Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: When the possessed Dana asks Peter for the second time "Are you the Keymaster?", Peter comes in; notice that Sigourney Weavers' left hand is still at the top of the doorframe, in the reverse shot it's suddenly down. (00:56:10)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: When Dana struggles with the literal arm-chair, one of the arms pops out of the top of the right armrest and a clawed hand clutches Sigourney Weaver's face. Change of camera angle, and not only she is struggling against the demonic limb in a different position, but the hole is gone from the top of the armrest, the arm is sticking from the side. (00:51:45)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: Dana gets home and puts down on the table the paper bag with food and her coat as she answers the phone. She takes her shoes and pants off and the camera cuts away to a different angle where the coat and the paper bag have changed position. (00:51:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Poirot is in colonel Carbury's office to convince him not to rule the death as natural. He tells Carbury that he will tell him who the culprit is. Carbury is holding his glass with both hands, but in the next shot as he asks "Well, how long will it take?" the glass is in his right hand since the left hand is busy supporting him against the chair. (00:48:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Poirot asks Sarah King if the bottle of digitalis in her bag was empty. In the wide angle his index finger is placed on the neck of the bottle, it's much lower in the close-up. (00:47:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After 'behaving like a man' kissing without consent, Raymond says bye to Sarah; he says "There's something I have to say, and do, to prove you that..." The shadow cast on her chest changes as the camera angles change, on and off her necklace. (00:43:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Raymond invites Dr. King at the postprandial trek, his hand is right next a large crease on the towel, completely ironed out when the angle changes. (00:41:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Poirot waves goodbye from Carbury's car as they leave for a tour of Acre. Sarah King waves back. Behind her in the background David Soul is at his own table, sitting staring ahead. Cut to Emily suggesting everyone to go for a walk; Soul is standing, wearing his hat already and facing the other direction. And it's a shot supposedly in continuity, because the same extra is walking outside the tent in both. (00:40:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Raymond timidly approaches Dr. King at the buffet of the Qumran campsite. A local with a big turban walks behind them right to left to grab something behind the watermelon. Cut to a different angle for a couple seconds, and when we're back to the first, the same extra repeats the exact same movement. (00:38:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Carol sits down with Dr. King and begins explaining what was her mother did for a living before her marriage. King listens to her with her hands on her knees, which turn into clasped hands at the cut. She then listens leaning her chin against her fist, and under certain camera angles the hand stays there even when she changes position. (00:31:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Freshly arrived to the hotel in Jerusalem, Dr. King looks down from the balcony and spots Raymond eating something at the table with his family. In the next shot, he's not munching anymore, and he's already smiling at her. (00:28:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the beatdown, Cope clutches in hand his ill-advised gift to Nadine as he says "It was just a figure of speech." It's closed, but when he gets up it's open. (00:23:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Lennox pulls out of his jacket the infamous cigarette case. In the reaction shot, Carrie Fisher's fingers are curled, in the wider angle they are straight along her cheek. Notice in this shot also Carol, with her arms down her sides. Next shot and she has her hands clasped. (00:23:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Emily picks Jefferson's glass, she is holding the bottle of expensive champagne at the bottom of the cloth, and at the top in close-up. (00:22:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: On the ship, Emily plans to kill her lawyer who just left her cabin. She holds the bottle of heart medicine, and in close-up the fingers are positioned differently on it. (00:20:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Emily Boynton tells her lawyer to stop the affair with her daughter-in-law and leave. He threatens her (not quite clear with what) and tells her "I want those children of yours to have a chance." Notice Emily's shadow, perfectly clear under the window. Next shot, and there's no shadow. (00:19:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Dr. King approaches Poirot with the scopolamine syrup, in close-up Ustinov's hand is a bit lower on the glass, and, the woman in the background, who had her hand up, has it down; not that she has a choice, since you can tell she is forced to keep firmly her hand down her side to hold in place her skirt (the wind would otherwise make it flap around all over the place). (00:17:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Nadine tells her husband Lennox that they should disappear when they hit Jaffa. Lennox asks her "What do we use for money", his left arm folded, hand up. Close-up, and it's hanging all the way down. (00:17:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Poirot moves across the beach volley (ship volley?) court, a girl in an ample blue skirt is moving left to right towards him, and is completely gone at the cut. (00:16:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Poirot's stomach is upset by the effluvia of the 'dead duck' that some random prankster exposes in front of him. Visible fumes are in front of Peter Ustinov, immediately gone in the wider angle. (00:14:25)
