Personal Shopper (2016)

Continuity mistake: Maureen spent the first night in the spooky house, without conclusive results. They are meeting the prospect buyers in a bar. When Lara walks up to them and begins the conversation, the arm position of the man changes wildly between shots several times at every cut. (00:08:40)

Slow Local Trains (1960)

Revealing mistake: Louis de Funès tries to squash a bug that was alive, well and moving in close-up, but is obviously fake and still in the next shot, in a different spot from the close-up too. (00:03:30)

Quantico (2015)

Cover - S1-E3

Other mistake: The footage from Simon's CCTV cameras that shows Alex hitting him does not match the actual scene; for instance, look at the very last supposed camera shot with Alex pulling the hood up on her head; she uses the wrong arm (left instead of right) and Simon is in a weird position in the middle of the entrance, almost facing the opposite direction and not in a corner like in the original scene. (00:30:10 - 00:34:00)

Quantico (2015)

America - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Shelby is talking to Caleb with the sack of garbage in between them. Caleb tells her she has a tissue (possibly a "happy" one) stuck to her arm. Behind her, one of the agents is pacing towards the right, to one of his colleagues and past him. In the close-up of Johanna Braddy saying "They shouldn't have let you back in", the man return in frame, repeating the left to right walk that was already well over, and when the close-up is done he is where he was at the end of the previous wider shot. (00:10:50)

Quantico (2015)

Run - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: A woman asks to use the restroom. While the owner tries to say that it's out of order, a customer who just finished using it returns it. The keyholder is in different position between shots, with the most noticeable difference being the fact that the key is on one end or the opposite in the reverse shot. (00:03:25)

Quantico (2015)

Run - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene with Max and Simon, Max looks at Simon go as he holds the coffee cup; he holds it turned in a different direction though, as shown by the blue bottle being visible or not. (00:03:05)

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: A common dispatch mission is called "Lord Pavo" and asks to use "his" control of the wind to perform a task. Pavo Mayura is a female.

Saint Seiya: Awakening

Other mistake: One of the trivia questions asks 'What does the "ninth art" refer to?'. The answer marked as correct is "Jianxi province", which, as self evident, is not. A previous version of the game had it down as "video games", which wouldn't have been right either.

Kaiser Knuckle

Character mistake: The MC introduces Boggy in his ending saying that "He ARREVED on the scene like a meteor" and "his climbed up the stairs to stardom."

Kaiser Knuckle

Other mistake: Celebrating the tournament win of one J.McCoy in his ending, the commentator says that "this is what AMERECA is all about."

Stand Up Guys (2012)

Continuity mistake: At the "written by" screen with Al Pacino and Christopher Walken meeting, the shadows of the building run perfectly parallel to the fence and through the whole length as far as it can be seen. The two exchange 30 seconds of dialogue and an awkward hug, and drive off. The shadows have changed entirely; they start about halfway at the gate, with an oblique angle. (00:04:05)

Sammo

Other mistake: The end credits list the cast, so it says, "in order of their disappearance." But it's not true; Ilona is listed before Martino, who disappeared earlier than she did (52:30 vs 58:20), Blore is listed before Armstrong, who's been dead longer, and Lombard is the very last, while he was the Indian number two.

Sammo

Audio problem: When Mr. Owen does a shot of billiards as he starts to explain the evil plan, there are just two balls left in total (the cue ball and an object ball). The shot happens off-camera, but the sound dubbed in implies that one of the balls clashed with a third one. (01:31:30)

Sammo

Other mistake: Despite Blore having shorted out of the generator the night before, when the last survivor gets back to the hotel for the finale, all the lights in the lobby are back to normal. The killer is smart, but not an electrician. (01:30:25)

Sammo

Plot hole: In this adaptation, set in Persepolis, the killer couldn't possibly predict that the third-to-last Indian would use binoculars to check out of the corpse in the ruins, and he'd have to lurk in the ruins, with very limited to non-existent cover, in the sun, for a chance to push someone much larger than them, who also happens to be on their own.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Four suspects are left. To check the noise, Vera insists with Lombard saying "I wanna go with you." Notice that one of the three candles in the candelabrum is not lit - the flame fizzled out when she walked too briskly from the bed to the door. In the corridor though, all three candles are burning. (01:23:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Lombard and Vera are in bed together, in a much chaste way (he's wearing a full turtleneck). He tells her that he found the letter in his friends' belongings. Her hand is on her own cheek, but at the cut (happening while she is mid-sentence) her hand is on his arm as he reached down to cope a feel. (01:22:25)
