The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Jules gets in bed with her husband (somehow she wasn't snoring earlier), she exchanges a few words with him and even mentions watching something on Netflix. During this scene her hands change position on the laptop depending on the camera angle. (00:39:10)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Matt asks Jules to turn off the light on her bedstand, she holds his hand above the wrist, or hand in hand depending on the angle. (00:40:35)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Ben is driving Jules for the first time. She is talking to her mom on the phone. The mother mentions research. The conversation is in continuity across shots, but Anne Hathaway's fingers on the phone first, then her hair, change position. (00:32:10)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Fiona gives her card to Ben, two coworkers in the background part ways. De Niro pockets the card, and the two are still there checking the same dress out and chatting. (00:29:30)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: Ben is getting ready for the first day as an intern. On his bed stand he sets up both alarm clocks, a remote control and a wristwatch. They change their respective distance from the edge depending on the camera angle. (00:12:35)

The Intern (2015)

Continuity mistake: In the intro of the movie, De Niro mentions visiting funerals. This sequence comprises two angles; when the camera is behind De Niro, you can see that the grey haired guy he sits next to in the second angle is sitting at the far right of the church bench, his elbow is even sticking out. In the second, he's already sitting at the center so that there's room for him. (00:02:20)

Disco Elysium

Character mistake: Interviewing Garte, the cafeteria manager, after the preliminary investigation of the crime scene one of the possible questions is "Who else has keys to the trash container." Your partner Kim Kitsuragi at one point comments "Ah, the illusive CS Municipal." From the context it is apparent that he meant "elusive."

Treasure of Nadia

Character mistake: When Clare explains to the main character the purpose of the sceptre he's holding, she says "It's value is only in the information that exists here." It's the possessive pronoun 'its', so it's got no need for its apostrophe here.

Treasure of Nadia

Character mistake: When you are required to pick up books in Diana's library for one of the mini quests, one of the books in your inventory is "Perennial's of Cape Vedra." It's a plural, 'perennials', no apostrophe.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Yamada leaves the temple, the shadows on the matte painting long shot don't match at all the shadows on the closer angle of the stairs. (01:22:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Christine looks at Yamada before falling unconscious, the sword scabbard is right next to her at the bottom of the frame, but it's at greater distance in the previous shot and rest of the movie (like when her boyfriend wakes her up), except when the black ninja rises, when it's gone. (01:19:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Christie draws her sword and brings it down over her stalkerish boyfriend (but alas, doesn't kill him), he clings to the bedframe with both hands, but has just one arm raised in the second shot. You'd think the arm is down on the ground for good as shown in the room view too, but in the very last shot he's again gripping the frame. (01:15:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the good ninja KOs the cops in the car, the hat on top of the last one is tipped in an entirely different way in close-up and wider angle. (01:13:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the close-up of Sho Kosugi looking languidly at Christie's boyfriend when the cops are taking him away, look at the blonde moustached cop behind him. His face is in the shade, and then suddenly in direct sunlight at the cut. Same for his fist as he holds the gun in this second shot; direct sunlight on it, shadow during the next close-up on the ninja. (01:11:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The guys are discussing whether to take Steve's job or not. When Daric says "Let's do it", Ben's hand stars on the cue at a much lower point than it had reached in the previous shot. (01:11:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Stephanie's boyfriend at the court tells Ben "It's going to break the cycle", he is holding the basketball close to his body, but as the angle changes, he's holding it on his upward palm. (01:09:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When in Vegas the guys bring a "Rachel" in the room, Ben is looking at his book, no papers in hand, but as she leans against the bed he's suddenly holding some. (01:04:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the confrontation with Stephanie's boyfriend, there's a scene opened by Ben in voiceover talking about 'scams'. In the long shot we see Virgil greet the guys in the blue car while holding a skateboard. Closer angle, no skate. (00:43:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The situation at the party escalates quickly. Darin knocks the jock down with his gun while a rabid Virgil steps in to kick him on the ground. The gun swaps hands between shots. (00:38:00)
