Druids (2001)

Continuity mistake: When the young Vercingétorix arrives at Gergovia and tells his uncle that he is returning the horse, the blankets on the horse's back change position between shots. (00:04:00)

Druids (2001)

Revealing mistake: When Vercingétorix leaves the Romans to go to Gergovia there is a stone mason by the road carving what is probably a distance marker. The man's chisel is obviously not in contact with the stone - while he is banging it with the hammer it is waving around in the air. (00:17:00)

Druids (2001)

Continuity mistake: When we see Caesar, in the town of Bibracte, asking why the archdruid has not been found, in some shots his robe is on his shoulder and in other shots it is not. (00:19:20)

Druids (2001)

Audio problem: When Vercingétorix tells Caesar that Alexander the Great was dead by the time he was Caesar's age, his mouth movements don't match the words. In this shot he is, I think, speaking French with the English dubbed over - he looks like he is saying 'mort'. (00:24:50)

Druids (2001)

Druids (2001)

Other mistake: One of the shots of the aftermath of the battle is played in reverse - e.g. the smoke from the fires is going down. (01:41:20)

Split Second (1992)

Revealing mistake: The opening text describing how London is badly flooded because of heavy rains and global warming is accompanied by an aerial shot of the city. From the level of the Thames it is clear that this wasn't even filmed at high tide, let alone during a flood. (00:00:45)

Split Second (1992)

Continuity mistake: After the first murder in the nightclub when Durkin and the other policeman are on the boat, talking about Stone, their position on the river keeps changing. In some shots they have passed Parliament and Westminster bridge and in others they are still approaching them. (00:11:00)

Split Second (1992)

Continuity mistake: When Stone, Durkin and the chief policeman are discussing the killer and Stone's arsenal, the cigar box on the desk closes and moves between shots. (00:14:00 - 00:16:20)

Split Second (1992)

Continuity mistake: When Stone leaves the building he lives in, there is writing on the wall saying which way to go for each floor. When the killer enters the building, the wall is blank. (00:37:00 - 00:41:40)

Split Second (1992)

Continuity mistake: When Michelle takes one of the chocolates that are in the shape of a heart, she takes one from near the top. When the killer enters the flat, it is a chocolate from near the bottom that is missing. (00:40:15 - 00:42:50)

Split Second (1992)

Factual error: The radio at the beginning of film says that the flood problem will increase with the approaching full moon. Later it is revealed that the killer only kills when there is a new moon. Since he kills that evening, and tides are highest with full and new moons, the radio should have been warning about that evening's tide, not the high tide in 2 weeks time. (00:04:00 - 00:43:30)

Split Second (1992)

Continuity mistake: When Stone sees the little girl outside his flat, after the murder there, his face is very wet from the rain. He turns around and it is now totally dry. (00:49:10)
