Continuity mistake: Following Charlie inside the ship, Darius assaults a guard conking his head against the wall. In the first shot the guy loses instantly his cap, but in the wider angle he has his cap on his head almost all the way to the floor. (00:52:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Stone holds in close-up the photo someone somehow took of him with Pettibone by the upper left corner, which becomes the bottom left when he throws it down on the table in anger. (00:45:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Darius finds the random gun in the middle of the corridor and picks it up with zero precautions because he's obviously an idiot, the gun casts a shadow on the tiles at a different direction and angle in the first shot and in the close-up. (00:42:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Charlie intervenes to fetch Darius who is making his escape from the party; forgetting the question on how could be in her car so fast, she travels in reverse gear a much lengthier portion of road than the one she traveled to pull over by him - even accounting for a different depth of field of the camera. She then nearly crashes into a taxi that in the second shot struggles to get inside the entrance of the alley nearly as much as in the first. (00:39:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Darius is making his way through the party crowd after the former SEAL member spotted him. Look when he drinks the last glass of champagne; in the background there's the same woman with a pearl necklace his pursuers already passed by. It's like they are -ahead - of him and not behind. (00:39:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the funeral, Charlie is walking in a mall. Behind her there's a man with a maroon tie chatting with a woman at his side. He carries a beige coat that in the second shot is held differently, showing its black interior. (00:34:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: For his escape, Ice Cube leaps on the incoming surprise silent chopper. The trajectory of his leap is different in the various shots - he was never gonna be able to grab the skid the way he was falling in the first shots. (00:12:45)

Clamp School (1997)

Kessei! CLAMP gakuen tanteidan - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Nokoru Imonoyama is looking at the dossier about the brother-in-law of their client. The chart showing the sorry state of his business looks different from the close-up when Nokoru puts it down - for instance, it's bi-color grey and white, when it was simply with white background before. (00:13:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: With a gun pointed at his head, Gibbons retorts that General George Deckert does not seem to do "any of the dying." Look at the shadows on the doorframe, and look at them again when the camera is back on Samuel Jackson; big change even if he surely didn't go anywhere. (00:29:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: As Ice Cube waltzes into the truck after the boat stunt, Shavers stares at him. Behind him you can see the car window is half/a third of the way up. With all the commotion, it's unlikely that Shavers decided to close it a bit; it was practically all the way down before, when Darius told him to get his butt off the driver's position, and up when he was saying there was a problem. (00:24:50 - 00:25:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube jumps off the speedboat he crashed on top of the bridge, the natural light in the shot when he is walking towards the explosion without looking is quite different from the crash shots. (00:25:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When we see Ice Cube move from boat to boat cutting the fuel line, we see also the disconnected pipes flopping down. But in close-up the little fuel tube we see pumping gas letting it pool into the deck is carefully propped to stays up and spurts at full force. Darius did not take time to fix any engine that way, though. (00:23:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When XXX stuns with rather unorthodox techniques the two guys the idiot co-protagonist left alone to guard the base, the first one to go down collapses with his right arm straight in front and the left hand below his elbow. When Scott Speedman gets back and start chasing Ice Cube, you can see the same man on the floor, right arm all the way down along his side, and his body turned so the left hand is not in the same position. (00:21:40 - 00:22:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In a problem already spotted in the previous movie of the saga, the departed Michael Roof had poor ring discipline; when the scene of the assault at the barn begins and he reminds 'X' that it's a covert operation, he's holding the binoculars with ring-free hands, but in the shot when he sighs saying "Subtle..." he sports an obvious metal band (exactly like in the original movie) at his right ring finger. (00:20:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Gibbons asks Agent Toby Lee Shavers to fit the rocket he picked from the car into a personal weapon, Michael Roof holds the rocket in two different ways (grip on the pipe or between the fins) depending on the camera angle. (00:20:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube reverses the Gibbons' "Three strikes" speech, the waitress behind him keeps changing position throughout the scene, serving the table to the right of the door, or to the left, back and forth. (00:14:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube fights three guards on the rooftop, the light varies significantly; just look at the guards when they are on the ground, the first one in particular, and where the shadow of the building extends. (00:12:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After for some incredibly silly reason the sniper does not shoot Darius thus ending the movie early, the convict jumps off the roof and finds more guards to beat up. He faces the first one, punches him, a new one joins...only, not, since the next shot is of Ice Cube kicking some more the first, while the second is just now coming out of the door giving him more time to kick more butt. (00:12:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Darius Stone is fighting the first two wardens, the ones who have him in cuffs. One of them decks the other by mistake with the baton; the stuntman goes down on the ground next to Darius, face first, in the wide angle, but the actor is limp with his back to the door in the next shot. (00:11:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The President's assistant asks him the first time we see him "Roses or tulips?" George appears out of the blue in the next shot despite being barely (perhaps) visible at the very end through the side door, while the other people in front of the President were exactly where they are in the new shot. (00:06:30)
