ENF Novels: Dress Code

Continuity mistake: When the girls go find Megan crying after the first traumatic office encounter with Brigitte, her toenails are a natural pink. Moments later in the break room (and the rest of the game) they have the same black varnish as her fingernails.

ENF Novels: Dress Code

Character mistake: During Megan's first humiliation scene, she internally monologues saying "I can't believe it, he's offering me a promotion." The problem is that the "he" she refers to is Brigitte.

Lupin the 3rd (1971)

Continuity mistake: When Dr. King asks Poirot why would the culprit, of all people, kill Mrs. Boynton, Lennox next to her has her fingers crossed together, but in Poirot's reply he has the closed fist against the palm, and his wife's position is different as well. (01:35:05)

Continuity mistake: When Jefferson Cope says "I admit" during dinner, the position of his hands changes in the mid-sentence cut. (01:29:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Lennox Boynton scoffs "What motive, for God's sake" at Poirot's accusations on his wife, the position of his right arm and the position of his hat under the sun have changed from the previous shot. (01:23:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Carbury asks Poirot "Do you reaaaally believe all that?" as he reads Dr. King's testimony about the shooting, Peter Ustinov's hand is up to his breast pocket in a shot, down the side in the next. (01:17:50)

Sammo

Character mistake: Poirot talks with the Boyntons about the solution of the enigma after the dances, sitting at the table with them. By them, the British flag is hanging upside down from the wall - they are at the coronation ball, so not exactly a place where protocol does not matter. (01:29:05)

Appointment With Death mistake picture

Continuity mistake: With Dr. King at his side, Poirot waves hi to Hassan, the 'Arab boy'. The position of Poirot's hat and cane is different in the two shots; in front of him, or down his left hip. (01:14:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: One of the menacing individuals behind Dr. King is wearing a keffiyeh that obscures his face entirely. The loose part down his chest is in a different position in the widest shot when they back her against the wall. (01:17:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Colonel Carbury is getting a tongue-lashing from Lady Westholme. He picks the cup of tea from his attendant, with the right hand, and the receiver is on his left hand. Camera cuts away for one second on Lauren Bacall, and then in close-up the colonel is holding the phone with his right hand, immediately switching to the left. (01:14:25)

Sammo

Factual error: When Poirot sets his trap about the "brown spider", the man next to Lady Westholme is intently reading an issue of Pic magazine; it's the July 1938 issue with Carol Landis on the cover. But the movie is set in May 1937. (01:12:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Poirot confronts Carol inside the cave. When she says that "In the morning the whole thing seemed ridiculous" there's a quick reaction shot on Ustinov, and the bottom strap connected to the glasses tucked inside his breast pocket runs a few inches above his waistcoat, across the shirt; in the rest of the conversation it practically touches the waistcoat. (01:09:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Poirot leaves Carbury to go question the two remaining Boyntons, the military vehicle he gets on has a different serial number than the one he steps out from. (01:07:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Dr. King reacts with a big laugh at Poirot's insinuation that Raymond could have decided to kill his mother. In the longshot though you can spot both characters in the crowd, and they are simply walking side by side. In the closer view, Sarah King is facing Poirot. (00:51:35)

Crush Crush

Bug: In Sofia's phone fling story she at one point signs off reminding to vote for her in a contest. If you meet the stat requirements to unlock the next chapter, the new conversation that starts with the announcement of her victory and should take place days after the first part begins instead right away. They did not set the minimum waiting time between chapters that is in place elsewhere.

Crush Crush

Character mistake: One of Bonnibel's lines is "I'm not one for labels, sugar, but I'm a bit old fashioned. Am I your beau, sweet heart?" Old fashioned or not, she gets her labels wrong; she'd be a "belle" (girlfriend), not a "beau" (boyfriend).
