Human Capital (2013)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the waiter is wheeling the cart out of the building. Two workers are loading the van, with Saman to order them around. One is wearing a hat, the other isn't. Hatless Guy walks out of the van first and is sprinting back towards the building, with Hat Guy noticeably behind, but in the next shot Fabrizio passes the cart to Hatless Guy and Hat Guy is already way past them both.

It Follows (2014)

Audio problem: Jay's friends are playing Old Maid on the porch at night. Her sister asks the guy to pass her the spiked soda. She drinks and then puts the can down. Several seconds pass, but in the next shot Paul retrieves the can reacting to it as if the girl just put it down - in fact there is even a metallic sound, which is impossible consider Kelly's movements and Yara talking between shots.

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Hugh brings Jay to the edge of the parking lot to show her "it", the naked woman "it" is shaped as is wearing flipflops, which she does not wear when she slowly walks on the platform. Quite the funny little off-camera wardrobe adjustment to make for a zombie-like supernatural entity on a path of death and destruction. (00:20:20)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Hugh turns around to take a look at the audience and spot Jay's pick, in the faraway shot his whole arm goes over the seat, hand with the soda included. The scene continues with the Hugh's drink always next to the popcorn as he is turned to different°. (00:10:30)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: Chilling on the couch watching a movie, Jay's friend farts. Obviously well practiced in the discipline, it takes her merely moments within the same shot to perform the necessary adjustments after the emission and place her index finger back on the dainty seashell lid of her media device. But in the next shot, as she proudly smiles basking in the warm glow of her successful feat, her finger is off the lid. (00:07:00)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: Jay is soaking in the pool. She drowns a bug that is on her arm. Behind her there's a can of soft drink with a straw sticking out and pointing towards the left. It stays that way until she floats on her back and there's a semi-POV shot with her toes sticking out. After that, the straw in the cola can is pointing towards the right for the rest of the scene. (00:05:00)

Continuity mistake: At the toll booth, Afonso does a thumb up sign to the operator, not knowing what he really said to his son about their ride. He is doing the gesture with his right hand, left hand, right hand again depending on the shot. (00:07:00)

La Vita facile (2011)

Continuity mistake: Dr. Mario Tirelli at the beginning of the movie enters the clinic where he works. A blonde woman walks in the opposite direction and exits through the door as Tirelli briefly hails a nurse. At the cut, Tirelli is in the same spot as before (nothing changes in the background) but the blonde is back and with still a way to go before the door, and the nurse is far back too, with the doctor's hand not moving to greet her, in a different take entirely. (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Regina is looking at pictures and messages on her phone. There's no solid continuity between close-ups and wider shots, with the hand position changing suddenly most times. (00:01:10)

Continuity mistake: Edmund and his business partner pull over in front of the hotel. They walk out of the car, and the woman is holding a clipboard in her left hand and her smartphone in her right. When they get through the hotel doors though, she is thumbing her phone in her left hand and the clipboard is now encased in a whole document folder she did not leave the car with, in her right hand.

New Year's Eve (2011)

Continuity mistake: At the wedding, Rory puts his arm on Sam's shoulder. When Sam is mid-sentence ("For better or worse"), Rory's arm disappears at the cut. (00:06:50)

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Other mistake: White Base knocks a car off a rock, but does not hit the rock itself with the part that sticks further lower and passes by right after. (00:06:30)

Knives Out (2019)

Continuity mistake: Marta recalls in her head the facts of the fateful night during Blanc's coin flip. Harlan sits down in the attic room and grabs the Go pieces from the bag. He places the bag on the table when she tells him to take the "goddamn medicine and go to bed", but it is back in his lap at the cut, and on the table again at the next cut, midsentence. (00:32:50)
