Sammo

Continuity mistake: Herr Grohmann decides to leave. He shuts the main door behind him, puts his hat on and walks away. His rope is on the left shoulder, and goes straight down his side. When he's shown with the camera behind him, the rope is worn across the torso. He then reaches the Devil's Leap, he's wearing the rope again along his side, and only then he puts it crossbody. (00:49:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Lombard and the butler are fighting. The Judge asks "Stop it! Stop it you two." In this close-up there are plenty differences in the small crowd at the door; for instance the doctor's hand is at a much higher point of the doorframe, and the actress had her hand on the judge's shoulder and now she's biting a nail. (00:45:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the second dinner, the doctor asks for more wine and Grohmann pours it. The Judge's pocket square sticks out a lot, but just a tad in the close-up that follows, as he looks at the leaving Grohmann. (00:44:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Blore chimes in during the Judge's explanation of the mind games saying "One is bogus." Notice the shadow the Judge casts on the wall. When Blore turns towards the doctor to ask about his alibi, the judge has changed spot casting a different silhouette on the wall. (00:41:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Miss Bergman interrupts the game of snooker after the doctor has just taken a rather lame shot. Eyes on the ball he shot; when the Judge begins his demonstration, that ball, next to the 8 ball, it's at greater distance from it than before. (00:40:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the Judge says "Mr. Owen is one of us", cue dramatic music. Miss Clyde takes her hand off the top of the chair, but she's gripping it like earlier in the next shot. (00:38:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the General is murdered, everyone is back in the dining room in front of the statuettes. The Judge mentions that the twisted Owen believes he's doing "justice." Notice the handkerchief in the pocket of the Doctor. It sticks out a lot. Blore says "I'll tell you one thing", and the pochette is now tucked in with just the tip poking out, and it comes out again in full in the next shot. (00:37:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the General takes a weight off his conscience admitting to his guilt, his handkerchief feels lifted too and sticks out of his pocket more than before. (00:32:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: General Mandrake confesses his crime. Ilona Bergen asks "How does this help?" Lombard is standing straight and tall, but in the previous shot he was leaning at an angle against the wall and the drawer. (00:32:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ann Clyde and Hugh Lombard are drinking milking in the kitchen. During the whole scene Shirley Eaton's golden hair is behind or in front of her shoulders, it keeps switching. (00:28:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the doctor reaches for the glass, he is about to catch it cupping it with two fingers on each side of the stem. He freezes due to Blore's admonition, but his hand is now about to grab it by the side. (00:26:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Mike Raven performs the song with his collar unbuttoned and bow tie loose. He also dies the same way. In between though, there's the scene where everyone is in the record player room. Everyone but him, who can be seen sitting at the piano. With the bow tie properly fastened like the other guests. (00:17:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The decanter is open when the singer mentions the "10 little skeletons", and its glass lid is on the top of the piano. When he takes the fatal sip and dies, the decanter is on the keys, but the lid is in a different spot. (00:20:50 - 00:22:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Blore gives his explanation about his presence at the villa, marked shadows appear on the mantle where no shadow was present before. (00:19:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Owen mentions that he's charging the guests with crimes. Cut, and you can see that there's terrible continuity; Ilona Bergen and the doctor have entirely different posture and arm position, the hands of the judge are close instead of far apart, but even more conspicuously, Frau Grohmann was facing the guests, now is facing the wall. (00:15:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the General mentions Mike Raven's "infernal noise", the Judge is looking ahead at him. He is pensive and with a hand to his chin when the shot changes and Owen begins to speak. (00:15:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Once Fabian is done with his performance, General Mandrake heckles him. The cigarette in his holder is practically spent, but it was whole when the 'singer' was already down to the last little Indian. (00:15:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Fabian murders the 10 Little Indians nursery rhymes at the piano, the sheets on the instruments are positioned differently depending on the camera angle - easy to notice when Grohmann brings him a new drink; the sheets are all straight, while when his wife picked up the coffee cup one sheet was askew sticking out with a corner. (00:13:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Lombard responds to the toast with a grin, saying "I hope Mr. Owen isn't lost in the snowstorm." He starts the toast in that shot picking his glass from the table like everyone else, but in the previous he already was holding it, in his lap. (00:12:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Judge Cannon proposes a toast; the empty chair at the head of the table is shown; besides a blatant different in lighting (look at the shadows cast by the Indians tray, and Mario Adorf going from having his hands in the shade to perfectly visible), there is a wine glass by the tray, and Judge Cannon is holding his. (00:12:25)
