Ray (2004)

Continuity mistake: When Ray's mother is about to put Ray on the bus to the St. Augustine blind school she hangs a sign on his chest with his name. As they discuss the need for an education the shots cut from behind Ray to in front of him to behind him. Look at his shirt on his back right shoulder. The collar is tucked under his suspender when viewed from behind the first time then is is not the next time they show him from behind. Ray did not move to make this happen, it just happened from one take to the next. (01:50:15)

Alien (1979)

Continuity mistake: When Ripley is in Mother, you can almost read the words on her face as if a small projector is beaming these words on her. The screen she is looking at has 4 lines of green text. The image on her face is 1 line of white text. (01:19:15)

Alien (1979)

Alien mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Near the start, when Dallas is at the entrance to Mother, one of the lights to his left, the fifth one down from the ceiling, is not lit. The next shot from inside Mother looking out shows that light is now lit. This exact same thing happens a second time when Ripley is entering mother later in the movie. These two scenes must have been shot at the same time. (00:08:20 - 01:18:35)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: That light totally had enough time to light between the frames, because it was hidden by the sliding door for a brief moment. Lights were lit one at the time, not all at once, so this one starts to shine just a little bit later than all the others, that's it.

I consider this a valid mistake and the correction is a stretch. The lights only took about 2 seconds to light up, but she's at the door for almost 3.5 seconds after they're on and the last light did nothing. Then in the half second it took the door to open, the last light is now on.

The Toy (1982)

Continuity mistake: When Jack Brown gets in the Wonder Wheel, he did not hook his feet into the foot straps, he only steps on the foot straps. When he is rolling in the Wonder Wheel his feet are supported by the Wonder Wheel as if strapped in properly. Since he was not strapped in his legs should have fallen down when he was upside down.

Friday Night Lights mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Miles cleans out his locker he stuffs his "dominator" white towel in the front of his pants. A few shots later after he says "play your ass off, win state, be perfect, all that sh*t" he turns around and faces the camera. The towel is no longer there. A few shots later when he is shown going to his car the towel is once again tucked in the front of his pants. (01:10:25)

Continuity mistake: When Beatrix and B.B. are in the bed together the pillow under Beatrix's head changes position between shots. First her head is in the middle of the flowers then the flowers are totally visible. This changes a few more times without Beatrix actually moving her head. (01:36:10)

Continuity mistake: After the big hit on the QB in the final drive, the ball is snapped and a receiver takes off. He takes two steps and is passing the 30 yard line marker. The offensive line is in the background. A spilt second later they show a wide angle shot and the offensive line is holding its ground at the 48 yard line. This wide receiver taking off and the remainder of the play must have been shot at different times. (01:40:05)

luchador

Continuity mistake: On Permian's last drive the announcer says they have 75 yards to go. The ball is spotted at the 27 yard line. This would only be 73 yards to go. Announcers are very meticulous about getting the correct numbers in sports in regard to distance, so it's not like they've just rounded it off. (01:38:50)

luchador

Continuity mistake: After Beatrix plucks out Elle's other eye, Elle begins to kick and flail in the bathroom. A shot of the toilet has magazines and bottles neatly on top of it. The next shot the bottles are tipped over and the magazines are on the toilet seat. Elle never got close enough to the toilet to knock these items over. A few shots later and the magazines that were on the toilet seat are no longer there. (01:19:55)
