Continuity mistake: When Peach collapses on top of Mario after the weird TV invasion, Mario's arm is on top of hers, but in the closer shot that follows his arm is distant and in fact it is behind hers the moment he turns a little.

2 Guns (2013)

Continuity mistake: Bobby is in the barn with Papi Greco. He gave him the passports, and thus asks "Whatch'ya got for me?" The bull in the pen, who has been close to them all the time, is suddenly in the corner by the wall between shots. (00:07:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the flaming severed arm falls in front of Lars and Sigrit, its position is different between shots; it fell across the horizontal lines of the railing's shadow, but in close-up it's parallel to them, and when they kick it, it rolls over obviously different spots (easy to tell by the width of the shadow). (00:26:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the exhibition of "21st Century Viking", one of the bar patrons calls the attention of the others; his hand changes position on the glass between shots, the guy with a shaved head and short black beard is holding his beer with his right hand instead of both, etc. (00:21:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Neils Brongus puts next to him in the conference room the DVD with Demi Lovato's performance. The DVD is placed in the first shot on top of the remote control, but already in the next shot it's off it, and it keeps bouncing between these two positions and different ones depending from the camera angles. (00:13:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Olaf drives away after chewing off the parking ticket. Lars sighs and concurs that his dad IS in fact ashamed of him. He has his hands in his pants, but when in the next shot Sigrit tells him it's not true, his hands are in the upper pockets of his jacket. (00:08:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Will Ferrell and Pierce Brosnan have their conversation about the house in front of the tomb, the natural light changes very between shots (when Brosnan says "I make my money fishing" Ferrell's shoulder and face are fully lit by direct sunlight, gone at the next cut). (00:06:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During Abba's performance, the toy young Lars is playing with changes position between shots. Specifically, when the song says "At Waterloo Napoleon did surrender", the wooden tile laid flat on the step is pointed towards the camera, and after the cut it moved 90°. (00:01:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Abba is about to perform "Waterloo" and one of the women hushes the others spreading her arms. Most beer bottles in that particular shot have gotten their cap back on. (00:01:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the President at the end holds the medal for the 'unknown soldier', the medal at Scott Speedman's neck is nice and straight in the close-up, but curls up above the star in the shot when the Pres quotes Tupac. (01:32:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Darius pushes the buttons turning the lights off in the cart where Deckert is holding the President hostage, he begins shutting down the lights behind them, but in the reaction shot those lights are going out later. Moreso, before the camera cuts away from the switches, we see three lights turn off at once, one being below Stone's fingers. (01:28:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the bad guys open the doors to the bullet train track using President James Sanford's hand, look at the corridor double door. When XXX arrives, he finds the same open doors with door stops that weren't there a moment before. (01:21:00 - 01:21:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: By the power of schizophrenic montage, X and Steele turn around hearing the arrival of Charlie with Gibbons, are side to side, and in the next shot they are on opposite sides of the huge hall and blindside them. (01:19:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the President realises who's behind the coup, he walks towards him.asking "Are you doing this?" His hair is just fine and very Presidential, but when a cut later he asks "Are you familiar with the word 'treason'?" his hair is messy on his forehead. (01:15:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Darius and his posse start their assault on the renegades. They drive on the sidewalk and are about to crash into the road block. In the POV shot there's just a couple of soldiers in their way, who move rapidly out of the way. The next shot shows the same spot but on top of 2 soldiers who still have to move out, there's also a construction worker with a hard hat and more people. (01:13:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the silly scene of the two truck drivers getting out to offer some assistance to the skanks, look when the one in red says "Hi boys." The one in white has her hand on her hip, but in the reverse shot she's playing with her hair at shoulder-length. Meanwhile the truck driver tips his hat, but in the next shot his hand is to his side. (01:08:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Toby is dangling off the car from his suction glove in a different position between shots - in particular when he begs Lola he has his free hand on the door and immediately after he has not. (01:07:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Steele comfortably waltzes into Darius' hideout surprising everyone. He mentions some car magic he figured out by ear; notice Michael Roof has some tool between his teeth. "I didn't always wear a suit", Speedman says, and when the camera is back on Roof, he's not goofing around with things in his mouth anymore, but it comes back again when the same camera angle as before is used again. (01:03:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Samuel Jackson yells at XXX to leave them in the cell, he is leaning against the wall in the wide shot, has his arm across the bars in the previous. (00:53:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Darius Stone pimpslaps Charlie Mayweather unconscious. She falls with her left foot under her calf, but she adjusted to a more comfortable position with her leg stretched and one hand up when a second later the guards open the hatch. (00:53:20)
