Continuity mistake: Tony Jaa joins the others outside the CIA building "just in time." Behind him, a cab stops by. The cab appears and disappears between shots, "just" arriving again once he triumphs over his showboating motorcyclist adversary that does wheelies instead of shooting. (00:10:55)

xXx: Return of Xander Cage mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Michael Bisping tackles the CIA agent and they begin a brawl in a room. There's a close-up on Donnie Yen looking at them, but in the next shot he's nowhere to be seen between the open doors - he appears only in a different shot a couple cuts later. (00:10:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Donnie Yen is at the CIA HQ, at one point he's looking for a way out and jumps back-first on the large desk starting to spin on his back shooting all around himself. In the first shot there's nothing directly under him, but in the aerial shot he's doing the weird breakdance move having one of the desk pads underneath him. (00:09:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Donnie Yen snatches the Box from Jane Marke and puts his butt on the table to do some showboating, the old looking guy reaches for his gun very promptly with an angry face right at the beginning, then it cuts to a shot of Donnie doing a silly shrug, and the guy is frozen and befuddled for a second, pulling the gun only later with an even meaner face, that is instantly different at the cut. (00:09:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the meeting of the CIA high-ups, Toni Collette says "One of you is behind this", holding the Pandora Box. Notice the man who just spoke before her, with his arm resting on the table. Reverse shot, and the forearm is raised so his hand is on his cheek. (00:08:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the stolen wallet ends up in Danny Pennington's hand who is tasked to hold it out for the ninja to grab it. In close-up Danny's hand is positioned below the sleeve of his T-shirt, in the shots before and after his hand is higher, between the sleeve and his body. (00:01:15)

Mulan (2020)

Continuity mistake: When Mulan is back home and her mother hugs her, in the first shot her hand is on Mulan's shoulder, on the top, but after the cut it's behind it. (01:40:35)

Mulan (2020)

Continuity mistake: Mulan sheds her armor and is back to the battlefield, where she begins mowing down the bunch of Rourans. When she impales her last one, look at the shot when Yifei Liu is barely in frame; you can tell that there's just a tiny portion of her by her eye, but when the camera is focused in the next shot on the cool pose that sends everyone else hightailing, there's a lot of hair down that side of her face. (01:06:25)

Mulan (2020)

Continuity mistake: Mulan opens her armor to extract the throwing weapon blocked by her makeshift corset. In the first close-up the long strand of hair that was in front of her left hand is gone, and in the second one (when she pulls the weapon out) her left hand is holding the armor below the dagger - it was above it before. (01:04:25)

Mulan (2020)

Mulan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After the first clash with the Witch, as the narration says Hua Jun 'dies', but Mulan lives. The close-up on the blade shows a hand gripping it a couple inches below the blade, while whenever we see her face, before and after that close-up, she is holding it with her finger alongside the guard. (01:03:45)

Mulan (2020)

Mulan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Once Mulan has reached the top of the mountain with her buckets, the action moves to the Rouran troops assaulting a city. Gong Li's witch is womanhandling a bunch of soldiers who try to impale her. She grabs a spear a few inches away from its feathers, but in the next shots her hand is covered by them. (00:50:50)

Mulan (2020)

Mulan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The commanding officer (Donnie Yen) intervenes to stop the sword-pointing nonsense with his kung-fu badassery. He easily disarms the two litigious rookies and holds both their swords, but the pose he strikes is a different one in the two shots; Mulan's family heirloom is held alternatively low and high. (00:29:55)

Mulan (2020)

Mulan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Chen Honghui extends his hand to "the little man" to help 'him' back on his feet, but Mulan pulls her sword on him. The sword strap dangles freely in the shots by the side, but it is held up in the close-ups of the blade pointed at his neck. (00:29:45)

Mulan (2020)

Continuity mistake: On the way to the conscription office, Cricket introduces himself, or tries to do so, but the token bully starts tormenting him by prodding his ear with a small straw. The straw has split ends which make noticeable the fact that the straw is turned at a different angle between shots; the second time he gets poked in particular, the smoother end is floppy and tilted downwards in the wide angle, straight and horizontal in the ear close-up. (00:29:25)

Mulan (2020)

Mulan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Mulan is having dinner with her family after her father has been drafted. During the scene depending on the camera angle her arms are folded, or her right arm is leaning against the table while she is holding chopsticks in midair. (00:20:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the introductions, Ilona Bergen exclaims; "How awesomely marvellous" with Blore casting on the wall by her a Hitchcockian-esque shadow with his profile. The shadow comes from nowhere, since the previous shot of the room lacked that and the other shadows (like the vase's) are unchanged. (00:06:25)

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The characters are looking at the Ten Little Soldiers. When one of them (playing the role of Blore) is banging on the glass, you can see the hands of the mystery writer ("Lombard") leaning against the base. He's leaning on the top of the display case in the next shot. (00:22:10)
