Revealing mistake: After Poe's X-Wing is destroyed, when BB-8 leaves the village and rolls off note all the distinctive hills and sand dunes in front of BB-8. Later, when Rey hears BB-8 with Teedo and she rushes off note the sand dunes in front of her, but after she rescues BB-8 and walks in the opposite direction those same sand dunes are now in front of them, which were also the same sand dunes in front of BB-8 when he left the village the night before.

Utopia (1) - S3-E11
Corrected entry: When Jack fires his gun in the air to frighten the Futurekind, his arm is straight, raised above him. The camera cuts away, and then cuts back to a shot with Jack in it, where his arm is now suddenly bent. (00:09:50)
Correction: There's a shot facing the Futurekind mob inserted between the two shots with Jack, and in that moment Jack has ample time to merely lower his arm. No problem with continuity.

Corrected entry: In the last song/scene, as the leads take their places on the top rocks, Chad takes his place in the bottom left corner, and the mike stand wobbles. He stops the pole, but the mic falls off. In the next shot, everything is fine. (01:39:40)
Correction: This does not occur in consecutive shots. In the first shot the microphone falls from its stand, and we see Chad looking down toward the fallen mic just as he goes offscreen while the camera is panning from left to right. The second shot is a closeup of Taylor dancing, and it's not until the third shot we see the mic back on its stand. There was ample time for Chad to simply pick up the mic and place it back on the stand's clip, while he was offscreen.

Corrected entry: In the French custom post, when The Jackal opens his suitcase for searching it has one strap. It has two straps when he closes it.
Correction: The Jackal has two suitcases, one with two buckle straps and another with only one buckle strap. When the French customs officer starts searching through the first suitcase with one strap he finds the Old Spice bottles, then it cuts to the next shot as he's finished with the Jackal's luggage, and closes the second suitcase with two straps. It is completely unnecessary to see it onscreen as the officer searches through two filled suitcases.

Corrected entry: At the end of the movie Henry sees his father coming towards him with the Dutchman visible behind him. Its sails are completely down. The scene changes to Henry walking towards his father and then back to his father walking towards him. The Dutchman's sails are now secured up.
Correction: The first time Henry looks into his spyglass and spots the Dutchman we see many members of the Dutchman's crew aloft in the rigging lining the yards and furling its sails, and the second time Henry looks into the spyglass those sails are still being furled by the crew just as Will appears. Then five shots later, when Will joins Henry at the top of the hill we see the partially furled sails. No problem with continuity.

Dear Sigmund - S5-E7
Corrected entry: After being loaded with wounded, an ambulance accelerates, turns left and moves out of sight. Immediately after there is the sound of a crash, and the ambulance is lying on its left side. Radar states that it turned too fast and rolled over...but in that case, it would be on its right side.
Correction: The ambulance driver was quickly heading for the next left turn on the road out of camp, but instead wound up driving into the sloped rocky ditch on his left, hence the vehicle rolled onto its left side. Nothing wrong with its depiction.

Dear Sigmund - S5-E7
Corrected entry: In this episode, Sidney Freedman writes a letter to Sigmund Freud, detailing his experiences at the 4077. Freud died September 23, 1939. M*A*S*H is set during the Korean War, June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953.
Correction: Yes, Sidney's addressing Sigmund Freud in his "letter" but it's not an actual letter he's writing, it's Sidney's therapeutic way of expressing and venting his own private thoughts and feelings regarding coping mechanisms to the founder of psychoanalysis, whom he greatly respected. Sidney knows that Sigmund Freud has been dead for over a decade, and BJ even commented to Sidney that writing a letter to Sigmund Freud is a little crazy, but Sidney's reply says it all, "who better than he would understand."

Corrected entry: When Barney first falls down with the convict, you see his ticket book fly out of his hand and over the car. The next scene also shows he has nothing in his left hand. The final struggle scene shows the ticket book back in his left hand.
Correction: During this scene, in the first shot just as Barney falls to the ground his ticket book flies out of his hand toward the roof of the car offscreen. In the next shot we see Barney on the ground, and his ticket book is lying open on the ground behind him, near the back of the car. We can presume that in the moment the ticket book was offscreen it hit the car's surface and landed on the ground, which does not grate with continuity between the first two shots. Then it cuts to the State Police car pulling up in the third shot, and in the fourth shot we see Barney picking up the ticket book from the ground, while he's lying on the convict. This sequence of four shots does not pose a continuity problem.

Continuity mistake: When Oddjob drives away from the golf course, Goldfinger is not in the back of the car for some reason, even though they show him in the car earlier. (00:32:00)
Suggested correction: Goldfinger is still in the car - he has sat back in his seat and the camera angle makes it look like he's vanished. The picture shown shows Goldfinger leaning forward to talk to Bond, then he sits back when the conversation finishes.
In this instance it does not have to do with camera angle. When Goldfinger gets in the car and the door is left open, we can see the seat's upright back portion where he is sitting in relation to the rear side windows, and there is not much space between them. Goldfinger is a rather rotund fellow, so even when he leans back in the seat we should still be able see him when looking through the right side of that double window, due to his stoutness. In a medium shot Goldfinger says goodbye to Bond, then it cuts to semi-closeups of Bond and Oddjob, so when we're back to another medium shot of the car, the actor was simply not in the car during the filming of these specific takes, for this medium shot. Note, after Oddjob crushes the golfball, in the next medium shot as the car begins to drive away, all the people who had been standing on the fairway in the background in previous shots have vanished (no time for them to have walked away).

