Continuity mistake: Julia is apparently being helpful towards the stranger at the door. She is taking notes as he says his name and auto club card number. She is casting a visible shadow on the door, entirely gone in the close-up of the door itself. (00:08:15)

Betterman (1999)

Voice - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: During the scene in the break room, the poster with the beer shows a mug with a really tiny handle that touches the clouds at the horizon in some shot, and does not in others. (00:14:15)

Ghost Passenger Ship Murder Case: File 2 - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The first minutes of the episode are a dream sequence and normal logic may not apply. However, when Miyuki disappears, her drink is still there in the first shot, gone from the table in the wide shot, it is there again in close-up. That seems like an ordinary mistake, it's not as if Kindaichi is noticing Miyuki's disappearance AND a ghost lemonade mysteriously blinking in and out of existence. (00:03:00)

Other mistake: Ponty follows the instructions of the titular book, which follows the logical progression through the corporate ladder. However, when he becomes VP of advertising, he is reading from the very first pages.

Continuity mistake: During the crescendo and ending of "Gotta stop that man", the towel rests on Finch's upper arm and shoulder differently in different shots.

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: When the monster is revealed behind a column as the troops enter the building and it splits in two mirror images, they did not stop the clock in the background, which reveals whenever they stopped filming to change things in frame.

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode it is said that the events take place 38 hours apart. It's 2:25 PM. We see then Arashi get up in the middle of the night, so it could easily be midnight...but then he reaches the station and it's daylight, and the kid is in his car, even. Moreover, when the troops enter, a clock inside the building points 2:10.

Shinryakusha o ute - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Arashi pulls over in the street where the research station is. The car stops a few meters after the turn, but when it's shown again, it's much further into the street. (00:06:15 - 00:06:50)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: When Bette Davis' character bids farewell saying that the place resembles a mortuary, Maggie Smith next to her holds her bag to her chest, but in the next shot she is also holding her suitcase with the same hand. (02:16:40)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: The streak of blood on Simon's neck changes from the first time we see it to the time when the second gunshot is fired. (02:15:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Ponty rebuffs Hedy's offer and says "Rosemary's going to be my secretary" holding her by the bare upper arms in the first shot, her sleeves in the next. (01:24:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the rooftop party, the president tells the other executives that the boy is "loaded with ideas"; rather obvious continuity mistake when you look at the man on the far left, who in one shot is drinking and in the next is not. (01:15:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Finch is spying Mr. Ovington; between shots the position of his brush is inconsistent and there are obvious variations in the soaped up part of the window. (01:11:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Rosemary gifts Ponty a yellow flower for his new office. When she leaves and Miss LaRue saunters towards the desk, the flower is pointing the other way. (01:02:40)
