Evita (1996)

Continuity mistake: In the flashback of Evita on the train, in the wide shot she has her hand up on the side of the window. Then it cuts to the closeup, and she puts her hand up again.

Braveheart (1995)

Continuity mistake: After Murron's funeral, Wallace kneels before her father, who at first makes a fist, then places his hand flat on Wallace's head. His palm is down, fingers outstretched. But when it cuts to the wide shot, he's suddenly gripping Wallace's hair in his fist.

The Missing (2003)

Continuity mistake: This is actually in a deleted scene on the DVD: Jones shoots a mountain lion at night, and it's seen to be completely dark out. The two other men go out to look at it, but when they're walking across the snow, the sky is suddenly pale blue and there's light just below the horizon. It looks like it's just before dawn or just after sunset. But when they reach the dead mountain lion, the sky is suddenly black again, and it looks like it's the middle of the night.

The Missing (2003)

Continuity mistake: After Lily is rescued, Dot sits next to her and tells her that her hair is a mess. Lily's hair is hanging down in her face, but in the next shot it's suddenly pushed back behind her ears.

Jaws (1975)

Continuity mistake: On the Fourth of July, Sean (the youngest Brody kid) is wearing a white t-shirt with orange around the collar, and green shorts. But after Michael goes into shock and Sean is seen crying, he's suddenly wearing darker shorts and a plain white shirt with no orange. Later at the hospital, he has his orange and white shirt and green shorts on again. (01:01:55)

Darkness Falls (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Kyle, Kaitlyn, and Michael are going down in the elevator, the floor-indicator light switches from three to two. Then ten seconds pass, the elevator jams, and the light is still showing floor two. Pretty pokey elevator that takes more than ten seconds to move from floor to floor.

A Mighty Wind (2003)

A Mighty Wind (2003)

Continuity mistake: In addition to the son of the dead guy's stuff jumping from disorganized to organized and back again, at the beginning his pen is seen sitting diagonally on top of his paper. But when he goes to organize it, he slides it onto the paper from the left, meaning it suddenly jumped onto the desk. There's also what appears to be a coin purse in a box which goes from disorganized to organized and back again, even though he never touches it.

What about Bob? (1991)

Continuity mistake: When Leo starts coughing, we see Anna start to get up and go to her right, meaning that she'll pass behind her mother's chair. It then cuts to Siggy for literally a fraction of a second, then to the mother. But Anna is never seen in frame behind her mother at any time.

Murder by Numbers (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Cassie and her partner are at her house, she offers him a cookie, then puts the bag on the table. Sometimes the front of the bag is facing outwards and sometimes the back, although no one touches it. (00:40:30)

The Lion King (1994)

Continuity mistake: When Scar is circling Ed the hyena during or just before singing "Be Prepared," from the front Ed's tongue is hanging out. But from the side/back view, where the tongue should still be visible, it's gone.

American Splendor (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Harvey and Robert are eating in the diner, Harvey passes Robert the ketchup. He picks it up from the top, but when it cuts to another angle he's holding it from the side.

Tremors (1990)

Continuity mistake: When the snakeoid is chasing Val and Earl after they lose their horses, they run along a fence and the monster causes all the fence posts to fall over backwards. But shortly after, all the fence posts are seen to be upright, although some are tilted a little to the right.

Suggested correction: We only see 4 fence posts fall over in total. Considering there are probably 50+ fence posts there, I don't see how this can be an error.

Tremors (1990)

Continuity mistake: The green fuzzy dice in the guys' truck change over and over. Sometimes they're stuck up behind the rear view mirror, sometimes they're hanging down. Granted, they could fall and the guys could stick them back up again, but in one scene when they're behind the mirror, the faces of the dice that are visible from the front change.

The Mummy (1999)

Continuity mistake: When the blonde bad guy is walking towards the open window with his gun, the plants near the window, and even the ones against the back wall, are blowing in the wind, but the plants and trees outside are perfectly still.

La Bamba (1987)

Continuity mistake: When Ritchie is driving, it shows the speedometer at 80 mph, but in the wider shot he's obviously going much slower. You can tell by how fast the lines on the street are going past.

La Bamba (1987)
