Breach (2007)

Factual error: Early on in the movie there are boxes of new dell machines and moniters in the hallways. 3 things are wrong with this situation. First off, the design on the boxes is a newer design that was implemented in 2003, but the movie is set in 2001. Secondly, none of the monitors that you see in the office are dell monitors. 3rd, all the monitor boxes in the hallways are for flat panels (designated by the FP on the sides of the boxes), yet there are CRT monitors sitting on the desks. (I know about the box design because our company has a contract with Dell for our computers. I've personally done the ordering/config/setup since 2000).

Live Free or Die Hard mistake picture

Continuity mistake: John's face is all bloody after he rolls from the car and "kills a helicopter with a car". The blood on his face constantly changes during the shots. Sometimes there is blood all over his face, sometimes there is quite a bit less. Sometimes he has blood streaming from the cut on his nose, sometimes there is nothing on his nose. The blood changes back and forth, so it's not just him wiping the blood away from his face (and his hands are by his sides during all the shots). (00:44:35 - 00:45:30)

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: As Jigsaw is dying his bed is mostly reclined and his head is lying flat, but when you see the last shot of him you can see that the head of his bed is more elevated and he's slumped.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Jeff lays his bloodied hand right in the center of Jigsaw's chest (pointing towards Jigsaw's chin) when he says "I forgive you", but pretty much only his fingertips touch Jigsaw. Right before Jeff slices Jigsaw's neck you can see the handprint, but it's MUCH more defined than it should be AND the fingers are pointing towards the right instead of straight up. (01:42:10)

11th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda gets shot and falls next to the cart you can see that there is no blood on the cart. The next time you see her there are blood splatters all over it. Every time you see the cart there is a different design of blood on it, and at least one time there is no blood to be seen.

11th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda says "I'm standing right here" her hair is hanging down, but brushed back from her right eye, in the previous and subsequent shots her hair is hanging down and covering her right eye. She was holding the gun in her right hand the whole time and all the cuts were instant, there was no time to move her hair.

Nick Bylsma

11th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Lynn is in the corner of the room when Amanda is threatening her with the gun. The shot moves to behind Amanda when she raises her hand to her head and now all of a sudden Lynn is a good 4 or 5 feet to her right. (instant cut, not enough time to move).

Nick Bylsma

11th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Lynn says "Please, please let me go" there are tears in both eyes and tear marks on her cheeks. 2 shots later (maybe 7 seconds) you see a close-up of her face and there are no tears or tear marks. (Jigsaw was holding her hand, so she couldn't have wiped them away, plus you can see Lynn the whole time (in the background) and she never wipes them off). (01:26:10)

Nick Bylsma

10th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff leans down to Lynn you can see she she has some blood on her chin and neck. The shot goes to Jigsaw, then back to Lynn and Jeff. Now her neck and chin have no blood. Shot moves to Jigsaw again, then back to Jeff and Lynn. Now she has blood on her neck and chin *and* blood from the corner of her mouth.

Nick Bylsma

10th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Amanda's holding the gun in her right hand in every scene when she's arguing with Jigsaw, except when she's saying "It's all BS," then the gun is in her left hand. It's back in her right hand then very next scene (all instant cuts, no time to switch hands).

Nick Bylsma

10th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

10th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Amanda's hair is in a lose ponytail when she sees Jigsaw holding Lynn's hand. A large part of her hair is hanging down the right side of her face and in her eye. She storms out of the room and now all of a sudden her hair is all pulled back in a tight ponytail and no hair is hanging down or behind her ear, it's all back in the ponytail (instant cut, no time for her to re-do her hair).

Nick Bylsma

10th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: There is a smear of blood on Jeff's right temple that disappears in the shot right after he drops the saw blade. It reappears in the very next shot.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The green tube that's connected to Jigsaw is gone when he says "Suffering? You haven't seen anything yet", but it was there in the previous scene and it's back the next time you see him.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Right before Lynn says "I don't know what you know, but my marriage has survived more suffering that you could possibly imagine" her hair is all pulled back behind her ear. As she's saying that line you can now see that a noticeable amount is hanging on the side of her face and across her ear. (01:25:50)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: There's a shot of the right foot when "The Rack" starts twisting it. There is a blood trail that runs off between his first 2 toes, and a lesser one that runs off between his 2nd and 3rd toes. The screen cuts to a close-up of the foot and there's only the blood trail that runs off between the first 2 toes.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff is screaming at the guy in "The Rack" there are a few spinning shots of "The Rack". You can see that the guy's arms aren't broken, even though you've seen them both be twisted until they snapped. (Slo-mo helps but is NOT required).

