Rust and Bone (2012)

Continuity mistake: The first time they go to the beach together, Alain is sleeping while Stephanie is swimming. When she wakes him up with her potent whistling, he has his hand on his belly that touches the bathing shorts'upper band in the first shot, but the hand is in a different position above his bellybutton in the wider angle. (00:43:05)

Detective Kobayashi

Audio problem: In the first duel of the game, against your fellow detective Tsuguo Yoshio, the sentence that precedes the moment when you have to contradict one of his 3 statements ("He might have gone to play with some of his friends" etc) has a striking difference in volume and ambience compared to the rest (probably was recorded in a different session, maybe the first take had a mistake).

Death and Taxes

Other mistake: Objects you put inside a drawer do not disappear just in the part of the drawer that goes into the desk, but also in the lateral sides.

Star Trek: Picard (2020)

Remembrance - S1-E1

Character mistake: Picard and Data are playing poker at the beginning of the episode. Before the actual faces of the players are revealed, we are shown close-ups of their hands as they put down the chips for the bet. When Picard says his first line in the series it's "See", and it is literally true, because in the previous shot, Data put his 5 cards down on the table and face up. (00:00:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Aboard the stolen cab, the guys receive a photo from Jenna posing with the cardboard cutout of herself. She has a rather straightforward pose in the picture in the phone, while a moment later when we actually saw the picture taken she struck a pose cocking her torso and popping the hip out making a pouty face. (00:34:20)

Relic Hunter (1999)

Smoking Gun - S1-E2

Stupidity: The power generator for Al Capone's secret bunker is located exactly outside the secret entrance door. In case of emergency it would be entirely useless, on top of drawing attention to the entrance itself.

Sammo

Plot hole: The contest happens on July 16th 2005. Karen appears on a magazine cover as the successful new manager in the September 2005 issue, which is really a bit too fast considering in barely a month Bowker's wife would have had to divorce him, sell the company and reduce him as the homeless bum shown, on top of Karen actually taking over.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Sylvia reads "Potholing weekly", her hand on the last page changes position between shots (finger below the first paragraph in the second shot, way deeper below in the first). (01:21:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Karen rejects Pablo, we see a scene with brother and sister on the couch. When she mentions 'potholing', Jack's forkful of noodles changes between shots. (01:21:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Sylvia puts in her player the CD Pablo gave her. The display shines with a bright green. When she dances, the display is off. (01:14:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Sylvia is teaching her brother how to play guitar without the amplifier, the position of her hands are inconsistent at times between shots - for instance after she tosses the slice of tangerine at him and he groans that he almost 'had it'. (01:13:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: As the jaunty tunes from "Otto and his Black Forest Ghetto" sound in the air, Sylvia receives a phone call from her dad (ish). She holds the phone with the thumb and index all the way up in side view, but different placement and thumb below the screen in close-up. (01:06:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the Bavarian event at the pub, Sylvia chugs down some beer from the mug. She turns towards the elder couple and exchanges a couple quick pleasantries; when Warren walks in, the level of beer in the mug suddenly drops. (01:05:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After another big reveal about her messed up family history, Sylvia goes to a pub and sits at the counter. Her arms are folded when seen from the front, or she's leaning with just her left when the camera is on the back. (01:05:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jake stops the car right before accidentally running his dad over. It's obvious though that two different takes are edited together, as the position Tom Watt jumps from is a different one in the two shots. (00:55:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Outside the building after Caroline wins the head-to-head against her colleague, Sylvia says "I feel sorry for Warren." At the cut, extras appear around the group all of a sudden coming out of the doors that were closed before. (00:34:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Karen puts the embarrassing picture in the envelope holding it in a different way - she pulls it open with the left hand in the corner in the first and last shot, by the middle of the side closest to her in close-up. (00:31:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Martin just started working at the same call center her daughter is in. The nefarious Karen walks away and turns back to just dismiss his request with a clicking noise; during this cut her hand on the clipboard changes position - easy to spot due to the logo pattern. (00:30:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Flamenco lesson after Julie's fierce belch. Pablo says "Stretch with your fingers, make it beautiful"; The girl in brown behind the protagonist is in a part of her rotation blatantly out of continuity. (00:29:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Sylvia is with her coworkers at the pub the day her dad asked the loan to her boss. While Julie is chugging her beer down and everyone is staring at her in disbelief, Sylvia has her own glass on the table, suddenly in front of her lips in the close-up. (00:29:00)
