Continuity mistake: Michelle is on-air when the wall clock fluctuates between 10:27 and 10:43, but her show hours are 12:00 - 4:00 AM. During a subsequent show, the clock times that are displayed range between around 3:16 and 3:31. At one point, the clock goes from 3:30 to 3:25 and then 3:31. (00:01:50 - 00:50:07)

KeyZOid

Deliberate mistake: There is one vertical board missing between the other parallel boards, but the upper half of the gap is wider and forms a "V" when Mark is videotaping Jenna (who is on the other side of the fence). The missing board, between two parallel boards, has a uniform width from top to bottom. (00:08:40)

KeyZOid

Factual error: Lenny, using a manual typewriter in 1889, would not be able to type that fast or the striking keys be able to produce a sound similar to that of an electronic typewriter (not available until decades later). A manual typewriter's single key had to have time to retract (at least partially) before the next key could strike to prevent the keys from overlapping and getting stuck together. Equally paced, rapid striking sounds were not possible for an extended period of time. (00:47:07)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Story 2: Myosotis. The beekeeper's wife had her back to the dishwasher, so should fall/slip face-up onto the dishwasher (and knife), but she was face-down. (00:25:35 - 00:26:15)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Leila places Stephen's wallet in the corner of the tray, practically aligned with both sides, but the wallet is at an angle when she places his keys on the tray. (There's no indication that she bumps the tray or wallet when she sets the keys on the tray.) (01:06:20)

KeyZOid

Trivia: After the credits (first set) roll and the song ends, there is another 2 minutes of the movie. Mortician Leila Walsh examines and catalogs the personal effects of Stephen Jenson - and finds something "interesting" in his pocket. (01:04:00 - 01:05:20)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Jenna takes one red cup from the 3 stacked next to the higher stack and returns the two cups to her left (and left of the higher stack). Jenna uses her left hand, supported by her right, to handle the bottle of wine, but the 2 cups disappear after she sets the bottle on the table. (00:19:50 - 00:20:14)

Blight (2022)

Revealing mistake: Luke points a flashlight along the side of the staircase, but no shadows are produced on the wall from the vertical posts. Luke points the flashlight in front of himself and produces his shadow on the wall behind (and the shadow doesn't look like the way he is holding the flashlight). After Luke goes through the entryway aiming his flashlight ahead, a circle of light is behind him. The power is out, so the flashlight is the only light source - except that used for filming in the dark. (01:03:00 - 01:05:25)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The wall clock is at approximately 10:27 and advances to about 10:43, then returns to 10:27. During Keith's 5-second countdown for Michelle to go back on air, the clock jumps from 10:27 to 10:43. (00:01:50 - 00:03:07)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Lenny is holding his drink in his right hand, but his glassless hand comes down along the right side of the screen with him rubbing his fingers together, then he is shown holding the glass again. (01:01:10)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Wingate pours two whisky glasses almost half-full. He pushes one glass across the table to Stubb, and the glass has less than half as much whisky in it. Wingate's glass - now closer to him - appears to have a little more than he poured into the glass. (00:22:15)

MobKing (2023)

Continuity mistake: The front view of the desk shows a few neatly arranged and parallel piles of papers, but the view from the desk's chair shows the piles non-aligned and the highest pile (thick file folder) more askew than the others. None of the men are touching the papers. (00:07:30)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: [Story 4: The Good Word] The sides of Ma Taggart's hair change, from varying degrees of frizziness to defined curls. While she talks to Ivan, rear views show one distinct, wide curl of bangs on her right side, but front views show frizzier hair. After she serves tea and sits, the left side of her hair also changes, to two more distinct loops around her ear (which are later more relaxed). (01:12:37 - 01:15:24)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: [Story 4: The Good Word] The bar of soap is propped against the side of the washbasin, and Mr. Taggart is drying his hands with a towel above the basin. He lowers his hands and continues drying them, but the soap is now setting flat on the table, inches away from the basin. (01:20:10)

KeyZOid

Character mistake: [Story 1: Hungry Joe] It isn't clear what blood test results the doctor receives for Joe, but Laura pleads that she "really needs to know what's wrong with her son" because "He eats, he eats, and he eats, and he never stops." The doctor dismisses Laura's concern and replies, "Growing boys eat... we'll see you in six months." The doctor should order additional tests. Blood tests can show "false negatives" and the appropriate blood tests may not have been ordered in the first place. (00:04:25 - 00:05:18)

Unseen (2023)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the video call, Emily's camera is aimed directly in front of a large branch/tree trunk that has fallen horizontally. As she scans the log-like branch, Sam's phone shows all upright trees. Even allowing for a reception delay, Sam's phone never shows the log. [The images are even displayed on a split screen.] (00:19:30)

Bite the Dust (2023)

Continuity mistake: Dutch's body is at an angle to, and at least a foot away from Rosemary's, when he tells her she should move. The camera switches to a front view, and they are already shoulder-to-shoulder (linearly) with her left arm through his right elbow. (00:17:00)

Shackled (2023)

Continuity mistake: Aamal hangs her daughter's photo from the rearview mirror, and it usually extends beyond the height of the mirror by an inch or so. However, the close-up shows the entire photo within the mirror. (00:15:54)

Shackled (2023)

Factual error: The thick chain-links - between both sides of the driver's door - do not prevent the door from being completely closed (but ought to). (00:13:55 - 00:14:33)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The wall clock, after staying at around 10:12, jumps 4 minutes (to 10:16) in less than 20 seconds. (00:01:05)
