A Fine Mess (1986)

Continuity mistake: Dennis has just argued with the manager about the fuzzy slippers at work. He is skating off to deal with the last delivery. When there's a cut, notice how there's a man with a white jumper leaning against the white Cadillac, facing the guy with the red jacket. That man in white was not there before. (00:10:15)

A Fine Mess (1986)

Continuity mistake: Dennis followed by Spence is walking out of the bathroom with a handful (soon mouthful) of soap. Camera outside, and to walk out of the bathroom behind them, a guy with a blue jacket who was nowhere near the door, and not one of the two people who were instead seen headed towards the door.

Belle & Sebastian (2013)

Continuity mistake: Angélina just found out that the doctor is helping out of the refugees. During the scene, at the beginning and in the shots from behind, the doctor's stethoscope has the earpieces pinching the collar of the shirt, while in the frontal views those parts snuck inside the collar, touching the neck.

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: The three girls are standing on the door of their hotel room. Emma has the hotel brochure in hand, held vertically. Grace slips past her and in this new shot Emma is holding the leaflet horizontally. (00:16:00)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: The three girls spend the night in the hotel room drying the rain out. When Grace hangs up the phone and answers Meg, Meg's hair goes from the back to the front of her shoulder. (00:28:15)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Grace is whining to her mom about adding her new sister to the trip. Before she has to head to the hospital, her mom puts her hands on Grace's cheeks. At the cut, her hands are on the shoulders instead, and only then she moves them up to the face. (00:12:20)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Factual error: On the plane, Emma shows an issue of Hello! magazine featuring the heiress Grace is passing as. It's labeled as "number 1100, May 31 2010", but the May 31 2010 issue was actually number 1125. (00:30:30)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Right at the ending of the opening credits, Amanda is walking to the podium to deliver the graduation speech. Her robe is open in the faraway shot, then when she says "We made it!" her scarf is over the robe, more closed than before, then cut to a faraway shot again and it's all the way open again, and then it goes on with her robe full closed. But in the faraway shot when Meg makes her way across the gym, you can see the grey of the skirt again. (00:03:30)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: In the dingy hotel room, Grace opens the window and spots the most stereotypical Frenchman ever soaking naked in his bathtub reading Le Monde. The newspaper in hand is folded differently at the cut. (00:17:00)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Monte Carlo mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Grace gets the plate with the breakfast order, consisting of two eggs, two bunches of fries, 2 slices of bacon and 3 sausages. She rearranges them to serve them in a funny face pattern, supposedly, but one piece of sausage is missing, the fries are soaked in oil and eggs and bacon appear less cooked than before. (00:02:00)

Batman (1966)

The Penguin's a Jinx (2) - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: Robin deals with the Penguin henchman in the elevator, then suddenly jumps on the counter, watches Batman conk heads (in a real fake way) and starts laughing like a slightly demented person. In all that, the guy in the elevator was still standing and looking like he was waiting for his cue. He is just suddenly KO with no explanation in the full view of the room a moment later. (00:21:50)

Batman (1966)

The Joker Is Wild (1) - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Batman and Robin are being summoned by Commissioner Gordon, but are still in civilian clothes, so it's time to get to the Bat-cave. Bruce presses the switch and the bookshelf begins to slide open. Pay attention to the white books in the third row and the red books on the top shelf. In the close-up that follows there are fewer white books, their cluster aligned with the last of the red books, a different proportion from the previous shot. The name tags on the bat-poles are also misaligned in the wider shot and perfectly at the same level in the close-up (which is a reused shot from the pilot episode). (00:05:10)

Batman (1966)

Fine Feathered Finks (1) - S1-E3

Factual error: The show is obviously full of cartoonish hyperboles; particularly amusing the notion that the "tempering furnace" in the back of Penguin's shop reaches 10'000° (I assume Fahrenheit), which would make it hotter than the surface of the Sun and able to melt any known metal on Earth. Bit of an overkill to temper umbrella ribs. (00:24:10)

Batman (1966)

The Joker Is Wild (1) - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Despite his lackadaisical pitching, the Joker manages to eliminate a series of batters. In particular, there is one elimination before and after the warden tells O'Hara about the joys in life, when Joker didn't really have time to throw the ball 2 more times. (00:01:55)

Batman (1966)

Batman Is Riled (2) - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: Right at the end of the obligatory Bat-rope climb scene, look at Robin's cape; the wire that is used to keep it in place (aka sticking out to make it look like it is subjected to gravity and drapes down) loses position too soon, so the real gravity causes the cloth to go towards the wall the dynamic duo is supposedly walking vertically on. (00:11:30)

Batman (1966)

The Joker Is Wild (1) - S1-E5

Other mistake: The Joker's escape is so cartoonish and ridiculous you wouldn't even know where to start; besides the fact that the explosion somehow engulfs instantly the whole baseball field, the guard on top of the wall is following his movement with the gun, so he sees the Joker, therefore the smoke screen is useless, not more effective in any way than the mere surprise of a coil suddenly springing up from the ground.

Batman (1966)

The Penguin's a Jinx (2) - S1-E4

Other mistake: In the pre-credits recap of part 1 of the episode we see Bruce awake and staring in horror (with actually a super hilarious face) at the furnace. It was not part of the previous episode at all and in fact Bruce wakes up only in this second episode.

Batman (1966)

The Joker Is Wild (1) - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The Joker sends a doll crashing through the window of Commissioner Gordon's office. O'Hara is holding in close-up the doll in a different way from the wider shots, and the jester cap of the figurine is also blatantly folded in a different fashion. (00:18:30)

Batman (1966)

The Penguin's a Jinx (2) - S1-E4

Other mistake: Penguin is able to follow from his office the unconscious Bruce Wayne on the conveyor belt. Considering the angle and how it keeps perfect close-ups of the moving target, it would mean he has a security camera in the back of his shop that is pointed on the conveyor belt and is mounted on a dolly (and he is not doing anything to control it). Definitely wins him Evil Overlord points. (00:02:40)
