Continuity mistake: Alva stands up from the swinging bench after the Hummingbird Express has passed. Sidney, by her, has his left hand firmly on the armrest, but the same arm is across his lap in the next shot as if he tried to reach for her. (00:22:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Peeved by Owen's trick about the gator and ducks pond, Alva gets outside the kitchen, where instantly she stumbles into Sidney. She is holding her right hand in front of her mouth, which becomes a left hand to her chest with the closer angle. (00:20:55)

Continuity mistake: Willie was setting Owen up in Papa's room but storms outside to halt the drunk guys. She says "Get out of here Linsday Tate" with her hair in front of both shoulders, but in the previous shot she was standing with her hair behind her right shoulder. (00:12:05)

Continuity mistake: Robert Redford has no cigarette before jumping off the train passing by Dodson, suddenly has a lit cigarette in mouth, then not, then one in hand that he tosses away. What he does not toss is his suitcase before getting off the train. But his luggage is there for him anyway right after. (00:06:20)

Continuity mistake: Robert Redford is behind the train motorman. He is holding on to the top of the cart, but for the first close-up showing his face in the movie, evidently they didn't want his jacket to bundle up as his arms were lifted: he is in a completely different position. But he's again clinging to the top of the cart in the following shot. (00:06:10)

Factual error: Chucky murders his first (human) victim as he was taking down the Christmas lights, making him fall in the watermelon patch in front of his house. Shane must have an uncanny green thumb, to be able to have fully grown watermelons in winter.

Suggested correction: Dan was never wearing a wire. There are several ways he could be in communications with Chloe that didn't require a wire, which he would just remove or turn off when meeting the fixer.

The Would-Be Prince of Darkness - S1-E3

Plot hole: During the credits, Chloe said of the victim "coroner puts her time of death between 1 and 3am", and she does indeed ask Ty's obsessive fan / ex-gf where has she been during that timeframe. When she looks at the security tape, the timecode starts rolling at 22:18 and goes on "for 3 hours." That does not account for the time of the murder at all, she has no alibi for the second half of the suspected timeframe! Not to mention, she said she saw Ty kiss the victim. When could she possibly have seen that? It's unlikely that before 10pm Ty was already drunk and getting randy with the girl, with the house full of guests. (00:25:00)

Child's Play (2019)

Plot hole: Since the "Buddi" doll is designed simply to be a child's toy, able at most to carry items like a book or a banana, and Chucky in this movie is not a supernatural creature, it's hard to explain how it is strong enough to, for instance, carry the heavy watermelon across town and lift it in position. Even if his safety locks have been removed, a toy designed to be in the crib with toddlers wouldn't be built with the kind of lifting power shown here (we also see it assembled and it does not have a terminator skeleton or something like that, it's mostly plastic).

Child's Play (2019)

Plot hole: Karen forbids her son from playing with Chucky, because he's spending too much time with it on top of it scaring the cat, and locks it up in a cabinet. The cabinet ends up broken (Chucky broke it but she does not know), the cat conveniently disappears (Chucky killed it but she does not know), but the mother is totally cool about it, the plot point is forgotten and Andy faces no punishment or questioning for it. Any mother would be alarmed and would make a big deal of it possibly even throwing the doll away (she does not care, she did not pay for it), but that sort of drama is delayed until much later in the movie, for no internal reason.

Plot hole: The Vietnamese sweatshop is structured in a way that makes no real sense: the workers seem to be randomly in charge of everything and nothing instead of having specialized, streamlined tasks. Already makes no sense that a low level employee would be able to reprogram a state of the art AI chip, it makes even less sense from a production standpoint that he'd also be given a disassembled doll, dress it, etc.

Child's Play (2019)

Continuity mistake: Having dinner at the mom of Detective Mike's, look at Mike's hand when she gets up saying "That's all." His hand is suddenly raised, eating, while they were both down and empty in the previous shot. Similarly a moment later Andy gives a nervous look to the gift, fork vertical - but he's eating in the following shot. (00:51:20)

Continuity mistake: After giftwrapping the melon head, Andy and friends stumble upon his mom. When she asks "What is that?" her necklace pendant is stuck into the right part of the blouse. When she asks "Present? For who?" the necklace is placed differently. (00:43:25)

Plot hole: Joker douses everyone in Arkham with the Ooze mixed with the water sprinklers. One of the first ones to mutate is Mr. Freeze, despite wearing a suit and helmet that keep him hermetically sealed from the external environment at the 0 temperature he needs.

Late Night (2019)

Continuity mistake: Molly was not informed and arrives at the first writer meeting 2 hours late, carrying cupcakes. She puts the 3 boxes on the table. The stack is at one point suddenly perfectly aligned (when Katherine asks her "What do you think?" but the pieces are again not perfectly lined up just after. (00:18:55)

Late Night (2019)

Continuity mistake: The group of writers is prepping for the job interview with the young brother of one of them. Hayes as he listens to the instructions is keeping his hands in front of the chest in the close-ups, which is not reflected in the side views, when his arms are always down his sides. (00:06:45)

Late Night (2019)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, in the scene when Katherine ends up firing the writer who asked for a raise, check out her assistant: he is reflected in the glass behind Gabe Eichler, and his posture as he gets uneasy when Katherine starts blasting the writer is often different between the front views and the reflection. For instance when she says "You are fired, obviously" Bradley is looking up, arms folded, but touches his face in the reflection. (00:04:40)

Late Night (2019)

Revealing mistake: The camera holds on a close-up of the article featuring the 'Female President of the Network' Caroline Morton for 3-4 seconds, long enough to allow to quickly browse the text and easily see that it's a generic article about women in workplaces used as filler text and not the interview Katherine is reading.

Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2

Other mistake: We are shown several times the first person perspective of a paparazzi camera, with the HUD. From a diegetic point of view though, it is used in a way that lacks coherence. For instance, in the red carpet scene the photo count goes down by one every time the shutter clicks, while in the car scene it does not go down at all. And it really could not have been Josh's camera in the red carpet scene, because it photographed Chloe once he already escaped and from behind.
