The Suicide Squad mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: Waller is telling "Task Force X" about the additional mission they need to pursue, saving Rick Flag. Watch the shot when Bloodsport repeats "Rick Flag?" and Waller replies "I know." The team is going through dense, uninhabited tropical jungle, but in the trees there are people in T-shirts just standing around looking at them. (00:31:50)

Other mistake: Bloodsport and the others see the explosions Harley is running from, which are less than a couple miles off. The beach itself should already be lit by the explosions and burning wreckage, which the team couldn't fail noticing as they were approaching. To make the distances more ludicrous, when we see Flag's signal in the control room it's said he's "1 mile north" of them, He's already halfway towards the western isthmus. No reason why it'd take them a whole day to make it to their destination.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Harley slaps the now dead Javelin in the face asking frantically about his incomplete dying words. Literally one moment her hand is on his cheek, the next is mid-length on the shaft of his weapon. (00:26:50)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Briefing scene, Ratcatcher 2 raises her hand to ask her question. Notice her right hand, open on top of her thigh. Close-up, and her hand is closed and to the inner side of the thigh. The hand is back in its original position when the first angle is used again. (00:23:45)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Peacemaker and Bloodsport are following Amanda Waller through the female section. There are two girls at the table in the center, one with patchwork colorful skin, the other whistling at them. When it cuts to a close-up, neither is in the appropriate position; the whistler's hand dropped and the Kaleidoscope, who already got up, still has her forearms on the table. (00:20:40)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Bloodsport is talking to his daughter about her crime. During the conversation, the continuity between shot and reverse gets jumpy at times; for instance when he mentions that she "dragged out the paternity test" Idris Elba stretches out his arm only to be still when his daughter screams at him. Later on he reminds her he told her to do 'her thing' and gesticulates with the right hand, but his arm is still and low in the next shot. (00:00:17 - 00:16:50)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Other mistake: Javelin already appears amongst the deceased (red layer) on the monitors, but only intermittently, in different shots his status is normal - at the very least he should have the 'critical condition' brown overlay that TDK has. (00:14:00)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: In the suicide mission on the beach, Flag makes a run for it behind Harley who just ducked behind a rock. Harley is in a dark corner; Flag dives by her, and the camera angle changes showing her into the spotlight. Sane later when TDK's arms are floating and pass by them in bright light. (00:09:55)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Amanda Waller told Flag that they cannot retreat from the beach. Harley chirps "Okie dok" as a response; in the first shot she is putting her right hand on the weapon, but in the next she is out of focus in the foreground with the same hand on her earpiece. (00:09:15)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Once he reassured the crew about Weasel, Flag orders everyone to get in the position for the paradrop. He motions towards them bringing his hand down, which is operating a switch above him in the next shot. (00:05:55)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Blackguard is panicking because of 'the werewolf' but Rick Flag interjects that he's 'harmless'. He then has to add that he's not -that - harmless, having slaughtered a couple dozens of kids; when the camera angle changes before he says that, the actors have changed positions. For instance, Margot Robbie had her hands clasped together before her chest, then she has them in her lap. (00:05:45)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: On the way to the airdrop, Blackguard asks the others "Is this thing a dog?" Next to him, TDK has his hand in his lap to a fist in one angle, palm down on his thigh in the next. (00:05:20)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Savant is taking a look at the rest of the team. The blonde Blackguard is goofing off with the guard closest to him as he shimmies. Closer angle, he puts his hand on the gun on his left PC. Next shot, and he's back swaying with both arms down. (00:02:40)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, a goldfinch lands in the corner of the prison courtyard. There's a wet/mouldy area in the corner that is suddenly much smaller in the following close-up. (00:01:10)

Continuity mistake: When the protagonists get in the office to talk to his client at the beginning of the movie, he's holding the bag one way outside the door, the other way around when he walks in.

Kommando Leopard (1985)

Revealing mistake: During the opening assault, notice that the sandbags of the enemy fortifications are more like fluffy pillows; they are squashed under a single person leaning on the bank, and they wobble and nearly fall over when Carrasco himself brushes the hip against them walking by. (00:04:30)

Sammo

Plot hole: During the whole movie, the killer is supposed to wear a mask with the semblance of someone else, but the murder scenes have enough of a bright lighting for us to tell it's a real actor's face. Besides, the eye colours do not match.

Foxtrap (1986)

Other mistake: The end credits are plagued by the biggest compilation of spelling mistakes you'll ever see. The French cast in particular has 2 out of 2 actors with their names wrong (PallarOy instead of PallarDy, a female, Danièle, turned into a male Daniel) and so many errors in the technical cast to make some of them impossible to identify.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie (until Wasson's name appears in the credits), James Madison is writing on a paper copying from a large tome. Two people enter the room carrying a trunk. When he stands to go open the trunk and check its contents we can see that the book is gone from the desk. However, we see it again a minute later...when he picks it from those in the trunk and brings it to the desk. The first shot was a repurposed one. (00:00:50)

Ryeong (2004)

Continuity mistake: When the protagonist goes to the mental institution and meets her former classmate now plagued by asthma and violent overacting, a wisp of hair on the forehead changes position between shots a couple times during the scene without her touching it or moving. (00:46:25)