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff is monologuing about how "Everyday for 3 years I wanted to kill him" there is a tear that appears in his right eye and starts to run down his cheek. The shot cuts away for a second, then back to Jeff and there is no tear, not even a wet tear trail.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: In "The Rack" room you get a shot of the box holding the shotgun and the key. When first viewed from the back the keyfob and the key are directly parallel to the front and back of the box. The scene cuts back to the guy in the rack, then back to the box. Now the key and keyfob have moved and are almost vertical to the sides (the judge hadn't started to move it yet, there's nothing to explain how or why it would have moved).

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff flips over the 3rd card he is holding it with his left hand by the left edge of the card, but when the scene (instantly) cuts away to a view of in front of Jeff you can see the he's holding it by the bottom (look at the way the card it bent).

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: In the close-up when Amanda goes to suffocate Adam with the plastic, the plastic only goes up to his forehead, yet when the scene cuts back (instant cut) the plastic is completely surrounding his entire face and head. (01:16:50)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Amanda's sweat marks and eyeliner runs constantly change shape and size (bigger, smaller, and back to bigger) during the bathroom flashback. (01:10:30)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda goes to take off Adam's boots (in the flashback) his feet are spread a good 2, 2 and a half feet apart, yet when she goes for his right boot his feet are all of a sudden less than a foot apart. (01:11:30)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The red "blood" marks on Jigsaw's left hand change several times (smaller, larger, smaller, larger again) during the bathroom flashback. (01:11:10)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The clamps on Jigsaw's head change their positions between the time Lynn says "He's stabilized" and "I need you to raise your hand and spread your fingers" The top one is most noticeable, it goes from hanging over his forehead to lying on top of his head.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The blood splatters on Lynn's face change throughout the whole brain surgery scene. The splatters go from defined, to smeared, and then back to defined again a couple different times. (01:03:15)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Lynn explains the procedure she's going to do to Jigsaw, then goes to fill the syringe. Look at the syringe when she sticks it in the bottle, the plunger part is pushed all the way to the bottom. The shot cuts to a different view and the plunger is a good inch or 2 pulled back already (she hadn't started to draw it out yet, you can see 1 or 2 inches of air). The shot cuts again, and now the plunger is at the top of the syringe again, then she starts drawing it out). (01:01:30)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: There is a far-away shot when the first pig comes out. You can see Jeff standing on the platform holding his left hand to his face, there's an instant cut to a close-up of Jeff, but now his right hand is held up to his face. (00:58:45)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: In the "pig" room the string around the tape player suddenly disappears in the middle of the tape message. Jeff's right hand never changes position and the string was tied around the middle of the player, he would have had to move his hand to get it off. (00:58:00)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Jeff sees the 3rd tape player (in the room where he finds the judge) and there's a shot of the player being held up by string. The player is hanging very level and the string is perfectly tied around the middle of it. Jeff climbs the stairs to get the player and now you can see that the player is hanging crooked and the string (where it's tied) is slanted towards the top of the player. (He didn't shake it lose or anything when he climbed the steps, the player is hanging from the ceiling).

