Continuity mistake: When Matt and Freya are in the car chase, the driver's side of Matt's car is badly damaged. After escaping their pursuers, they drive off (in the same car) and return to Copenhagen. When Matt pulls into town, the side of the car is intact again.

Continuity mistake: Another one from the beginning of the film when Conan's mother is killed. Conan's mother is holding a sword, protecting her son. Thulsa Doom climbs down from his horse, takes off his helmet, and casts some kind of spell on her with his eyes. She lowers her sword and Doom slowly turns away, then spins quickly and cuts off her head. When the camera cuts to a longer shot, we see that Doom is about 15 feet away from her, much too far to reach her with a 3 foot sword.

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Conan's mother is killed, we see her using both hands to hold her sword toward Thulsa Doom and his men. The camera cuts to young Conan and he is holding her right hand. When the camera cuts back to her, she is holding the sword with both hands again.

Suggested correction: It's not an inmediate shot, there's plenty of time in between for her to change the grip.

The Thing (1982)

The Thing mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the crew is outside and they're going to lock Blair in the tool shed, you can see someone nailing wood across the window on the front of the shed. The pieces of wood are horizontal. In the next shot (inside the shed), if you look at the window in the background, the strips of wood are vertical. When Mac goes back outside, the wood is horizontal again.

No Escape (1994)

Continuity mistake: When the good guys take over the helicopter at the end of the movie, they kill several of the guards and overpower the rest. They force the warden off the chopper, then take off without him. They also leave behind King, who has been a traitor to the group and killed one of them. First of all, when they take off without King, he seems surprised that they don't take him along. Secondly, when the 'copter flies away, we see King and the warden standing alone in the clearing. What happened to the half-dozen or so guards?

Godsend (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Adam gets out of the bathtub and sees the curtain get pulled down by invisible hands, watch where the curtain falls. Most of it falls onto the floor, with just enough hanging on the edge so that the front of the tub is draped with it. The camera cuts to Adam for a second, and when the camera goes back to the tub, the curtain is covering the entire tub.

Die Another Day (2002)

Die Another Day mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Q brings out the flatcar with the invisible car on it, the flatcar appears empty. Q explains how the invisibility is achieved, and he walks behind the car. We see Q's legs distort cartoonishly as he does so. Why doesn't this distortion take place when the car is moving out of the tunnel? (01:03:15)

Die Another Day (2002)

Continuity mistake: During the first lovemaking scene between Bond and Jinx, you see her open a knife and cut a piece of fruit. In a close-up (when you can see her whole face) you can see her eating the fruit. The camera cuts to a side view of both characters and you see Jinx put the fruit up to James' mouth so he can have some too. But when the camera cuts back to Jinx, she's still eating the fruit.

Continuity mistake: When Quatermain realizes that Skinner is in his room (on the Nautilus), he puts out the lamp and the room goes black. We hear a scuffle and then the door opens and lights the room and we see Quatermain throwing the invisible Skinner out the door. But when Quatermain shuts the door, the room does not go dark again. (00:39:50)

Hellboy (2004)

Continuity mistake: After Hellboy falls on the dumpster and sees Rasputin walking toward him, there is a smear of blood on HB's lower lip. It cuts away for a second to show him pick up his gun, and when you see Hellboy again, the blood is gone.

Hellboy (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Kronen cuts open the statue in the museum, he in only holding one of his swords. The guards come rushing in and Ilsa says, "get them." Kronen turns and is now holding both of his swords.

Eurotrip (2004)

Continuity mistake: When the gang first arrives at the Vatican (as soon as the "map" shows them travel across the table to Italy), there is a very quick shot of them walking down an alley. Scotty says "there it is" and they walk toward a door with a sign above it (in English, for some reason) that says "Summer at Sea". The shot then changes and they are walking up to the Vatican guards. I guess there was supposed to be a scene where they went to the Summer at Sea office to find "Mike" but it was deleted. It wouldn't make sense, since they knew she was going to the Vatican anyway.
