Continuity mistake: Mr. Maurice Horton is dining on the terrace while the bellboy "envelops him", as he puts it. In the close-up of the content, Richard Griffiths 's fingers hold the card by the top left corner. In the previous and following shots though, his hands are at the middle of the card and, even more importantly, there's a flyer behind it that is missing in the close-up. (00:09:25)

Revealing mistake: Inspector Emil arrives at the morgue; pay attention to the body, just before he asks "You are...?" to Armstrong, the sheet covering the cadaver rises and fall as the departed takes a few deep breaths. (00:32:00)

Continuity mistake: Chi Chi turns around after being hit by the guy she's practicing with; her ponytail flips side in the reverse shot. (00:36:00)

Social Animals (2018)

Social Animals mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The two friends are talking at the beginning of the movie. Claire says "To be fair, I am drunk half the time" just as she pops a snack in her mouth. New shot and Claire is holding a cigarette in the same hand she just used to feed herself, laughing at that joke in a huge puff of smoke. (00:04:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Back at the police station from the hardware store, Cliff puts down a cardboard box full of stuff. He shows Mindy a couple of items, one being a funnel. He puts the funnel down, inside the box. At the next cut, the funnel is right on the corner of the box. (00:59:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the car towards the end, Cliff has his hands crossed on the wheel, right hand on top. "May I ask you a question?" he goes. Cut to Adam Driver, and when the camera is back on Bill Murray, he is still leaning dejected, but with the left hand on top. (01:29:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The three kids in juvi are looking at the zombie horde press against the windows. Geronimo through the first phase (until the guard cries out "Save me!") has his hands off the top of the seat when viewed from behind, while his right hand is holding to it in front views. (01:06:15)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: When Hank severs the head of the second zombie with the shears, the body staggers against the barricade, and one of the planks that is supposedly keeping away a throng of zombies from the HW store wobbles going noticeably out of place. (01:05:50)

Sammo

Factual error: Bobby's shotgun hit blasts a hole through the head of the first zombie entering the store, but the zombie directly behind it, as well as the barricade, are unscathed. The shells can hardly penetrate this much, wide and clean through the head and then disappear with no trace. (01:35:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the two dead golfers sit up, Tilda Swinton says "Good grief!" and places the green powder container on the magazine before pushing the chair back. In the overhead shot that follows, the powder moves to the table. (01:02:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the police station, Ronnie gets up and switches the table lamp off when Mindy stands. Wrong continuity at the cut, though. Adam Driver still has the hand on the lamp, but his other hand is suddenly on the back of his own chair (it wasn't before), and Chloe Sevigny suddenly has her jacket in her right hand which was on the back of her chair. (00:20:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: A couple times during the trip before stopping for gas as "The dead don't die" plays on the radio, Jack's arm moves from the top of the window to the bottom between shots (when the song goes "For the lights to shine down on" and when Zack passes him the energy drink). (00:39:15 - 00:39:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Fern and Lily are dead on the floor of the diner, but the 'crowd' outside apparently can see them from windows that are roughly at the height of their heads, and keeping distant from the flower beds. Most curtains in that area were also completely pulled.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the car after the visit to Hermit Bob, Adam Driver's radio microphone fights a constant battle for position between shots with his seatbelt. The most obvious bit is when he says "Yeah this isn't gonna end well", and the seatbelt is covering the radio. (00:06:20)

The African Queen (1951)

Continuity mistake: During the conversation on the porch that follows Samuel Sayer's death, Katharine Hepburn is obviously lit differently depending on the camera angle; in close-ups her chest is fully shadowed, while in the wider angles (with Bogey in frame or not), light reaches the first button of her dress. (00:17:25)

The African Queen (1951)

Continuity mistake: After the death of her brother, Katharine Hepburn is sitting on the porch. The knitting kit on the table is showing some blue fabric peeking off the lid, and there's a reel next to it. In the close-up that follows, white fabric is showing (the blue one is on the opposite side, barely visible) and the distance of the reel has changed. (00:16:20)

The African Queen (1951)

Continuity mistake: The reverend shoves aside a German officer and gets smacked in the face with a rifle. Robert Morley sports heavy blue makeup, a not-so-believable instant ecchymosis. In the next scene the village ruins are still smoking, but his face is clean; the bad bruise and little cut on the lip have vanished without a trace. (00:12:00)

The African Queen (1951)

Continuity mistake: The reverend and his sister get on their knees to pray for England as Allnut leaves with the news of war. Reverend Sayer has his jacket unbuttoned; hearing the shout from the villager announcing the Germans' arrival, his blazer is suddenly buttoned up when he rushes to talk to him. (00:11:00)