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: John throws Matt to the floor when Matt is first being shot at. John lays on Matt to protect him and you can see that John's legs are off to Matt's left and are lying flat on the floor. The scene cuts to a view that's from behind their feet and now John's legs are no longer flat on the floor, his lower body is turned and he is lying on his right hip. (00:11:20)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: During the shootout at Matt's apartment John scrambles away from the refrigerator and pulls himself around the corner. The view is from behind John and his chest is facing the corner as he pulls himself around it. The scene jumps to a view from in front of John, yet he's somehow already turned himself around so his back is to the corner (this makes for an easier transition to using the corner as cover, but it messes up the continuity). He couldn't have done this since he was still in the process of pulling himself around the corner.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff sees the doll on the wrecked trike you can see that the doll's hand is on the trike tire, but in later shots (of the doll from the waist up) the wheel and tire and nowhere to be seen.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Jeff's body position moves when he's looking down the hall towards the wrecked trike. When the shot is in front of him his right leg is farther forward than his left and he's leaning forwards peering into the darkness, when the shot is behind him he is standing up straight and his feet are parallel.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Lynn places down the drill there are 4 pieces of a broken mirror on the table in front of her. The 2 middle ones are standing straight up, but the outer ones are at various angles of slant. The next shot (a few seconds later) all 4 pieces are standing straight up and arranged very nicely. (00:49:40)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff finds the second box (after the freezer room) he takes the card and flips it over to see the picture on the back. In the closeup his thumbs are on the bottom corners, but then the shot cuts away to a view from his left and you can see that his left thumb is at the top left corner and his right thumb is as least halfway up the card (instant cut, no time to move his hands). (00:48:30)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Lynn is telling Amanda that Jigsaw needs to have an operation Lynn is talking to Amanda with her body slanted forward and her head and chin up (in a "you're stupid, this is what we need" type of pose), but in all of the over-Lynn's-shoulder shots her head is tilted down to look at Amanda.

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: After Lynn looks for pills she runs back over and tells Amanda "Back off, back off", then takes off Jigsaw's oxygen mask and puts her hand on his face to keep his head to the side and you can see two drops of blood on her hand. The shot cuts to a closeup of Jigsaw and now there is no blood on her hand. (00:39:50)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: During Jigsaw's seizure there is a shot of Lynn when she's yelling at Amanda for help. In this shot she has several strands of hair that are across her face, but in the very next shot they are gone. She couldn't have brushed them away because her hands were on Jigsaw the whole time. (00:37:50)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff reaches up and plays with his daughter's hair some of her hair falls over/in front of her stuffed animal. The next shot of her (instant cuts) and her hair is back behind the animal. (00:31:00)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jeff comes in to his daughter's room the blanket that she has around her chin changes position from shot to shot. It goes from right next to her chin, the a few inches below it, all the way down to spread out on her bed. She doesn't change position in any of the shots, so she couldn't have pulled it off herself. (00:32:00)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: In one shot, when Kerry is in the 'Angel' trap, her right hand is on the chain. The shot cuts away to an over-her-shoulder view and her hand is off the chain. The shot cuts back to show her and her hand is back on the chain. (00:15:10)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The blood mark on Kerry's cheek changes several times. It's most easily noticeable when you first see her in the 'Angel' trap, and then a close up on her face at the 14:17 mark in the movie. (00:14:10)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Not only does the key in the acid stop bubbling, then start up again as Kerry's reaching into the jar (as mentioned in a previous mistake), but in almost every shot the key switches from bubbles to no bubbles. It also moves position from the back of the jar to the front of the jar. (00:13:15)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of Kerry watching the Jigsaw tape you can see 2 folders to her left. She fast forwards the tape a bit, the shot cuts back to her, and one folder is inside of the other. Also, all the pictures spread out in front of her change positions and placement drastically. (00:12:00)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: After the scene of Tony there is a shot of Kerry and Rigg, the detective is in the background inspecting a piece of the chain. The shot moves to the background detective for a second and he looks up at something. The shot instantly cuts back to Kerry and Rigg and the background detective is suddenly looking down at the chain again. (00:10:25)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: There is a shot when Tony (chained man) is listening to Jigsaw's message where blood drops out of his mouth and runs down his chin, but in the next close-up of Tony you can see that most of the blood has mysteriously disappeared (he still has blood on his chin, but it looks the same way that it did BEFORE he drooled blood all over the place). (00:07:30)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The blood streaks on the chained man's chest continually changes from almost covering his chest, to less noticeable. They probably tried to give the appearance of his continual bleeding, but the shots didn't make it into the movie in sequence. (00:06:25)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: In the close-up shot of Lynn removing the piece of Jigsaw's skull you can see that she's holding the instrument in her left hand (look at the position of her fingers), but in the farther away shots she has it in her right hand. (further evidenced by later in the scene where you see a close-up and she's still holding the instrument in the left hand and a knife is in her right). (01:04:30)

