Continuity mistake: During the escape from Wing Kong Trading, they all jump into a pool and swim through a pipe which is not big enough for people to pass each other. Despite the fact that Margo and Jack are in the water before Gracie, she manages to come up for air before both of them.

Roman Holiday (1953)

Continuity mistake: During the scene where Gregory Peck pretends to bump into Audrey Hepburn on the Spanish Steps we see several shots of a clock in the background showing the time is around 4.55pm. When he sits down the clock is around 11:30. Then the very last time we see it, the time is 3.50pm.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Frank is pretending to be a Doctor at the bedside of the kid who has just had a bicycle accident a nurse hands him a swab. While he talking to the other Doctors the swab is visible but when the shot changes his arms are suddenly folded and we can no longer see it.

Continuity mistake: When Fogg and friends are escaping from the art gallery we see them emerging from a manhole. Look in the background and you see the same couple pass twice going in the same direction each time.

Constantine (2005)

Continuity mistake: Near the end when Constantine is on the floor with Gabriel on top of him. There is a shot from the side rotated by 90 degrees so they appear to be upright. There are several things on both Gabriel wrists which look like hospital ID tags. One of them on her left side has slipped down her wrist on to her hand. The shot switches to looking over Gabriel's shoulder and the tag is now back on her wrist and the writing has rotated. Switch back to a side shot and it's back to the original position. (01:35:50)

Continuity mistake: When Jack Burton and the rest of the gang escape from the Wing Kong Trade Centre the first time, the guards fire at the left side of the bus breaking the windows and making holes in the bodywork. When we see the bus a few seconds later as it is driving away, it appears undamaged.

Dr. No (1962)

Dr. No mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Near the end when Dr No attacks Bond up on the gantry we see two shots of the radioactivity meter where the red indicator is very close to maximum. The third time we see it just as they tumble off the gantry, it has moved much closer to the danger level. (01:40:00)

A Life Less Ordinary mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Celine is tied up playing blackjack, the position of the rope holding her varies. We see for example that the number of times the rope crosses her chest goes from three to four and back again.

Continuity mistake: When Robert finds Celine after she has been kidnapped by O'Reilly and Jackson we see several times that O'Reilly has bled from her left nostril and the blood has run down onto her bottom lip. After she gets shot, the blood stops at her top lip. (01:22:30 - 01:23:50)

Continuity mistake: When Jackson is playing cards with Celine, the arrangement of Celine's cards changes depending on the camera angle without anyone touching them.

tw_stuart

Continuity mistake: When Jackson is tying the bag to the rope, his shadow is directly behind him but in the overhead shot his shadow sticks out to the right of him and then in the next shot, his shadow has remembered to be behind him again. (00:51:50)

Continuity mistake: When Robert makes his first attempt to collect the ransom, we see that when he first gets out of the car his shadow is pointing towards the 2 o'clock position (assuming he's facing 12 o'clock). But a few steps later when the shot changes, his shadow has moved to the 11 o'clock position. (00:36:00)

Continuity mistake: Observe the position of the material Robert uses to tie Celine and her hands. In the front shot both hands are resting flat on the arms of the chair but from above we see them hanging over the end. More obviously, when Robert secures her right arm, he ties her right wrist directly to the chair but for her left arm the material is tied over the sleeve of her coat. When the shot switches to overhead, we see the bonds on both arms are tied round the sleeves of her coat. (00:19:15)

Continuity mistake: When Robert is first attacked by the security guards he grabs a gun from them and warns them off. As they back away we see two baseball caps either side of him but when the shot changes to behind him there are three baseball caps directly behind him. Also, the distance between him and the nearest guard gets bigger. (00:13:15)

Continuity mistake: When Celine's father is lecturing her we see her bag parallel to the side of her chair but when we see an overhead shot of her, the bag is at a different angle. (00:11:55)

Continuity mistake: When Robert's boss comes in to fire him, the distance between them suddenly shrinks when the shot changes. (00:05:50)

My Name is Joe (1998)

Continuity mistake: When Sarah comes in with the tea and biscuits for Joe and Shanks, the amount of ceiling that Shanks has painted changes between shots without enough time for him to have done it. (00:17:50)
