Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the failed robbery with the water gun, the friends try one more caper. Elaine knocks down a stack of paddles; a few are left standing against the ticket booth, but the moment there's a cut, a single paddle is still up. (00:50:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Louise says "I'll be in charge of phase 1", and her hands is on her own chest as she plays with the brooch; suddenly at the cut the same hand is on her arm. (00:39:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Elaine phoned her friends to meet her in front of the money ball. When we see Jane approach, she has a rather quizzical look. She walks past a bench with two older people on it, and comes across two women; one has long black hair and wears brown pants, the other shorter blonde hair and has lighter brown pants with some sort of long beige sweater tied to her waist that goes past her knees. The exact same duo that walked past her in the opposite direction is in front of her in the mall square a couple of shots later. (00:36:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Elaine is out of gas and tries to make a phone call at the mall. When she hangs up, the phone cord is positioned above or under the microphone in different shots without her touching it. (00:35:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jane is talking to her dad who was just thrown out by her mum going through a lesbian phase. Look at him when he says "Hall closet, top shelf! Aye, aye, captain." His duffel back is floppy, and it rests already tighter to his body at the cut. (00:32:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In bed with Albert, Louise tells him she's gonna lose the store. She is holding the issue of Time magazine in different positions and distance between shots. For instance, at the first cut the magazine is suddenly resting on her chest, and the tip of her hair is above or below the magazine between shots. (00:23:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jane talks to Fred Willard once they get out of their lovemaking vehicle. She crosses her hands on top of the car door, but the hands are positioned differently between shots (when she says "Robert" the left is on top of the other, cut and they are locked together with the left hand sideways). (00:04:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the intro, the mother is playing with her kid; notice that when she grabs the gladiator puppet she is holding it with the index finger above the shoulder in the wider angle, below in the frontal close-up. (00:01:00)

The Silver Streak (1934)

Continuity mistake: Tom Caldwell failed to convince the board of his company and leaves the meeting dejected, his blueprints under his left arm. When he is coming out of the room, the longer rolled sheet is in his hand already. (00:07:30)

The Living Forest (2001)

Continuity mistake: The arc-shaped garden plant directed the protagonist to someone who can help him. A nasty human armed with shears walks by and starts his torture; he kneels by the plant, in a zone with no shadows, and in the next shot the whole section of ground is in the shade. (00:39:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, the three protagonists walk into a literal meat market; the price tags on the steaks change position between the two wider angle and the closer one. (00:02:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the 'match' when he tags with John Cena, Fred is picked up by the rival vampire in a fireman's carry position (kinda like for Cena's Attitude Adjustment), but his head is over the opponent's right shoulder in the first, wide, shot and towards the left shoulder in close-up.

WandaVision (2021)

Don't Touch That Dial - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Dottie calls Glamor and Illusion back on stage at the end of their performance, at the words "On behalf" she is holding the trophy with the right hand under its pedestal, which turns into the left hand in close-up. (00:25:40)

WandaVision (2021)

Don't Touch That Dial - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: At Dottie's, when the ladies start saying in unison "For the children", Wanda is caught off guard with her hand on her mouth. But which hand? The right hand in the wide shot, the left one in close-up. (00:10:40)

WandaVision (2021)

Don't Touch That Dial - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Wanda just found the toy helicopter in the shrub. Agnes surprises her; from the front, her left hand has the pinky finger sticking out and the thumb curled, but in the reverse shot the fingers are bent differently. (00:07:45)

Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006)

Continuity mistake: Maya just made a fool out of herself with her first unfortunate riding efforts, but recovered nicely. She exchanges words with Brooklyn; her "don't hate the player, hate the game" reply comes in a shot when she is in a position where she would not be facing her, and then it cuts to a close-up of the horse as he speaks, and where his head is lit in an entirely different way compared to the rest of the scene. (00:26:55)

Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006)

Continuity mistake: Maya and Brook are arguing in the bus, and the donut guy interjects; "Let's play the quiet game." He puts his right arm on the opposite aisle, but it's in his lap at the cut. (00:16:45)

Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006)

Continuity mistake: After the car crash, Maya follows the darn dog to complain about his careless crossing. In an abrupt cut, she has her right arm straight down the side, then her hand is on her hip. (00:02:15)

Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Maya swerves to avoid running a dog over. An extra in a pink shirt and jeans shorts is present at all times by the mailboxes she'll ram the car into, and that is good, but his position is inconsistent. In the overhead shot he's already past the newspaper box, in the next he's several meters behind, and then past that point again. (00:01:50)
