Knives Out (2019)

Continuity mistake: The lawyer arrives at the mansion and gives the reading of the will at roughly 10:30 am (it's morning, he says he'll be ready "in 10 minutes" and a few minutes after you can see on the phone Jamie Lee Curtis' character holds in hand that it's 10:16). Marta gets immediately stormed by the angry mob of scorned relatives and escapes with Ransom, who drives her to a little roadside inn. It's not implied that they drove hours, but let's just assume it's noon or even past noon (which already seems a lot). Ransom feeds her beans, and Marta is forced by her odd gag reflex to spill the metaphorical ones. When she has just finished telling him how the "suicide" went... it's pitch dark outside, and at the mansion. (01:02:30)

Winds of War - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: White Base collides with a mountain peak, sending Amuro and Fraw Bow flying. The cargo they were wheeling crashes against the wall. Haro from the top of pile bounces down on a component horizontal on the floor. Another element is leaning against this horizontal block, and the total height is greater than Haro's circumference. But in the reverse shot that diagonal piece is suddenly much smaller and barely reaches half of Haro's height. (00:03:00)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: A horde of policemen makes their way upstairs to the suite, and the inspector seizes the keycard and is about to open the door. He is having some troubles, and Theo points him where he has to slide the card. Once he points though, he moves his arm back. When the camera angle shows them through the open door, Theo is frozen in his pose with the arm stretched out still pointing at the lock. (01:28:50)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: When Owen asks the concierge if he has seen the girl in the photo, the man is holding his hand on the microphone in the reverse shots and isn't in most of the front views. (01:26:15)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Realizing they are missing the necklace, the three girls get on the balcony looking for Riley and staring at the clock. When she says "At noon", Meg is leaning on the railing with the side of her hand, but her hand is in frame in the following shot, flat on the palm. (01:16:20)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Grace is in front of the horse stall after the polo match, closing the door. Her hand is still on the door when she is shot from the front, but both arms are hanging low in the intermediate view with the camera behind her. (01:00:00)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Meg meeting Riley who just changed by the bikes on the promenade, the same couple of extras (woman with a cyclamen dress, a guy in a grey T-shirt carrying a blue towel) walks together when Meg knocks down the vespa, and then seconds later they appear in separate shots, still coming from the same direction as before. (00:46:00)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Meg loses her balance leaning into the Vespa by Riley. She hangs on to him with her hand on his upper arm, his shoulder and nowhere to be seen in the space of three cuts. (00:46:05)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Meg walks away from the other two on the beach. She reaches a step; there's a couple hanging out there. In the first shot the arm of the guy is on his lap, but seen from the front he has the hand on the step he is sitting on, and only then he raises it to his knee. (00:46:05)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: On the beach, Emma makes a bit of a blunder with her "who died" comeback line, and awkward silence falls between the three girls. Grace turns around towards Meg who is leaving. The tip of Selena Gomez's ponytail flips above the shoulder when she turns; in the rest of the sequence some shots have her black hair above the shoulder, others no hair there, everything is behind her back.

Seinfeld (1990)

Continuity mistake: Santa is at the Chicago police station, and the cop enters the room placing a can with his effigy. During the scene, the policeman's hands are close together or far apart depending on the shot. (00:52:00)

Human Capital (2013)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the waiter is wheeling the cart out of the building. Two workers are loading the van, with Saman to order them around. One is wearing a hat, the other isn't. Hatless Guy walks out of the van first and is sprinting back towards the building, with Hat Guy noticeably behind, but in the next shot Fabrizio passes the cart to Hatless Guy and Hat Guy is already way past them both.

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Hugh brings Jay to the edge of the parking lot to show her "it", the naked woman "it" is shaped as is wearing flipflops, which she does not wear when she slowly walks on the platform. Quite the funny little off-camera wardrobe adjustment to make for a zombie-like supernatural entity on a path of death and destruction. (00:20:20)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Hugh turns around to take a look at the audience and spot Jay's pick, in the faraway shot his whole arm goes over the seat, hand with the soda included. The scene continues with the Hugh's drink always next to the popcorn as he is turned to different°. (00:10:30)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: Chilling on the couch watching a movie, Jay's friend farts. Obviously well practiced in the discipline, it takes her merely moments within the same shot to perform the necessary adjustments after the emission and place her index finger back on the dainty seashell lid of her media device. But in the next shot, as she proudly smiles basking in the warm glow of her successful feat, her finger is off the lid. (00:07:00)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: Jay is soaking in the pool. She drowns a bug that is on her arm. Behind her there's a can of soft drink with a straw sticking out and pointing towards the left. It stays that way until she floats on her back and there's a semi-POV shot with her toes sticking out. After that, the straw in the cola can is pointing towards the right for the rest of the scene. (00:05:00)
