Trancers (1985)

Continuity mistake: Leena somehow buys Deth's story, and he tells her eventually "So you'll help me." The steering wheel rotates significantly between shots. Same after a brief cut to Whistler when they pull over in front of the "Tropical Tube Tan"; suddenly Deth's left hand on top of the wheel becomes the right hand. (00:26:35 - 00:27:15)

Trancers (1985)

Continuity mistake: Jack (p) reincarnated in his ancestor is talking to the booty call in the Santa suit. He mechanically repeats "Lost souls, yeah..." as he throws the tie over his shirt. He turns around, and in the next shot the tie conveniently adjusted itself going under the collar. (00:18:40)

Trancers (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Jack receives the baseball card from the Consul, he's holding the other photo from the top, which becomes the bottom in close-up. (00:15:55)

This is the President

Continuity mistake: In the intro of the game, Archie Wister talks to a young prison officer. The radio on the breast pocket of the officer changes size and details between shots, together with other details of the uniform like a nametag.

The King of Fighters '95

Continuity mistake: In the post-credit photo montage, Heidern (without his uniform) wears the eyepatch on the right eye, but his various character portraits in the selection screen, victory screen and ending show him with the eyepatch on the left eye. (in later instalments of the series he is predominantly shown with the right eye missing, actually).

The Tiger Mask (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Naoto and Ruriko are on the park bench, and he tries to make up some story about where did he spend the past decade, Natsuna's scarf is folded in a different way in the different main angles of the conversation. (01:03:20)

The Tiger Mask (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Naoto witnesses White Tiger putting Yellow Tiger against the ropes, his left hand is on the third bar of the door. Cut to White Tiger gloating, and Naoto is gripping the second bar. Similarly, when later Jo finishes Dan off breaking his leg, sometimes between Naoto's hands there are 4 bars or 5 even if his hands move always up and down the same bars. (00:46:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the Abebo murders, tempers run high at the meeting of the clan. The sinister Sakoda accuses the one raising objections to be a wimp, and the guy slams his fists on the table. The president of the meeting says "stop it"; Sonny Chiba is leaning forward with both hands, but in the next shot he has one hand in front and one in the back. (00:20:00)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Kindaichi falls from the cart, the boxes around him are placed in a way that it's not just incongruous continuity-wise from shot to shot, but is also nonsensical; in one shot for instance he has a box through each leg, but since Longtao smuggled him out inside them, both legs had to be inside the same box; the cardboard was surrounding him. (00:12:30)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: The younger gangster (credited as 'Blueface' for what happens later in the scene) is sitting on his heels and asks a first time "Where is Amelia?" He stands, and in the next shot he's standing, again, and he even has both hands on the floor, which he hadn't in the first shot. (00:18:30)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: A bad guy hiding in Jackson's apartment points a gun at his head when Jackson, carrying a case of Yoo-hoo, is distracted by his accomplice. In close-up the older guy takes his glasses off, but in the next wider shot he's wearing them. (00:16:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Joanne's dad hits Tuba up with the baseball bat after he tried to fix his zipper; between shots Sammo Hung's hand is in a different position, as you can tell by the writing on the bat that suddenly in the second shot is in view and not covered by the hand anymore, and even further uncovered in the next. (01:29:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jeong-lee Hwang is fighting Tuba in front of a metal cage. He sends him against several boxes of fruit, and you can see Sammo Hung reeling against a brown box of apples. Out of nowhere, in the next shot a box of oranges appeared on top of it. (01:20:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ghost Rambo eats the apple, then puts it quickly back on the plate. The apple is lying on the side in close-up, but when Tuba looks around puzzled, it is sitting on the plate with the stalk up. (00:55:00)