Nick Bylsma

4th Jul 2007

Saw III (2006)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Kerry reaches up the second time to try and get the key you can see the acid burns (a few, but not a whole lot of blood) on her hand. There is a quick cut where her hand is poised over the jar of acid and her hand has suddenly become almost entirely red and bloody. (00:06:10)

Nick Bylsma

30th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Deliberate mistake: The scenes where the left, then the right foot is being twisted are the same shot, just flipped. You can tell because the blood on the foot and the blood on the machine are in the exact same locations in both shots.

Nick Bylsma

30th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

30th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Amanda freaks out and pins Lynn to the wall after Lynn says "He doesn't even know you're there". Amanda's hand is around Lynn's neck, choking her. The screen cuts to Jigsaw very briefly (all he says is, "AMANDA!"), then back to Amanda, now Amanda's hand has moved up to being on Lynn's chin. Not only would moving her hand from Lynn's neck to her chin not serve any purpose, but the screen cuts happened too fast to allow for the hand movement. (01:14:25)

Nick Bylsma

30th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Look at Jigsaw's oxygen mask first time Lynn tells him "Look at my flashlight". The mask is next to his neck, lying flat on his shoulder. The shot cuts to Lynn for a second, then back to Jigsaw, now the mask is standing vertical and almost touching his cheek. (00:36:25)

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda dies, her left arm is outstretched and her hand lying vertically on it's left side. There is a quick cut to her body during Jigsaw's final message and you can see that her hand is lying flat on the floor, then it cuts to a close-up of her hand and it's back on its side again. (look at her watch for a reference point to her hand position).

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The red cloth (bag?) that's covering the gun changes its position DRASTICALLY between the first time you see it (then he talks to his daughter when she comes in the room) and then the second time you see it. The first time the back half of it is folded back over itself and it's almost tucked under Jeff's leg. The next time you see it it's completely spread out flat. Jeff didn't rearrange it while he talked to it daughter, it just "magically" happened. (00:33:00 - 00:33:55)

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The blood spots and streaks on the chained man's body are different in the close up shots of the chains than they are during other shots. (00:06:00)

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda tells Lynn "Let me give you the simple version" there are several hairs that are across Lynn's face, the next shot of Lynn has her hair back nice and neat. (00:27:35)

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The blood spot on Lynn's left sleeve (from when Jigsaw has a seizure) constantly changes size and shape throughout the whole movie. (00:51:40)

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Kerry is talking to Rigg and the detective she is almost directly in front of the door. When the other girl says "You won't believe this, we got the tape out clean" the camera pans around and you can see that Kerry is now in front of the chalk boards. (00:11:05)

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The knot and string position on the tape player is different during the close up of it on "The Rack" guy's chest than it is during the far away shots.

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The guy that is in chains stands up, looks around and takes in what he sees. There's a shot of him from the front and his hands are semi-clenched in FRONT of him, around waist level. The shot cuts to behind him and his hands are a good 4 or 5 inches OUTSIDE of his hips. (00:06:35)

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: While Jeff is contemplating burning his son's possessions his hair constantly changes from messed up and down, to pushed up and away from his face. One of the shots you can see Jeff put his hand to his forehead in agony, so this explains that part of the hair change, but the changes happen several times during the same scene.

Nick Bylsma

29th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Kerry is sneaking up to the door, you can see on the TV that she raises her gun up to her chest, but then the shot cuts away (instant cut) and she's still aiming the gun at the closet. (00:13:00)

Nick Bylsma

28th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When the tape player says "The key is among your son's possessions" Jeff is standing in front of the opening between the bars leading down to the ladder, and he takes a few steps towards the incinerator (his left). The screen cuts back to Jeff and you can see in the lower left-hand corner of the screen that Jeff is still standing in front of that opening between the bars. (00:56:10)

Nick Bylsma

28th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

28th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: A little bit after you first see Jeff there is a shot of Amanda looking into Jigsaw's room. Lynn is telling Jigsaw to look at her. The pillow is about three-quarters of the way down Jigsaw's head, almost down to his neck. The shot cuts to a closer view of him and now the pillow in a good 8-10 inches higher on his head, up past his ears. (00:36:20)

Nick Bylsma

28th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

28th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: After Lynn gets shot her position against the wall changes between the far away and close-up shots. (look at the poster she's leaning against for a reference point, in the far away shot her head is between the 2 legs on the left, but in the close-up her head is on the very left leg and you can easily see the right leg.).

