Continuity mistake: Lotte is in her room looking at the checklist for the parade. The size and angle of the quill pen change every time there's a cut. (00:14:40)

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning, two dumb kids looking for drugs are forced to make a spontaneous donation to the cult. Before the stream starts the pink polo one does not have the scooter on his shoulder, which is back when the stream starts, then off again.

Sweet Deception (1998)

Sweet Deception mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Annie Girardot and Murray Head are playing with the cake dough and playfully hit and splatter each other. Between the various takes, Annie Girardot gets some cleaning done, because she had hair and coat all messy midway through, but is much cleaner when that part of the scene is a wrap and the story moves on; the hair (she had an egg cracked on her head) is fine and the coat that had streaks of cream on the lapel is almost spotless. (00:25:20)

Continuity mistake: In the temple, while Muten Roshi and Yamcha are by Goku, Bulma and sifu Norris are by Chi Chi. She moves a bit then is unconscious, in the background. Her arms go limp with the palms up. As Roshi inhales. Chi Chi is lying with the palm down. Later in the scene the arm is back on her lap and slipped down the shot that follows. (00:59:55 - 01:01:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Bulma and Yamcha are bonding, right at the beginning they go up some stairs. There are some extras that are descending, and are pretty characteristic; one has a blue hat, one a white fisherman hat and a yellow shirt, and the third a white tunic with a peculiar pattern. Yamcha and Bulma talk a bit, and while they do, there's a brief cut to one of the salesmen downstairs. And guess what? Walking down the stairs by him there's the aforementioned trio of extras, walking down that same flight of stairs as before. (00:50:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Goku is called back to life with the Kamehameha, he screams. You can see, next to Justin Chatwin's head, master Roshi's knee. Couple shots later, both Chow Yun-Fat and Chatwin let go and drop on the floor, but the knee is still where and as it was in the new close-up. (01:00:00)

Continuity mistake: Jane is back at the dinner table after supposedly recovering from her illness. In the wide shot of the room, Mrs. Bennet says "I know of no-one who is coming." Mr Bennet at the other end of the table is sitting back, hands off the table. But, he answers in a close-up, where he is buttering his toast. (00:32:35)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: Vic's colleague brings him the plate with the tiniest piece of cake, the red fork switches side between shots (it also gets upright in the next shot 'stabbing' the cake instead of lying on the plate, but that could have been done by her out of frame, even if it's not a gesture that makes a lot of sense). (00:08:55)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: In the sequence when Vic trips on the camping tent and Stu pummels him with feminism, different takes have been used, and you can easily tell the objects on the ground change place, generally consistent with each angle. For instance, all the shots from a certain angle have a certain frying pan directly in front of the counter where Stu was lying down, but are gone in the others. (01:01:00)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Stu throws baseball bats at Vic, the type of bat he's holding change more than once between shots. When Vic asks for a time out, for instance, Stu has a metal bat with a black handle that turns into a full wood one in the side view (also with the grip switched from the very bottom to a few inches higher), and then back to metal. (01:00:00)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: In his escape from the cops at the beginning of the movie, we see Iko Uwais drop down 2 floors from the 8th, where Bautista and Gillan are. One more in the overhead POV. Another one in a separate shot. Another shot again, another floor down. Then he drops another floor. Then Batista hits him with the tray making him fall 2 floors, but we see with that shot the difference between the two, and it's of 5 floors. It does not add up. (00:03:35 - 00:04:20)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: In the first confrontation with Tedjo, he kicks away Vic's glasses (obviously from the wrong distance, as there's no way that kick would connect) and they fight some more. When Vic misses with his punch, Tedjo kicks him in the chest, doing it with the left foot, that becomes the right foot in the following shot. (00:02:00)

Stuber (2019)

Stuber mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene when Angie tells Vic about the Feds taking over the case, Vic's paperwork (the mugshot, the photo) change spot a few times. When Angie stands from the desk, Tedjo's mugshot is on Vic's cake's platter, even, but it's nice and clean back on the folder right after. (00:10:00)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: Vic is chatting with her daughter at the Chinese restaurant. He tells her to stop breathing (the way she does it, at least). Cut to a brief reverse shot when she is eating from the chopsticks; she is replying to him immediately, mouth completely free. In that spot of the convo you can pick up more inconsistencies, like the hair on/off her shoulders, and next Batista's chopsticks held up that disappear during the following cut. (00:13:25)

Captain Marvel (2019)

Continuity mistake: Fury pets Goose when he first meets it; his right hand has a habit of being in inconsistent positions between shots (Goose paws his hand down but it's still up after the cut; Vers calls him by name and in the close-up he has both hands on the furry neck of the critter, only to be shown with the right hand down at the cut). (00:45:48)

Captain Marvel (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Carol asks "Arm wrestle for the tesseract?" Minn-erva in the background is holding her gun at a different angle than the previous shot. Following that, Bron-Char (the big white bearded Kree) assumes battle stance at least 3 times in different shots, at first reacting to Carol flipping on her feet (but looking composed in the next shot), then shown with his fist stretched out, then shown in the process of stretching said fist out. (01:33:33)

Captain Marvel (2019)

Continuity mistake: The Supreme Intelligence has a worried expression when Carol gets close, and drops the energy beam that was not working. However, inexplicably she's smiling once Carol rips the control device from her neck, before switching back to the kind of "Oh no" face she had before. (01:31:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Second part of the conversation when Emma right away spills the 'secret' to Lissy; forgetting the fact that they both have refills for their drink (we just assume they had one off-camera not shown), the wine in Lissy's glass changes level from shot to shot several times (for instance when she listens to Emma once she answered about the dead guy it empties in mid-air, or when she suggests to "do it at work", the glass is refilled in the reverse shot). (00:23:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the business meeting with Emma's boyfriend talking about Millenials, when he says "Your Grandpa is not our target demographic", keep an eye on the woman with the shaven head; she is playing with her pen in Emma's reaction shot but her hands are perfectly calm and flat on the table in the shots before and after. (00:33:55)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

Continuity mistake: Eddie falls from the roof and breaks his fall on a window-mounted air conditioner. In the close-up through the window, no cable can be seen behind Joe Mantegna's head (supposed to be there as he took it down with his crotch earlier), but it is there in other shots. (00:27:00)
