Falling Inn Love (2019)
Continuity mistake: Gabriela's luggage crashes down the slope into the vehicle of the beefy co-protagonist. During the scene, the bra on the pickup's hood is positioned in an obvious different way (also coming lower onto the fender's arc) between shots. (00:13:00)

Fist Fight (2017)
Continuity mistake: As students are watching porn, Strickland struts his way down the school corridor through jumpcuts. Some extras in the background have poses radically different nobody could switch to without reason, like this blonde guy who is turned the other way and that suddenly is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed while Strickland has barely walked one step. (00:01:35)

After Life (2019)
Episode #1.1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: As Ricky Gervais walks by the school where his nephew is, a "chubby little ginger" shouts "pedo" at him. He stops and holds one of the bars of the railing, third from the pillar.

28th Aug 2019
CHIPS (2017)
Continuity mistake: As Jon punches Ponch, he does not mess up his headset and glasses much, if at all. But the following closeup of Michael Peña has him all discombobulated, with crooked glasses and the mic up his nose for added comedy value. (00:43:35)

The Purple Taxi (1977)
Continuity mistake: Philippe Noiret is sitting in his chair, drily commenting on the display previously offered by Charlotte Rampling when she was bare-breasted.

Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
Continuity mistake: When the police catches the pickpocketer at the beginning, they literally lift him off the ground. There is a close-up shot in between, and the lack of continuity is apparent in the hand position of the man. Not just that: vehicles obviously disappear and appear in every cut.
5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
