The First Purge (2018)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie Nya checks out of the leaking sink. The rag changes place after it cuts to her looking at the pipe, but she never moved it. (00:04:10)

Continuity mistake: John wakes up in a hospital bed, with a doctor talking to him in a rather aloof tone. The stethoscope around Doctor Mirione's neck changes position every time the angles switch; the bell is either at his collar or all the way down to his coat's pocket. (00:25:00)

We Own the Night (2007)

Continuity mistake: Vadim Nezhinski is asking Bobby to help him with the drugs, and tells him that they are gonna 'fix' all the cops that get in their way. Behind Joaquin Phoenix you can see the same waitress walk towards a door twice, the second time in particular the aisle was shown in the reverse shot a moment before, she is appearing out of nowhere. (00:41:30)

We Own the Night (2007)

Continuity mistake: There's a close-up of the Russian that is bleeding on the precinct floor; notice his switchblade is on the floor really close to the pool of blood. Mark Wahlberg arrives a few seconds later, and the blade is at greater distance, and the bloodstain around the person's arm is slightly smaller. (00:27:40)

We Own the Night (2007)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Bobby finds a bit of a messy situation by the bar, when a scuffle ensues as drunk patrons try to jump on the counter to join two topless chicks. During the scene, Jumbo holds his plastic cup high up with the arm stretched, or lower, and the distance between him and the scared guy with the white jacket changes. (00:05:10)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Hotel Artemis mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Nice draws a line in the asphalt of the secret passage (cool idea, although there's no way that the bad guys can actually see that especially at a distance!). In the first overhead shot, there's a gap in the line. When the line is shown again next with the first baddie croaking before it, the line has already changed. (01:15:45)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Bautista confronts the thugs still to the other side of the gate saying "Visiting hours are NEVER!", Crosby is holding two consecutive horizontal bars in one shot, two with one bar apart in the next. (01:15:30)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: Nice's hands invert position (left up, right up) when she is hugging/supporting Waikiki after he jammed the printer. A moment later she supports him with her left hand on his bicep, but it is gone in the reverse shot. (01:12:25)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: After the successful surgery on the policewoman, Nurse goes out of the room and leans against the wall, her hand trembling. In the two shots, the left ear bud of her walkman is on opposite sides of the microphone. (00:45:25)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: The Nurse fixed the policewoman, and they had a chat. When she leaves saying she has to prep for Niagara and that "Everest will walk you through the aftercare", Batista crosses the arms he had already crossed in the previous shot. (00:45:15)

Grand Hotel (1932)

Continuity mistake: When the Baron is dead and Mr. Kringelein enters in the room, he kneels by him and says a few lines about him looking peaceful. His left arm is on the chair in a position different from the shot before and after, where the hand is at the end of the armrest.

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: The Nurse asks Everest to pass her the microwave scalpel. During the scene, when she daydreams about her son's death, the earplug changes position and gets on her lapel during a cut. (00:40:00)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: Nice walks away from the bar after she told Waikiki to run away. There's a close-up of Sterling K. Brown looking at the pen while the bottle of bourbon is in the foreground; the bottle is fuller than it is in the rest of the scene, where just barely the bottom is left. (00:39:20)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Nice opens the pen-shaped safe, she holds it by the very bottom as it unlocks and extends, but her hand is back in a position next to the rim in the next shot. (00:38:05)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: When the Wolf King's crony "double taps" the cops that Batista roughed up, the footage shows a strong projected light that was nowhere to be seen in the alley - even assuming the footage heightens the luminosity, it is not even consistent with how the footage from that security camera looked earlier. (00:33:55)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: Batista knocks out of the three cops; the one that is lying further down the street is lying down at distance from the wall and oblique to the street's direction. In the overhead shot when the two staffers get back to the hotel, that cop is tucked in close to the wall. (00:32:55)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: The police shoots one of the kids who were robbing the Nurse. The body is lying on the sidewalk when she says "No, no, I can..." to them holding her at gunpoint, but when Batista kicks the cops around, the body shifted further to the middle of the road - where it should have been to begin with. (00:32:50)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: The Nurse and Everest chat in her room watching from security cameras both the Wolf King sealing the doors and the cop showing up at the other entrance. Throughout the scene, they chat with no room for significant breaks, and yet the time shown goes from 00:16 to 02:30, over 2 minutes in less than a minute of a scene (the time is not significant for the plot and it's a rather small detail in the HUD). It happens again later, after the scene with the three guests interacting over the cup of coffee; the timer jumps from 02:06 to 02:50 in the blink of an eye. (00:25:20)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: Nice responds in cool fashion to Acapulco that her superiority is "not an act." She has her open hand on her hip. He gets up and Sofia Boutella's hand is positioned differently, with just two fingers in position. (00:23:30)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: The Nurse just told Waikiki about his brother's addiction. She receives a call when she is outside the room. In close-up she is holding the tablet with just her right hand, lowering the left. Next shot and she is holding it with both hands. (00:20:10)
