The One With Rachel's Inadvertent Kiss - S5-E17
Continuity mistake: Joey is watching Ross from Monica's window and goes searching for the hot girl. The exterior shot crossing the street between buildings is inconsistent with the interior shots, which show them looking at each other across an alley with no visible fire escapes. The exterior shot crosses a street to a building with street-facing fire escapes on every apartment.

The One With The Lottery - S9-E18

20th Feb 2013
The One With The Dirty Girl - S4-E6
Continuity mistake: Rachel is working on the crossword puzzle and her legs are crossed (first left over right) and they switch back and forth between shots (about four times) without any time to do so.
27th Dec 2012
Continuity mistake: Arthur runs after Steve with the Santa game piece and bursts through the swinging doors which close behind him. Yet, the doors are open again when they are talking and Steve tells him to shut the doors.
10th Dec 2012
The One Where Underdog Gets Away - S1-E9
Continuity mistake: When the six are looking out the window at Ugly Naked Guy cooking his turkey, they are looking straight across the alley into his window. In "TOW The Giant Poking Device", Ugly Naked Guy's apartment is several floors below theirs in the adjoining building.
24th Aug 2012
Continuity mistake: Larry pulls the "do not remove" tag from the bell and we see the bell fall away and slide down the roof about six feet, but when the camera angles changes, the bell is again falling through that same space.
4th Apr 2012
Continuity mistake: Tom is cleaning the convenience store, presumably after a fatal robbery and a woman is weeping in the back room. The door is ajar about 1-2 feet when Tom first sees her; when we see him next to the door to close it to shield her from his work, the door is more than halfway open.
21st Mar 2012
Continuity mistake: When Alan is taunting Michael about selling door knobs and Michael's back is against the door frame to the dining room, the dining room is dark; both chandeliers are off. All four characters are in the living room but as Michael responds to Alan's taunts, the lights are on, even though no one entered that room and Michael's hands were in his pockets during the exchange.
1st Jul 2011
Continuity mistake: When Holly and McMissle are convincing Mater to complete the mission, his door panels change between the shots facing the two and then facing Mater.
5th Apr 2011
Continuity mistake: The guards take John to see the Fred Astaire movie and John sits well to the right of centre in the theatre. We see John mesmerized by the movie, Paul sitting a row behind in the centre of the seat theatre and the light from the projector spreads wide directly behind and over top of Paul's head. Yet, when we see John again a moment later, when he's says "They's just like angels", the projector light is directly behind John, deliberately giving the illusion of a halo. This would not occur as shown unless John had moved over to the centre of the theatre.
19th Dec 2010
Continuity mistake: During the first breakfast scene, Ralphie's bacon is on his left on the plate, he takes one bite of it and now the camera angle changes to show the bacon on his right and a large empty space on the left, where the bacon was moments before.
28th Oct 2010
Continuity mistake: After Hiccup cuts the ropes that bind Toothless and the dragon flies away, Hiccup gets to his feet in front of the boulder, but the ropes are gone. However, when Hiccup returns the next day, he finds the ropes very close to the boulder, where they should've been all along. (00:14:45)
2nd Sep 2010
Continuity mistake: During the meeting among Sisters Aloysious and James and Father Flynn in the principal's office, Sister James has turned in her chair to face the other two standing at the door and says she smelled alcohol on Donald Miller's breath. Her hands at this point are gripping the back of the chair. The camera angle changes to behind the desk, showing Sister James still turned toward the door in her chair after speaking this line, but her hands are resting on her leg.
30th Aug 2010
Continuity mistake: When Jake's avatar is running through the garden as he first enjoys having working legs again, he skids to a stop on the loose topsoil in the aisle of the garden. The next shot that shows him wriggling his toes in the soil reveals a pristine path of soil and no evidence of the disturbance his skidding to a stop caused.
12th Aug 2010
Continuity mistake: Terry and Allen meet with the SEC honcho and the pen (in the right side of the set on the desk) goes from on the desk to in the holder without anyone touching it.
12th Aug 2010
Continuity mistake: Early in the film while Terry and Allen are bickering about doing paperwork, Terry's computer Solitaire game varies significantly as the camera moves back and forth between then. (First, there's only one line of cards, then there are three, then one, then four.) Terry is not interacting with the computer in any way during this scene.
12th Aug 2010
Continuity mistake: When Terry and Allen are driving on the bridge from New York to New Jersey, they are shown in an aerial shot as traveling in the right hand lane, (the one closest to the railing), yet when we see them inside the car, the background shows cars passing them on the right.
12th Jul 2010
Continuity mistake: In the final scene, after George falls to the floor with a heart attack, the alarm clock is knocked onto the floor but the position changes from near his elbow (in the overhead shots) to closer to his hand (in the floor-level shots).
2nd Jul 2010
Continuity mistake: When Kaffee drives up to the newsstand at night and buys his magazine and chats with the news vendor, his tie knot is undone down to the second button on his shirt. When he returns to his car and is startled by Markinson in the back seat, his tie is undone only a bit past the first button, much higher than the previous shot. This is largely due, Director Rob Reiner explains, to the fact that part of the scene was shot in D.C. and part of the scene was shot in L.A.
