Continuity mistake: When the girls go find Megan crying after the first traumatic office encounter with Brigitte, her toenails are a natural pink. Moments later in the break room (and the rest of the game) they have the same black varnish as her fingernails.

Lupin the 3rd (1971)

Continuity mistake: When Dr. King asks Poirot why would the culprit, of all people, kill Mrs. Boynton, Lennox next to her has her fingers crossed together, but in Poirot's reply he has the closed fist against the palm, and his wife's position is different as well. (01:35:05)

Sammo

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Carbury asks Poirot "Do you reaaaally believe all that?" as he reads Dr. King's testimony about the shooting, Peter Ustinov's hand is up to his breast pocket in a shot, down the side in the next. (01:17:50)

Appointment With Death mistake picture

Continuity mistake: With Dr. King at his side, Poirot waves hi to Hassan, the 'Arab boy'. The position of Poirot's hat and cane is different in the two shots; in front of him, or down his left hip. (01:14:55)

Continuity mistake: One of the menacing individuals behind Dr. King is wearing a keffiyeh that obscures his face entirely. The loose part down his chest is in a different position in the widest shot when they back her against the wall. (01:17:05)

Continuity mistake: Colonel Carbury is getting a tongue-lashing from Lady Westholme. He picks the cup of tea from his attendant, with the right hand, and the receiver is on his left hand. Camera cuts away for one second on Lauren Bacall, and then in close-up the colonel is holding the phone with his right hand, immediately switching to the left. (01:14:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Poirot confronts Carol inside the cave. When she says that "In the morning the whole thing seemed ridiculous" there's a quick reaction shot on Ustinov, and the bottom strap connected to the glasses tucked inside his breast pocket runs a few inches above his waistcoat, across the shirt; in the rest of the conversation it practically touches the waistcoat. (01:09:05)

Continuity mistake: When Poirot leaves Carbury to go question the two remaining Boyntons, the military vehicle he gets on has a different serial number than the one he steps out from. (01:07:15)

Continuity mistake: Dr. King reacts with a big laugh at Poirot's insinuation that Raymond could have decided to kill his mother. In the longshot though you can spot both characters in the crowd, and they are simply walking side by side. In the closer view, Sarah King is facing Poirot. (00:51:35)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: Trying to escape the demon dog, Tully trips over a chair and bangs against the windows of the restaurant. You can see in the first shot that the maitre d' (the guy with grey hair and stache, wearing black) is looking at him. But in the reverse shot, he's smiling at the patrons at the table, and only a moment later raises his head to check out what the fuss is about. (00:54:35)
