Uncovered (1994)

Audio problem: When Julia and the gypsy are breaking into the castle, Lola opens the window and says "Max is that you?" The only problem is her lips aren't moving when she says it. (01:31:35)

Sniper (1993)

Continuity mistake: The site where Berenger put the marker down by the river and the site where the mercenary picked up the marker don't look the same (different rock pile, different tree, different barbed wire configuration, etc.). (00:56:35 - 00:57:55)

Sniper (1993)

Sniper (1993)

Continuity mistake: When the Surgeon is torturing Beckett, Beckett's arms are about shoulder width apart tied to the bamboo. A couple scenes later, his arms are tied further apart. This makes it really odd because the Surgeon was cutting his finger, which is about a foot away from where he stands up. (01:28:25 - 01:29:35)

Big Fish (2003)

Continuity mistake: When playing football, Edward vaults over the guy stepping on his back. In the far off shot looking at the pile there is someone in front of the guy he vaults off of. When it does a close up of him there's no one in front of him so he ends up eating grass. (00:20:25)

Sniper (1993)

Continuity mistake: When Zane walks into the cantina and asks for a game of pool, the guy has just broke the rack with most of the balls staying where they were. The next shot shows all the balls being closer to the side rail than they were. (00:22:05)

Sniper (1993)

Other mistake: Berenger probably took a toe or two off when he stabbed the guys foot, but he moved around just fine afterwards. (01:13:40)

Big Fish (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Jenny is getting Edward's shoes when he is in Specter, it shows a shot of the poet, with one hand above the table and one below (and he's not rocking). Then it immediately cuts to a shot of him rocking with both hands holding a cup of coffee. (00:32:40)

Big Fish (2003)

Continuity mistake: After the poet grabs his poem back from Edward he has the book folded in half and starts to sit down. When it shows a close-up of him sitting the book isn't folded in half. (00:34:30)

Sniper (1993)

Audio problem: When Zane is coming in on the chopper, another soldier gives him a bottle and says, "Take a swig." The guys lips are still moving even though he's already said the line. (00:19:30)

Sniper (1993)

Continuity mistake: When Zane is coming in by chopper, the soldier gets shot up and Zane takes out his weapon to shoot. The blood on his finger changes from the wide shot of him and the weapon and the close-up shot of his finger on the trigger. (00:20:50)

Sniper (1993)

Continuity mistake: When the pilot is shot, blood shoots onto the window in the upper right part of the screen (where the glass and the metal meet). Later, the blood is squarely in the middle of the window. (00:19:55)

Sniper (1993)

Continuity mistake: After the fight with Zane about ending the mission, Berenger puts a marker down on the ground. Later the mercenary sniper picks up the marker, but it's a different marker than Berenger put down. (00:56:45 - 00:58:05)

The Recruit (2003)

Continuity mistake: When the boys are playing cards, Burke comes in and you can see that there are a bunch of chips and the deck of cards on the table. The camera angle changes and so do the chips. The cards suddenly jump into Clayton's hands as well. (00:29:55)

The Recruit (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Burke circles CIA on the newspaper at the bar, the newspaper is folded in half and positioned so Clayton can read it. A scene later the newspaper is not folded in half and it's positioned so Burke can read it. (00:06:45)

The Recruit (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Clayton is being recruited Burke grabs a newspaper to circle CIA. The previous scene had only the front page, but when he circles CIA there is a part of the torn paper on the bar as well. (00:06:40)
