Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Derek gives Sidney his necklace and the two kiss. He puts his hand on her shoulder, then in the same shot the hand slides down, lower than the elbow. Wide shot, and he's still holding her shoulder. (00:50:00)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: After the meeting with the police chief, Gale asks Dewey to let her help out. During their conversation, the natural light changes wildly depending on the angle; just look at the collar of David Arquette's jacket. (00:45:50)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: Trying to kill Sidney, Ghostface plunges into the front door of Delta Lambda a knife that is soaked in blood - even if they already cleaned ACICI's. Derek on the other side of the door looks at a knife that is mostly clean except a couple of tiny specks by the blade, and Ghostface pulls the knife back again bloodstained. (00:39:40)

Scream 2 (1997)

Visible crew/equipment: Hearing about what happened at Omega Beta Zeta, Derek tells Sidney "let's get you home" and when she gets inside the camera comes closer to Jerry O'Connell for a dramatic shot...that catches in frame part of the stage light. Actually spotted by Wes Craven during the DVD commentary track. (00:38:35)

Scream 2 (1997)

Continuity mistake: When ACICI apologizes for calling the guy "Ted" and says "I thought you were someone else" she is suddenly touching her left cheek between shots. (00:30:00)

Curious Expedition

Factual error: You can get idols depicting lamas not just from tribes in South America, but also Africa. Not exactly a part of the local fauna.

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Sersi is interrogating the students, the one in third row who keeps drawing has a bunch of markers on his desk that keep changing position throughout the scene. (00:09:00)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: Sersi asks the question about predators; two students answer mentioning lions and wolves, and do it from a position entirely different from the previous shot. (00:09:25)

Eternals (2021)

Factual error: It can be argued that the MCU is not quite our world, but certainly mirrors it closely - after all, the movie makes a point to feature real life dates and events such as Hiroshima, showing that even Cap America's actions in Europe didn't alter the outcome of WW2. It's then quite puzzling to see then Sersi gifting the savages in Mesopotamia a golden dagger that reproduces with precision one of the golden daggers in the tombs from Ur; they were Mesopotamian artefacts, sure, but from around 2600 BC and the scene takes place in 5000 BC.

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Makkari brings the kid to safety at the beginning of the movie, a couple of her braids are behind the shoulder in the first shot, and in front of her shoulder in the next. (00:03:40)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: The Ghostbusters pick up the 'symbol' for their fight by looking at the license plate of their Ecto 1A, which sports in close-up the Statue of Liberty right between the O and the 1. Problem is, in the rest of the movie, and that includes just a few shots before when they were blasting the jelly shell with their protons, Lady Liberty is to the left of the plate, before the E. (01:26:15)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Other mistake: When the Ghostbusters are inside Lady Liberty, you can see from their close-ups and from shots inside the head that the windows that form the crown are narrower than their shoulders. Despite that, they easily make the drop on the villains from there, while carrying huge backpacks (the slime ones have large tanks even). (01:30:20)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: When Hardenmeyer is escorted away from the room, the Mayor points his finger at a staffer and tells them to get the Ghostbusters. Another staff member calls his attention, but in that shot we see David Margulies through the window, and he is in a completely different position. (01:22:10)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Revealing mistake: During the montage of the ghosts running rampant in NY, one of them in the shape of some sort of dinosaur pops through the archway in Washington Square. It's a ghost solid enough to have to squeeze through the opening and not just disappear through the marble, but when it roars menacingly the optical effect does not work and the superimposed monster does in fact pass through the solid stone. (01:20:10)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: When Ray calls New York "a burned-out burg", a group of firemen behind the Ghostbusters is starting a fight. Cut to Ray in close-up and the fun background activity is no more. (01:25:50)

Urutora sakusen dai ichi gô - S1-E2

Revealing mistake: When Bemular and Ultraman wrestle by the river, evidently the stunt double's arm couldn't fit inside the Bemular's T-rex arms, because they are entirely lifeless and instead of 'wrestling', the scene is basically Ultraman rolling around hugging a big rubber log. (00:21:10)
