The Incredibles (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Bob Parr goes to his boss' office to be told off, you can see the door in the background is closed. Bob gets up and walks toward the door which he has now supposedly opened. You never see it physically come into shot, but when Bob is told to close the door, the shot hasn't changed but you can now see the door in shot being closed, which means the door suddenly opened itself. The framing of the shot never changes, therefore we should have seen the door in shot.

The Naked Gun (1988)

Continuity mistake: Van Ryberg shoots a grenade, which goes in at an angle from the right of the screen to the left and hits the robot on its right side. Van Ryberg fires another grenade, and this time the grenade travels from the left side of the screen to the right hitting the left side of the robot. The problem is, Van Ryberg didn't move and shot both grenades from the same place, it would be physically impossible for him have hit the robot from both the angles depicted onscreen.

Continuity mistake: When the NSA guys are taking the Doctor through the military base, in one camera shot they slow down and there's a metal globe ornament on the side of the road. The next camera shot to show outside the car shows them to be fast moving. The next camera shot shows them slowing down again at the same metal globe ornament.

Continuity mistake: When the machines start falling out the sky, Van Ryberg and Madison start running away, and if you look on the horizon as they are running, it's all flat ground. However, in the next shot of the machine rising out of the ground, there is now a massive hill in the background that wasn't there in the previous shot.

Continuity mistake: When the black SUV transmorphs into a robot, it goes to destroy the police car. The CGI interpretation of the police car looks absolutely nothing like the real car, the front grille for instance being completely oversized, and the wheels change totally.
