Other mistake: Every time you retrieve a part of Dracula, the message on screen misspells the word "Possess", giving you messages such as "you now prossess Dracula's rib."

Bird on a Wire (1990)
Continuity mistake: Look at the station of the teller in the Racine bank. In the closest angles the pen by the calculator is at a perpendicular angle and touches the machine, while in the wider angles it is a bigger distance. (00:50:35)

Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)
Revealing mistake: Fight in the toilet of the Paris nightclub: the presumed Lark rips out the sink's drain and begins assaulting Tom Cruise with it; Walker intervenes holding him, but the nimble Asian does a flip and brutally tosses him to the ground. As Henry Cavill is bent over before being snapped to the floor, on his back, you can definitely see a protective pad through the jacket. (00:31:52)
20th Sep 2019
Lucifer (2015)
Continuity mistake: During the scene in the school corridor with Lucifer sitting down and talking to Chloe's daughter, the same extras keep doing erratic back-and-forth for no reason (for instance the girl with a white jacket and pink shoulder bag) or just plain wrong (the kid with the horizontal striped maroon sweater who walks twice past Lucifer early in the convo). (00:24:50 - 00:25:50)

Arthur (2011)
Continuity mistake: Arthur is talking to the police, posing as Naomi's fiance: one of the cops asks, ridiculing her lie, "You had your first date at Grand Central Station?" Behind him, a white haired man in a black suit walks down the street carrying a brown suitcase. Next time the policemen are in frame, a different crowd is on the sidewalk, and only after another cut, and more of Arthur's blabbering, suitcase man reappears as if nothing happened. Even better, over half a minute passes and many totally different people...but right at the end of the scene as the policemen wave Arthur goodbye the same man, sans suitcase this time, is there again walking the same way as before. (00:19:45 - 00:20:30)

CHIPS (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Jon talks to his ex in the pool, she wringing her hair in a ponytail in front of her left shoulder, several times, but in the reverse shot it's like it never happens, the hair every time is still and not being pulled or raised. (00:35:00)

This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: Robert Redford's shirt is heavily bloodstained in the close-ups after he gets beaten up, but has just a couple little blood drips before and after, when Alva helps him get up. (01:09:25)
12th Sep 2019
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Continuity mistake: When the transvestite robs the puny bald street vendor of his coats and furs, absolutely nothing is left on the rack. But in the next shot the poor schmuck has at least a clothing hanger in front of him. (00:13:20)
18th Sep 2019
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Continuity mistake: Grewishka makes his grand entrance inside the bar: as a poor schmuck asks "What's happened to him?", a guy in the background is sitting, but in the shot immediately after, he's standing and only after a moment he slowly sits down. (01:01:30)
18th Sep 2019
Bird on a Wire (1990)
Continuity mistake: Marianne Graves gets out of the limo at the beginning of the movie; the smoke in the chimney goes from left to right between shots. (00:02:50)
20th Sep 2019
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Continuity mistake: Hugo is running away from Zapan; after the sequence of Alita's busted pipe we see him jump over a parapet onto a street underneath, rolling just past an incoming utility vehicle. In the overhead shot he lands right in front of a group of people including a rather conspicuous man with a pink shirt, but in the following shot almost everyone in the street is gone. (01:34:40)
20th Sep 2019
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Continuity mistake: At home with the widow, Reverend O'Malley is talking to her as she stands by the window. The lighting of the scene changes blatantly depending on the angle of the shot - just look at the shadow suddenly in the middle of the curtains in the closer view. (00:29:25)
19th Sep 2019
Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Continuity mistake: Iris splashes Coffin Ed with the glass as he speak into the phone receiver. She barely gets him and in the same shot as he turns towards the camera to grab her, his jacket and shirt have barely any wet spots. Throughout the scene the stains change in number and size for no reason (even assuming some might have dripped from the cheek to the jacket). (00:17:45 - 00:18:55)
30th Aug 2019
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Alita is playing the street version of motor ball she knocks over Tanji. In the next shot Tanji is following her in the pack as she scores, then the shot switches back to him on the ground.
20th Sep 2019
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Continuity mistake: Ido and his ex-wife are walking on a relatively narrow bridge with stalls on one side. When she says "clearly" to him admitting he did not destroy the body, a man with a backpack literally disappears between shots as he was walking past a woman in a white and blue shirt. (00:16:00)
18th Sep 2019
The African Queen (1951)
Revealing mistake: In the execution, the noose is so loose that Bogart's head virtually pops out of it, even as the sailors in charge of the execution have already begun pulling the rope. (01:42:35)
20th Sep 2019
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Continuity mistake: In the battle with Grewishka and the other two murderous cyborgs, Ido loses his scythe that falls down with the sharp edge pointed towards his right. When Nyssiana disrobes, though, the scythe is turned the other way incorrectly, with the pointy end on the opposite side and the burner on the right. (00:28:15 - 00:29:00)
20th Sep 2019
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Continuity mistake: After Alita slides away from the Centurion, dog in hand, she freezes in the pose at the side of the road. To her left, witnessing the scene there's a woman wearing sandals and some rasta patterned pants. She is standing by the corner of the sidewalk, but when we see her after a brief reaction shot on Hugo, she is standing super close, literally in Alita's shadow (they both shifted away from the corner, technically). (00:11:15)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Factual error: When Miss Charlesworth asks where everybody has gone and Letitia answers, you can get a good view of her desk, sporting above it amongst many photos also an illustration surely out of place in 1928: the "We can do it!" girl created by J. Howard Miller in 1942 and more or less apocryphally identified with Rosie the Riveter, a feminist icon that is quite specific to WW2. (00:22:10)
6th Sep 2019
Metro Manila (2013)
Continuity mistake: When Oscar is on the phone to learn about the location of the job interview in the warehouse district, the paper that was on top of the payphone jumps suddenly in the hand that holds the receiver to his ear, with the phone call already being over. (00:22:25)
