KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The beach umbrella is at least a foot off the sand, propped over the chairs. The husband and wife walk along the shore, and the umbrella is sitting on the sand. Also, the umbrella and chairs look closer to the water (but the tide does not change this fast). (00:03:55 - 00:04:32)

Christmas Time (2023)

Continuity mistake: Mr. Snowdon's whiteboard sketch of Santa's face and hat has a more polished look after he turns and faces his class. Santa's eyes are more oval-shaped, and his mouth looks more like a semi-circle than a rounded checkmark. Alternating views show the more distorted facial features. Mr. Snowdon's height relative to the white band on Santa's hat also varies. (00:02:09)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The chimney (display) with the "Please Give" sign on it is at ~ 45° angle to the building. After Justin kicks Santa, the chimney almost parallels the building. (00:27:28)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Mom pours orange juice to about an inch below the rim of the glass. The amount of orange juice varies between shots, with close-ups of Justin showing the glass fuller. (00:42:15)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The cell phone photo that David snaps does not look like the one in the photo frame. Most obvious is the gap between Gabby and Angie's heads and the reduced size of the snowman's head behind them. Even if David snaps another photo, the snowman's head is the same size and distance behind them. (00:41:58)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Gabby's head is turned to her left. She turns to her right, but she is instantly back to her head turned to her left, as if she never turned her head. (01:22:57)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Sofia unpacks Christmas ornaments from a large cardboard box on the floor, which has "BRAD" written on the side that faces the screen. Sofia closes the top flaps (off-screen), but does not have time or make the necessary movements to turn the box to a different side. When she picks up the box, "BRAD" is not written on the side. (00:09:50 - 00:10:35)

Ebbie (1995)

Continuity mistake: After Jake's head collapses onto the restaurant table and he is dead, the positions of his head and right hand vary with camera angle. His head is angled to his right; his right hand bends inward towards and almost touches his nose. The rear view shows his head higher and tilted to his left. In the left-side view, Jake's head is straight down, resting on his right wrist. Jake's head is tilted to the left again, with his right-hand fingers almost at the edge of the table. (00:54:30)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: After Sarah turns away from her mother and goes into the kitchen, the right side of her turtleneck sweater turns upwards in alternating views. (00:46:53 - 00:47:17)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Jackie holds her pen as she takes notes. Next, her pen is set on the legal pad and her hands are on her lap (below the table and pen). The camera returns to Jackie, and she continues to hold the pen as she takes notes the whole time. (This allows for other questionable variations that could occur off-screen, if enough time.) (00:38:57 - 00:39:29)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The mashed potatoes in the serving bowl vary in amount and appearance (flat or peaked) as it is passed around the table. Suddenly, the bowl is about half full, but is full again near the end of the "food fight." (00:28:05 - 00:28:52)

Christmas Freak (2021)

Continuity mistake: Rudy sets the snow globe at an angle to the right of the clear glass tree. The camera shifts to Clarice and back. The snow globe is gone, but the salsa bowl moves to the left and fills in the space. The snow globe and salsa bowl are back in place, indicating that the discrepancy is not due to Rudy handling the globe off-screen between views. Also, the large snowman figurine with the tall hat is visible in front views of Rudy, but not in rear views. (Other glassware appears to vary.) (00:21:35 - 00:22:00)

Christmas Freak (2021)

Continuity mistake: Rudy looks at the candy cane, which is broken off at the handle/arc. Rudy sucks on the candy cane while he talks to his mum on the phone. When Rudy removes the candy cane from his mouth, the curved part is longer than when he first puts it in his mouth. (00:08:40)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The husband takes photos of his bride as she walks towards him on the shore, which is free of rocks for yards in both directions. They take several steps along the shore, and there are big rocks in the water near the coastline. Alternating rear views show no rocks. (00:04:00 - 00:04:25)

Dating Santa (2023)

Continuity mistake: Lucia's hair goes from disheveled to styled during the time it takes for Pia to say (over the phone), "You've gone almost a decade without a single, serious relationship, Lucia." Moreover, Lucia is already applying mascara. It takes longer than 5 seconds to style/fix one's long hair. (00:01:23)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The angle of the landline phone and position of Armando's left hand/arm on the bar change with the camera's shift. Armando's fingers are at the edge, then his whole hand is over the edge of the bar. (00:11:45)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Elodie opens the front door, and it is perpendicular to the frame. Alternating shots show the door at approximately a 45° angle to the frame. (00:04:25)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Near the start the left side of Romy's hair dangles, but strands are suddenly held behind her ear. (00:06:45)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Jesse receives a "Turkey and Swiss" sandwich with the halves held together by party toothpicks. He apparently removes both toothpicks (one on-screen), but the toothpicks are back in the sandwich halves as if they have not been removed. (00:10:25 - 00:10:54)

EXmas (2023)

Continuity mistake: Graham lies with a rectangular food container set length-wise down his chest. When he picks up his fork (but does not rotate the container), the container suddenly becomes width-wise across his chest. (00:07:50)
