Rich in Love (2020)

Continuity mistake: The three friends are at the hospital. As Raissa and Katia predicted, Dr. Victor is hitting on Paula. As they follow him, the stethoscope around Raissa's neck dangles differently from her neck between cuts, with the cup on top of her hair or under it, closer to the shoulder. (00:05:35)

The Half of It (2020)

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of the choir (three students harmonizing on a note) the girl in pink holds the sheet with her left hand at the corner and the right hand in the middle. Cut to the wide shot, and she has the left hand in the middle and the right hand at its respective corner. (00:03:50)

Kung-Fu Master

Other mistake: In the arcade version (available also for Saturn and PS1 in the Iren Arcade Classics collection) of this game inspired by a Jackie Chan movie, the protagonist, Kung-Fu master Thomas, sees both his martial art and name butchered in "Kanfu" and "Tohmas."

The Lovebirds (2020)

Continuity mistake: First argument. Leilani shouts "Why are you being so loud right now?", with a hand behind her neck. She does not start the next shot in that position, she puts her hand there only a second later. (00:04:05)

The Amateurs (2005)

Revealing mistake: The protagonist starts his adventure in the triple-X rated world by gathering documentation. In the opening montage it's implied that he's making many trips to the store to rent different adult movies (the clock on the wall shows a different time and he dumps the cassettes on the counter each time in a different way), but every time it is always the same cassettes; different order but always the same ones - for instance a sky colored one called "Tricks", a bright pink one called "Untouchable", etc. (00:12:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Towards the beginning of the flashback, Jahkor gets thrown to the ground. The legs of the bully in the close-up cast a shadow over Jahkor's body. Cut to the next shot, and the shadow is away from Jahkor in a blatant change of direction of the light of the scene. (00:09:35)

The Willoughbys (2020)

Continuity mistake: Tim is showing the Nanny's phone to the others. He plays the message from his parents, but does it tapping the bottom part of the touchscreen, while the media file and its "play" button as established in previous views, is at the top. Likewise, when he turns towards Jane asking "Do you want to be taken care of?" he is pointing at the bottom of the device, but in the reverse shot his finger is at the top. (00:43:30)

Backbone

Character mistake: In the prologue, one of the possible answers to the club owner Clarissa before getting thrown out is "Too bad. I guess I'll find somewhere else to give my money too." That would be "give my money to", at most.

Welcome Mr. President mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The protagonist is told about the budget cuts that will lead to the library shutting down. During the scene, the strap of his hat keeps going back and forth in front / behind his ear. (00:02:05)

Sammo

Visible crew/equipment: The two protagonists are on their tour bus, driving to the tourist pick-up spot. When they get there and get off the bus to greet the tourists, you can see in the shadows behind them the real driver shifting into neutral and trying to sneak out of the way. (00:05:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The protagonist just unveiled to his boss the "nest" ad, to which he suggests some not-so-minor changes. Luca Argentero is holding the drape in two very different ways between shots (first with bunched cloth sticking up top, then simply folded). (00:05:00)

Coffee & Kareem (2020)

Continuity mistake: Kareem's mom is talking to her coworker about the fact that her son asked for James to pick him up at school. When she mentions that it's not seen as the coolest thing to date a cop, and a white one at that, her friend goes from hand low, to smoking with that hand, to drinking from the cup, in the span of a few words and a couple quick cuts. (00:09:45)

The Wrong Missy (2020)

Continuity mistake: David Spade just sat down with the prankster blind date. When she (kinda accurately) says "By the way, the age thing..." his hand in a blink goes from the table to the back of the couch. (00:02:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: George's son is disappointed because his dad missed the ball game and tells him that he should have been there. Meanwhile Denise Richards approaches the cooking pot with her spoon in her right hand and the plate in her left. Close-up on her telling Howie that dad was busy, and spoon and plate switched hands.

Chi-Raq (2015)

Continuity mistake: After the shooting at the concert, Lysistrata is in the bathroom downing the pill with some Don Julio tequila. The bottle lid is to the left of the bottle in the wide angles, to the right in close-up. (00:10:00)

Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge mistake picture

Other mistake: In one of the finest examples of EngRish in SNK videogames, whenever you win a round, you are treated to a triumphant message of "VICTOLY."

Jexi (2019)

Continuity mistake: The dorky protagonist just bumped into the bike shop girl. She tells him "It's all good, man", to which he replies asking how's the bike. Behind him, a woman with a dog makes her appearance. Over 10 seconds of conversation pass, and the woman is still where she was, but in the shot that follows, when she says "I'm Cate, by the way", the woman warped past him, and is now behind her to the opposite end of the sidewalk. (00:07:15)

Veteran (2015)

Continuity mistake: During the fight in the garage, the protagonist neutralizes (and maybe neuters) one of the baddies crotching him with the car door. In that sequence, his hands keep changing position on the door. (00:07:30)

Flight Crew (2016)

Continuity mistake: The crew arrived at the volcanic island in turmoil, and are talking with the local captain. The captain asks them to carry also some of the dead people, and they start asking him what the plan is, if there's one at all. The pass at the neck of the captain shows the side with the symbol in one shot, the blank one in the next. (00:25:10)

Son of a Gun (2014)

Revealing mistake: JR is in the weapon container of the crazy dealer, who passes him some of his goods. JR ends up holding in his right arm a MP5K and an M4A1, which combined are about 5 kilos, but then he passes him an M60 Machine Gun, which weighs over 10 kilos and that the relatively diminutive protagonist just handles throughout the scene gripping it with his left hand and making no effort whatsoever. (00:25:20)
