And Then I Go (2017)

Continuity mistake: The glass bowl of spaghetti is filled within about 2" from the top, but the mound in the center almost reaches the rim when Janice carries it to the table. After Tim serves at least 1 cup servings onto 4 plates, the bowl looks just as full as it is when Edwin leaves the table. (00:14:27 - 00:16:17)

Mortal Thoughts (1991)

Continuity mistake: Cynthia walks alone to Joyce's house and also leaves by herself to clean the van. She speeds away from the house in order to clean the van in secret, but she somehow has her toddler son with her while she is cleaning the van. (00:46:45 - 00:52:16)

Mortal Thoughts (1991)

Revealing mistake: When Joyce and Cynthia are standing at the rear of the van, a carload of young men pulls up behind them. The men appear to take several steps before reaching them, so the car is not parked very close behind the van. When one of the men gets back into the front passenger seat, his car door is so close it looks more like it is the passenger door on the van, not the car. (00:34:14 - 00:34:35)

Mortal Thoughts (1991)

Character mistake: Cynthia Kellogg comes forward to voluntarily give information about the James Urbanski case. Detective Nealy tells Kellogg, "As a matter of procedure, I have to inform you of your rights." Kellogg says she didn't do anything so doesn't need a lawyer. Nealy replies, "This is your right" and proceeds to inform her of her Miranda Rights. Miranda warnings are applicable to suspects/defendants who are in police custody (under arrest) and about to be interrogated, not voluntary witnesses. (00:03:02 - 00:03:57)

10 Minutes Gone (2019)

Revealing mistake: Obvious use of green screen for buildings across the street. On and off, the background fades, and buildings appear higher or lower depending on the camera's angle. At one point, the angle of walls behind Rex (Bruce Willis) is at a downward angle, and his head is almost touching the ceiling. (00:06:10 - 00:07:25)

Continuity mistake: At the restaurant, Dr. April's bangs usually have several gaps in them across her forehead (similar to a sawtooth pattern), but are more evenly combed at times. The movement of her head does not change the sawtooth pattern as she turns, so is not enough to explain the variation. (00:05:00 - 00:05:30)

Stupidity: Dr. April (as well as her patient Mrs. B) is nonchalant when her young nephew Zeke brings his dog hit by an automobile into the hospital. Dr. April, continuing to hold her clipboard, tells her nephew she is "not that kind of doctor" and "what you need is a doctor for animals." The doctor-aunt could have at least taken the dog from Zeke's arms to ease his panic and see if there is something obvious she could do to help the dog. Instead, she walks out with Zeke still carrying the dog. (00:02:45)

Life in a Year (2020)

Stupidity: When Daryn and his friends Sammy and Kiran want to break into the back door to gain admittance to the rap concert, there just happens to be a crowbar on the ground about two feet from the door. (00:07:15)

Life in a Year (2020)

Continuity mistake: While Daryn is talking/rapping to Isabelle in the Creamery (ice cream shop), the distance his black earbuds dangle along the zipper in the front of his hoodie vary. At one point, only one earbud is visible. (00:15:00)

Life in a Year (2020)

Continuity mistake: Daryn starts running/jogging in summer foliage. Autumn foliage is shown in an aerial view, then it switches back to summer and Daryn is running on the street. When Daryn says "bye" to Ms. Murdoch, there is spring foliage behind him but summer foliage behind him when the camera shifts. It is one timed-running session and he is wearing the same clothes. (00:01:30 - 00:02:28)

The Ritual Killer (2023)

Continuity mistake: After Detective Boyd shoots the man in the head, the man is lying dead on the bed with his right arm alongside his body. When Boyd sits next to the man's head, the man has his right arm over his head in an inverted "V" shape. A little later, a rear view of Boyd shows the dead man's arm back to being alongside his body.

The Ritual Killer (2023)

Continuity mistake: At the bar, the amount of beer in Maria's "Corona Extra" bottle varies from at the neckline, to below, to above. After she takes a swig, it is still at the neckline; then it is about 1/2" above the neckline. (00:25:50 - 00:26:44)

Marlowe (2022)

Other mistake: The white horse looked very uncomfortable from what appeared to be an improperly placed bit (too far back and/or misaligned in its mouth). The handler should have noticed something was wrong and intervened. (00:20:30)

The Old Way (2023)

Continuity mistake: After Brooke saw the note that classes were cancelled, she turned around, and her back was at an angle to the school door. A front view of her showed her back parallel to the door. When Briggs was walking away, Brooke's body was at an angle to the door again (and not pivoted to face the direction Briggs was going). (00:10:27)

The Old Way (2023)

Continuity mistake: When Ruth was hanging clothes outside, the number and layout of the linens/shirts on the clothesline varied with the camera's angle. When she was talking to Briggs, her distance from the clothesline pole also varied with the camera's position (e.g., closer to the pole when the camera was facing Briggs). (00:06:58 - 00:08:45)

The Old Way (2023)

Continuity mistake: Ruth attached two clothespins on the linen to hang it on the clothesline. When the camera shifted to a front view, the first clothespin was barely (no longer protruding upward), and Ruth was attaching the second clothespin again. Also, the clothesline faded into the upper left side of the screen. (00:07:14)

The Old Way (2023)

Continuity mistake: The wad of money Briggs took from the man Jimmy's dad stole from was evenly folded in half, cupped in Briggs' palm, but at least one bill was protruding upward when he stood up. As Briggs was walking into the building, a rear view showed the money was no longer cupped in his palm but extended from both sides of his hand and was in disarray. (00:05:10)

Transfusion (2023)

Revealing mistake: Neither driver, Justine, nor passenger, Billy, were visible in the car when it got spun around by the Jeep. Even if both got bent over from the impact, the upper parts of their bodies should have been visible as they were both erect in their seats when the man opened the door to check on them. Also, the car doors were so smashed in that the man should not have been able to open the driver's door (at least not without some force or "Jaws of Life"). (00:19:25 - 00:19:57)

Transfusion (2023)

Deliberate mistake: Ryan was cooking venison (deer meat) in a pan over hot coals. He speared a piece with his knife and held it up for his young son, Billy, to take, which Billy did with his fingers. But did not get burned or show any signs that the meat was hot. Billy was even able to take a bite of the meat. The meat could not have cooled off that fast, even outdoors in jacket-wearing weather.

Fear (2023)

Factual error: The way Michael poured wine out of the newly opened bottle (standard 750 ml/25 oz?), the estimated amount he poured into six glasses plus drank some from the bottle, and the angles at which the six friends tilted their glasses for the toast, were not realistic. Also, the wine bottle appeared to have more than one-half (possibly two-thirds) of its contents left when Michael poured it into the fireplace. A newly opened bottle of wine would not be held at a downward angle to start pouring. (00:26:18 - 00:27:34)
