Continuity mistake: During the first scene of the movie with the robot android, when Austin's been blown up by the explosion, his glasses change from broken to perfect between shots.

Sacha

Revealing mistake: When Dr. Evil is on the Jerry Springer show, he jumps to punch the Klanman and misses by far, but still the punch sound is heard. This happens again seconds after in another punch. He misses but the sound is heard.

Finding Nemo (2003)

Deliberate mistake: Sydney's real harbour skyline has some neon signs on top of buildings. In the movie all them are omitted, presumably for advertising and aesthetic purposes.

Sacha

Factual error: When Bitsey enters the prison for the first time, the sign reads in Spanish "Cierre la puerta fuerta." It is misspelled, it should read "fuerte." The word "fuerta" doesn't exist.

Sacha

Other mistake: In the scene with the swimming pool full of mud and the kids playing on it, the sign on the entrance is supposed to be in Spanish, but most of the words are misspelled and no sentences make sense.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Edward eats at Kim's house for the first time his lips have makeup only on the middle, to make his mouth look smaller. On further shots throughout the movie his lips are fully painted and his mouth looks normal size.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film, the Avon lady is at a customer's door. In back shots a piece of her hair on the right is loose and looking messy. On front shots it's straight.

Hard Target (1993)

Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the movie, Van Damme shoots one of the bad guys and makes him rocket backwards. You can easily see the pole that pulls him.

The Ladykillers (2004)

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Munson hands Professor G.H. Dorr a flute. At the end of that scene there are two shots. Close up shot: the flute's holes look up; immediately after: Wide Shot and the holes face sideways towards Dorr.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Continuity mistake: Young Forrest is about to step in the bus. He says to the bus driver, "My name's Forrest, Forrest Gump." That moment we have a back view of the bus driver's head and she exhales a big puff of smoke. A split second after we cut back to a front view of her and there's no smoke, instead she immediately exhales the smoke again.

Forrest Gump (1994)

Continuity mistake: The first time that Forrest runs across the football field, a front view of the coach's head shows him following Forrest without moving his head, coach just moves his eyes. But a back view of the coach's head shows the head moving, following Forrest's movement. Back to the front view and the head is still. (00:20:30)

Sacha

Factual error: During the closing credits, two songs appear misspelled: "Hace un ano": The correct spelling is "Hace un año" - okay, not all keyboards have the Spanish "ñ" - , and Meleguena. This one is waaaay wrong: The correct spelling is Malagueña.

Charlie's Angels (2000)

Continuity mistake: When the Angels are driving in the tunnel, before they make a U turn they stop the car and cause a terrible traffic jam behind them. When the car has turned around, camera changes angles and the lane that was jammed with cars is now completely empty. (01:06:30)

Down With Love (2003)

Visible crew/equipment: When the book becomes a bestseller we see several shots of bookstores around the world. Watch the Chinese bookstore's glass. In the left hand corner you can see the reflection of metal tubes from the camera and the props.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: At the "bed time story" scene, the granddaughter of older Kim is covered all the way to her neck. A couple of shots after, she's suddenly covered just below her chest.

Sacha

Audio problem: The producer sings along Simon and Garfunkel's "The boxer", but changes the lines "Just a come on from the w*ores on 7th. avenue" to "just a come on from those gals on 7th avenue". I'm sure the Coen Bros. did it deliberately. And strangely enough, when the song is played during the final credits it's the original text. (00:01:15 - 01:34:50)

The Net (1995)

Factual error: When Angela Bennet comes out of the hospital, the Mexican hotel clerk checks the computer and tells her she's checked out and therefore has no room to sleep in. Although set in Mexico, the message on screen says "Ha salida". This translates to a jibberish "She exit door". The correct translation is "Ha salido". "She exited" or "She left".

Sacha

Continuity mistake: When Lansbury and Dr. Brown finish dancing, there's a wide shot of Lansbury giving a very small step forward to finish the dance. A second later, in a closer shot of her face, she moves as if she was repeating that very same movement.

Bedknobs And Broomsticks mistake picture

Continuity mistake: One of Mr. Browne's apples falls on the gravy when he is juggling, splashing his face and shirt. Later his shirt is spotless.

Sacha

Deliberate mistake: During Lansbury and Dr. Brown's dance scene under the water, the drawings behind them (with couples of fishes sitting on their seats) are a still drawing, no animation at all.
