Bedazzled (1967)

Other mistake: After Stanley becomes the nun he demands one more wish, but George informs him that the ice lolly he got as a trial wish counted - which had cost him sixpence, and which George then pays him back. However, on the Post Office Tower, after Stanley saying he'd like to see what Margaret is doing, George lends him a telescope (also costing Stanley sixpence) which is then forgotten about when George reminds Stanley about the ice lolly. (01:30:00)

Colette (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Willy is in bed looking at photos with the camera behind his ear, his cup of coffee is directly in front of his hands. A moment later when the camera shifts to in front of him, his coffee is way off to his side, nowhere near his line of sight. (01:00:12)

The Selfish Giant (2013)

Continuity mistake: When Swifty is calming the horse, and the scrap dealer exclaims, "He's fast!", Swifty has his face pressed against the horse's nose; in the cut to the long shot, Swifty is suddenly facing the horse, looking up at it. (00:25:00)

Stir Crazy (1980)

Plot hole: The six-year-old girl (who actually looks a few years older) apparently had seen and remembered a tattoo on the robber's hand well enough to be able to relate the details of it to Meredith, who is then able to visually identify the tattoo on the robber's hand in a strip joint. Not really credible - especially as the woodpecker costumes covered up pretty well the entire body! (Also, the robbers were constantly moving, making visual inspection even more difficult).

Stir Crazy (1980)

Continuity mistake: The first time Skip meets Meredith, and Meredith announces her intention to get a job at the strip club, this part has obviously been added later as an explanatory afterthought and is not well integrated: the lighting, audio and Williams' demeanour do not match the rest of the scene.

Stir Crazy (1980)

Other mistake: When Skip emerges from the box where he has been locked up for five days, he has no more than about one day's stubble on his unshaven face.
