Security (2017)

Plot hole: Once Ben Kingsley has decided that the assault on the mall will happen, the good guys are given an insane amount of time to talk to the kid and calm her, have a nice conversation about what is happening, hole her up in a safe position, observe the vanguard of the baddies scout the parking lot and just then do all sort of A-Team style preparations, barricading the front door and booby-trapping the entrance. The villain is in a rush, knows the layout of the mall and does not fear the unarmed mall cops; there's no way they had time to do all that. Especially since his plan consists exactly of the brute force assault ("driving through" the front doors) that a little earlier Eddie mentioned, contradicting the stated purpose of not drawing attention from passing patrols.

Security (2017)

Security mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Close to the door of the staff room as he is on the verge of leaving, Mason during the scene has sometimes the tie of his uniform draped over the backpack he's carrying, while in other views the tie is straight down his chest as normal. (00:36:30)

Security (2017)

Continuity mistake: Midway through the scene when the guards discuss the intentions of the assailing force disabling their cars, specifically when Vance says "He is now" (in charge), Mason's bag turns around in his arms for no reason. He was clutching it with the colored size closer to his chest, and then it's the opposite. (00:36:05)

Security (2017)

Continuity mistake: Eddie and the others are looking at parking cameras; when Vance stands from his crouching position to say "Oh shit, they're gonna find Betty", he brings his hand to his mouth - not so in the following close-up on Banderas, where you see Vance's arm relaxed along his side. (00:35:35)

Security (2017)

Security mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Jamie is holding at (toy) gunpoint Eddie; she has her thumb on the 'barrel', but it cuts mid-sentence to a close-up as she says "You don't cut me out and don't talk to me like a child", and her thumb is now on the 'fore-end' (if it makes sense with a toy weapon). (00:31:25)

Security (2017)

Stupidity: The supposed criminal mastermind had exactly what he wanted right at the beginning; all he wants is killing the girl, and he knows (he says it himself) that he is facing just mall cops who carry no weapons. But he utterly wastes for no reason the 'first contact', when his intentions are not known to the occupants. If only he had a gun, or brought along a guy hiding a weapon instead of 'suitcase full of bribe money dude' (which only shows how easy it would have been for him to have backup), he could have easily killed everyone through the doors when they were sitting ducks, with no fear of retaliation whatsoever. Nobody as ruthless and daring as he supposedly is, would show up unarmed for no reason.

Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition mistake picture

Other mistake: Throughout the game (cutscene with Terry, banner and posters in Billy Kane's stage) several times the name of the tournament is written "King of THE Fighters", with a misplaced "THE" that screams betrayal considering the most popular SNK franchise and storyline tournament, started by the first Fatal Fury itself, is "The King of Fighters", the complete title of the first FF being "Fatal Fury; King of Fighters."

Security (2017)

Security mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the evil boss is trying to talk Vance into opening the door, in certain shots the gap between the doors is barely as wide as Ben Kingsley's head, in others the gap is much larger, and he is leaning closer to either side. (00:28:00)

Security (2017)

Security mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Vance does the military salute to welcome Eddie on the team, getting an icy stare and "Really?", in the two shots there's a glaring discontinuity in the position of Vance's epaulette, arched in the first shot, straightened out perfectly in the second. (00:20:15)

A Bigger Splash (2015)

Continuity mistake: As Marianne (sort of) orders a daiquiri, Penelope is leaning back deep into the chair, hands and arms off the table. Next shot she's leaning forward, arms on the table. (00:10:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Bev says "Guy will give me a deal as soon as he hears me sing", Gail's hand is on the bowl of her glass. It's on the stem before and after. It keeps switching that way depending on the angle. (00:13:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the dinner scene between Luke and Bev, Luke's glass sometimes (for instance, when Bev botches the band name and says "Moose") is almost empty, while being full most of the time. (00:51:00)

Peril at End House - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Poirot shows Freddie the bullet, in the close-up his hand is right by the sugar bowl, but he was shown putting the cigarette holder at greater distance, closer to Freddie herself. (00:25:05)

Peril at End House - S2-E1

Audio problem: Nick gets supposedly grazed by a bullet fired while the plane's noise has already diminished considerably, making quite unlikely that any gunshot could be drowned out by it. (00:06:50)

Eastern Promises (2007)

Eastern Promises mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Anna brings Semyon only copies of the original diary. The sheets are held together by handbag clips, which are closed in the close-ups, and open in the views from her angle. (00:23:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Gail introduces Guy to Bev, Guy's hand is under his chin in the foreground when Luke eyerolls at the whole ordeal, but his arms are all down in any other shot. (00:07:00)

Peril at End House - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Poirot and Hastings are eating after their first visit to End House. During the entire scene, natural light changes in intensity depending on the angle of filming. (00:20:15 - 00:21:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: There are three pieces of banana on the platter when Ravi is making the offering to Gail's "personal divinity." He picks one up, then at the cut only one is left. (00:17:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the surreal 'negotiation' between the Dean and her vice over how many steps it takes to fire her, Ms. Plumberg's wisp is absent in the shots from behind. (00:48:40)
