Continuity mistake: In the garage shooting John uses a white car for cover. This car is parked a bit diagonally, thus providing cover because McFee is attacking from the front. After the shooting the car is parked straight and closer to the wall. (00:30:45)

Witness (1985)

Continuity mistake: When John puts up Rachel and Samuel with his sisters they are shown to their bedroom. The sister goes down the stairs and says a few words to John before he leaves. When she comes back Rachel and Samuel have already changed into their nightgowns - not at all enough time for that. (00:21:15)

Continuity mistake: During the car accident Miss Daisy is wearing a beige dress. Later she looks out of the window at the towing activities and is wearing a red dress. When Boolie argues with her about her driving she is wearing a green dress. This is happening within too short a time to explain all this unnecessary changing. (00:03:35)

Continuity mistake: On their first tour Miss Daisy shops at a place called Piggly Wiggly. When Hoke looks through the window into the shop you see the reflection of a street sign saying Wiggly (with a W) although in all other shots there is no street sign outside. (00:24:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy talks to Boolie about Hoke's alleged theft you see bright daylight outside, also in the scene before when Boolie has breakfast. In all shots taken outside Miss Daisy's home it is dark and foggy. (00:31:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: While Miss Daisy is waiting for Hoke to drive her to Mobile she looks impatiently at her watch which shows 10:50. A few shots later she looks at a wall clock which shows 6:57 which is also in line with the plot. (00:45:30)

Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy is packing for her trip to Mobile there is a blouse hanging over the suitcase lid while she is looking out of the window. When she comes back from the window the blouse is gone. (00:45:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the incident with the police on their way to Mobile there is a panorama shot of the cruising car with no Miss Daisy on the back seat. (00:53:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the reversing accident the car goes down a nearly vertical slope, but all close-up shots taken through the front window show that the car's position is still nearly horizontal. That's why Miss Daisy can get out without any problem, and that's why, after she has left the car, it falls down the same slope again. (00:01:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the reversing accident Miss Daisy is shown sitting in the car with some twigs in front of her face. While she was reversing the windows were closed, and they didn't break during the accident. (00:01:35)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Miss Daisy reverses the car down into the neighbor's garden, she hits the same flower pot twice. (00:01:30)

Life as a House (2001)

Continuity mistake: When George is crushing the models at his former workplace the secretary asks him to see his boss. He reaches out for the model he wants to keep. In the next shot you see that he isn't picking up the model at the side he was reaching for. (00:16:20)

Continuity mistake: When Jack and Zack look through the window into Luigi's Tin Top there is an empty table between the dinner table and the window. In the following shot inside the house the empty table and chairs are in a different place, closer to the wall. In the next morning they are in the original position again. (01:27:35)

Down by Law (1986)

Continuity mistake: While Jack, Zack, and Bob paddle through the swamps they change places. This is hardly possible considering the shape and the shakiness of the boat and Bob's lack of swimming skills, plus there is no reason to take such a risk. (01:13:00)

Down by Law (1986)

Continuity mistake: When Zack and Jack walk from the place where the boat sank their shirts are perfectly OK. During the next rest they start fighting, and you can see that both their shirts are torn badly before the fight even begins. (01:17:10)
