Veteran (2015)

Continuity mistake: During the fight in the garage, the protagonist neutralizes (and maybe neuters) one of the baddies crotching him with the car door. In that sequence, his hands keep changing position on the door. (00:07:30)

Flight Crew (2016)

Continuity mistake: The crew arrived at the volcanic island in turmoil, and are talking with the local captain. The captain asks them to carry also some of the dead people, and they start asking him what the plan is, if there's one at all. The pass at the neck of the captain shows the side with the symbol in one shot, the blank one in the next. (00:25:10)

Lolo (2015)

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the two friends discuss about the pool and various fluids including the pleasant effects of the waterjets on their ladyparts. During these amenities, the sleeve of the bathing robe on the bench switches position back and forth between two positions (showing the stripe or not). (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: During the boat trip at the beginning, wind knocks the hat off the judge's head in a close-up. The action happens again in the next shot, but it is starting with the hat reclined on the actor's face, flying across with a lower trajectory. (00:02:10)

Le Chef (2012)

Continuity mistake: Alexandre Lagarde puts his fork into the plate of the attractive client, much to the scorn of her husband. The morsel in close-up and the one she actually puts in her mouth are different. (00:06:10)

Officer Down (2013)

Continuity mistake: After stabbing the bad guy at the beginning, Callahan for some reason pulls back and somehow dives past a door managing to drag in a grown woman who was all crouched down by the entrance. Wonky physics of it aside, the bad guy shoot at him, but shoots just a hole in the door frame. The hole appears to be CGI, and in fact when Callahan shoots back from the bedroom, the hole is gone. (00:01:35)

Falchi: Falcons Special Squad mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Michele Riondino has just killed the snitch and is going after the witness, a Chinese woman. He holds her at gunpoint; she does not move, but in a shot she has hair in front of just her left shoulder, both shoulders in the next. (00:30:30)

Fantomas (1964)

Continuity mistake: When the clerk looks in close-up at the bank cheque written in disappearing ink by Fantomas, the background has nothing to do with the desk, and the distance is all wrong as well. (00:03:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene with the skype call, Mia's hair is in front/behind her shoulders depending on the camera angle, with no logic. (00:00:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Paolo's wife finds the text message of the girl calling him "my eternal love." In close-up she is holding the phone with the index finger at the very top of the phone, but in the previous and following shots the index is far from reaching that spot. (00:09:15)

Don't Look Back (2009)

Continuity mistake: Sophie Marceau's Jeanne meets the Hachette executive Robert (Didier Flamand). She enters the room with handbag and jacket in one hand. She then follows him into the other half of the room. Now she has her clothes in her right hand and her bag is in her left. Not just that; the man had the folder in his left hand in the first shot, but in the new one it's in his right. (00:04:25)

Full Speed (2016)

10 to Midnight (1983)

Continuity mistake: Continuity is blatantly disregarded during the first scene with the coroner; Wilford Brimley's arms are down his sides, in front of his gut, down his sides again, very obvious. (00:13:05)

Magnum, P.I. mistake picture

Jororo Farewell - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: When TC asks Benny (of course with no foreshadowing at all) "You don't wanna be someone else, do ya?" his van is parked in front of a hedge. Cut, and they are in front of garage doors. (00:32:45)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Black Orchid - S1-E16

Continuity mistake: The plane at the beginning of the episode stops with the propeller at 7:05. When Louise DeBolt walks past the propeller to get in the cockpit, the propeller is at 11:25, and goes back to 7:05 next time it's shown. (00:02:10 - 00:03:10)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The opening of the show starts with Magnum driving off with the iconic Ferrari; however it has a license plate number, 56E-478, which is not the one seen in 99% of the show. It comes from the pilot episode, where the vanity plate ROBIN-1 had yet to be introduced.

Jororo Farewell - S4-E11

Continuity mistake: During the paperboy run, TC stops the van and asks Benny a question. Benny was holding the paper vertically, but his arm is down in the next shot, and up again next, and so on. (00:32:40)
