Trading Places (1983)
Continuity mistake: When there is an overhead shot inside of Winthrop's house when Billy Ray is giving a party, look down on the right hand side - a lady in a black dress is passed out, with her legs draped over a guy's lap. The next scene is a close up, and she's now lying against his chest (head first), then the next scene, she's back lying at the other end of the couch with her legs draped over his lap.

Good Boys (2019)
Continuity mistake: When they are trying to pop Lucas' arm back into its socket he has a ball gag in his mouth. Watch, as the depth of him sucking on the ball gag changes. Sometimes it's near the front of his mouth, sometimes he has it almost completely swallowed.
Suggested correction: I rewatched the scene three times and I don't think it is a continuity mistake. It is true that sometimes the ball is mostly outside of the lips and other times it is mostly in the mouth. But there is a pattern - out, in, out, in, out. I get the impression that the depth of the ball in Lucas' mouth correlates with his breathing (inhaling or exhaling) and/or varies with his arm being pulled by Max and Thor. The ball goes lower in his mouth when Max and Thor start yanking.

Grindhouse (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Zoe Bell is riding the hood for "Ship's Mast" - and is hit from behind by Mike a couple of times - she's on her back hanging onto the belt, and then the next shot she is facing the road head first, then on her back again.

Hard Target (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Fouchon is playing the piano intensely, and they show a close up of his hands, the right hand has a black bracelet on it showing. They show his hands a few seconds later, and it has disappeared. When he finishes playing and moves to the couch, it has reappeared.

Red Eye (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Jackson and Lisa are fighting in the bathroom and he begins to wipe off the soap from the mirror, it's somewhat foamy. The camera zooms in on Jackson talking to Lisa. When the camera pulls back, the soap is mostly gone, with very little suds to show. I know soap evaporates, but not this quickly. Not to mention, he didn't get every word wiped off, but when the camera pulls back, there is no sign of anything actually written on the mirror.

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning once McClane and Matthew have escaped the apartment, and are going through the alleyway, when John gets in the car and throws it in reverse look to the left of the screen. The back driver's side window is rolled down about 2-3 inches. The remaining camera shots during the escape show the window being rolled all the way up.

Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995)
Continuity mistake: When they're on the bridge, trying to find a way onto the barge and they first get out of the truck, the skies are very overcast, as shown by the rain on the bridge. When they cut away and cut back to McClane, the sun is now out and very few clouds in the sky. It's fairly obvious that it was shot on different days and the bridge watered down.

The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)
Continuity mistake: In the opening credits, Andy tucks his pant leg in his sock. The next scene shows him riding his bike to work as the credits continue to roll - his pant leg is now out over the sock like normal. The next scene shows the sock back over the pant leg. (00:05:00)

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Mildred and her son pull up in the station wagon, there is a drink thrown at the car that hits the windshield. She gets out and confronts them, and then walks back to her car, with no evidence of anything having hit the windshield. It would be running down the glass and was a pretty thick substance.
