Continuity mistake: When Legate parries the slap by Alva, his wristwatch says it's about half past midnight. But it was half past already in the kitchen scene, 10 minutes earlier in the movie - so even longer in real time. (00:28:10)

The African Queen (1951)

Continuity mistake: Everything is suspiciously dry under the little makeshift tent Rose closed with her clothes, including the floor she sleeps on. When she opens the umbrella to repair Mr. Allnutt, it's wet already. (00:37:05)

Lucifer (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Alva gets in the kitchen during the birthday party, Owen has not yet touched the chicken, but he's conveniently got a big mouthful of a drumstick in the next close-up, for comedy effect. (00:16:50)

Bird on a Wire (1990)

Continuity mistake: The cop giving chase to Rick and Muffy can't stand being stuck at the railway crossing and takes off. On the sidewalk, a little family (dad mom and baby in a stroller) has suddenly appeared. (00:40:20)

This Property Is Condemned mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Alva tells Willie the story of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis cupping her face. The handkerchief sticks out quite a bit in the wider shot but is neatly contained in her hand in the close-up. (00:20:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the whole conversation with her mom at her bedside, Alva's head in the close-ups is resting in a different spot than the wider shots - just look at the colored cloth under her head. (00:29:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Alva walks Owen out of the railway office. They pass by JJ and the local manager sitting in the street having their lunch, but in a POV shot that follows, they have yet to move past them. (01:00:00)

This Property Is Condemned mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the night club, when Alva faces her Mama hitting her hands away as she invites JJ to dance, she has her left arm down in the wider shots, but stretched out of frame in the closer view. (01:22:25)

This Property Is Condemned mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Alva 'mistakenly' enters Owen's room. In the side views showing both characters, Robert Redford's hand is on his belly, while shot from the other side his hand rests on the mattress. (00:25:10)

This Property Is Condemned mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Alva is listening to Mr. Johnson's proposal to get her a place of her own in Memphis, she does it with her left arm lowered, or up like she had it in the first part of the scene. (01:20:40)

The African Queen (1951)

Continuity mistake: Rose calls a drunk Charlie "a coward." He turns around, and you can see the difference in the way he wears his ascot, way wide on his right side of the neck, as opposed to before. (00:42:10)

Bird on a Wire (1990)

Continuity mistake: During the mistaken cash withdrawal at the teller, the lady descending the stairs in the background is at a different height in the different shots. (00:50:40)

Continuity mistake: When Diggs gets locked In the lion's cage, the light and shadow areas in the cage keep changing at every shot. (01:36:30)

The Dream - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Poirot stands as his employer sends him packing, the shadow projected on the back wall is taller than the cupboard by a good margin, roughly from the shoulders up. In the close-up that follows, Poirot is standing in the same spot when he replies "I shall not fail to do so", but the shadow is shortened considerably. (00:14:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Digger blocks the odd karateka fellow and pins him by the door. His hand goes from the wall, to inside the door opening between shots. Similarly, as he is talking, the camera is on Ed, who holsters (with some kinda out-of-character difficulty) his gun and places a hand on his belt, only to have the same arm fully relaxed down his side in the following shot. (00:24:55)

The King of Clubs - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: As Poirot, holding the family picture, turns around to ask Mrs. Oglander about the kids in the portrait, he suddenly has his finger near the middle of the frame, much higher than before. It keeps going up and down during the conversation. (00:36:40)

Sammo

The King of Clubs - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Ralph Walton flubs the line and breaks character walking off set: he begins undoing his collar. He repeats the same action ('begins' to undo it) next time the camera is on him, and during a cut when he is in frame both shots, his hands jump off/on the collar. (00:04:35)
