KeyZOid

Other mistake: Dad has a long drive home, travelling through the mountains during a snowstorm. Dad pulls into the driveway and his truck is clean, with no splash marks. (01:12:05 - 01:14:35)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Mom uses a letter opener (or kitchen knife) on Justin's letter to Mrs. Claus. The envelope flap tears mid-way. Mom turns the envelope over and the flap has no tear. (01:13:25)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Justin walks home on snow-covered sidewalks, and snow embeds in his shoe treads. Justin walks in the front door, and his shoes are dry. (00:44:38)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: In the classroom, front views (rows 3-4) show thick, hardcover dictionaries on the students' desks. Rear views (rows 1-2) show much thinner books. Ms. Crumley tells the class to open workbooks to page 53, as if all the students have the same book. (00:43:00 - 00:43:35)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: The SUV hits a snow embankment. Immediately afterwards, there are no tyre tracks in the snow behind the SUV. (00:31:35)

KeyZOid

Trivia: The setting is a little different (9-year-old Izzy is left alone at school), but "Home Alone" fans should recognize some parallel scenes. For example, the parents say, "We did it again" (forget to pick up Izzy after school) and run frantically through the halls; severe winter weather interferes with reaching Izzy; Izzy raids the refrigerator and pigs out on junk food; Izzy considers riding a skateboard down the steps, etc. Of course, there are stupid thieves who break into the school.

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Barbi lifts the window pane, to about two-thirds of the way open. Barbi lifts the vertical blinds to get them out of her way, and the window is almost fully open. (00:30:35)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Sparse snowflakes fall in wide shots, but there is heavier snowfall in close-ups of Barbi. (00:29:30 - 00:30:15)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The clocks are not coordinated, affecting the time frame. Josh and Jen are decorating the Christmas tree at 8:08 PM. Josh goes to his room, "past his bedtime." Josh writes his list for Santa. At 7:15, Josh hears a car drive up, so he looks out the window. Dad meets mom in the driveway and says, "It's almost midnight." (00:05:29 - 00:07:58)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: David carries a full glass of beer into the living room. Before he sits (or drinks any beer), the glass is about two-thirds full. David places his glass on the coffee table, and it is full of beer again. (00:02:17)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Grandpa pulls his white Jeep into the driveway. The Jeep's rear bumper is almost aligned with the outer edge of the sidewalk. The front bumper is close to the rear bumper of the red truck. Grandpa exits his Jeep and walks towards the house. In the aerial view, his Jeep's rear bumper is past the sidewalk and there is more space between the Jeep and red truck. (00:01:37)

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: The stairs are a prop. About a dozen steep steps - just to the landing - are almost as high as the front door. (00:55:48)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Food products used for a snowman's eyes, nose, and mouth (olives, cucumber, and ketchup, respectively) do not stay intact or unchanged over a 1-2 day period, if at all. [The idea is too absurd to categorize as a "deliberate mistake."] (00:48:33 - 00:57:00)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: A goat moves [off-screen] to different sides of a rock, but the rock cannot change shape and color in alternating shots (from greyish, square pyramid-like to brownish, cuboid-like shape). (00:14:15)

Jurassic Island (2022)

Continuity mistake: Ava sees the stack of mail on the table. She sweeps her hand (fingertips and envelopes are off-screen), as she slides the top envelope closer. Ava picks up the top envelope, as if her hand sweep does not move any of the envelopes (and serves no purpose). (00:05:48)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: In the front view of the men on the beach, the man in the dark T-shirt is to the left of the screen (or to the right of the man in the white shirt). The first rear and second front views are consistent. The second rear view shows the men in opposite positions. When the man in white has his arm over the other man's shoulder (front view), the man in black is again to the left of the screen (or to the right of the other man). (00:04:05)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Two men are on the beach and a helicopter approaches. The man in the dark T-shirt does not hold anything but waves his right hand/arm. In the rear view, the man suddenly waves a flare. The vivid red smoke rises upwards, at least 8 feet. In the front view, the man waves his right hand, but there is no visible red smoke. The flare and long stream of red smoke reappear. (00:04:08)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The man trips, and the three coconuts he is holding land in front of him, inches from his fingers. He crawls a short distance. Only one coconut is visible, and it is to his left. The dinosaur drags the man away. The coconuts are in different places, even though the dinosaur's attack does not scatter them. (00:02:25)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The man picks up his duffel bag and swings it over his shoulder, but does not use its strap. He runs through the woods, and the strap is over his shoulder. Just before he runs onto the beach, he swings his bag over his shoulder, as if he does not use the shoulder strap in the woods. (00:01:40)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The gingerbread man cookie falls into the coffee cup, and the top is barely below the rim. Looking into the cup, the top of the cookie is much further down but does not fall this fast. The coffee cup is about half-full. Jackson takes a drink. The cookie does not interfere with the flow of the coffee into Jackson's mouth. When Jackson lowers the cup from his mouth, there is no visible cookie. (00:08:20)
