Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: At the gate, Buke is raging against Jodie Foster. She rebukes him saying "You're raising your voice to me?" He reaches for the bars of the gate shaking them, but his left hand reaches the left gate in the first shot, both are on bars of the right-side door in the second. (00:08:40)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: Waikiki lowers Honololu's gun telling him that the caveau won't open. There's a reaction shot of their hotheaded accomplice holding his gun with both hands and tilted. In the background of the next shot, he's holding the same gun with just one arm. (00:01:50)

Hotel Artemis (2018)

Continuity mistake: During the robbery at the beginning of the movie, Lev points a gun at the clerk's forehead. Depending on the shot, the gun is touching his forehead directly or not, and Lev raises the thumb on the hammer twice in consecutive shots. (00:01:40)

Fun Size (2012)

Continuity mistake: Fuzzy realises that he accidentally started a fire and asks 'Spidey' to give him the hose; the toilet paper in the lawn changes position in between the overhead shots. (00:27:15)

Fun Size (2012)

Continuity mistake: Fuzzy stops the car making a big ruckus as he knocks over the trash bins. He tells Albert "That's Lara's place up there", hands off the steering wheel, but in the next shot his right hand is on it. (00:25:30)

Fun Size (2012)

Other mistake: During her somber trick-or-treat stroll with April, Wren receives a message from Aaron. She is really surprised by that and wonders how did he get her number. On the other hand, the text is identified by his full name, showing that she had his number saved in the phone book. (00:10:50)

Fun Size (2012)

Continuity mistake: Wren is looking for a Halloween costume. She is briefly thinking about Aaron and his Johnny Depp cosplay; meanwhile her brother moves from a Spider-Man rack to severed arms across the aisle. During this transition, the people on the background change position, and when she talks to him the girl in orange is behind her with her hands on the display one shot too soon. In the following shot she is still walking. (00:07:55)

Fun Size (2012)

Continuity mistake: April falls down when Albert ties her bootlaces; two students are walking by a parked car. Wren looks all dreamy at the car of the cool kid vanishing in distance. When the camera is back on the street behind her, the two guys are still passing by the same car. (00:06:50)

Fun Size (2012)

Continuity mistake: When Wren is doing the rather off-key rap about E.O. Wilson, Roosevelt is holding his right hand on the strap of his bag at a different height in the different shots, and at the end of her stanza he has his left hand raised all of a sudden. (00:05:10)

Fun Size (2012)

Continuity mistake: Wren is asking her mother about the form for the college loan. When she remarks sarcastically "Afghan citizenship, hello?" she has a big bunch of hair in front of her shoulder, as opposed to the previous shot. (00:02:30)

Continuity mistake: Theodore rides once the tiny rollercoaster; the cart comes to a full stop and his left foot is in the space between the bars, but in the next shot the left foot is on the outside. (00:48:00)

Lap Dance (2014)

Continuity mistake: Kevin Shepherd pulls over in front of her fiancee's dad. It's still a wide angle, but you can see distinctly both her and his left arm stretched forward; she is looking at her engagement ring, he has his hand on the steering wheel. Before the camera cuts away though, he lowers his arm; it is not acknowledged in the new shot, where both have still their left arm forward. (00:03:35)

A Simple Favor (2018)

Continuity mistake: When the villain runs away after shooting Sean, in close-up Sean is sporting a lot of blood that spreads quite a bit around the entry wound. When Stephanie runs after them, Sean's wound has just a single trickle. (01:49:10)

A Simple Favor (2018)

Continuity mistake: In the final confrontation between Stephanie and Emily, the shadows on the asphalt change radically (full sun to full shadow) during the sequence. (01:49:20)

A Simple Favor (2018)

Other mistake: The vlog entry that leads to the finale is #47. Six months pass, the caption say, but in the finale Stephanie is posting her vlog #290. That's more than 40 entries per month, and Stephanie always keeps her entries daily throughout the movie even under the craziest circumstances.

A Simple Favor (2018)

Other mistake: Stephanie's vlog gains over 85,000 subscribers in the space of the minutes it takes for her to livestream from her home to Emily's house. While Youtube has had much larger sudden increases in followers, this is not Youtube, but a private blog that begins from 34,000 subscribers. It seems quite unlikely that even by word of mouth it could have the critical mass to grow by 200% in such a short time, considering that it reached those 30k with a murder story that had media coverage, and it takes then 6 months for her to hit 1 million afterwards, with the amazing scoop and juicy media story that follows. It should also be noted that her figures when she asks to identify the Kia are ridiculously low; she manages to find the same car the police can't find thanks to her channel that has a whopping 1,013 subscribers worldwide at the time.

A Simple Favor (2018)

Continuity mistake: After the police raid at Darren's, Emily is talking while she moves the gun around. During certain cuts ("manipulate the system", "I mean, sort of perfect", "f**king crazy, haven't you?") she has her gun tilted in opposite directions. (01:47:30)

A Simple Favor (2018)

Continuity mistake: When the SWAT team bursts into Darren's house, he puts his hands up, holds nothing, and yet somehow the packet of crisps appears on the table by him. (01:47:20)

A Simple Favor (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Blake Lively's body double runs through the patch of woods towards the lake, the sole of her feet are entirely covered in dirt. When she jumps from the pier though, her feet are much cleaner. (01:33:35)

A Simple Favor (2018)

Continuity mistake: When she's having martinis on Emily's gravestone, when it's Hope's turn to serve them Stephanie walks around the tomb; the lemon twist is in a different spot of the glass between shots. (01:28:55)
