Continuity mistake: Jake stops the car right before accidentally running his dad over. It's obvious though that two different takes are edited together, as the position Tom Watt jumps from is a different one in the two shots. (00:55:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Outside the building after Caroline wins the head-to-head against her colleague, Sylvia says "I feel sorry for Warren." At the cut, extras appear around the group all of a sudden coming out of the doors that were closed before. (00:34:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Karen puts the embarrassing picture in the envelope holding it in a different way - she pulls it open with the left hand in the corner in the first and last shot, by the middle of the side closest to her in close-up. (00:31:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Martin just started working at the same call center her daughter is in. The nefarious Karen walks away and turns back to just dismiss his request with a clicking noise; during this cut her hand on the clipboard changes position - easy to spot due to the logo pattern. (00:30:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Flamenco lesson after Julie's fierce belch. Pablo says "Stretch with your fingers, make it beautiful"; The girl in brown behind the protagonist is in a part of her rotation blatantly out of continuity. (00:29:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Sylvia is with her coworkers at the pub the day her dad asked the loan to her boss. While Julie is chugging her beer down and everyone is staring at her in disbelief, Sylvia has her own glass on the table, suddenly in front of her lips in the close-up. (00:29:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The father pours champagne into the glass closest to himself, then begins pouring in a glass closer to Sylvia, with the 3 being still closely bundled together. But in the next shot, when he's still pouring, he's doing it in a glass near him, and the first one teleported next to Sylvia. (00:20:40)

Continuity mistake: When Sylvia's dad sends her brother to kick the ball against the drain pipe, the champagne changes position in his hand between shots. (00:19:35)

The Hedgehog (2009)

Continuity mistake: The concierge is trying to come up with a written answer to Mr. Ozu's Anna Karenina. She crumples the first sheet and there's a cut when she tosses it away; the pad changed position and all the other discarded messages are scattered differently between shots. (00:31:30)

Young & Beautiful (2013)

Continuity mistake: The protagonist at the beginning of the movie sunbathes topless.The camera is positioned where the kid is spying her, and in that wide shot she is placing the garment she removed close to her lower half of the body. When he waves his hand casting a shadow over her eyes, the bikini top is in the corner of the towel next to her head. (00:01:20)

Combustion (2013)

Continuity mistake: Ari during the break from the party begins her seductive scheme; posing as a waitress at this guy's own engagement party, she approaches him while he is -for some reason - in the parking lot, makes him smoke a joint for the first time in front of his car, and kisses him - apparently all of this is super easy, barely an inconvenience. When she touches his face, she lowers her fingers from the chin at least 3 times in separate shots when she is whispering things to him. (00:11:50)

Family Weekend mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Emily Smith-Dungy just kicked her bags in the snow. Her neighbour and schoolmate Kat drives by and offers her a ride home.

The Women (2008)

Continuity mistake: Sylvie just managed to dodge Mary's questions about the fact that she's obviously hiding something. The convo shifts on the topic of Meg's father and the possible passing of the torch; Annette Bening's right hand constantly moves between holding one arm of the shades or the glass in the reverse shots. (00:14:30)

The Women (2008)

The Women (2008)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Annette Bening does a Robocop-like scan of the store. She then pulls up her sunglasses. Just before the cut, she pulls her hand back, but in the next shot the glasses are further back in her hair. From there she walks in and a clerk offers her a "facelift in a jar." Watch on the left part of the lane, two women (black short hair, mid-length grey hair) walk in the opposite direction and are already past the clerk. In the next shot, they walk again past the clerk only after a couple seconds and in a different pattern. (00:03:20)
