Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Gale dispossesses a girl of her phone and starts arguing with the person on the other side. The girl has a friend to the left of the screen who just before Gale throws the phone back raises his hand. In the next shot his hand is on his knee. (01:03:45)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: The killer asks Randy what's his favourite scary movie; there's a POV of Randy that spots two girls sitting on the lawn. A tree behind them casts a big shadow in their direction, which changes orientation entirely in the shot when he touches the one with the phone. (01:03:10)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Gale, Dewey and Randy stand to go look for the killer who just phoned them. Throughout the earlier part of the scene the background behind David Arquette's close-ups showed the house and ground with a lot of sun filtering from the foliage, and the background behind Jamie Kennedy was much darker, but now you can see even the 'Arquette background' being dusky.

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Nobody moves after taking their masks off and looking at Sidney helpless on the floor. There's a close-up on two guys who take off their mask, one is a robust guy with short hair who removes a bearded old man mask. When Sidney flees, she passes by him, who is not standing close to the other guy anymore. (00:59:25)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Sid is talking to Gus, the drama teacher who is adamant that it's a good idea to put her in a scene with half a dozen masked people play-stabbing her. She says "I'm a fighter", and behind her there are a couple girls making their way through the seats and a guy carrying a drink from the other side. Gus swiftly replies "I didn't hear that", and the camera cuts back to Sid, showing the people who were in transit a split second before already perfectly seated. (00:55:35)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Derek gives Sidney his necklace and the two kiss. He puts his hand on her shoulder, then in the same shot the hand slides down, lower than the elbow. Wide shot, and he's still holding her shoulder. (00:50:00)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: After the meeting with the police chief, Gale asks Dewey to let her help out. During their conversation, the natural light changes wildly depending on the angle; just look at the collar of David Arquette's jacket. (00:45:50)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Trying to kill Sidney, Ghostface plunges into the front door of Delta Lambda a knife that is soaked in blood - even if they already cleaned ACICI's. Derek on the other side of the door looks at a knife that is mostly clean except a couple of tiny specks by the blade, and Ghostface pulls the knife back again bloodstained. (00:39:40)

Continuity mistake: When Makkari brings the kid to safety at the beginning of the movie, a couple of her braids are behind the shoulder in the first shot, and in front of her shoulder in the next. (00:03:40)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: The Ghostbusters pick up the 'symbol' for their fight by looking at the license plate of their Ecto 1A, which sports in close-up the Statue of Liberty right between the O and the 1. Problem is, in the rest of the movie, and that includes just a few shots before when they were blasting the jelly shell with their protons, Lady Liberty is to the left of the plate, before the E.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: When Hardenmeyer is escorted away from the room, the Mayor points his finger at a staffer and tells them to get the Ghostbusters. Another staff member calls his attention, but in that shot we see David Margulies through the window, and he is in a completely different position. (01:22:10)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: When Ray calls New York "a burned-out burg", a group of firemen behind the Ghostbusters is starting a fight. Cut to Ray in close-up and the fun background activity is no more. (01:25:50)