Nick Bylsma

27th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Jigsaw gets "blood" all over the top and sides of the lid of phosphorus paint, yet there is hardly any "blood" on it when he throws it in his bag.

Nick Bylsma

27th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The blood stains (streams) on Jigsaw's chest constantly change after Jeff slices his neck. Sometimes the only blood stain is a trail that goes directly down the side of his hospital gown, other times it's halfway down his chest. The shots constantly go back and forth, so it's not just the blood flowing down his chest.

Nick Bylsma

27th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: After examining Jigsaw, Lynn tells Amanda that he needs to go to a hospital. Amanda grabs Lynn's hair and pulls Lynn towards her to yell at her. In the shots of Amanda's face you can see that their foreheads are touching, but in the shots of Lynn's face their temples are the only thing that is touching. (00:37:25)

Nick Bylsma

27th Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Jigsaw is in the process of passing out (after surgery) Lynn's hands move off the bed, back on, then off again, then back on (it wasn't just her moving them naturally, they were in the EXACT same positions each time they were back on the bed). (01:04:00)

Nick Bylsma

23rd Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Lynn first gets rolled into Jigsaw's room she has a few strands of her hair in the corner of her mouth. The strands appear and disappear during the next few shots.

Nick Bylsma

23rd Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Kerry wipes off the steamed up mirror and sees Eric in the reflection, she gasps and turns around. She looks back at the mirror and you can see that the hand wipe marks where she wiped the steam off are completely different. (00:11:45)

Nick Bylsma

23rd Jun 2007

Saw III (2006)

Revealing mistake: After Tony rips his right hand from the chain you can see that the wound doesn't go all the way down to between his fingers, it stop about 1/2 an inch from the webbing of the fingers. The only way to get the chain out oh his hand was to completely rip it out between his fingers, the wound should have gone all the way out. (somewhat difficult to see, but just look carefully [slow-mo helps, but it NOT required to see this mistake]). (00:08:40)

Nick Bylsma

5th May 2007

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie MJ is holding onto Harry's hand with both of her hands. There's a quick cut back to a view from farther away. Peter and Harry are in the same positions, but one of MJ's hands has instantly moved down around Harry's chest.

Nick Bylsma

5th May 2007

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Gwen sees Peter in the restaurant she places one hand on his shoulder. The camera cuts to Gwen's face and she has both hands clasped together in the shot. The shot cuts back out and her hand is instantly down on Peter's shoulder. It cuts back to Gwen one more time and both of her hands are back up near her face.

Nick Bylsma

20th Apr 2007

Saw (2004)

Continuity mistake: Jigsaw's thumb moves between shots after Adam gets the mini cassette recorder out of his hands. You can see Jigsaw's thumb, in the closeup shot, slide down to a position where it's lying horizontal and flat on the floor as the mini cassette recorder is being slid out of his hand. In the next shot, an overhead, you can see that his thumb has moved and is now more curled and in a more vertical position to where just the tip is touching the floor. Jigsaw isn't dead, so he could have moved, but this shot is an *instant* cut, he had no time to move.

Revealing mistake: Leonidas gets cut over his eye during his battle with the Uber Immortal. During several close-ups of Leonidas after the battle you can easily see that the "cut" below his eye is nothing more than a red line. Doesn't look anything like a cut or scratch.

We Are Marshall (2006)

Continuity mistake: Anne's hand is shaking pretty hard when she reaches out to give Paul the engagement ring back (the shot is from Paul's point of view). The camera cuts to a view from behind Anne and her hand is suddenly very still for the duration of that shot. The shot changes back 10 seconds later to be from Paul's view and Anne's hand is shaking again.

