Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: During the marketplace scene in Aswan, Poirot sits down with Jackie to try to talk her out of her stalking routine. She lets him at her table and sets the sunglasses by the handbag. The glasses are angled towards the bag, but when she mentions her father in another shot the glasses are placed the opposite way. (00:29:55)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: After Bouc's exposition about every major character at the wedding party, Linnet and Simon run off in the middle of the dance (you can hear the line "Looking good, Simon!" and they sprint away). They do so in a characteristic way - Simon has to slightly duck to avoid someone's arm - but in the reverse shot the action happens in an entirely different way, and Poirot, who they pass by both times, is dancing with his partner in a different position. (00:25:40)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: Simon Doyle during the meeting with the family in the hotel lobby professes his love to his bride. He finishes his declaration walking towards her to kiss her, but you can see before Gal Gadot pulls him for the kiss that his face is not moving even if he is supposedly still finishing the sentence. (00:24:15)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: When Gal Gadot picks up the photo showing the inspirational family photo that Cousin Andrew brought as a gift, she holds the box with picture in a slightly different way in every shot (first it changes the distance between her hands and Cousin Andrew's, then the way the paper is folded against the box or flapping freely). (00:23:40)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: At the top of the stairs during the wedding party, Bouc makes a comment about adenoids and flat feet while Gal Gadot waves at the guests and her husband with a theatrical gesture puts her hand under his arm. The same gesture repeats in the next shot as we see the pain of doctor Windlesham. (00:22:45)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: The maid is admiring herself in the mirror with the Tiffany necklace, with an unhealthy dose of self-indulgence. The bulky pendant is supported by her middle finger, and her ring finger in close-up is on her shirt. In the next shot, the ring finger is inside the open shirt. (00:21:30)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: Poirot is admiring the Sphynx. He reaches for his drink; in the wide shot you can see that the yellow bookmark inside his Baedeker's is curled in a loop, but it's perfectly straightened in the close-up. (00:16:45)

Death on the Nile (2022)

Continuity mistake: During Salome's opening performance, after she sings "Where in the devil they're at" Poirot is watching intently Simon and Jackie dance in the crowd. There's a rather remarkable view of Emma Mackey with her leg tossed atop of Armie Hammer's shoulder. In the previous shot though she was visible in the background in a different position. (00:10:25)

Continuity mistake: Christine throws Hawkins' cigarette in the manhole and runs back to the truck; David in the first shot does not have his hand on his chest, but he does in the next. (01:08:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the alligator eats the bomb, the three hunters decide to split. When David suggests it, the strap goes across his chest a different way in the two shots. (01:07:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Vinny Brown visits his realtor, who tells him to "tell those lowlives to shut up." Cut, and both Steve Railsback and Elkanah Burns' hands are in a different position (the realtor put already down the papers, but now he still has to, and Brown moved the hand away from the railing but it's back fully on it). (01:03:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Hodges, Harmon and Hawk put together the 6 sticks of dynamite, Hawk's thumb is below or above Hodges', depending on the angle. (01:03:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When David talks with his wife, the rest of the team and then also Chief Speed outside the manhole, the natural light (quantity of light behind the SUV) changes depending on the camera angle. (00:51:00)

Being a DIK

Continuity mistake: In the flashback of Jade and her husband having an argument because of his infidelity, the painting behind Stephen has a broken glass before Jade throws the object that damages it.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Agent Rich Harmon applies the good old dating strategy of telling a sob story about his childhood. Sheri's hair moves from all in front of her right shoulder, to all in front of the left shoulder (and she is also not holding/ holding her glass). (00:41:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Thanks to a well-placed compliment about her "backyard", Harmon scores an instant date with the mayor's daughter. They go from the police station to a bar, and somehow en route she has changed hairstyle entirely. (00:40:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Chief Speed and the mayor are talking; Mr. Anderson says "C'mon Clarence, there's a lot at stake this weekend." Clarence Speed is holding a black ID. In the next shot he's holding a pink lighter, the ID is in another spot on the desk. (00:37:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When David approaches the homeless guy on the stretcher, he's lying with his hands under the sheet in the first shot, arms crossed on top of the sheet in the next. (00:36:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After a close-up on Wildman Jack Armstrong, we see a homeless guy eating with a spoon. He turns around, and in the next shot while still being turned around his left hand traded the food with a flaming stick. (00:28:20)
