Continuity mistake: When John is watching the video of Cecilia, he reaches up and puts his right hand against his face. It then cuts to the opposite angle, and suddenly it's switched to John's left hand being against his face.

Other mistake: When John is watching the video of Cecilia on her website, the video progress bar we've seen twice makes no sense. The first time we see it, it's moving far too fast for the length of the video. Later, we see it a second time, and it has seemingly reset back to the beginning despite it being the same video, and again, it's moving way too fast.

Stupidity: If you pay attention to John's computer desktop, it's hilariously clear that it's just a mockup made for the movie. There are about a dozen files on his desktop that literally just say "File." Every icon has an unrealistically generic name. Etc.

Continuity mistake: When the custodian twists the dial to position two on his trap, his fingers go from extended to curled instantly between cuts.

Saw X (2023)

Continuity mistake: When the custodian grabs the watch out of the drawer at the start of the film, the way he's holding it changes instantly between cuts. (First he's only holding it in his right hand, then he's suddenly holding it with both hands.)

Saw X (2023)

Continuity mistake: When the custodian parks his vacuum near the hospital bed at the start of the film, in the first shot, his vacuum is near the middle of the bed. The camera cuts, and suddenly it's down near the foot of the bed.

Audio problem: When the CT technician asks John if he'd like some help getting down, John says "Thank you very much", but you can tell that he's not saying anything and that the line is just dubbed in. (True, the camera is facing away from him, but his jaw and face aren't moving at all.)

Character mistake: John would have no reason to ask the CT technician if she had any results. He says "that was a long one," indicating he's had this done before and should know it typically takes around 24-48 hours to get results. (Likely just a line of dialogue added for the benefit of the audience, who may not know.)

Trivia: The doctor on the surgery DVD John finds in the ransacked clinic is actually the film's production designer, Anthony Stabley, in a cameo appearance.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Other mistake: After Gage turns into a monster and fights Buffy, the two monsters slide into an open grate. During the shot, there's some sort of weird "glitch" in the background where the garbage can and wall seem to slightly move. All I can assume is that a few frames were trimmed to speed up the shot and it may have exaggerated subtle camera movement, making the background appear to "jump" slightly.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Willow, and Cordy are talking at the swim meet (after Gage waves at Buffy), the way Buffy is holding her hands changes back and forth between two positions as it cuts between her and Cordy. Seems two different takes were used, and she had her hands in slightly different positions in them.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy kicks Angelus, suddenly his arm is up in the air instantly between cuts. It seems like two different takes of the kick were used, and in one, he flung his arm up.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is spying on Gage, she picks up a magazine to blend in. A few shots later, she's suddenly holding a completely different magazine. She didn't pick up a different one between cuts. It's supposed to be the same one.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Audio problem: When Xander finds Cameron's skin, he is gasping and puts his hand over his mouth. The audio of him gasping, however, isn't muffled at all as it would be if he had his hand over his mouth, revealing it was looped in after the fact.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: After Willow says that the student was killed by being opened up like an Oreo "except without the chocolaty cookie goodness," Buffy's hands go from together to apart instantly between cuts. She then puts her hands back together only for them to be apart again in the next shot.

Go Fish - S2-E20

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is complaining to the others about getting in trouble over hurting Cameron in the library, her hands go back and forth from down by her sides to holding her hips between cuts a few times.
