Ranma ½ (1989)

Gekiretsu shoujo Shanpû toujou! Watashi inochi azukemasu - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: When the chase at the ending of the episode begins, Shampoo smashes her chui on top of the wall in front of the room with the panoramic view of the pond (the one we see always featured). She does a little bit of damage to it, a bit more of a beach-ball size chunk turned into dust. At the end of the episode Soun Tendo is staring at the garden and that section of the wall has a huge crack, destroyed for at least half its height. (00:18:50)

Ranma ½ (1989)

Gekiretsu shoujo Shanpû toujou! Watashi inochi azukemasu - S1-E15

Other mistake: The episode opens with Ranma eating an ice cream with Akane. He (in female form) acts as he never had one before and Akane says "Don't tell me you've never had ice cream before!", and that's the case, apparently. But, episode 11 opened exactly with Ranma charming a shop owner into handing "her" a cone, commenting that "when it comes to eating out, being a girl is the only way to go." (00:02:00)

Ranma ½ (1989)

Shanpû no hangeki! Hissatsu shiatsuken wa mimo kokomo ubau - S1-E16

Other mistake: Not getting too deep into the obvious absurdity of the gag (I don't think a prospect husband would be too impressed if you serve him a pig complete with everything, obviously poorly cooked and don't even take off the bandanna/collar it is wearing!), it has to be noted that the bandanna Ryoga is wearing is covered with hibiscus sauce in the first shot, but clean in the following.

High-Rise (2015)

Continuity mistake: Laing is sleeping in the buff on the balcony. Overhead shot and he has his hands on his loins, view from inside the apartment and his hands are off his legs (and not really in the position of someone sleeping). New shot and they are somewhere in between, with the left hand at the side of his body, but turned horizontal, so more leaning than gripping as it was earlier. (00:04:50)

High-Rise (2015)

Continuity mistake: Laing and Charlotte are having a smoke on the terrace, talking about Wilder who just banged at the door, and with Toby and his kaleidoscope. Laing puts down the lighter and cigarette packet, shown in the overhead shot. Neither him or Charlotte touch them, but in the next overhead shot roughly 30 seconds later, both objects have moved. (00:58:45 - 00:59:20)

High-Rise (2015)

Other mistake: The protagonist is reading the booklet illustrating the wonders of his home. Something strange about it; the paragraph by the title "State of the art lift system", with a big lift icon to the side, has merely the first couple of lines talking about lifts, and then moves on, without any transition, to the subject of pets, adoption and all related matters. (00:03:35)

Gemini Man (2019)

Factual error: During the bike chase, Henry is able to neutralize the first bike that Junior is riding. The bike falls down and explodes inches to the right of Henry's, who is riding at top speed, and is completely unfazed by it, does not even wobble. (00:39:15)

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: Junior confronts his fake dad in his office. Clay puts his glasses down and they are initially on a sheet of paper by his keyboard. But in a closer angle after junior names "The lab guys who made me" the glasses have changed position, being on the desk by the folder Clay Verris was working on with his awkward typing. (01:18:00)

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: The first time we see Baron there is a little introductory dialogue with him. At the end he ask for one of Danny's (expired) crackers. He then turns around and her right hand rises to pick a new one - but in the next shot she is holding the box with that hand and the cracker is in her left. (00:27:55)

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: Will Smith and Mary Elizabeth Winstead react to the explosion of the van with different speed between shots. From behind, she raises her arms first, but in the frontal view her reaction is delayed compared to Smith's. (01:27:55)

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Will Smith's clone decides to try and kill him by beating him up with his bike, the shadows next to the car change wildly; it is particularly obvious when the middle-aged one springs into air from lying down on his belly into a huge shadow that just was not there. (00:40:40)

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: The morning after escaping from Brogan's house, Danny is eating some crackers. In the first shot she passes the box from her left hand to the right, in the next, Brogan points out that they are long expired while she is holding the box still in the left hand and a new cracker in the right.

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: Henry shoots the tire of a car to slow down his pursuing clone. Junior is trying to pass the car to the right as it sways out of control.The zone of asphalt he is speeding through is in the shadow, but at the next cut, when he actually manages to pass in ridiculous fashion, the road is uniformly lit. (00:40:00)

Gemini Man (2019)

Revealing mistake: During the drill that follows Junior's return 'home' in Georgia, the extras who flee from the building and run in the street split in two, left and right of the camera position (one guy even slows down his run quite obviously to avoid tripping the offscreen equipment). (00:48:30)

Gemini Man (2019)

Stupidity: Spoiler. In a typical 'why didn't he do it before?' twist that kinda invalidates the rest of the movie, it turns out that the villain has had a third Will Smith clone all along, ready for deployment in Yemen and with fear and pain genetically removed, ready to blindly kill anyone, combined with so much body armor that even point blank AR-15 carbine shots barely faze...but he sent the 'prototype' he raised like a son instead, in a hoodie and baseball cap.

Gemini Man (2019)

Revealing mistake: Henry is being chased by Junior on his second bike. In a POV shot as Junior crosses the bridge, you can see he is dodged by a guy wearing a yellow baseball bat and a red Hawaiian shirt. Only, in the reverse angle (the bike coming out of the bridge) the cap stays yellow but the shirt turned inexplicably grey. (00:39:30)

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Junior takes a swing at his 'dad' with the rear of his bike sending him flying against the car, notice how at the beginning of the shot with the camera positioned overhead the side mirror is folded, either to make the stunt easier or because during some take it was knocked back that way. The same mirror is in its normal outwards position in the rest of the scene. (00:40:50)

Gemini Man (2019)

Continuity mistake: On his second bike, Junior passes a bridge, cuts a corner with an acrobatic jump and begins chasing Henry through a second bridge, longer, wider and crowded with people with hats and shirts.The position of a few of those guys (like the one with the green shirt) doesn't match between POV and reverse. (00:39:40)
