The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: Jackson heads out of his apartment forgetting the dusters on top of the TV. In the first shot the TV guide is open, it is closed on the close-up. (00:11:55)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: When March nearly kills himself punching the door, the hole in the glass changes between shots; there's next to no glass left at the top of the panel he punched, then it grows back a couple inches. (00:09:50)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: Jackson Healy takes the envelope from Amelia and begins counting the money. She eases the grip on the wheel in the side view, but she's again clenching it tight in the frontal view. Moreover, when he tells her she's short, she has just one hand on it; cut away a second, and she's again with the same grip as the previous part of the scene, showing two separate takes edited together. (00:07:50)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: The 'big boy' goes to check the car that crashed through his house. He leans against a plain spot on the car's door, but in the next shot he does it gripping the bottom tray. (00:02:25)

The Tiger Mask (2013)

Continuity mistake: In the opening, one of Tiger Mask's first moves involves him doing a somersault off his big opponent. He lands at a different distance in the two shots, however. (00:02:20)

Continuity mistake: When Tuba 'possessed' by Rambo sprints towards the bad guy for the final clash, the items on the desk in the room with the money change placement between shots (look at the green jar, for instance, or when Tuba gets knocked down again and jumps over the desk, which at that point has on it just a book that turns and shifts in the reverse shot). (01:24:00 - 01:25:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the battle against the opponent armed with a hook, Cheung tries to jump on him when he's on the ground, but the guy sends him back with both feet into a bunch of fruit boxes. Cheung knocks most of them down, but in the POV shot of the villain when he looks for him, a few boxes are back where they were. (01:23:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During 'part 2' of his fight, Cheung gets grabbed by his opponent by the jacket; he holds him in a different spot between shots. (01:22:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Tuba musters some courage and rushes to help Cheung, he tackles the villain in two completely different trajectories in the two shots. (01:20:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: A fight ensues inside the market; Tuba watches the two baddies ganging up on Cheung and kicking him through a stack of baskets and some boxes of fruits. Cheung in the first shot is crashing on a box of apples which becomes a box of oranges in the next one. It does not add up. (01:20:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the gang member puts the citrus on top of the money, the box he uses as a lid has an orange band on it, and it's on the left half. When the boss grabs the box, the orange line is on the other half. When he bumps into Tuba, he's carrying a different box without the orange band. (01:19:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the food market, the henchman brings the suitcase to his accomplice, who touches the suitcase towards the corner. In the reverse shot, his hand is in a different position more towards the center. (01:18:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The combative henchman who had the shootout with Cheung throws the suitcase on the speedboat and then throws himself on it; in the first shot he jumps facing the ship and holding to it with his left arm, in the reverse shot he's facing the other way and using his right arm. (01:18:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the dinner shenanigans, the mischievous ghost grabs Tuba's hand and forces him to do bad things with the cake. In the close-up when he picks the cake up though, there are not just Tuba and Rambo's hand, but a third hand too. (01:09:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Joanne's father sits down with Tuba, in the closer shots his tie creases very in the middle, but wasn't that way in the wide angle. (01:04:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When somehow Tuba manages to ask Joanne out, he at first tries to come up with excuses and talks to himself. She overhears him and folds her arms; the way the arms cross changed after it cuts away for a second. Even more noticeably, throughout the conversation she holds the clipboard with a sheet that goes across or does not, depending on the camera angle. (00:51:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Tuba and Cheung's partner and bait tells them that they have to arrest anyone who dares to come close to her. During the scene you can see the name tag is heavily tilted under one camera angle, totally straight in the reverse. (00:46:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Standing up, Cheung bumps the rather oddly light desk, and his commander gets his nasal stick up the nostril. Brief cut to Cheung, and the coffee cup which was standing straight earlier toppled with a delayed reaction. (00:44:25)
