:28:35)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Just before the Winter Soldier ambushes Steve, Romanoff, Sam and Sitwell in the car, Steve suggests they use Sitwell to bypass the DNA scans and access the Hellicarriers directly. Sitwell then says it is a terrible idea and Steve slightly turns his head to the mirror in the centre of the car, then in the next shot, his head is suddenly turned to Sitwell. (01:13:25)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: After Steve and Romanoff dodge the grenade the terrorist throws at them. Romanoff is shown to be lying against some knocked out blinds that are closed in. In the next shot the blinds are suddenly closed out and her head is now only lying against half of them - the other half of her head is shown lying against the wall. Steve's facial expression also differs between shots, and Romanoff's head moves position. (00:12:45)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Romanoff states to Steve a missile is headed for them, she is shown holding her phone with four of her fingers placed around the phone and her thumb placed on the phone's screen. Then in a close-up all four of her fingers and her thumb are now completely placed around the phone. Then back to having four of her fingers around the phone and her thumb on the phone's screen. (01:03:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Steve approaches his apartment door, his neighbour Kate finishes a conversation with her aunt on the phone. She then puts the phone in the basket containing all of her laundry. The phone is first shown to be a few inches away from the box of washing powder, then it moves a little bit closer to the box, then a few shots later, the phone moves even closer to the box. (00:32:20)

Continuity mistake: When Steve and Romanoff are at the camp site, they enter an office. As they enter, the door is mostly open, but closed by a few inches. In the next shot, just as they discover the portraits, the door is fully open. (00:57:40)

Continuity mistake: When Romanoff kicks Agent Sitwell off the rooftop, Sam flies him back on to the roof. After Sitwell lands, he is shown rolling around on the floor and stops with his legs both stretched out. The next shot shows a wide angle of Sam landing back on the roof in his Falcon wings, and Agent Sitwell, still visible in shot, no longer has his legs stretched out. (01:11:55)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Fury and Pierce are talking before the retinal scanner they are beside each other but in the next shot they are several feet apart.

Continuity mistake: During the beginning of the scene where Steve is ambushed in the elevator, one of the Shield agents is seen removing his shield from his back and placing it to the side. We then see someone hit the emergency stop button for the elevator, after which it cuts back to a wide shot where we see a different agent remove his shield again. (00:47:55)

Continuity mistake: When Romanov swings under the bridge to escape the Winter Soldier, she sees his position by his shadow, indicating that the sun is behind them. The shadows from pedestrians and vehicles in the shot are pointing the other way. (01:18:43)

Factual error: During the Nick Fury chase scene that takes place in D.C., several black and white state highway 6 signs are visible. These signs are unique to Ohio. Route 6 goes straight through downtown Cleveland where the scene was filmed. Plus during other chase scenes several Cleveland landmarks are visible in the background. (00:28:30)
