Continuity mistake: When Nanny McPhee tells Cedric, "Lesson three, to get dressed when they're told is complete," he picks up a pen and fiddles with it. In the next close-up, Cedric's hands are clasped together, and a moment later he picks up the pen and fiddles with it. (00:53:40)

Meet the Fockers (2004)
Visible crew/equipment: After Jack says, "Only the captain gets to make announcements, Greg," in the next shot of Greg the boom mic and pole are nicely visible over Jack's reflection in the window, to Greg's right. There are two other shots of Greg at this angle - one previous and one following, but unfortunately the equipment is not seen. (00:13:25)

Lost (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Jack drops to his knees, after removing the undershirt, one white shirt lies stretched out horizontally on the ground directly in front of him, with both knees centered in front of it; the other shirt is off to his right (viewer's left), with the undershirt he drops. Three shots later, still on his knees, all three shirts lie rumpled to his right; eleven shots later, the single white shirt once again lies horizontally directly in front of him, in the very same position as the earlier shot.

Lost (2004)
Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer go underwater to retrieve the case, in a close-up it is easy to see that the male corpse is barefoot. But in a following close-up, when Sawyer swims up with the Halliburton case - just as the words "Production Designer Carlos Barbosa" appear onscreen - in this specific shot the man is actually wearing a black shoe on his left foot. (00:06:15)

Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: During the fondue dinner, not only do the positions of the fondue skewers change in consecutive shots throughout the meal, in some consecutive shots there are three skewers, then four, then three and so on, resting in the fondue pot, depending on camera angle - not due to people touching them. (00:38:25)

Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: At the fondue dinner, when Roz says, "Of course not, that's Greg's foreskin," in this shot Dina holds down the album page with her left hand, as she holds the skin over the album. In the next shot facing Jack, Dina drops it and it falls beyond the open page, yet, in the next close-up the piece falls directly on the open page with the photo. (00:46:15)
23rd May 2006
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: After Jinxy flushes Moses, in some shots the toilet seat is up beside the lid, but in the rest of the consecutive shots the seat is down. (00:36:50)
23rd May 2006
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Greg does damage control in Roz's office by hiding things, the height of the table is about Greg's waist level - also note the wood paneling trim. In the previous shot, as Greg surveys the room, the table is a foot lower, which is also seen in other shots including when Greg enters the room, after the football game, to check on Jack and the table height is level with Greg's thighs. The entire table was deliberately raised in the close-up. (00:27:00)

Meet the Fockers (2004)

17th May 2006
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: Whilst speaking to Pam at their apt, Greg lifts the luggage off the counter. In the first shot, the front zippered pocket faces him, but in the next shot it faces the opposite way - away from him. (00:03:20)
17th May 2006
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: At his apartment, when Greg walks over to the laptop things on the desk change position, such as the bowl, which goes from being two feet to the right of the laptop, to directly behind it in the close-up, then back again. (00:02:30)
17th May 2006
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Greg places the luggage on counter in his apt to measure it, the front pocket double zippers are closed at the bottom of the left side. When Pam comes home and he describes the birth, both zippers are at the top center of the pocket. (00:02:20)
17th May 2006
Meet the Fockers (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Pam and Greg step into the motor coach nothing is on the counter between the sink and stove. However, in the shot facing Dina there are groceries right beside the sink, at the edge of the counter, including a box of Orville Redenbocker's microwave popcorn. (00:12:20)

Elizabethtown (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Claire and Drew talk on the phone while she is in the tub, as she says, "I'll get there (Hawaii) and sleep," there are bubbles on her and all around. In her next close-up as she says, "I'll let you go," all the bubbles differ. However, after Drew asks, "When will you be back?" as she gushes in this shot, all the bubbles are identical to the first shot. (00:53:50)
30th Apr 2006
Elizabethtown (2005)
Visible crew/equipment: When Drew finally arrives in Elizabethtown he sees townspeople waving and a sign in the window mourning his dad. As he drives past the glass storefronts, on his left the reflection of his moving car is seen with equipment mounted on the hood and back bumper. (00:25:55)
