Avenging Angelo (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Frankie leaves the restaurant to deal with the policewoman who is just writing a parking ticket it is raining and everyone on the sidewalk is carrying an umbrella, but when the camera angle changes there is not a single umbrella to be seen. And a moment later, after Angelo has been shot, even the sun is shining. (00:08:40)

Avenging Angelo (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Jennifer climbs through the sunroof of the SUV trying to get a better look at the plane where her son is in, in close-up she is stepping on her husband's shoulder and face, but seen through the windshield her feet are in his lap. (00:04:25)

Basic (2003)

Continuity mistake: After Col. Styles has been shot and Osborne has been interrogated while she is already sitting in the Humvee Hardy comes over and talks to her. When the camera is on him the rain maker does a pretty bad job by either pouring a lot of water over him or hardly anything at all, alternately. (01:21:20)

Basic (2003)

Continuity mistake: When Hardy and Osborne argue about their beliefs and motives, at some point Osborne tells Hardy her phone number. Hardy's arms are hanging down, but when the camera angle changes he is holding on to a beam above his head. (00:46:10)

Continuity mistake: In the last scene of the movie Eleanor leaves by boat to go back to her castle prison. When we see Henry waving good-bye he is standing right next to a post when we see him from the back, but this post is nowhere when he is shown from the water. (02:08:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Eleanor comes to free Henry's sons from the dungeon, the officer who is accompanying her stabs the guard in the throat. When he pulls the dagger out there's blood only on one side and nothing on the straw when the guard is kicked across the floor. (01:53:20)

Factual error: Eleanor uses a paisley-shaped mirror. The paisley pattern comes from India and is designed after the mango, therefore unknown in the England of 1138, centuries before the British set foot on the subcontinent. (01:04:40)

NancyFelix

Other mistake: The German subtitles translate Brittany as Britannien (Britain), not as Bretagne. (01:04:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Eleanor talks to herself in the mirror before Geoffrey enters, the Katherine-Hepburn wave in her hair is different when her reflection is shown. (00:59:45)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: When Eleanor comes across the Thames there is no other boat around, however, in a shot from the side you see the bow wave of the boat with the camera crew. (00:17:15)

NancyFelix

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie Geoffrey organises an ambush on a group of infantrymen marching on a pristine beach. When the second group of horsemen attacks there are already tracks in the sand, obviously from previous takes. (00:08:55)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Miles and Wrigley break into Miles house at some point they spray pepper spray into each others' faces and seem to suffer a lot. However, seconds later, when Miles talks to Wheezy Joe, his eyes aren't even reddish. (01:25:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Rex suffers the heart attack he falls on the bed with his right hand close to his crotch. When the camera angle changes his right arm is stretched out. (01:20:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Marylin and Miles decide not to have dinner at Las Vegas we see them going up in the elevator. Here Marylin's parting has moved from the middle to the side, and the fold in Miles' tie knot has gone. (01:02:30)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Marilyn and Howard come to see Miles her hair changes back and forth between hanging straight and tucked behind her ear. (00:48:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: During the Gutman trial the flag behind the witness stand keeps changing (either showing part of an inscription or not).

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Donovan arrives at home he parks his Jaguar behind Ollie's van, but when he takes pictures of his wife and Ollie before they drive away, the Jaguar is parked more or less parallel at a distance to the van. (00:01:35 - 00:05:20)
