The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Jules reacts to Ben's answer about his previous job asking "phone books?" She already cocked her head in the previous shot (when he said "Dex One"), but she does it again, and when the camera is back on the previous angle, the further change of position is not registered. She also holds the pizza slice at a different height depending on the angle. (00:51:50)

12 Angry Men (1997)

Continuity mistake: The jurors haven't expressed their first vote yet, they're just getting seated. One of them says "Let's get the show on the road." The foreman's right arm is bent as he holds the pen. He asks the juror by the window to come and sit; in this shot though his arm is down and straight. (00:07:25)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Everyone shows concern for Ben's health when he's not quite himself at work. Jason says that he looks like he's 'malfunctioning'. Ben puts away his patented handkerchief. When he manages to shoo him and the secretary away several seconds later, he's putting the hankie away again. (01:30:10)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Keeping a secret from Jules makes Ben uneasy, so when he is back at the office after finding Matt out, he is very evasive. During the scene, Jules' hand with the fork changes position several times. Then all of a sudden she holds her hand, with no fork, to her chest as she says he looks flushed, and at the cut the hand switched from right to left. (01:29:40)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Paige "like a clone" tries to correct Ben about the best course. She says "This is it" and touches the computer; her left hand is on the armrest of her seat. It's under the computer thingie in the next shot when Ben says the line. (01:23:15)

Continuity mistake: At the wedding, Christine tells Stephen something quite hurtful; wide-eyed, he asks her how long did she have it in the barrel; a black partygoer walks behind him but is gone in the reverse shot. Moreover, she replies "Long time" and a couple walks past her, only to walk again past Stephen in the next shot.

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: The gang is celebrating with tequila shots after the successful heist. There's a supposedly diegetic song in the background at the bar, but if you look at the moment they gulp down the liquor, after the cut they must have performed other actions - for instance, Davis put the lime inside his own glass. (01:14:45)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: In the sequence when she realises she sent the mail insulting her mom...to her mom, Jules' fingers completely switch place on the phone from the close-up to the other angles. (01:09:20)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Jules is interrupted by the bedbugs call while she is in the middle of typing the mail insulting her mom. She stops at the word "normal." She resumes typing, adding "ish", but meanwhile the mail also gained a subject, which was blank earlier. (01:08:30 - 01:09:00)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Jules is in the car, dealing with the 'zoom button' crisis. She asks Ben for the analytics of friends shopping together, and the phone rings. In close-up, she's reading the report (which, incidentally, is full of stuff that fails to make any point whatsoever) in an inner page, but in the shots before and after she has yet to open it. (01:07:50)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Jules is telling her 'sister wives' about the interest from the San Francisco CEO. She picks up the cream to add to her coffee, which she is holding using the mug's hand. Camera cuts away on Matt, and while she is still holding both the mug and the creamer in mid-air, she managed to switch the grip on the mug to the opposite side. (01:06:25)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: The morning after having taken Davis in, Ben is having breakfast again with Jules' family. Paige asks him to pour her more syrup. The syrup De Niro pours spreads nicely over about a third of the pancake, but in the reverse shot there's barely a smidgen. (01:06:00)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Ben reports the purchase patterns, as soon as he says "Thats...what I could tell" there's a jump in continuity, since his hand is no longer at the back of the folder but on the part closer to his chest, and the women in the background have changed position too. Worth noting also that Jules in the foreground is holding her pen with both hands but will be in a different position in the next shot. (01:03:40)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: In the sequence when Doris nearly has a car accident with her boss, the different angles are shot at totally different times of the days, as made evident by the shadows of the foliage on the asphalt. (00:58:40)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Jules is having a beer with her intern; when she grabs a chair, she moves the bottle from the right hand to the left hand as she uses the right hand to open the pizza box, but in the next shot she got it wrong, and she is doing the exact opposite, opening it with her left, beer firmly in her right hand. (00:51:05)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Jay is telling Ben about his 'progress' with Becky. Davis is listening, hands clasped together. In the next shot ("Right? It was communication!") his pose is different and the hands distant. (00:50:00)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Ben is driving Jules after threatening her driver. During the scene, depending on the camera angle the safety belt sometimes is under the coat's lapel, other times it's away from it. (00:31:45)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Jules ordered some of her own clothes to do some quality control. In the close-up of the box it is shown on the far right of the screen that the person opening the box put also down the lid. The next shot shows Jules with the lid still in hand. (00:42:50)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Ben is having morning coffee with Jules' hubby and daughter. Paige says that Ben being an intern is "hysterical." Ben nods; the girl is eating a spoonful of her cereal but in the next shot she's just looking at him, the spoon is in her bowl. (00:42:05)
