Continuity mistake: During the diner scene, once Leilani covers the imaginary bodycam and starts talking about his murderous beard, her hand position keeps changing between shots, together with the phone's position, sometimes close to her body, other times closer to the fries. And the phone is in an entirely different spot in the close-up when it starts vibrating. (00:16:35)

Continuity mistake: Leilani and Jibran are at the diner. No booze is served there, so they get milkshakes instead. In the establishing overhead shot there are no spoons in the shakes, they appear in the next shot. Which would be fine, but Leilani is playing with the spoon in that shot, and once he says that they should go to the police, her hand is gone. A few seconds later, Leilani's shake just moves entirely out of the way and is replaced by a plate of fries. (00:15:55)

Continuity mistake: When Martino is wandering the desert, delirious from the heat, his shirt is unbuttoned to half his chest or lower. When he is shown dead in a longshot, his shirt appears buttoned up higher than that. (00:51:05 - 00:52:20)

Continuity mistake: And then there were four. During their tense conversation in the lobby, the Doctor gets close to Lombard, who has his jacket in hand. He holds the jacket in a different way (sideways vs more frontal) in the two different shots. (01:15:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Blore is reluctant to admit his guilt. He stands up but the Judge bangs his cane angrily on the floor and Blore sits down again. The candles in front of the Judge have a different length between shots. (01:07:40)

Continuity mistake: Vera screams "No!" as Martino tries to pour her a drink. The man is holding the bottle with both hands in the next shot, in discontinuity with the pose he had before, leaning with the other hand against the back of the chair. (00:47:30)

Continuity mistake: After the general is killed, there's a close-up on the figurines. Two are broken with just the feet left, the third, the rightmost, at the waist. When the second victim was murdered, we saw the killer break just its head off, the statue to the right of the halved one. The following shot shows the statues in that order, with the addition of third broken one in rightmost position. (00:34:15 - 00:42:15)

Continuity mistake: During the search, when the General says "Here I am" in the wide shot, Ilona turns around, but the General in the next shot comes from a different direction, which Ilona is already facing. (00:38:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the night search for Elsa, Mr. Martino spots her and starts running towards her. Not even a second passes, and in the same shot Lombard begins the chase too. In the next shot, Martino has such a head start on Lombard that Usain Bolt himself would be impressed. (00:33:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The guests are discussing how they were lured in by Mr. Owen. Aznavour pitches in with his drunken comments occasionally, but his arm/hand position is often wrong. For instance when the doctor mentions his reason, Aznavour's left arm is the only one above the music sheet, but in the close-up he's holding the glass with both hands, over the sheet. (00:20:55)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the Ten Little Indians song, Lombard from his spot at the base of the staircase produces arguably the most awkward thumbs up and grin in cinematic history. He then moves to a chair next to Vera, reading a book. But during the performace of the Aznavour hit "The old fashioned way" that follows, he gives Raven another, marginally less awkward, thumbs up. By the background you can easily tell he's again standing by the stairs, in what was most likely another take of the gesture from before. (00:14:00 - 00:15:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the end of "The old fashioned way", Aznavour thanks the audience and lifts his glass for a drink right as Owen's voice comes through the speakers. Wide shot, and you can see him only then, after a couple of seconds actually, lift the glass. (00:16:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ilona tells the judge that the chansonnier is nearly done with the cacophony; in longshot her arm is stretched forward, but she has her hand (and glass) close to her face in close-up. (00:13:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After Lombard grabbed the cassette, the Judge at the base of the stairs asks who put the tape in the machine. His cane goes from left to right hand during the quick cut to Martino. (00:19:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The guests arrive by helicopter in Persepolis. They walk towards the hotel. The torrid Persian sun makes them cast a shado to their left. Elsa Martino greets them and escorts them for the last few meters in another shot, during which they cast shadows to the opposite direction. The two shots (and shadow directions) alternate. (00:02:45)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: After the orgiastic party, the doctor is slow-dancing with a nearly passed out Blore. He tells him to look at the other couple; between shots Blore's head (as indicated by the hat) is tilted in opposite directions. (00:19:30)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Dr. Armstrong shouts at Vera to stop the high pitched noise she is making with her glass. She does, and then resumes it; the turns her finger counterclockwise under one camera angle, clockwise under the other. (00:09:25)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the kitchen, the doctor asks the judge; "Why didn't you go and see?" Wargrave has both hands at the top of the cane, but in the next shot they are down, below the handle. (00:06:05)

Sammo ★

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When the fearful doctor asks "Where's she going? Where you going?" as Vera goes to make tea, he's holding his glass from above. In foreground in the next shot, he has his hand wrapped around it. (00:03:55)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Dr. Armstrong at the beginning of the episode squeaks that they should light a fire to signal the danger. Close-up on the judge, holding his cane with the sole right hand, thumb up along it. Next shot and he has both hands on the cane, thumb tucked in. (00:03:50)
