Other mistake: When Dr. Belson searches the blood donor database, a lot of weird stuff happens; first of all, he is searching it by name, and it's the name of Mr. Freeze's wife. Since for some weird reason she is shown later being in the donors database (doubtful that someone with an incurable disease would be a donor!), it should return the information about her, but it does not. Secondly, he is opening the database search again once Freeze promises the gold vein, and the form shows already the personal data of Nora but without her name this time, and including the blood type, which he types only in the next close-up. (00:20:50)

Plot hole: Mr. Freeze's old pal Dr. Gregory Belson needs to search for a compatible *organ* for Freeze's wife. He's trying to go through the proper channels at first, and search for, in his words, "available organs" and "deceased donors." The weirdest part about it is that he's searching the blood donors database. Why would the blood donors database have that kind of information? (00:19:20)

Continuity mistake: During the fundraiser, glasses of relevant guests (the woman in the red dress when she is introduced to Bruce, the stock broker when he is dragged away) disappear conveniently off-camera. It's quite a stretch to assume they found a waiter or a place to place the glass when they were not in frame (especially in the group of three women in front of the doors).

Sammo

Other mistake: At the end of the third chapter of the KOF'95 story, Geese and Billy are talking in an alley. The Fatal Fury Team is referred to as "The Starving Wolves", in contrast with the name always used to translate "Garou Densetsu" in the series of games and movies: "Legend of the Hungry Wolf."

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Cross found out that the picture missing is Charles Lindbergh's (like the blackboard says). He says then "Our Mr. Soneji has a sense of humor." The IT agent by him has her arms folded, hands visible at the elbows. Close-up on Morgan Freeman, and her hands are not on display anymore. (00:35:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Alex Cross is in front of a computer screen, checking out images of the class to spot the missing picture. From behind, Morgan Freeman is in pose with his finger on his temple, then lowers his hand and turns around. In the next shot, he's still holding his hand high as he is turning. (00:34:50)

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: The coroner asks Mary to tell everyone about the quarrel. Frontal shot of Mr. Wells; he is pointing his hand with the spectacles at a certain height. Reverse shot; the hand is lower, resting on the other hand, and only then he raises it to the same level as it was in the other shot. (00:53:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Batgirl roundhouse kicks one guy in the park. In the background, the victim has her left arm down, but it's up in the following shot. In that shot her walkman is also missing the cable linking the headset to it (it is there when Batgirl helps her stand later, same camera distance). (00:12:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The movie gets a lot of details right when it shows the establishing shot of the exterior of the fundraiser event Bruce Wayne goes to after the initial action; perfect continuity with the car models and people in the crowd ascending the stairs. But somehow, it has three people standing in front of the teal car, instead of 'just' two. (00:11:40)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: In the factory, Batman lies down the corpse horizontally/across the ramp he's walking on, but when he runs off, the body is turned 90°. It's already baffling that he took the time to deal with it at all, even more unlikely that he'd drag it on the floor looking for the best Feng Shui arrangement for it in the hostile environment. (01:10:10)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: Batman pulls from his back pocket the microphone/mind control thingy that Hush was using, and holds it in his fist. In the first shot though it's drawn upside down and the cables are sticking out from the bottom of Batman's fist. In the subsequent shots Batman is holding the device in the same raised fist by those cables. (01:07:40)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Batman and Jim Gordon are smashed through the wall of the interrogation room (which is directly in front of the cells for some reason), Batman is holding Gordon close and drops him during his landing, but in the full view of the corridor Gordon is at a right angle with Batman and distant, as if Batman launches him aside, which he did not (nor it would be physically possible). (01:05:50)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: After the montage with Batman and Catwoman partnering up to defeat Penguin and other villains, there's a view of the Batcave where you can make out of the shower and some clothes on the ground. It's easy to see the yellow bat-belt. But that belt is in front of the stairs when Alfred arrives, and when the shower is seen, there are other things in front, like Batman's full cape. (00:55:55)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: After apprehending Riddler, Batman crashes the window of the building where Hush appeared. By the window is half a mannequin, with a big shard of glass leaning against its pedestal. The glass quickly disappears (as most pieces of glass change place between shots) and the mannequin a couple of shots later ("We already have" line) is a full figure one. (00:49:40)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: With one of the first punches, Batman sends Joker gut-first into some crates, who end up knocking down a trash can in domino effect. The lid flies off, but in the next shot, the can is on the ground with what appears to be the lid still on. There is actually a lid on the ground a meter away though, so the lid doubled or they drew a huge upper rim to the can that was not there earlier. (00:41:25)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: Bane drops from the ceiling of the abandoned greenhouse and begins advancing towards Catwoman. In the side view you can see that the metal boxes (air conditioners or something like that) are quite distant from him and he walked past, but 2 shots later he comfortably reaches them with his arm without moving and rips one off throwing it at Selina. (00:20:40)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Video

Revealing mistake: After successful surgery, Bruce's friend shows him the first page of a newspaper with the headline about the news, "The National Whisper." The 'date' is "November 2016", which is a bit odd (a monthly newspaper?), but even better is the fact that it just sports obvious gibberish all over. The title of the boxed article is "Geiare la goer uoa oge ou osgeou osd ogoernis pgoer aoubepre obieri ai beiragoer." (00:17:15)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Continuity mistake: After chasing away the three stooges who were trying to kill an unconscious Batman, Catwoman and Batgirl are on their own in the alley. Random debris appears by the sidewalk and changes position. Also, given the position they are in when they fight, they should be stepping over Bruce Wayne's comatose carcass all the way through their exchanges. (00:13:00)

Batman: Hush (2019)

Factual error: It's a superhero movie, but the human Catwoman escapes Batman by jumping off the building, onto a train moving at full speed, in a fall that is shown taking at least 10 floors (first shot, she is still upside down) + another 10 (when she flips so she can land on her feet). Over twenty floors of casual, unassisted freefall jump feel a little over the top already, and again, it's on the top of a moving train, that alone should be impossible to happen the way it does here, not affected by the lateral speed of the train at all. (00:10:40)

Shaft in Africa (1973)

Plot hole: The Emir wants to test Shaft's ability to resist the desert, since he'll have to cross it in his trip, and so sets him up for a test; a room filled with sand, burning hot from dozens of lamps on the ceiling, that heat it all up to 110F. And they want him to walk for 8 hours in that room. But Shaft finds another solution; he digs a hole in the sand and lies in it. Which impresses the Emir greatly, so he shuts off the lamps and tells him he passed the test. How in the world digging a shallow bed and lying down in burning hot sand, with his head sticking out fully exposed, is any indication of being able to cross the desert, let alone survive it for 8 hours? He would have gotten a terrible sunburn with his head exposed as his body cooks in a sauna, and he is not an inch closer to getting to the other side of the imaginary desert.
