CHIPS (2017)

Continuity mistake: Jon fell over on the rainy day and he can't get up. When he blindly goes for his phone, clothes he had on the bedstand (and that he could have put on) disappear between shots, and when he knocks the magazine off the bedstand and the pillow underneath, there is no trace of the tube that is instead perched on it later in the scene. (00:46:10)

CHIPS (2017)

CHIPS mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Jon is scarfing down a burger at the Tommy's kiosk while Ponch is jerking off in the bathroom. He gets a mess of mustard all over the shirt, down to the belt, and to the pants. The pants stain vanishes right away for the remainder of the scene (but shows up later in another scene). (00:35:40)

CHIPS (2017)

CHIPS mistake picture

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)

CHIPS (2017)

Continuity mistake: When the corrupt cops are checking out of the (cheesily photoshopped, but I assume it's intentional for comedy) pics of Poncharello in Redding, Kurtz says "It's the only way he's ever going to get clean", talking about his heroin-addicted son. The sentence is a bad, jumpy edit, he's leaning against the chair with his hand in a very sudden way. (00:34:10)

Murder in Montparnasse - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When the mechanic puts his cheap cigar on the ashtray, it's an enormous, almost whole cigar in the close-up, leaning on top of the matchbox. When it is shown again a few seconds later, it's reduced to just a butt, lying at distance from the box. (00:25:00)

Murder in Montparnasse - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: As Jack and Hugh are questioning the bookie in the bar, Jack mentions he could be charged with murder. The guy, startled, asks "Murder? What?" across 2 shots. In the first, his left hand is under the table, in the second he is holding his hands together as he smokes. (00:09:45)

King Memses' Curse - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher gets face to face with Foyle for the first time, her arm goes from straight to slightly bent at the first cut after his mocking applause; in the reverse shot the arm is still straight and only then begins to curve. (00:39:30)

Continuity mistake: Johnny's widow is back from her little scouting, and is telling the Reverend about the cotton bale in Harlem. During the scene there's an obvious shadow cast by her head over her right shoulder that disappears in the reverse shots. (00:37:55)

The Boy Next Door (2015)

Continuity mistake: As Kevin tells his dad during dinner that he dropped out from computer engineering class and is taking up boxing, John Corbett is listening with his hands on his chest, but the fingers are positioned differently between shots. (00:36:15)

Lucifer (2015)

Continuity mistake: Iris enters the house of the widow with no problem, just turning the knob, and just lets the door close behind her - yet when O'Malley has to escape, people outside the door are frantically trying to open the door to no avail.

Child's Play (2019)

Child's Play mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Andy returns home a little early and opens the door finding mom doing tonsil hockey with a dude named Shane. The multicolored wrapping in her hand switches instantly from right to left hand as she realises her kid is there. (00:09:20)

The Dream - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Poirot gives his enigmatic host a letter; he looks at it and puts it down on the desk. The letter is at an angle, but in the following reverse shot, the letter arranges itself neatly aligned with the registry underneath. (00:15:40)

Blood and Circuses - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Jack and Hugh are checking out of the serial numbers of the banknotes. It's quite obvious during the sequence that Hugh has a couple of wads in his hands, then he is hands free, and then is holding the same wads as before. (00:39:30)

Continuity mistake: The junkman played by Redd Foxx closes the door in front of the white guy, who gets in front of the broken window and shouts at him. His hand in the faraway view is on the sill, and in the tighter angle is at the side. (00:45:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At O'Malley's release, he is approached by a man wearing a red fez. The people in the background change position at the close-up (the guy in orange turtleneck gets much closer to the one in a blue suit, for instance). (01:09:55)

Sammo

Blood and Circuses - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: In the faraway shot, the snake is wrapped around the neck of the dead body full circle, while in the close-ups that follow and precede, the snake is draped across its neck and creeps up the right side of the deceased. (00:01:20)

Late Night (2019)

Continuity mistake: Molly says that the show has room for a bit of improvement. The monologue writer drops a pen on the notebook. Brief cut to Molly and when he says "whatever" her the pen is in a completely different spot. (00:19:25)
