Continuity mistake: When Ron, the actor playing the "FBI Agent," is explaining what happened, watch his hands. They go from down to up between shots at one point.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Annie and Max are chatting at the bar, watch Annie's arms. (She is leaning against her hand.) In the shots facing her, her red sweater is sticking out of the sleeve of her jacket. In the shots facing away, her red sweater is NOT sticking out of the sleeve of her jacket.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Ryan shoves the table under the doorknob so Kevin and Michelle can't get out of the obvious, pay attention. In the wideshot, you can see that the table is a good 4-6" under the doorknob. Then it cuts to a closeup, and suddenly the table is only about 1" under the doorknob.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Annie and Max are talking about the first riddle and Annie is googling it on her phone, she goes from looking up at Max to looking down at her phone between cuts at one point.

Game Night (2018)

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When the actor playing the FBI agent is handing out the folders, and Max sarcastically asks if the FBI wants them to solve the kidnapping, watch Max. He goes from looking at the actor to looking down at the table between cuts.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: While Brooks is telling the embarrassing story about Max trying to give himself fellatio, he says the line "He couldn't unhook himself!" Instantly between cuts, his hand goes from up in the air to down by his waist.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Kevin and Michelle tease Ryan about "needing the validation of Instagram models, " watch closely. In between shots, Kevin and Michelle are instantly looking in different directions and doing different things. (Ex. Between shots, Kevin goes from facing Ryan to facing down, and Michelle goes from holding her own drink to pouring a different drink for Kevin).

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Ryan and his date sneak into Max and Annie's house, Ryan knocks over some plants, spilling dirt all over the counter in front of it. It briefly cuts to Max, and when it cuts back, Ryan has put the plants back upright but almost all the dirt has vanished from the counter. It's totally impossible for him to have cleaned up all the dirt in the mere second-or-two that passed between shots.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Max and Annie are talking about whether to invite Gary to game night, after Annie says that Gary has got worse after his divorce, Max turns and looks at her RIGHT before the shot ends. But in the very next shot, suddenly he is facing down and away from her.

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: When Gary points out that Max and Annie have three bags of Tostitos chips, watch the bag in Max's hands. Before Gary says his line, everything is pushed down relatively far, with only the very top few inches of the chips and some celery visible. After Gary's line, when it cuts back to Max and Annie about two seconds later, suddenly the chips and celery are all sticking much higher out of the bag.

Child's Play 2 (1990)

Continuity mistake: In the opening montage, when Chucky is rebuilt, they show his shoes being tied. About a minute later, when the CEO and his assistant enter the room, you can see one of the tech guys tying his shoes in the background... even though they were already tied.

Child's Play 2 (1990)

Continuity mistake: The first shot of the movie is an extreme closeup of Chucky's eye. Two shots later, you get a view of his whole face... and his eye is completely different. The color and design is slightly different, and the charred plastic around it doesn't match. The scene was shot with two different props (an oversized eye for the extreme closeup as confirmed in the commentary, then a regular sized doll-head for the next shot), and they didn't quite match.

Spawn (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator for the first time, there are some shots of him walking down the alley looking for Violator while holding his gun. In-between shots, Spawn goes from holding his gun with one hand, to both hands, back to one hand, etc. repeatedly.

Spawn (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator the first time, there's a moment where a homeless man finds Spawn's gun, and Spawn grabs it and spins around to point it at Violator... only to realise Violator has vanished. In the first shot of Spawn grabbing his gun, he's right next to the homeless man, and the homeless man begins to turn his head in Violator's direction. It then cuts to a wider shot, and suddenly Spawn is a bit further away from the homeless man and the man is no longer turning his head.

The Puppet Show - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Giles walks up to Buffy, Xander and Willow after The Body is found at the beginning of the episodes, watch the extras walking by in the background. They don't always match as the shot cuts back and forth between Giles and Buffy/Xander/Willow. Ex. When Buffy asks "Vampire?" nobody is walking behind her, but when it cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly two students are walking by from Buffy's direction that weren't there before. This sort of thing happens at least two or three times.

The Puppet Show - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: After the credits, when Buffy, Xander and Willow sit down to talk about what to do for the talent show, two people walk into the background behind Buffy and are standing there talking throughout the scene. At one point, it cuts to Xander for about one second when he says the line "Whatever happened to corporal punishment?", then cuts back to Buffy, and the two people behind her are suddenly gone. There's not enough time for them to have walked away between shots - they simply vanish.

The Puppet Show - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Snyder grabs Buffy after she breaks into the locker, when she turns around, he is holding her hand up by the wrist. The height he is holding her hand up changes a few times between shots. Sometimes it's up by her face, other times it's level with her neck, at one point it's down by her shoulder, etc. Obviously snippets of a few different takes were used, and he wasn't holding it up at exactly the same height each time.

Continuity mistake: After Joe shoots and kills Hale, it cuts to a wideshot of Duncan and Kell on a catwalk squaring up against each other. Duncan makes a very specific move, where he glides his sword from his right side to his left. The shot then cuts to a medium shot... and Duncan's sword is suddenly on his right side again, and he makes the exact same move a second time.
