Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: Whit and Boone are watching the freshly widowed Mrs. Lane and entertain some fine vintage sexist talk about her need for a new man. At the end of it, Boone slaps his buddy with a wet hankie on the cheek and it limps on the shoulder. James Coburn laughs and squeezes his buddy's gift tight in hand, but in the next shot it is back on his shoulder. (00:41:35)

Continuity mistake: When Whit helps Boone to shave, he holds the mirror by the left or right corner depending on the camera angle. (00:40:00)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: The numbers of the Mescalero raiders that attack the party change repeatedly throughout the scene. There are 10, Ben shoots one down, there are still 10 when he drops another one, he kills a third, still 10 attack, and so on. (00:28:30)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Factual error: When Mrs. Lane screams at the sight of the horse, on the back of Karen Steele you can see the outline of a modern bra under the shirt. (00:23:30)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: The party decided to leave the station. Brigade sets the horses free. Mrs. Lane has something to say about it; as she calls Brigade by name, Boone in the background turns around between shots. (00:20:15)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: At night, Boone tells Ben the reason of his presence in that part of the country. As he is about to leave and Ben calls him by name, he is holding the ladle in opposite directions between shots. (00:19:35)

Continuity mistake: Once the coach crashed into the fence, the right arm of the dead driver changes position between shots. (00:12:30)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: Mrs. Carrie Lane puts some respect in the rough cowboys with her rifle. As Boone moves towards her and asks for Ben Brigade for some moral support, the horse Billy John is on moves away from the other horse quite a bit. The horse is back in line at the cut. The natural light also changed. (00:11:05)

Super Robot Wars V

Character mistake: One of Jamie's lines against the Para-mails is "Even a beautiful machine can be spoilt when a harlot is at the controls." She says that line even against Tusk's, the one (unambiguosly) male pilot of that kind of vehicle.

Super Robot Wars V

Character mistake: One of the possible lines the AI units have facing Getter Robot is "Confirming unit that uses Getter Rays." It's the other way around; 'confirming THAT (the) unit uses Getter Rays'.

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: When Chaney takes care of the 'in-betweens' at the end of the movie, the light is different in the separate angles with James Coburn holding the money, and so is the angle the bills are tilted at. (01:29:20)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: Before the final fight, the bad guys come out of the room at the top of the oyster plant office building. They release Speed and he walks towards the stairs. The evil enforcer Street comes out of the door in the first shot, walks a few steps, then in the next wider angle we see Speed walking down the stairs but Street is still inside and comes out only a moment later. (01:20:35)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: Speed has the loan shark at his neck. The night after they damage his car, he is waiting Poe and Chaney at the dock. There is a car behind him, and the people by the vehicle change between shots. (01:04:05)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: When Poe is trying to impress his rather unflappable date referencing the more famous eponymous Edgar Allan, she holds the glass of wine at different height when she sighs that she surely will hear about it, and Poe's gesticulating leaves his finger raised or lowered depending on the shot. (00:55:35)

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Irwin Ingham's big scarf is wrapped around his neck in ever-changing fashion as it can be spotted looking at the striped area being at different height each time. (00:03:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Sammo Hung just left the bus to ride the bike with his cousin Jenny. They ride talking about Stallone and the USA, and the boxes of Nike shoes are tied to his bike differently when they arrive compared to when they started. (00:23:00)

Hard Times (1975)

Continuity mistake: Pettibon's fighter tries to cheapshot Chaney at the very beginning, but Chaney has none of it and counters. Cut to a longshot, and you can see that Gayleen who was clinging to Speed's arm is nowhere near, and Speed himself holds the coat and hat in a much different way. (00:33:55)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: The protagonist is puzzled by the sight of many people looking at the sky. When she decides to pull over and figure out the reason, the kids that were playing soccer in the lawn have changed position between shots. A much bigger inconsistency happens a minute later, when the eclipse obscures the sky (with a rather lo-tech effect that borders on being a revealing mistake itself), the kids have stopped playing ball, but in a longshot they are still shown playing. (00:03:00 - 00:04:15)

Hard Times (1975)

Revealing mistake: After Pettibon strong-arms the protagonists out of the bet, Chaney makes a cryptic proposal to Speed, about driving around and seeing the sights. There's a shot of the car that not only feels 'off' because it's sped up, but also sees the stand-in for Poe and the one for Chaney have swapped position. (00:37:00)

Hard Times (1975)

Factual error: To get back the money they (il)legitimately won, Chaney fights with Pettibon's men inside a bar. They brawl near a pinball machine identifiable as a modified version of "Majors - 1941" (you can see its logo distinctly), which was manufactured, obviously, in 1941. The movie is supposed to be set in 1933. (00:37:10)
