Everly (2014)

Continuity mistake: Taiko is tased for the first time; in the first shot he reacts making his funny noise with the hands raised halfway to the chest, but in the next close-up the arms are lowered. (01:14:20)

Everly (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Everly seizes the shard uttering the "You branded me like a cow" line, there's a small piece of glass by her hand that wasn't there before and isn't there after. (01:13:55)

1984 (1956)

Continuity mistake: After his meeting with Julia, Winston at home opens the drawer and in a close-up pulls the diary out from under a stack of papers which he lifted with his left hand. The angle changes, and his left hand is on the edge of the drawer, and not supporting the papers any more, nor any paper is visible. There's also a pen on the table that should have been visible before, but wasn't there. (00:36:25)

Everly (2014)

Continuity mistake: The main character is trying to convince her angry Japanese boss/slaver/boss to let her kid go. When he tells her "You WILL die in that room tonight" her left hand is on her thigh in the first shot, her chest in the second. (00:10:45)

Everly (2014)

Continuity mistake: Everly opens the surprise as instructed, and tosses away in horror the lid of the gift box. The lid falls off the armchair, and yet a few seconds later, with nobody else alive in the room and the protagonist that never stopped freaking out on her knees, someone picked it up and it sits by the box. (00:09:30)

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: The blood trickling from Sergeant Howie's mouth in the finale changes length, in particular when he is helpless in a full nelson - in close-up it's almost halved in size.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: When Rowan begins to run away, she has a head start on Howie, but at the first cut he's still leading her with a hand on her back like he was doing when he had just released her.

The Wicker Man (1973)

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: Three women begin to repeatedly prod with sticks Howie dressed as Punch. In the very first shot, the one before they break out from the group to rush him, the natural light is different, as shown by the different angle of the shadows.

Continuity mistake: When Mickey is being interviewed for the yearbook, watch out for students that walk in his opposite direction. There are obvious recycled extras appearing in multiple shots coming from the same direction, such as the blonde with checkered top paired up with a guy in a blue shirt. (00:09:00)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: First game of blackjack. The arm candy brunette whispers to her beau that everything will be fine. The casino guy moves his hand from chin to collar, but in the next shot he's back leaning against his palm with his chin. More of that in the next cut; her hand is on his shoulder, on the table at the cut. (00:30:10)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Flight to Hell mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Janet escorts the two rich clients to their cabin, which happens to be literally next door. Forgetting the fact that it looks nothing like the luxury quarters of a plane, let alone a casino with millionaire bets, she closes the door, but then she comes out of the door that is still open. (00:23:40)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: The position, timing, and persistence of the green lights/auras induced by the 'storm' of green goo appear inconsistent throughout the scene. (00:14:00)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: Janet and the tech guy are copulating on the kitchen counter. We see them through one of the airplane window, then the camera angle changes, and they are doing it with a solid wall as background. (00:13:55)

Flight to Hell (2003)

Continuity mistake: First play, a couple wins $500,000. The flight attendant/croupier puts down 5 piles of red fiches. In the close-up where she completes the action, you can see on the table the glass the woman was drinking from a split-second before, and there's an orange chip that wasn't there. The player at the end of table is also holding his glass with a single hand and not two. (00:09:15)
