Seinfeld (1990)

The Heart Attack - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: The doctor is examining George. George yells into the stethoscope so he takes the buds off his ears. Not just that; he removes the instrument and puts it around his neck. George then freaks out and starts naming various odd and even rather harmless conditions; the doc is wearing the stethoscope again. Flirting with Elaine you can see the instrument sorta shuffles around, with part of it exposed and part of it under the scrubs' collar, now the left side, now the right side. When Jerry breaks off their idyll with the Romeo and Juliet reference, the stethoscope is back around his neck, only to be again in use when George asks "With a knife?" (00:08:00)

Seinfeld (1990)

Continuity mistake: In Berlin, Tim and Dan are having a frank chat about the state of the business once Mike left. The wet stains on Tom Wilkinson' shoulders change throughout the scene - particularly obvious when at the end Dan says "We're gonna get this one, Tim" and he answers with his jacket practically dry. (00:42:30)

Continuity mistake: The day of Sophie's first birthday, just before the arrival of the babysitter the friends are having a toast with juice. When Messer asks "Are you crying? look at the glass in his hand; it's about 1/3 full, same as the rest the scene. Except after the doorbell rings, when Katherine Heigl asks "Why do you need a babysitter?" there's a brief close-up with Messer's chest in frame, and the glass there is about 2/3 full. (00:11:10)

Continuity mistake: In the shot the parents take with her daughter, Messer and Holly when the baby conks Katherine Heigl on the nose, Josh Duhamel's bottle is visible in frame, neck sticking out. Cut, and it's not visible anymore until a couple seconds later, when he is holding it from above. (00:14:20)

The Statue - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Ray, he kisses his fiancée's hand. Elaine in that shot is holding her papers, with the thicker black book closest to her chest. A couple of shots later when he bows to "Jerry, lord of the manor" the books in Elaine's arms have switched position. (00:05:50)

The Statue - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: George had enough of Ray's pawn shop story and jumps up calling him a thief. Watch the couple at the table; the woman, wearing a purple sweater, has her hand on the man's arm in the reaction shot, when nothing of the sort was happening in the wider angle. (00:15:30)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: The brothers in law are shaking hands with Captain Hernandez in front of the district. There's a woman with long brown hair and carrying a purse. She keeps passing them by walking up the stairs, twice with a friend with a purple top, once on her own, and comes down the stairs not too long after. She's not the only extra recycled / passing a few times in succession, for instance a bald black man in a dress shirt. (01:31:20)

The Dilemma (2011)

Continuity mistake: During the chat in the opening credits, Winona Ryder's right hand keeps changing position even when the flow of the conversation is continuous and there's absolutely no room for changes in between shots. When they talk about the crossbow case she even goes from holding a forkful of food, to a glass of wine. (00:02:00)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: For some reason, Olivia Munn decides to go create a distraction dancing with Pope. When she goes down the stairs, two women are ascending, but at the cut an entirely different one is coming up (who was also seen going down just at the beginning of the sequence anyway). (01:02:30)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: Pope stops the trio as they are trying to slip away from his residence during the party. Filmed from behind, he is talking to them being to Ben's right, but filmed from the front, he's positioned between Ben and Maya, to the point that when he walks forward they have to make way splitting left and right. (01:09:50)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: Ben and James have stopped the "ghost" truck. Ben is gloating that it's their "first bust as the Brothers-in-law." Notice the cone of light under the vehicle, at the lower part of the car door. Next shot it's suddenly gone. The side of the pick-up keeps switching between lit or not, and in the last shot from normal height the doors are even fully open. In the aerial shot that comes after, just one door is open and the other closed. (01:16:40)
