Dumplin' (2018)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, with Dolly Parton playing on the car radio, we see the nose of the car driven by Aunt pass by a red Kia with a bunch of girls doing their exercises running on the sidewalk. A few seconds later though, from the passenger window we see they are passing by the same car and same girls while the song is playing and they sing along to it.

Someone Great (2019)

Continuity mistake: When we see Erin and Leah for the first time, they're talking and smoochin'. Despite the conversation being continuous, the reciprocal position of their hands changes abruptly between shots at the beginning (Erin's hand is on the outside of Leah's, then on the inside, then outside again). (00:05:25)

Character mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, introductory technobabble. "In this canister, there's a solution of protons. The canister is attached to a rotor circuit that generates the protons to the speed of light." I believe the science genius and creator of time travel mixed up the words "generate" and "accelerate" here. (00:00:50)

Tooth Fairy (2010)

Factual error: Derek's license plate not only contains an illegal character (and Michigan's Secretary of State seems to be quite strict on vanity plates too), but also the state of MI issues just one plate. Derek's car has identical Michigan plates both front and back.

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As Miss Fisher gulps down her stiff drink thanking Butler the butler, she holds her hand in her lap all bent and twisted in a quirky claw shape. There was no indication of it in the previous shot, where she was simply rubbing her thumb. (00:06:35)

Death by Miss Adventure - S1-E10

Character mistake: Dr. Mac's first words in this episode are "Her name was Daisy Miller." Only, it was not. In the office with the boss, Jack asks about "Daisy Murphy's death", same for the tea lady. And in the end credits indeed her last name is Murphy. (00:01:30 - 00:05:55)

Wu Assassins (2019)

Ladies' Night - S1-E8

Plot hole: Tommy's interrogation scene is followed in quick succession (as CG jokingly said, the captain 'comes running') by the jail scene with CG. No matter what, the time elapsed is nowhere near 1 hour, or half of that, maybe barely a quarter.

Jessica Jones (2015)

AKA Ladies Night - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jessica tells Trish "I was never the hero you wanted me to be" you can see in the foreground Trish's back. When she turns around after saying "I'll get your money", hair is under her scarf that was not poking out before. (00:40:20)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Wheels on Meals mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the limo pulls over to ask directions to the protagonists, Jackie has washed away the soap from one corner of the van, but when he turns around to talk to the bowler hat guy, the front of the van is back being all bubbly-soapy. (00:05:10)

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As they are waiting for the events to unfold at the bank in Church street, Miss Fisher tells the constable to try and look natural. The poor nervous chap holds his hand on the lapel of the coat at a different height between shots. (00:48:30)

Cocaine Blues - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the music starts, Miss Fisher puts her glass down, behind Aunt Prudence to go dance with Sasha. Throughout the whole scene she had been the only one with a red drink, but this time she has a yellow drink like everyone else. (00:23:30)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: When the bad guy punches Lola Forner in the mouth, she falls over dropping her bag and box in front of her. On the floor, she does not move, and yet when the goons stand her up, her belongings are far back in the corridor. (00:43:40)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the scene at the restaurant with all the fat guys, Moby (Sammo Hung) drinks wine by the decanter, and spills some on his lapel. When he is shown at the counter making his exit, the jacket is all dry. (00:32:40)

Burn Burn Burn (2015)

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the movie, when they play the guessing game, Alex asks "Am I Dan?" Her index finger in the close-up is placed on the lid of the container, while it was well below it in the previous shot.

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: When the prostitute in the alley asks Gloria's daughter if she's new, she brings a cigarette to her mouth. In the shot that follows she is repeating the same gesture, starting with her lips curled in a smile. (00:26:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Sofia tells John "We leave in 10 minutes" and turns around, the dog to the left of John has its mouth closed in the first shot, mouth open and tongue out all the way panting in the second one. (00:45:10)

Couples Retreat (2009)

Other mistake: The program the couple receives at dinner the first day has 6am marked as "Couples skill building", followed at 9am by "Dr. Marcel's activity." But all their mornings begin with Marcel's activity.

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Wheels on Meals mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Jackie jumps off his balcony the first morning, the Spanish grocer is ducking with his hands above his head, while in the close-up of Jackie landing he's using his hands to shield his veggies. (00:04:00)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: When Sylvia kicks the keys under the door, the longer key points towards Moby as it slides, but towards the door in the reverse shot. (00:44:05)
