Continuity mistake: Salma Hayek comes out of a Rolls; keep an eye at the area between doors, right next to the rope. During the brief cut on Brosnan putting down his helmet, a woman with a greenish-black dress is leaning against the wall as if she's been there the whole time. (00:06:05)

Continuity mistake: In bedroom the Thursday morning they are about to meet her sister, Jessica Alba leans in to kiss Pierce Brosnan. He begins quoting Hamlet, Alba's hair is cascading in front of the left shoulder with very little down her back. Close-up on Brosnan and a thicker mass of her hair is present, less sparse than it was before. (00:05:05)

Continuity mistake: During the initial briefing, the digital clock initially points the time pretty accurately, but then gets stuck on minute 56 for way too long; it's at 12:56:35 when they whip out of the drug lord's folder, 20 seconds of dialogue elapse till the clock is shown again at 12:56:47, another 25 before it gets to 12:56:55, and about 40 seconds before it gets to...12:56:56. And barely 30 seconds pass before Estrada arrives, at exactly 1 o' clock. (00:12:30 - 00:14:30)

Slamma Jamma (2017)

Continuity mistake: Michael sets foot into the church and meets Pastor John Soul. John has a clipboard in his left hand, as well as his glasses, as he says "But the doors of this church are always open to you." He opens his arms and the glasses are in the left hand. However in the wider shot that follows ("But, if you are looking for redemption...") here's the Pastor with the glasses in his right hand. (00:27:05)

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The game begins and ends in the same room, with the sleeping princess Zelda. There is a difference though: in the beginning she is on a bed sided by 2 braziers, which are gone in the ending - that's because they are an addition for the NES version. The 'in-game' version of the room was extended with columns all the way, and added those braziers. The ending loads the original Famicom Disk System version of the room, without them.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: While Jim is narrating his story, he gets to the point when his son was hit by a drunk driver. The line slows down, but when it cuts to a close-up of Renée Zellweger saying "Sorry Jim", you see the trays shift. Only, they are back in the exact same spot as before when the close-up is over. (00:28:20)

The Illustrated Man mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Carl lets his dog out of the bag, in the close-up there's a shadow on Rod Steiger's boot, and a shadow of something or someone standing between him and the camera: both are gone in the following shot, when the dog runs across the lawn (and 'knocks aside' the camera). (00:08:20)
