Continuity mistake: The father pours champagne into the glass closest to himself, then begins pouring in a glass closer to Sylvia, with the 3 being still closely bundled together. But in the next shot, when he's still pouring, he's doing it in a glass near him, and the first one teleported next to Sylvia. (00:20:40)

The Hedgehog (2009)

Continuity mistake: The concierge is trying to come up with a written answer to Mr. Ozu's Anna Karenina. She crumples the first sheet and there's a cut when she tosses it away; the pad changed position and all the other discarded messages are scattered differently between shots. (00:31:30)

Young & Beautiful (2013)

Continuity mistake: The protagonist at the beginning of the movie sunbathes topless.The camera is positioned where the kid is spying her, and in that wide shot she is placing the garment she removed close to her lower half of the body. When he waves his hand casting a shadow over her eyes, the bikini top is in the corner of the towel next to her head. (00:01:20)

Combustion (2013)

Continuity mistake: Ari during the break from the party begins her seductive scheme; posing as a waitress at this guy's own engagement party, she approaches him while he is -for some reason - in the parking lot, makes him smoke a joint for the first time in front of his car, and kisses him - apparently all of this is super easy, barely an inconvenience. When she touches his face, she lowers her fingers from the chin at least 3 times in separate shots when she is whispering things to him. (00:11:50)

Charleston (1977)

Plot hole: The whole premise of the movie hinges on the fact that someone is going to try to buy the ship off James Coco for 3 millions, to try and sell it for 5 to Morris, who put a false ad on the newspaper but he's gonna hightail after. First; it's unclear how whoever checks out of the ad with the 5 million offer is going to be aware that Joe Lo Monaco has a ship for sale for 3 mil; he did not put an ad out himself, and who checks out of the morning paper looking for multimillionaire bargains on ocean liners? It's something entirely out of their league for the gang of small crooks shown in the movie and that Charleston ends up helping. Even more absurd is the fact that Morris plans to disappear after the 'sting', but he is running it with his own real name and in London, where he works as a high profile lawyer. Not the kind of person who can and would just 'disappear' into thin air, especially when the sting could have been done in any other part of the world.

The Women (2008)

Continuity mistake: Sylvie just managed to dodge Mary's questions about the fact that she's obviously hiding something. The convo shifts on the topic of Meg's father and the possible passing of the torch; Annette Bening's right hand constantly moves between holding one arm of the shades or the glass in the reverse shots. (00:14:30)

The Women (2008)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Annette Bening does a Robocop-like scan of the store. She then pulls up her sunglasses. Just before the cut, she pulls her hand back, but in the next shot the glasses are further back in her hair. From there she walks in and a clerk offers her a "facelift in a jar." Watch on the left part of the lane, two women (black short hair, mid-length grey hair) walk in the opposite direction and are already past the clerk. In the next shot, they walk again past the clerk only after a couple seconds and in a different pattern. (00:03:20)

Obsessed (2009)

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Derek back home from work he changes his son's diaper and then is with the wife, sitting on the floor. In the overhead shot the cups on the table point the handles in opposite directions, but at the cut Derek completes the action of pouring, and does it on cups oriented the exact same direction. (00:10:35)

Obsessed (2009)

Continuity mistake: Derek at the beginning of the movie pranks Lisa pretending not to be who he is. During the cut happening across the "But don't tell him I said that, okay?" line, Lisa's hands switch position on the pile of folders she is holding; the hand on the bottom is the left first, then the right. (00:06:50)

Obsessed (2009)

Continuity mistake: In the first meeting between Derek and Lisa (elevator scene), the folders in Ali Larter's hands keep changing position between shots - look at the beige folder; its rubber band jumps between being on the left and being on the right multiple times. (00:05:30)
