Collateral (2004)

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning, just after Max puts the photograph on the visa, the shot cuts to Max's boss holding a Coke with his right hand and the other hand is down by his side, but in the following shot he has his hands crossed in front of him. (00:02:35)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: After Sam's phone call to his dad, when Jack holds his wife with both hands at her cheekbones the position of her hair changes from under his hands to over, between shots. (00:56:20)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: Just after Jack comes out of the New Delhi conference, he is talking with Terry Rapson. At the right of the screen at the stand, there is a guy with a red hat/turban and scarf and no other people behind him with turbans. However, in Terry's close-up the man wearing the red turban has vanished and there are a lot more people in the background wearing turbans. (00:08:05)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When Sam, Laura and the black student enter J.D.'s hotel room, Laura asks, "You live here?" and J.D. looks at Laura then puts his coat down, but in the next shot his back is to her and is putting his coat down again. (00:40:50)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: Near the start, when it cuts to a street in Japan, a large hailstone hits the policeman's car. When it hits, the wipers just brush it away and keep working, but in the following shot when the policeman looks back at his vehicle, the hailstone is still there and the wipers are no longer working. (00:10:45)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When all the people are in the library sheltering from the cold, in the overhead shot of the guard (the one who told the homeless guy he can't enter the library with a dog), he is in front of Laura and then walks to his right with clothing/blankets in his hand, but in the next shot he is behind Laura and the black cop. (00:58:40)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the Hedland Center, when Dennis wakes up Simon from snoring, in the background Simon lifts himself up from the chair, but in the next shot he is already at the coffee machine. (00:09:20)

Daylight (1996)

Continuity mistake: When we see Madelyne for the first time, she is in her apartment and gets a drink. She then goes to sit down next to her computer, she switches on her lamp and puts something down on the table. In the following shot it looks like she reaches for something with her right arm over her computer, but this was not seen in the previous shot. (00:05:10)

Daylight (1996)

Continuity mistake: At the start, when all the main characters enter the tunnel Madelyne is in her car, and her window is open, but in the next shot from inside the window is closed. (00:13:45)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the Zurich sanction when Jonathan kicks the killer out of the window, in one shot when he crashes to the floor there is a tile right in front of his face leaning against something, but in the close up the tile vanishes (it didn't fall). (00:21:30)

Frequency (2000)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film when Frank is pushing John and he runs off into the house, after Frank's little conversation with his wife, he takes out a cigarette and is looking down towards the floor. In the following shot he is looking straight ahead. (00:09:30)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: Just after Jonathan has finished talking with Miles on the sunbed, Jonathan walks over to the big guy at the bar. In one shot the guy in the red top is sitting away from the bar, but in the following shot he is facing the bar. (00:55:30)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, during the Zurich sanction, Jonathan puts the red bag down on top of some books. When the killer is trying to stab Jonathan, in the shot of the book shelf the positions of the books and red bag has changed dramatically. (00:20:35 - 00:21:10)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Jonathan walks into his office in the school he finds Pope sitting at his desk. In the first few shots, there is a chair directly behind Pope, but in following shots the chair is behind to the right of him (this has nothing to do with camera angles). (00:08:40)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, the guy who is Jonathan's friend is in his hotel room, and when he hears a noise it cuts to the bad guy in his place. There is a brown bag hanging on the wall, but in all following shots the bag isn't there. It can't be on the floor because at the start of the fight they go to that wall where the bag was, so they should have knocked it off. (00:05:15)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: At the Zurich sanction when Jonathan kicks the killer out of the window, just before he kicks him, look at the window. This window has two panes of glass that open outward, with the latch in the middle, but a view from the outside shows that it's a single window with one pane of glass in it, not big enough for two panes. (00:21:20)

Exit Wounds (2001)

Continuity mistake: At the start of the bridge scene, there is a shot of the bridge and the street in the background with loads of people standing on both sides of the street (and cars as well), but when the camera cuts to a shot of the yellow lorry (truck) pulling onto the bridge, everything that we saw in the previous shot has gone. (00:03:05)

Hulk (2003)

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film when the Hulk gets up on the cliff side to look at the choppers hovering by him, if you look where he is standing there is a small round rock behind him in this shot, but in all other shots that rock has vanished. (01:38:45)

The-Immortal

Continuity mistake: When Brian pulls up in his red pick-up truck, note the distance from his truck to the car in front, this distance is is reduced somewhat when you look in the background in all following shots. (00:04:00)

Exit Wounds (2001)

Deliberate mistake: When Boyd has saved the Vice President's life after chucking him into the water, Boyd looks down at the VP who is being dragged out. Suddenly, there is a picture taken that appears in papers, but there was no press or person on the bridge where Boyd is with a camera, so where did the photograph come from? (00:06:55)
