Lethal Weapon (1987)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the meeting between the General and Mendez, Mendez steps backwards and bumps into one of the General's men. He turns around and makes some jerky moves with both arms. The camera cuts to the General, and we see Mendez in the background colliding with the other guy once again in exactly the same way as before. (00:24:25)

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Continuity mistake: During the staged drug deal the items on the table move around. Check for example the little bag with the sample and the can in front of Riggs when he takes his wallet out. (00:11:30)

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Continuity mistake: The wet patches on the sleeve of Nick's T-shirt change when the family surprises Murtaugh in the bathtub. Actually, when they carried the B-day cake in, the T-shirt should have been dry in the first place as the water battle started only later. (00:04:55)

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Continuity mistake: In the last shot before Amanda crashes on the car, the red car in front is parked in a different angle than when she is lying on the roof. (00:03:55)

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Continuity mistake: Before Amanda jumps she climbs up some steps onto the railing without holding on to anything. However, in none of the earlier shots (or later when Murtaugh searches the room) there isn't anything on the balcony that could have served that purpose. (00:03:30)

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Continuity mistake: The Christmas illumination on the balcony of Amanda Hunsaker's hotel room is arranged in three different ways: In the first shot, before she takes drugs, it is attached to the side of the railing. When she steps out, the lights are hanging about 10 inches below the railing, like they are later when Murtaugh searches her room. And when she climbs up to jump the bulbs are directly hanging down from the railing. (00:02:40)

Thelma and Louise (1991)

Continuity mistake: When Thelma and Louise are chased by the police across the dusty plains there's a aerial shot from behind where the ground is covered with tracks. When the camera changes to a closer angle from the front, the tracks are gone. (01:53:40)

Thelma and Louise (1991)

Continuity mistake: When Thelma and Louise lock up the policeman in the trunk they shoot two air holes in the lid. Later the policeman sticks his finger through a hole to point out to the bicyclist where Louise had thrown the keys (surprisingly he could tell from the rather feeble sound what that sound was and where the keys had landed), and the rim of the hole shows that the bullet was shot from inside. (01:50:20)

Thelma and Louise (1991)

Continuity mistake: When Poirot and the others get ferried to the island the pile of luggage at the bow is arranged differently when they arrive. (00:15:30)

The Piano (1993)

Continuity mistake: The rope that pulls Ada down is much longer than the one that ties her shoe to the piano when it's sitting on the ground. (00:48:10)

The Piano (1993)

Continuity mistake: Before the piano gets thrown overboard Ada holds her hand into the water. In close up the water is perfectly still while in all wider shots it's quite choppy. (01:46:30)

The Piano (1993)

Continuity mistake: When Stewart has a heated argument with a group of Maoris over some land deal, a guy with two feathers in his hair appears in front of him between shots. (01:06:10)

The Piano (1993)

Continuity mistake: During one of the piano lessons, Baines tries to force Ada to lie on the bed next to him. When she tries to leave, he holds her back, pulls her blouse down about the shoulders, and it tears in the back. When she gets up later, the blouse is whole again. (00:52:05)

The Piano (1993)

Continuity mistake: When Baines has his first 'piano lesson' Flora asks to be allowed in. Ada declines, and when she goes back in the house her playing starts immediately when she closes the door, way before she could have walked to the piano and sat down. (00:40:40)

The Piano (1993)

Continuity mistake: When Baines takes Ada and Flora to the shore, the girl builds a large and beautifully decorated seashell seahorse on the sand. To do this, she had to work from all around, but on one side the sand is pristine (and the sea is too far to have straightened it out). (00:23:25)
