Continuity mistake: When Will tells the sheriff he'll have to "respectfully decline" his execution, from one angle his hands are behind him holding onto the gallows, but from another angle they're outstretched.

Krista

Audio problem: When Wolf attacks Will before the hangings, the guards pull him off and he says "Kill him." But his mouth doesn't move.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When John is standing on the platform looking across at his trapped wife, there's a piece of the railing next to him that's sometimes on fire, sometimes not.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When the outlaws are being attacked in the forest, one man is shot by a flaming arrow in the back. But when he falls off his platform onto the ground, the arrow is suddenly in his stomach.

Krista

Continuity mistake: Guy of Gisbourne's men come upon two of Robin Hood's men in the forest, trying to pull a log onto the path. The men see their enemies and run away, leaving the log sticking out onto the path. But the log suddenly disappears when Gisbourne's men go after them, and never again reappears.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Robin is giving his inspirational speech to the people who have just fled the village, at one point Wolf walks and stands behind Will twice in a row. Then there's a reverse shot from behind Will, where Wolf should be visible, but he's nowhere to be seen. Cut back to the front view, and he's just where he should be.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When Robin is talking to the Bishop in his private chambers, they're sitting by the window. They're both lit on the side of their faces that are near the window, but for some reason in the Bishop's closeups, he has harsh white light on the other side of his face as well. Not only is there no source for this light, but in the wide shot that side of his face isn't lit.

Empire of the Sun (1987)

Question: Can anyone who speaks Japanese tell me what Jim says to the guard who's beating up the doctor? He says a few lines, then bows. The guard seems embarrassed and walks away.

Krista

Chosen answer: The first time, Jim says "Nanika no machigai desu. Bokutachi wa minna tomodachi desu yone. Senso no sei desu." This roughly translates to "There has been some sort of mistake. We are all friends aren't we? It is the war's fault." The second time, Jim only says "Nanika no machigai desu. Bokutachi wa minna..." and then gets pushed aside. "There has been a mistake, we are all...". I hope that helps.

Teen Wolf (1985)

Continuity mistake: At the very end, Pamela tells her boyfriend to drop dead and walks away, off to her right. But in the last shot where Scott is hugging his girlfriend and his dad, if you look just to the lower left of them, not only is Pamela still just standing there, but she's to the left of where she was standing before.

Empire of the Sun (1987)

Trivia: When Jim returns home after losing his parents, his nanny slaps him. The actors had practiced a fake slap and fake reaction, but Spielberg and the actress playing the nanny conspired to make the slap real when the cameras were rolling, so Christian Bale's reaction would be genuine. Therefore, Bale is really being slapped, and his shocked reaction is no act.

Two Weeks Notice (2002)

Two Weeks Notice mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Lucy is in the RV bathroom, there's a framed picture on the wall outside the bathroom door which hangs very crookedly in the closer shots, and perfectly straight in the wide shots. (01:00:15)

Two Weeks Notice (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Lucy and George are on the roof and Lucy is talking about what it was like growing up there, there are some high angle point-of-view shots of people on the street below. In these shots, the sun is shining and everyone has a dark shadow. But up on the roof, the sky is completely overcast, and there are no shadows anywhere.

Krista

Continuity mistake: When George and Marty are talking outside the diner and George opens Marty's coke bottle for him, George's hair is all stringy and hanging down in his face. But when it cuts to another angle, it's neatly combed over to one side. (01:03:10)

House of Cards (1993)

Continuity mistake: When Sally is sitting in the back of the pickup truck at the beginning, in some shots her bangs are parted in the middle, and in other shots they're combed straight down.

Troy (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Helen is standing behind Hector before he goes out the gates to fight Achilles, she's very much on his left side (he turns and looks over his left shoulder at her.) But when he starts walking out and she's seen behind him, she's suddenly on his right. (01:56:30)

Troy (2004)

Continuity mistake: When the priestess, Briseis, is standing on the beach about to return to Troy with King Priam, some of her hair is strewn across her chest. But in the next shot, it's suddenly all in place. Then a few shots later it's back across her chest again. Again later, before Briseis stabs Agamemnon, her hair is messy in the shot facing her, but in the next shot it's neat again. (02:10:40 - 02:27:40)
