The Brass Bottle (1964)

Continuity mistake: Female servants approach the 'table' where the protagonist is having dinner with in-laws and fiancee and sprinkle them with myrrh and frankincense. Continuity mistakes happen at every cut regarding the position of Harold's hands in his lap. (00:45:20)

The Brass Bottle (1964)

Continuity mistake: Harold is holding in his arms the bottle still wrapped as he tells his roomies about the wedding being postponed. In the different shots, the bottle is turned differently - just look at the position of the ribbon. (00:07:35)

The Brass Bottle (1964)

Continuity mistake: During the scene in front of the restaurant (after the VW van takes Harold's parking spot) every cut brings continuity errors in the position of the passersby. The natural light also changes as you can see by the shadow on the sidewalk. (00:27:10)

The Brass Bottle (1964)

Continuity mistake: After Fakrash proposes the partnership in real estates, Harold walks back to the car. Time has passed, because all of a sudden, Fakrash's head does not cast a shadow on his chest like in previous shots. (01:12:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After receiving instructions from Mercusio (when Cross is told to go to the Watergate), agent Ollie McArthur says "okay people, let's move." He says that across two shots; in the first, Monica Potter is distinctly shifting her eyes from looking in front of her to looking to her right, but in the second she is looking straight again, making the lack of continuity quite obvious over such a small detail. (01:03:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jezzie's computer that she used for all her operations has the screen seemingly turned on, always of a bright blue even before Cross actually switches it on. When he looks at the password screen with just 'Administrator' as username, the screen is black, like it is not in any other part of the scene. (01:27:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross just boarded the train. At the entrance, featured prominently, there's a woman with headphones. To the other side, there's an old pudgy man with a beret, and a black guy in a dark brown suit, looking all serious. Morgan Freeman is between these two guys, but in the POV that follows they are both on the same side, in front of him. (01:09:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Dimitri calls Jezzie from the gates of the embassy, and she leaves Cross and the guy talking in Russian to go to him. During the transition, the soldier moving across the gates walks through the same steps he already walked, and the bodyguard in a trenchcoat is in a different position. (00:59:25)

The Double Clue - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: The Countess arrives at the hotel at the beginning of the episode. In the overhead shot she reaches the top of the stairs with nobody close to her, just the porters behind her, but in the next shot there are other people in the lobby, who at the next cut are even closer to her to fit in frame. (00:02:10)

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Poirot pulls out of the drill hidden in the handle, he holds it triumphantly in his right hand. In the next shot he mounts it on the handle starting the motion with the drill already in the left hand and the rest of the gimlet in the right. (00:40:00)

Sammo

The Double Clue - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: At the end of the 'lovely day' with the Countess, Poirot stops a cab and opens the door for her. Just before the cut, notice a woman with a white dress and a brown hat crossing the street in front of the taxi. The extra crosses the street again in the same direction when he says "Oui" in the following shot. (00:28:50)

Sammo

The Double Clue - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: During the exhibition of the much acclaimed contralto, at one point it is shown that Lady Runcorn is going upstairs and is looking at the smoking person. Back to the host who is on his own at his table. At the first cut, suddenly there are more people standing in attendance in the background (pretty much everyone was seated earlier) and his glass has also refilled. (00:10:15)

Sammo

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: During the party, the colonel expresses to Poirot his disappointment for the jazz record being played, music "from the inferior races." He puts a tart in his mouth, closing his lips past the piece of fruit. Cut to the wider shot, and he is still holding a tart that sports the strawberry he just chewed on. (00:19:00)

Sammo

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Poirot enters Japp's office when the inspector is dealing with the tribulations of modern machinery. As Poirot sits down, you can notice the crumpled paper by the phone being different in the reverse shot, when you can also see Japp's hand being at the corner of the typewriter. But he brings it up from his lap in the next shot. (00:38:15)

The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Poirot and Hastings are in front of the corpse at Marsdon Manor. When Miss Rawlinson makes her comment about him taking advice, she is almost with her back against Hastings and in a dramatic light totally different from what shown in establishing shot. (00:17:45)

Sammo

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In the flashback during Poirot's narration, the scene with Colonel Curtisstalking to the victim at the military club happens differently from the first time around, with Clayton switching hand position after a different line of dialogue, starting off in discontinuity with the previous shot (originally the continuity was flawless). (00:44:40)

Sammo

The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: The morning after his arrival at the village, Poirot sits with Hastings for breakfast (prime minister Baldwin is mentioned on the radio). Hastings is holding the newspaper with his left hand and the right is on his knee. New shot and both hands are on the table. It keeps happening during the scene. (00:14:25)

Sammo

The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: The car with Poirot and Hastings enters the village. Right as the camera begins to pan to the left, notice a woman with a maroon tailleur and a powder blue hat. She walks in the same direction of the car but turns around a moment later. Several seconds after, when we see the two protagonists in the car, the same woman can be seen amongst the passersby through the back window. (00:04:15)

Knives Out (2019)

Continuity mistake: Marta picks up the phone at the beginning of the movie. In close-up she is holding it with her left hand, but at the cut it switches to her right hand. (00:03:20)
