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.

CHIPS (2017)
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)
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)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
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)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
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)

Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)

Lucifer (2015)
Lucifer, Stay. Good Devil. - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Immediately after the close-up on the poster of Demon Town with Penelope Decker, Lucifer holds the trophy. From behind it's evident that Chloe's healthy arm is down her side, but in the reverse shot she has her arms crossed. (00:17:30)

Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
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)

Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
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)

Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970)
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)
