Continuity mistake: When Simon frees the horse's reins from under the stone, the saddle blanket all of a sudden folds between shots. (00:13:25)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: On the top of the pyramid, Linnet whispers "Silly" to Simon's question about her happiness, and she holds him close. Her thumb is on display at the side of his bicep, but at the cut it's on the part of the arm that faces her. (00:12:20)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: In the introduction of her character, Bowers tells Mrs. Van Schuyler "What do I care" to her threat. She sits straight, with the cigarette hand slightly below chin level. In the wide angle she sits back, with the cigarette hand resulting at a higher position. (00:09:45)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: When Jackie tells Linnet that she has a favour to ask, she holds the box at different height and tilt during the conversation, and the position of her fingers on it changes as well. (00:05:40)

Death on the Nile (1978)

Continuity mistake: When the butler tells Linnet Ridgeway that the architect isn't there yet, she turns towards him dramatically in the first shot, and in the following she again turns towards him. (00:04:30)

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 4 - S2-E4

Factual error: The bittersweet ending is powerful from a dramatic point of view, but also impossible, because law (in Japan, at least) explicitly forbids organs coming from suicide victims to go to their family members, to prevent behaviour exactly like the one displayed here.

Young Kidaichi's Murder: File 4 - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Itsuki retrieves the floppy disk and shows it to the other people in the room, in the first shot the fingertip is on the plastic edge, in the second it's by the metal shutter. The color is off, since a few parts that are plastic are colored like metal. (00:05:00)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Revealing mistake: During the montage of the Ghostbusters starting the business, there's a shot (the one immediately following the Larry King cameo), where the trio are running down a street. Many people are staring at the camera; it may seem fine since the Ghostbusters are running towards the camera, and they are celebrities so it could be argued that the people are looking at them, not at the camera. Look at the guys to the left though; they are looking past them at the camera and one of them even quickly fixes his hair. (00:40:05)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Revealing mistake: In the montage showing the Ghostbusters' rise to success, the body of the USA Today article has nothing to do at all with them, and in fact it is a copy/paste real life article that talks about Geoffrey Faux, economist. A faux article, the prop guy must have had a laugh with that. (00:39:30)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: When the hotel manager says he won't pay the 5k, the trap is facing him with the top side. As it cuts to the Ghostbusters faking to just walk back in and release their catch, the trap turned 45°. (00:38:50)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Revealing mistake: When Egon tries to shoot Slimer, the wall is charred on the dark section, but the beam is shown hitting the white stucco, which bears no trace of its passage. (00:36:20)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Revealing mistake: You wouldn't want to sleep inside the Sedgewick hotel, and not because of its ongoing infestation at the 12th floor; a small food cart rolls into a wall and that alone makes it wobble. (00:33:20)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: The detective gives Gale the picture that she identifies; her thumb is in a different spot in each shot. (00:12:30)

Scream 3 (2000)

Continuity mistake: Detective Kinkaid tells Gale "I'm here because Cotton Weary's been murdered." Behind him in the corridor, a girl that was at the conference, in overals and a loud pink top. Reaction shot on Gale, and in the background, in a different corridor, the familiar denim-and-pink-girl. (00:12:20)

Death on the Nile - S9-E3

Factual error: When Jacqueline surprises the Doyles revealing her presence on the boat, she was initially covering her face with the December 1938 issue of Vogue. The story is set in January 1936.
