Kiss the Girls (1997)

Continuity mistake: During the press conference, when Kate is giving her speech the scene is lit very differently depending on the camera angle (the shadow cast by the microphones is a good indication of that). (00:54:30)

Shaft in Africa (1973)

Continuity mistake: In the coastal town, Shaft gets bitten by Ziba to the point of bleeding the thick red goop that passes off as blood in the movie. However he is perfectly unharmed in the following scene. (01:12:30)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

Revealing mistake: In the overhead shot of Eddie flipped back by the plank decking him in the jaw, look when he lands; the modest impact makes a chimney supposedly made of bricks wobble conspicuously. (00:26:05)

Kiss the Girls (1997)

Continuity mistake: Cross is at the police station, enraged by the premature arrest. Kyle says "Alex, not all", and hands him a folder. The folder is turned in opposite directions between shots. (01:20:45)

Kiss the Girls (1997)

Continuity mistake: Cross and Kate are in the woods, and discussing the bicoastal nature of the serial killer. Ashley Judd's hair changes position in front of her shoulders several times between shots. (01:00:45)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

Continuity mistake: Veeko screams in Norby's face when he touches the hand pounded by the gorilla; Norby has both hands in front of his mouth as reaction, but they disappear in the reverse shot. (00:48:50)

Shaft in Africa (1973)

Continuity mistake: Having received the Colonel's big knotty stick, Shaft is cupping his special pouch; you can see it turn around (look at the strings). (00:34:50)

Shaft in Africa (1973)

Continuity mistake: Chi Chi after her fight runs to hug Goku. Right by him there's a guy in a brown gi; he's so close that in the shots from behind Justin Chatwin you can still see that ugly gi in frame. All of a sudden though, once Goku asks "What's this?" referring to Chi Chi's scratch caused by Mai, Brown Gi Guy, so conspicuous earlier in his standing, is now sitting, out of the way. He is up and seen in the act of sitting at the next shot from behind. (00:50:10)

Sammo

Other mistake: Once Goku has punched Mai in the face, his friend joins him and there's a shot of the monster corpses in the lava shifting and being swallowed by the incandescent substance. In the green screen background conversation with Muten though, the corpses are still there, completely unmoving - not that it made any sense to begin with that they'd stay put, indestructible, forever. (00:46:35)

Sammo

Stupidity: Goku defeats the henchwoman of Piccolo in the lava pit quite easily; she looks human. He is quite content to just push her off-camera with a smack, and nobody cares about trying to talk to her, figure out Piccolo's location and plan, or anything like that. Everyone just forgets about her, and it turns out she even eavesdrops on the lot before leaving. Someone would so casual about meeting and defeating the mysterious enemy only in a movie where you know the script already. (00:46:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After creating a videogame-like bridge in the lava pushing enemies in it, Goku jumps on the parapet. There's an obvious inconsistency here; in the first shot when he puts his hands on the edge, Bulma and especially Yamcha are nowhere near ready. In the following shot Goku has yet to pop the head past the edge but Yamcha and Bulma are leaning against it comfortably already. (00:45:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Searching for the ball in the lava pit, Bulma holds the radar in a close-up with both hands, the left one has a finger pointed underneath the fingers of the right. In the previous and following shot she 's running the index in front of them. (00:43:40)
