Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: Jennifer is reading the fax page using her flashlight; without moving her hand, she holds the sheet by the top corner at first, then in the bottom half. (00:44:25)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: Stone falls face down in front of the entrance, his arms raised forming (very roughly) right angles. When Dewey screams to the others to get inside, Stone's left-hand touches his head. (00:43:45)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: Steven Stone picks a few coins from Dewey's counter. You can see that there are 5 left in the wide shot, but only 4 in close-up. (00:42:10)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: Confronted by the cops, the director says "I did not call Sarah Darling." In the background, look at the dark-haired extra that joins the other two by some stage equipment. A couple of cuts later she's just walking by them. (00:35:10)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: When the cops go talk with Roman to ask him about his meeting with Sarah Darling, you can notice that Jennifer's bodyguard grew longer sideburns in the space of minutes since the scene at the house. Noticed by producer Marianne Maddalena on the DVD commentary track, and apparently they had some talks on set about that. (00:35:00)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: After the scene with Posh Spice's former bodyguard giving 'Dewdrop' a piece of his mind, we see the detectives at work. The hands in close-up hold one of the photos by the bottom, but in the wider angle detective Wallace is holding them by the sides. (00:33:45)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: After her dad visited her bringing her the essential dose of squashes, Sidney is sleeping on the couch. To get to her, the camera pans across a side table where there's a headset in front of a photo of Sid and her mom. Close-up on the photo, and the headset changed position as you can see from the colorful book it is resting on. (00:20:40 - 00:22:00)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: When Gale stumbles into Dewey for the first time, the camera is behind her and as he mutters "Gale" you can see her shoulder, which is clear from any hair. Next view, and her shoulder is a big messy wig salad. (00:16:40)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: When Peter gets slimed, the very marketable goo stains his uniform completely messing up the right half of his chest. In the ballroom scene the uniform is practically clean on that side, but got dirtier over the left shoulder.

Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: When Venkman radios Ray to tell him about the ghost, look at the cart in the background when Ray answers; the mess does not look the way it looked in the earlier close-up; there's less stuff on the partially knocked down scaffold and the table ricocheted away from the wall but here the flowers are back on it. (00:33:20 - 00:33:45)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: Gale Weathers just finished her speech, and David Arquette's brother in the audience asks her a question. Of course, they are out of time, and he's silenced with applause. People start leaving their seats, but the people standing don't match in the reverse shot. (00:11:55)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: For a moment, Cotton seems to have the upper hand against Ghostface as he pushes a bookcase on him. He eyes the golf club trying to take it back; in two consecutive shots though, you can see a Vance Bourjaily book (it should be "Now Playing at Canterbury" but you can only see the back cover) that faces opposite directions. (00:09:00)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Cotton shoots the killer, who when lying down has a giant hole in their throat. It wasn't there when both the killer and Sidney were falling backwards. (01:48:40 - 01:49:05)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Sidney incredulously asks "Mrs...Loomis?" her left hand is raised at shoulder level, but her arm is straight in the next shot. (01:40:20)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Mickey grabs the gun after the 'pillar fight', he holds it straight in the first shot, gangsta-style sideways in the next. (01:39:35)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Mickey and Sid at the beginning of their struggle end up facing each other with a Greek pillar between them. The position of their hands changes between shots, literally touching at some point depending on if Olyphant's hand is higher or lower. (01:39:25)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Sid and Allie start freeing themselves from the wrecked police car, the metal pipe left a tiny hole in the grid, which is immediately larger in the next shot. (01:28:15)
