Baby's Day Out (1994)

Continuity mistake: When Brian Haley absolutely decks Joe Pantoliano with a smack to the back of the head, the delighted baby is shown in two close-ups. In the second he is not in the same spot (look at the cloth behind his head) and his hair is combed differently across the forehead. (00:17:20)

Continuity mistake: Visiting the prostitute scarred with the sharpened coin, Rizzo looks at her in her hospital bed. In her close-up she is holding the bed sheet with both hands, but in the wider views before and after, nothing of the sort happened, her hands were off the sheets. (00:18:00)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: Stu just picked up Vic and he needs to do a U turn; first time we see the street there's just a parked car and no incoming vehicles from the worksite, but all of a sudden one appears for the rest of the scene, honking at Stu as he struggles with the maneuver. (00:17:10)

Ranma ½ (1989)

Akane no shitsuren datte shouganai janai - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Once she has smashed the bricks and leans against the wall, Akane's projected shadow in the close-up does not show the head, while in the wider shot with Ranma's shadow appearing, the head is very visible, at almost the same level as the hand's and close by. (00:20:00)

Shaft in Africa (1973)

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of the lion looking at Shaft, the light of the scene is entirely different, plus he is also turned differently and with its tamer behind it when he was just a moment before leaning on the pillar. Despite being still, the lion moves around. (00:32:00)

Shaft in Africa (1973)

Continuity mistake: After killing Marco Sassari, Shaft goes back to the corpse of Kopo. He finds him lying down with his arms close to the body and a blood splatter all over the mouth and right side of the shirt. But he died with the arms spread and no blood from his mouth. (00:56:55 - 00:59:15)

Ranma ½ (1989)

Asobi ja nainoyo gakkou wa - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Kuko freaks out in class hearing that Akana is Ranma's fiancée. The clock in class points at 8:05, an impossible time (school begins at 8:30) and dissonant with the time shown by the clocktower in the shot of the rain stopping (which pointed at minute 45). (00:19:10)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

Continuity mistake: When the three stooges are about to jump from their hideout's roof, in the shot from behind Eddie has just one foot on the cloth placed on the edge of the building, while with the camera in front he has both feet on it, and Veeko's right foot fits too. (00:26:50)

The Kidnapped Prime Minister - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At Scotland Yard, Poirot is readying the glasses for the moment when Japp will pass him the paper he's reading, about the driver. When the view switches, his hands, that were above the desk level, start off from underneath the desk. (00:33:35)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

Continuity mistake: Veeko sits on a bench to scream in pain after the gorilla's less than friendly actions. In the background you can see the cleaning cart with the mop placed against the brick wall. In other angles the mop is against the doorframe instead. (00:49:10)

Shaft in Africa (1973)

Continuity mistake: Shaft is asking his charming teacher to shoo the jolly giant while they "get down to the finer strokes." He has a closed fist on top of the sofa, but a different hand pose with the thumb and index outstretched over the corner in the next shot. (00:23:35)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: Driving to Koreatown, Stu is trying to strike up conversation with Bautista. In some shots he has the sun on his shoulder, in others he does not. And it always changes between shots, never during a single time when the camera holds the same view. (00:18:00)

Kiss the Girls (1997)

Continuity mistake: Watching the two guys spar in the gym, Kate in one shot (when the red shirt guy is finishing his punch combo and backs off to load the kick) is leaning on the railing, arms crossed. In every other shot she is standing, hand on her hip. (00:22:00)

Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: Stu messes up with Amo's Twitter at 5:37 PM. A few minutes pass and the shootout ensues. At the end of it, over in just a handful of minutes, it shouldn't be more than 6 PM, if at all. And yet the boss receives the text message at 7:29 PM. (00:48:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the meeting, Connor says to Jack "I thought you said WE should kiss." The lady to the right of Cybil has her hand under the table, but in the next shot when Jack "No"s him, she is scribbling on the notepad, on the table. (00:35:00)

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the opening credits, there is a close-up of the model boat pushed forward. It passes by a kid who is hunched over, hands on his thighs. Wider shot, and the kid just watches the sailboat pass by standing apathetically. (00:02:15)

Captain Marvel (2019)

Continuity mistake: Going through the old file about Carol's case at the end of the movie, Fury reaches for her picture, which is turned 90° to fit in the folder (being horizontal) but at the cut the picture is already oriented correctly for him to look at. (01:52:20)

Double Sin - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: In the car chase, when the woman turns to check the police behind them, the close-up on the steering wheel does not match the position of her hands before and after. Similarly her passenger has the right hand visible when it shouldn't be. (00:28:45)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

Continuity mistake: From the kitchen table, Veeko tosses Baby Bink's storybook to Norby. He is tossing it with the back of the book on the left of the screen. When Joe Pantoliano catches a book tossed from stagehands, the book is turned the other way around. (00:20:05)