Saw III (2006)

Saw III mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The key is bubbling when it first drops in the acid, and continues bubbling throughout most of the scene. As Jigsaw's message is winding down, the bubbling dies down and stops. But it's bubbling full force again when the detective goes to put her hand in the jar. (00:13:20)

Saw III (2006)

Revealing mistake: Look at Matthews' toes as soon as he's done breaking his ankle, it's obvious that it's a fake foot. If you shine a flashlight through your toes, or fingers, it will shine most brightly through the edges of them because in the middle there's a bone to block the passage of light. The light shines right through Matthews' toes, and it's a solid color, obvious that there's nothing inside to block the passage of light. While he did break several bones in his foot to escape, it is unlikely that he took time to break his toes as there is no reason to, the shackle will slide off unbroken toes as well as broken ones. Also, even if he did break his toes, the broken pieces would still be in his foot and still block the light. It's a fake foot. (00:04:15)

Saw (2004)

Continuity mistake: Adam grabs the bat with both hands right after he sees the laughing doll in his apartment (the view is from behind him). The very next shot shows the front of him, but he has the bat in one hand, and the camera in the other. (01:07:10)

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The tear in Jeff's face (after he gets stuck to the refrigeration machine) continually changes throughout the movie. It goes from oozing and bloody, to clean and almost normal looking several different times. There's no blood on his bathrobe, so he didn't wipe it off that way. That's a big enough tear to bleed a decent amount, so we'd see the blood if he wiped it off. (00:52:35)

Nick Bylsma

19th Jan 2007

Saw III (2006)

Revealing mistake: Jeff tears a big chunk out of his face, but it never really bleeds out very much. It's pretty obvious that it's not just a layer of skin, you can see that there's a pretty big hunk of skin gone. At one point in the movie it's completely covered in blood, but only inside of the area of the tear. It should, at the very least, ooze quite a lot and drip something down his face, yet the area around the wound is always free from blood.

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Matthews is in the bathroom and gets the saw, he shines the light over and sees the severed foot on the other side of the room. He shines the light down to his foot, then he holds the flashlight in his mouth while he yanks his sock off. The next shot (which is a direct cut, you can tell by his sobs) has the flashlight suddenly on the floor and already pointing at his foot while he's stuffing the sock in his mouth to muffle his screams. (00:02:00)

19th Jan 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The glowing "X" on the bathroom wall in the first Saw movie was very symmetrical, and the whole thing was filled in very well. During the Saw III bathroom flashback scene, when Jigsaw paints the "X" it's completely different that the one that shows up in Saw. It's not symmetrical at all, and the paint doesn't go on very thick at all. You can easily still see the wall behind the paint, but in Saw, the lines of the "X" are very full with no gaps.

Nick Bylsma

19th Jan 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The placement of the flashlight (or foot) moves between shots of Detective Matthews contemplating sawing through his leg. In one shot the flashlight is illuminating the ball of his foot, in the next it's pointed past his foot, then in the next shot it's shining right on his heel. Matthews isn't moving either, he sitting right there with the saw on his leg, crying and contemplating all the pain that he's about to inflict on himself. (00:02:30)

Nick Bylsma

19th Jan 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: Watch the light when Matthews is breaking the bone so that he can slide his foot out of the lock (right after he's done smashing it with the lid). The flashlight is suppose to be on the floor next to the foot (it was in the previous shot) but the light source is moving all around as he places his hands on his foot and then breaks it. It's very noticeable as soon as the break happens, the light source moves down and to the left of the screen. The flashlight is back on the ground, next to the foot, in the very next shot. (00:02:10)

Nick Bylsma

19th Jan 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: When Matthews is smashing his foot with the toilet bowl lid, he probably hits his foot a good six or seven times, and one of the times he also glances against the flashlight and it rolls a bit to the side. The next time you see the flashlight it's pointed right back at his foot like it was in the previous shots. (He was still pounding away on his foot, so he didn't stop and realign it or anything.) (00:03:00)

Nick Bylsma

19th Jan 2007

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: There is a closeup shot of Matthew's foot right before he starts to smash it with the broken piece of the toilet bowl lid. He's placing the flashlight on the floor next to his foot and you can see that the sock is back on his foot, even though he took it off previously (right before he first attempted to saw through his leg). (00:03:20)

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: In the "Twisting Crucifix" device scene the tear on the man's face jumps from his right eye, to his left, then disappears, then reappears again throughout the shots.

