13th Feb 2004
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Maid Marian is in the tub singing, her hair style changes as the view of her face does. For example, as she is singing straight into the camera, her curly hair hangs around her face with just a tiny bit pulled back on the sides; when the shot changes to a side view of her singing the hair has been pulled away almost completely from her face.

Friends (1994)
The One With The Cooking Class - S8-E21
Continuity mistake: The night before they go to the baby furniture store, Ross and Rachel are in the kitchen talking. Just before they leave the kitchen watch Rachel's robe: in one shot the 'lapels' are neatly one over the other, and in the next shot one lapel has moved lower and looks halfway folded over as if she hastily pulled the robe together. (00:03:15)

Easter Parade (1948)
Continuity mistake: When Nadine is doing her 'Shakin' the Blues Away' song and dance she spins a number of times and by the end of the routine her hair has become quite undone in the front. As the audience applauds she disappears behind the stage curtain for just a second then reappears to take a bow. When she reappears her hair is perfectly coiffed.

Easter Parade (1948)
Continuity mistake: When Hannah and Johnny meet and are huddling outside the restaurant waiting for the rain to stop, patrons keep exiting the eatery and banging the door into them. About the fourth time this happens the door begins to open but as the shot cuts away briefly the viewer sees the door never fully opens and no one exits the restaurant. (A bit of rough editing.)

Swimming Pool (2003)
Continuity mistake: Julie doesn't come home one night; the next day as she is getting out of the pool we see that she has been "roughed up" and has a black eye. Next to her eye there is a circular bruise/mark. That evening, as Julie and Sarah are at dinner the bruise is now under Julie's eye and is a different shape (longer and more oval in shape). (00:52:50 - 00:58:00)

Love Actually (2003)
Continuity mistake: When Jaime is in the lake helping Aurelia retrieve the book pages, in one shot a page is quite close behind his head and in the subsequent shot the page is at least a foot or two away.
30th Oct 2003
Good Boy! (2003)
Continuity mistake: When the bullies run through the backyard open house reception they are covered in whip cream in every shot except the last one.
14th Oct 2003
Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Jonah and Sam are seeing Victoria off at the airport, where does she go? During the scene other people are moving towards and around the door that Victoria seems pointed towards; however, in the shot that immediately follows her departure the doors are opened by the flight crew and passengers (including Annie) disembark. (01:04:15 - 01:05:25)
8th Oct 2003
Primal Fear (1996)
Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, as Aaron/Roy reveals his deception to Martin, notice the jail cell 'door' behind Martin. During the majority of the scene the door is closed, but in a couple of shots it is wide open.

Will & Grace (1998)
Continuity mistake: As Leo speaks with Diane (he's on the sofa; she's in a chair) she refills her wine glass until it is nearly full. In the next shot Diane takes the last sip of wine from her glass, and the following shot shows her glass nearly full again. (00:08:45)

Will & Grace (1998)
Dames At Sea - S6-E1
Continuity mistake: When Grace reads Dr. Morty's letter on Karen's boat (in the last episode of season 5) it sounds at least a few paragraphs in length. During this episode, when she holds the letter up there is only a short paragraph on the bordered side of the page, and nothing on the back side.

City Slickers (1991)
Continuity mistake: When Mitch shows Ed and Phil the coffee grinder, Ed has a smear of shaving cream on one side of his face. When Ed jumps on his horse during the cattle stampede and says 'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die.' there is shaving cream on both sides of his face.

Heaven Can Wait (1978)
Continuity mistake: As the ecology group's party is winding down, Betty and Leo walk off together and end up by the garden well. During this scene (including while Leo speaks with Betty, The Escort, and Mr. Jordan) the well is visible in almost every shot and changes from being in full sun to full and partial shade several times.
9th Sep 2003
Heaven Can Wait (1978)
Continuity mistake: Joe takes over Leo Farnsworth's body while Leo is bathing, so it makes sense for him to put on a robe and get dressed after getting out of the tub. Watch, though, as he walks over to the butler who is holding out the boxer shorts - you can see Leo is wearing the same tennis shoes Joe was wearing in previous shots. (I guess Warren Beatty didn't have time to remove the shoes between takes?)
8th Sep 2003
City Slickers (1991)
Continuity mistake: When the group buries Curly, the viewer can see a bunch of flowers stuck on the 'grave,' just a few inches away from the makeshift cross. After the group moves on and Mitch says his final goodbye to Curly, there is a brief overhead shot of the grave and the flowers are now in the center of the mound instead of by the cross.
2nd Sep 2003
Pillow Talk (1959)
Continuity mistake: When Rex is explaining his ranch's layout to Jan over dinner, he uses a coffee cup, sugar cubes, and a napkin for props. The napkin initially obscures the view of sugar cubes, but when Rex returns to the table (after speaking with Jonathan) the sugar cubes are front of the napkin and in plain sight of the viewer.
15th Jul 2003
Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)
Continuity mistake: As he leaves his house, PeeWee manually turns on his 'sprinklers' (the Water Wiggle toy) and warns his neighbour he is about to start watering the lawn. He then goes to the rear of the property to retrieve his bike. When he returns to the front yard (just a minute or so later) the sprinklers are no longer running. (00:08:05)
