The History of Time Travel (2014)
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: I've changed my mind about this entry. I realise now that these seeming errors are actually intentional, albeit hamfisted, visual manifestations of the changing timeline. I personally think this is a silly way to portray the changing of history due to time travel and the butterfly effect, but who am I to argue with how a fictional construct that seems to defy logic would play out. I'd remove my original entry but I don't see any mechanism to do that.

Absence of Malice (1981)
Continuity mistake: When Gallagher (Paul Newman) stops at the traffic light and gets out and runs back to cops that are tailing him, he passes a Triumph TR7 convertible that has stopped behind his car. A large man is driving that Triumph. When the camera angle changes as Gallagher runs back to his car, the Triumph is empty - you can see its full, unobstructed windshield. (00:47:00)
