Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12

Revealing mistake: After the first performance of "Sir Fearing Pangborn", the Douglas Fairbanks and John Barrymore impersonators do another spot of dueling. The railing to the right of the stairs wobbles significantly when touched, certainly not the kind of build for a luxury home like Robin Masters', but rather a stage's. (00:12:30)

Magnum, P.I. (1980)

The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian - S4-E12

Plot hole: Magnum is incredibly slow to unveil the charade at the base of the episode; he does it based on something marginal (Robin Masters does not do "research" for his novels), but he completely overlooks the key plot point of 1-17 "J. Digger Doyle" was that he does not use a typewriter, but he dictates the novels.

Rear Window (1998)

Other mistake: Christopher Reeve's nurse has just installed the camera, and they are showing it to Daryl Hannah. During a close-up of Jason Kemp's camera displayed by a monitor, she notices that the woman victim of domestic abuse is wearing too much make-up for that time of the morning, no doubt to hide the results of the beating she took. Jason does not move the camera at that point, but a minute later he (it actually looks like she is the one doing it, but there's an engine buzz so it should be Jason operating it, not her turning it by hand) rotates it to the right. The visual in the monitor is unchanged from earlier even if the camera moved. (00:33:30 - 00:34:30)

Continuity mistake: Eric Bana is listening to the police radio frequencies at the beginning of the movie. He does it in close-up with his left hand on the money, by his right arm, but in the next shot his position is different, since his hand is holding the right forearm. (00:00:50)

Continuity mistake: Ben got his job. He has to see his wife though, and she passes him the divorce papers. The papers are in an envelope she slides across the table with the flap face down. It's face up in the reverse shot. (00:06:30)

Race 3 (2018)

Continuity mistake: Mr. Shamsher at the beginning of the movie steps out of the helicopter with one door open, but when he brings across the other leg both of the large doors are suddenly open at the cut. (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: During the credits, Amaia Salamanca kisses her girlfriend cupping her face with her fingers that change position between shots. (00:02:30)

The Brass Teapot (2012)

Continuity mistake: The alarm clock chimes; Juno Temple reaches up with her left hand, putting it on the upper part of the pillow. Michael Angarano crawls over her to turn the alarm off, but she's napping with her hand by her chin, on the bottom corner of the pillow. (00:02:40)
