Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Continuity mistake: Eric Bana is listening to the police radio frequencies at the beginning of the movie. He does it in close-up with his left hand on the money, by his right arm, but in the next shot his position is different, since his hand is holding the right forearm. (00:00:50)

Continuity mistake: Ben got his job. He has to see his wife though, and she passes him the divorce papers. The papers are in an envelope she slides across the table with the flap face down. It's face up in the reverse shot. (00:06:30)

The Brass Teapot (2012)

Continuity mistake: The alarm clock chimes; Juno Temple reaches up with her left hand, putting it on the upper part of the pillow. Michael Angarano crawls over her to turn the alarm off, but she's napping with her hand by her chin, on the bottom corner of the pillow. (00:02:40)

Rich in Love (2020)

Continuity mistake: The three friends are at the hospital. As Raissa and Katia predicted, Dr. Victor is hitting on Paula. As they follow him, the stethoscope around Raissa's neck dangles differently from her neck between cuts, with the cup on top of her hair or under it, closer to the shoulder. (00:05:35)

The Half of It (2020)

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of the choir (three students harmonizing on a note) the girl in pink holds the sheet with her left hand at the corner and the right hand in the middle. Cut to the wide shot, and she has the left hand in the middle and the right hand at its respective corner. (00:03:50)

The Lovebirds (2020)

Continuity mistake: First argument. Leilani shouts "Why are you being so loud right now?", with a hand behind her neck. She does not start the next shot in that position, she puts her hand there only a second later. (00:04:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning of the flashback, Jahkor gets thrown to the ground. The legs of the bully in the close-up cast a shadow over Jahkor's body. Cut to the next shot, and the shadow is away from Jahkor in a blatant change of direction of the light of the scene. (00:09:35)

The Willoughbys (2020)

Continuity mistake: Tim is showing the Nanny's phone to the others. He plays the message from his parents, but does it tapping the bottom part of the touchscreen, while the media file and its "play" button as established in previous views, is at the top. Likewise, when he turns towards Jane asking "Do you want to be taken care of?" he is pointing at the bottom of the device, but in the reverse shot his finger is at the top. (00:43:30)

Continuity mistake: The protagonist just unveiled to his boss the "nest" ad, to which he suggests some not-so-minor changes. Luca Argentero is holding the drape in two very different ways between shots (first with bunched cloth sticking up top, then simply folded). (00:05:00)

Coffee & Kareem (2020)

Continuity mistake: Kareem's mom is talking to her coworker about the fact that her son asked for James to pick him up at school. When she mentions that it's not seen as the coolest thing to date a cop, and a white one at that, her friend goes from hand low, to smoking with that hand, to drinking from the cup, in the span of a few words and a couple quick cuts. (00:09:45)

The Wrong Missy (2020)

Continuity mistake: George's son is disappointed because his dad missed the ball game and tells him that he should have been there.

Jexi (2019)

Continuity mistake: The dorky protagonist just bumped into the bike shop girl. She tells him "It's all good, man", to which he replies asking how's the bike. Behind him, a woman with a dog makes her appearance. Over 10 seconds of conversation pass, and the woman is still where she was, but in the shot that follows, when she says "I'm Cate, by the way", the woman warped past him, and is now behind her to the opposite end of the sidewalk. (00:07:15)