Trivia: Take a look at the button the flight attendant presses when he puts the snake in the microwave. It's conveniently labelled "Snake".

We Are Marshall (2006)

Continuity mistake: The chalk marks on the football disappear between shots when the coaches are discussing how they need to simplify the offense. The coach wipes the chalk board off with his hands, the grabs the football. The chalk marks are there for a while, but then he throws the ball to the assistant coach and the chalk marks are suddenly gone.

Nick Bylsma

11th Nov 2006

Saw III (2006)

Continuity mistake: The drill that Lynn uses on Jigsaw's skull has a white piece of tape on the end of the drill bit a short distance from the end, presumably to mark the thickness of his skull so she knows where to stop. In one shot (during the drilling scene) the piece of tape moves a good two inches farther up on the drill bit, but it's back down in the very next shot. (01:04:05)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: When the group is standing outside the building where they found Jedidiah, he says that the sheriff is getting drunk. Morgan starts to say something, and his arms are by his side. The shot instantly switches to in front of him (in the middle of his sentence, so no time passes) and you can see that his arms are crossed in front of him. You can't see his hands, but you can tell by his shoulders (and the parts of his arms that you can see) that his arms are crossed. He had no time to raise his arms and cross them. (00:24:45)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: There is a shot of the girl right before she reaches into her dress and pulls out the gun. The shot is looking from her right side and you can see a lot of blood on her left leg. The shot switches to in front of her and she reaches for the gun, but there's no blood on her leg. The shot switches again, and the blood is back. This happens a few times during the scene. (00:10:00)

Clerks 2 (2006)

Continuity mistake: You can't even see inside because of all the smoke (fog) when Dante pulls up to Moobies after he went looking for Becky. But 90% of the smoke (fog) is gone as soon as he walks in the door. You can *easily* see outside the windows in the rest of the shots. There's not nearly enough time for the smoke (fog) to evaporate.

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: There is a shot of Trish's hand on Andy's shoulder and her other one in her lap when they are talking about selling his action figures on eBay. The camera switches to an over-the-shoulder shot of her and both hands are in her lap. The view switches instantly, so there's no time for her to move her hand.

Nick Bylsma

2nd Aug 2006

Clerks 2 (2006)

Continuity mistake: Becky is holding the bottle of nail polish by the sides of the lid, bottle parallel to her hand, when she first holds it out to Dante (over her shoulder shot). The next shot is from in front of her and she's holding it by the very top of the lid, hand above the bottle. It's a quick shot change and she doesn't have enough time to re-position her grip, yet she does, and she didn't just rotate her hand, her fingers move a good inch up the side of the lid.

Nick Bylsma

Clerks 2 (2006)

Factual error: Dante's last day seems to be in the fall season, judging by the amount of leaves on the road when he and Randal drive back from the Go-Karts. One of the last scenes is of all four of them outside the just re-opened Quick Stop and you can see that Becky is very much pregnant (at least 5 months) but the season is still the same (look at the trees). There should be snow on the ground in NJ at that time (Jan-Feb), or at least it would be cold enough to wear a coat and see your breath.

29th Jul 2006

Miami Vice (2006)

Audio problem: In the scene inside the bar where Isabella is telling Crockett what happened to her mother (during the over-her-shoulder shot), her mouth doesn't match what we hear her saying.

Nick Bylsma

23rd Jul 2006

Clerks 2 (2006)

Continuity mistake: Becky's bra strap and shirt strap gap in the front and meet in the back during the scene where she's asking Dante if he's afraid to get married (most easily viewed during the over-her-shoulder shots). The straps align and are on top of each other when she leans forward when Dante tells her that he can't dance. All subsequent over-her-shoulder shots still have the straps in the same position as before she leaned forward.

Nick Bylsma

Trivia: The game that Will Turner plays with Davy Jones with the dice is a genuine game called Liar's Dice, a gambling game where each player has to make consecutively higher bids based upon how many of each die they claim are on the table (two threes, four fives, etc), until a player is called a liar, in which case all the dice are shown and it's seen if the bid is correct.

