Continuity mistake: Sergeant Howie is giving chase to the man wearing the hobbyhorse costume. The guy stops at the end of an alley to be followed. In the next shot, he's standing in a different alley, with different pavement and background.

Continuity mistake: Two agents show up at Professor Wahl's door. Marlan Clark introduces himself taking his sunglasses off with one hand, which becomes two in the reverse shot.

Nanatsu no Taizai - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Elizabeth starts weeping, her bodysuit is torn above her left breast with a single tear. Post-credits Meliodas asks her to join him; now that torn spot is split in two - the first time the bit of fabric that separates the two spaces was already severed. (00:17:40 - 00:22:30)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the establishing continuous shot in the lobby, Bert leans against the desk and whines; "This is the kind of night that gives me the willies." The clerk rolls her eyes; she is holding a note between the two hands and you can see right before the cut that the note stays in her left as she lets go with the right. The new shoot though begins with the note in her right hand. (00:02:45)

The Undefeated (1969)

Continuity mistake: When the Union soldier is reading the note tipping them off about the caravan about to cross the river, he holds the paper with his left hand placed in an entirely different spot even with the cut between shots happening literally mid sentence. (00:31:40)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Misogi, Don't Die - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Misugi's face during his careless last stride has a muddy look. One could think that he's turning blue because his heart is malfunctioning, and he's lacking oxygen. When Takasugi gives chase, he has a muddy face too in a shot as well. They are both clean later.

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Continuity mistake: When Raymond Burr emerges from the door at the beginning of the movie, in the first shot he is in the background while Mrs. Van Gelder is dancing. Notice that the decoration to the left of the door frame casts no shadow, but in the next shot the ambient lights have changed so much that now the hanging sculpture projects a huge one. (00:02:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Sofren looks at his rivals, presented by the writing as scholars from Copenhagen. They are sitting on two benches outside, and the suitcase is directly under the sunlight. A mere moment later he approaches them, and that whole corner is in the shade. The light changes again radically throughout the whole trial scene. (00:04:15)

Fog Island (1945)

Continuity mistake: Doctor Leo sits at the desk and begins writing a letter to Alec Ritchfield. "My dear Alec", it starts. Fade to the finished letter, but you can easily tell that it's not the same letter, the handwriting being different - look at the little flourish below the M, not to mention the position of the text in relation with the Fog Island stamp. (00:08:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the opening conversation between Butcher and his lawyer, the shadows on Lon Chaney Jr. switch place depending on the angle - in the shots with the camera behind him, the bars cast a shadow on his neck and side of the head that is not there in the frontals. (00:01:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Bela Lugosi offers John Berkes a cigar ("a real Havana"), but when he's relaxing, he calls him by his 'street' name, Fingers. The man nervously brings a hand to his collar, but at the cut Fingers' fingers are gone out of frame. (00:06:30)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: While listening to news about the hurricane and the disappearance, Fancy looks at Buddy working in the lawn. She spots him from the curtains as he tosses away a broken piece, but in the following close-up he picks up the bloodstained board by stepping over the bit he already tossed aside. (00:15:35)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Walter pushes his wife against the bedpost. They have their verbal sparring, and then he caresses her. Her hair is spread differently, more abundantly, in front of her right shoulder. (00:14:35)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Fancy opens the decanter and picks it up with her left hand, the lid in her right. She then pours for her husband with the decanter in her right and the lid in her left. (00:11:40)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Fancy does her sexy stroll singing "They Can't Take That Away from Me." She gets to the decanter and with a pop she pulls the lid in a close-up. You can see her motion rattles the leaves of the plant on the table, but in the next shot they are still, as if nothing happened. (00:11:35)

Grand Isle (2019)

Continuity mistake: Nicolas Cage walks Buddy to the fence. He lights up a huge cigar which he holds in the left hand when he asks "Can you fix it?" and that appears in his right in the shot from the doorway. (00:09:10)
