Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Phastos cures Thena's hysteric outburst by punching her lights out, he gets down on one knee to check on her. Which knee, that depends on the shot; right first, then left. (00:38:20)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Thena faces Phastos in Tenochtitlan, their exchange of blows ends with her striking a cool pose with her sword upside down. Angelina Jolie's hands are in two different positions in the two shots, though. (00:38:00)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: Ajak is trying to calm Thena down and initially she has some success, but the crack of a musket shot brings her back into the Mahd Wy'ry, and she attacks. Notice that Ajak blocks Athena's right arm with the back of her own right arm, but in the next shot the back of Salma Hayek's arm is against the inside of Angelina Jolie's left arm, so she gets free instantly and stabs her. (00:37:35)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: Sersi said "Bye" to Ajak's dead body. Lights begin to flicker and Ajak's throat to pulse; before the shot changes and the camera gets closer, look at Gemma Chan's hand sliding away from the thigh. It's firmly on top of her thigh again in the next shot, and when it cuts back to the first camera angle the hand is again more to the side. (00:33:55)

Eternals (2021)

Stupidity: The Eternals are in a rush to figure out what is happening to the world and reunite the group. So naturally they go to their spaceship, which also happens to be where the speedster of their group is, as last part of their trip. Ikaris (which admittedly has an agenda of his own, but the others don't know it and know his abilities) is with them from the beginning, can easily fly across continents and even makes it to the Sun from Earth in a comically short time at the end of the movie, but instead uses their comparatively slow spaceship to spread the word.

Eternals (2021)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Makkari peeks at the Babylonians having a scuffle, most people at the table are seated, but in the next shot it's a full fledged brawl with everyone at the tables participating. (00:26:35)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: After the presentation of the steam engine, Phastus leans against the same table as Druig. Change of angle, and he's in a different position. (00:24:40)

Eternals (2021)

Revealing mistake: Both Sersi and the student she saved have been covered by the fine dust she turned a fossil into, but the only trace of it is a little dust on top of the girl's hair; there's not a speck on her uniform or anywhere else. (00:09:55)

Breakers

Other mistake: One of the playable characters is an Italian fencer; he's definitely Italian, since not only that's what the manual says, there's an Italian flag on display in his stage. This "Italian" guy, though, has moves such as the "Bonjour shot" and the "Monsieur train", his voice lines have an unmistakeable (provided you can make sense of what he says, because the sampling is terrible) accent, and his name is PIELLE, which is a tragic botch of "Pierre", quintessential French name. In the remake "Breakers revenge" they change the flag from the Italian one to the French one, at least.

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: At the police station, Cotton sarcastically says "Ok then, book me." Look at the door the chief of police is walking towards, which has his name on. In close-up there is a string touching the C of "Captain", that is missing in the wide angle. (01:10:10)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Cotton presses Sid against the library wall acting all creepy, Neve Campbell's hair is arranged differently on her forehead, sometimes with a stray wisp, sometimes not. (01:08:05)

Scream 2 (1997)

Character mistake: The library of Windsor College is awful at cataloguing, since Sidney searches the "Social Sciences" section and her screen is full of books about Quantum Physics. (01:06:35)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Gale dispossesses a girl of her phone and starts arguing with the person on the other side. The girl has a friend to the left of the screen who just before Gale throws the phone back raises his hand. In the next shot his hand is on his knee. (01:03:45)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: The killer asks Randy what's his favourite scary movie; there's a POV of Randy that spots two girls sitting on the lawn. A tree behind them casts a big shadow in their direction, which changes orientation entirely in the shot when he touches the one with the phone. (01:03:10)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Gale, Dewey and Randy stand to go look for the killer who just phoned them. Throughout the earlier part of the scene the background behind David Arquette's close-ups showed the house and ground with a lot of sun filtering from the foliage, and the background behind Jamie Kennedy was much darker, but now you can see even the 'Arquette background' being dusky. (01:02:50)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Nobody moves after taking their masks off and looking at Sidney helpless on the floor. There's a close-up on two guys who take off their mask, one is a robust guy with short hair who removes a bearded old man mask. When Sidney flees, she passes by him, who is not standing close to the other guy anymore. (00:59:25)

Scream 2 (1997)

Factual error: The part of the play Sidney stars in begins with "All, behold the dreaded fate of Troy, that once stood proud and light upon the hills of Sparta." Please, what? There is a correlation between Sparta and Troy (the bride of the king of Sparta ran off with the prince of Troy, that was the casus belli), but phrased this way it does not make sense. (00:57:00)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Sid is talking to Gus, the drama teacher who is adamant that it's a good idea to put her in a scene with half a dozen masked people play-stabbing her. She says "I'm a fighter", and behind her there are a couple girls making their way through the seats and a guy carrying a drink from the other side. Gus swiftly replies "I didn't hear that", and the camera cuts back to Sid, showing the people who were in transit a split second before already perfectly seated. (00:55:35)
