Red Dawn (2012)

Continuity mistake: As the policeman, Tom Eckert, is on the megaphone and telling his boys that he loves them and to do what he would do, "to stop this piece of shit," when the camera is at his back, you can see the left shoulder area of the shirt pull in, like he is raising his left arm to point at Captain Cho. When we immediately switch views to the front, we see Tom starting to raise his arm to point, but he had already started the motion (as evidence from the shirt) in the previous shot.

Piranha 3D (2010)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, when the sheriff falls into the pond reaching for the boat, she comes out dragging the body but is not wet at all. I guess being in "Back to the Future Part 2" helped her get the self-drying clothes.

Bull Durham (1988)

Continuity mistake: When Nuke is having his dream of playing naked, the first baseman, Jose, is wearing a batting glove on his left hand. He throws left-handed, and he wouldn't be wearing a batting glove on his left hand. Also later in the movie when they are having the conversation about Jimmy/Millie's wedding on the mound, Jose shows up, and his batting glove is now on his right hand, as it should be.

Continuity mistake: After Snake has entered the sports arena, you see a guy playing a basketball game. When it gets closer, you see him moving to the right and take a shot with eight seconds left and with six points. Then, when you get a close-up of the guy again, he is going to the left and the crowd starts counting at ten. He still has only six points. With the rules outlined at the beginning, this would not have been possible. (00:55:30)

Then, in the next shot of him after running and tripping, the wound is back on his right side. It is obvious the shot was reversed.