Corrected entry: When Col. Potter is talking to Father Mulcahy about his son-in-law's rendezvous, Father Mulcahy says he has seen the 6th commandment take a beating, but "Thou shalt not commit adultery" is actually the 7th commandment.
Correction: Yes, according to Protestants (and others) it's the 7th commandment which states not to commit adultery, however, according to the Roman Catholic Church (and Lutheranism) it is indeed the 6th commandment just as Father Mulcahy asserts, and since Father Mulcahy is a devout Catholic military chaplain, his statement, "I've seen the 6th commandment take quite a beating," holds perfectly true for his character.
4th Oct 2003
Corrected entry: An alien transforms into Russell Johnson with clothes on. Yet at various times through the movie, the aliens have to go to their victims home to get their clothes. I guess a naked Russell Johnson (the professor on Gilligan's Island) would have been too much for 1953 audiences. (The aliens in this movie were highly neurotic about their looks.)
Correction: Amusing entry but it's incorrect. The telephone linemen, Frank and George, are both wearing work coveralls over their regular clothes while working. When John climbs off the truck's ladder we see George remove his coveralls and then get into the truck carrying it. Later, the aliens we see in the guise of Frank and George are both wearing the work coveralls, while the real Frank and George are still wearing their regular clothes, which they had on under their coveralls.
19th Feb 2018
Corrected entry: When Debra is excitedly reading the heading of Ray's first column, she mistakenly says "by Robert Barone" instead of "by Ray Barone."
Correction: Debra doesn't say "Robert", she says, "More than a Game, by Raymond Barone."

The One After the Superbowl, part 2 - S2-E13
Corrected entry: When Chandler is walking with the door you can see he is not wearing panties but boxers. (00:19:20)
Correction: When Ross and Joey are standing in the bathroom stalls looking into Chandler's stall, since Joey is going commando Chandler offers Ross $50 for his underpants just as the shocked man walks in on them. Even though Ross initially said no to giving Chandler his underpants, we do not hear Ross decline this very generous offer. So in the next shot it's been a little while, and not only do we see that shocked man already seated continuing his meal, we can safely presume the striped boxers that Chandler's wearing actually belong to Ross, who made an easy $50 to help Chandler out.
16th Feb 2017
Corrected entry: When Buzz gets thrown at the window during playtime at Sunnyside, if you look real closely you can see Andy's name is missing from his foot. It returns when the gang wakes up at night. (00:33:00)
Correction: When Buzz is tossed and lands on the blue bookcase, in his closeups his right foot is slanted in such a way that "Andy" can't be seen too clearly, however we can see that there is indeed writing on the bottom of his right foot, where "Andy" should be.

Disappearing Samantha - S2-E27
Corrected entry: Lecturer Osgood Writemeyer (later Dr. Bombay played by Bernard Fox) takes a drink from Samantha while Endora is walking around couch to give drink to Osgood. Osgood takes the drink from Samantha but says "Thank you Endora" instead.
Correction: The person you hear saying, "Oh, thank you, Endora," is Larry Tate, who just picked up a Bloody Mary from Endora's tray of drinks.
27th Apr 2010
Corrected entry: When Bart first writes 'Treasure Island' on the board he has written it on two lines, the 'Treasure' is above the 'Island'. But after a couple of shots we see the blackboard again and the two words are next to each other.
Correction: The word "Treasure" is written above "Island" in all shots of the blackboard.
27th Aug 2001
Corrected entry: A live bull is lowered in a sling to feed the raptors in the pen, but when the shredded sling is brought back up, there's no blood on it. How could they have shredded the sling without drawing blood on the bull? (00:32:40)
Correction: The sling is solid light blue with yellow stripes when it's lowered, and when it's raised the shredded blue material is quite stained, though it may not be gorily dripping in bright red blood, there are indeed dark stains (red stains on blue material change color) all over what's left of the blue material.
29th May 2007
Corrected entry: At 1:24:48 (the BMW's chasing the van), the lead BMW has a California front license plate (white with red script) but in the rear shots taken from behind the Beemers, the BMW's all have white and blue New York rear plates. Also the front plate is gone after the initial shot. (01:24:45)
Correction: The black car you're referring to with the "California front license plate" is not actually one of the three BMWs chasing the minivan, it does not have the distinctive stripe on its hood which all three BMWs have, and we can also see the car's Chevrolet logo over its license plate.
5th Nov 2005
Corrected entry: At the beginning, when the men are searching for E.T., the keys on the "Key Man" keep changing sides between shots.
Correction: During the opening scene, while the men are searching for ET, the keys are hanging from the left side of his pants in every shot we see them.
27th Aug 2001
Corrected entry: When Elliott is sitting in the garden waiting for ages for E.T. to come out of the shed, the position of the moon in the night sky doesn't move during that time.
Correction: The night that Elliott's on the chaise lounge waiting in the backyard with the flashlight, in the 1982 version we only see the crescent moon in just one wideshot, so it cannot be said "the position of the moon...doesn't move during that time" since there's nothing to compare it to, and in the 2002 version the moon has actually been edited out completely in that shot.
Suggested correction: BB-8 is heading towards a background at night, the other instances are all near where BB-8 is since they are all focused around him. Rey finds BB-8, only possible if she is near the same background. BB-8 was going towards that background so can only be closer to it than before. Same goes for Finn as they crashed near where BB-8 was, since they were looking for him. They are not the exact same locations but a couple of miles apart, which produces the same background.

When Rey rushes toward Teedo and then when she walks away in the *opposite* direction with BB-8 the very same sand dunes are still in front of her and BB-8. Those sand dunes are also the exact same sand dunes right in front of BB-8 when he left the village. The correction states "They are not the exact same locations but a couple of miles apart," but they are in fact the exact same sand dunes and hills, certainly not miles apart, and I do not mean the general horizon "which produces the same background" (screenshots available now). The filming of these scenes was done at the same location.