Nick Bylsma

Trivia: In the beginning of the movie, the 2 pirates that fish out Jack Sparrow's hat from the sea are speaking Turkish. The one who fishes the hat out of the sea says, "It's a hat. Now I am a captain." Then they start arguing, "It is my hat," "No, it is my hat."

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest mistake picture

Revealing mistake: On the beach during the sword fight after the chest is found, in one overhead shot it shows the three men are casting shadows in different directions, revealing the presence of on-set lighting. (01:43:50)

Nick Bylsma

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When William is talking to Cutler Beckett after being arrested, a fishing ship is seen out on the ocean, not moving. In the next shot, the ship has disappeared. (00:10:20)

Nick Bylsma

Other mistake: The brothers executed the "Fag Man" by crossing their guns and the bullets coming out of opposing eyes. You can see when they show the flashback of the execution that the guns are held at nowhere near enough of an angle for the bullets to cross and come out the eyes.

Nick Bylsma

18th Jul 2006

Bad Boys II (2003)

Audio problem: The sound is off when Marcus and Mike are in the video store talking about "The Box". It's most visible during the over the shoulder shot of Mike miming putting the word "flaccid" in the box. Mike's mouth is CLEARLY not in sync with the words that you hear. (00:56:35)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: When they bring coffee to the brothers in the police station, one of the guys holds up the tray and there are three cups visible. The brothers take two and walk away. The next shot is from in front of the brothers, where you can see, over their shoulder, that there is no one holding up the coffee tray. The next shot is of the group again, and the tray is back to being held up.

Doom (2005)

Other mistake: The chaingun was actually a heavily dressed up Browning Browning Model 1919 machine gun with a fake rotating barrel cluster surrounding the real firing barrel - in several firing scenes a careful eye will notice the barrels are not even rotating.

Nick Bylsma

Other mistake: The first time the Kraken attacks the ship, he breaks it clean in 2. One of the guys is right next to the tentacle when it breaks the ship, yet he is launched up into the air. If he was next to the break he would be pulled down into the water, the only way he'd be launched would be if he were at the opposite end of the boat. (01:32:50)

Nick Bylsma

Continuity mistake: Right after the monkey knocks Jack's hat off, there is a shot of the monkey on the rigging. The moonlight is shining on him, but he looks completely normal. Shouldn't he be cursed? It's not dawn, the next shot is a time lapse, as evidenced by the fact that the Pearl had moved far enough away from Jack's hat that the other ship didn't see it. (00:17:05)

Revealing mistake: When the Operative is reviewing Mal's file, Mal's first name is initially spelled as "Malcom", in the next shot that has been corrected to "Malcolm".

Continuity mistake: When Ammer tells Michael that he hasn't yet got the promotion, he's wearing his glasses. Just before Michael 'pauses' him to smack him around, his glasses disappear without him taking them off.

Continuity mistake: During breakfast with Donna and Janine, the cereal on Michael's spoon disappears, the spoon changes angles, and then the cereal reappears again.

Stay (2005)

Continuity mistake: In the chess room Henry knocks over the table while he is arguing with Sam (after Leon leaves), in the very next shot the table is back standing up with the chess board and pieces still on it.

Nick Bylsma

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: It's intentional since it's all just a remake of Henry Letham's mind, like a dream, while he is dying.

3rd Jul 2006

The Island (2005)

Continuity mistake: When the mother is being poisoned shortly after giving birth, we see a toe tag on her right big toe; in the next shot, the toe tag has moved to her left foot.

3rd Jul 2006

Serenity (2005)

Continuity mistake: In the very last scene when River and the Captain are flying the ship, Mal presses a button causing it to light up. In the next shot the light is off, and in the next shot it is back on again.

The Island (2005)

Question: The 2 Lincolns are fighting in the car while trying to outrun the copter. 6 Echo keeps biting Lincoln, and at one point Lincoln says "What's with all the biting?" But that line in not on the DVD. Anyone know why? That was one of my favorite lines in the movie, and it's not on the DVD, I was disappointed.

Nick Bylsma

Chosen answer: Sometimes after the film is released the editors take out things to either help the film or take out mistakes.
