Continuity mistake: Dewey removes a VHS from the VCR. The VHS has a black spine. A minute later they begin getting jiggy with it and in the shot from the front of the desk (the rear view of Mrs. Cox, if you prefer) you can see on the VCR a white label on the spine. (01:17:10)

Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: Once Gale tells Dewey "I feel bad, Dewey. I feel really bad!" and it cuts back to the previous camera angle, the sunlight behind her (where Joel's taxi is and then was) changes abruptly. (01:14:25)

Murder in Three Acts (1986)
Continuity mistake: To reach Poirot, Hastings walks through the Acapulco airport with two ladies (one with a white jacket, light blue skirt, updo, carries a large brown suitcase, and another one with short hair, glasses, white trousers) that are both in front of him AND behind him, depending on the camera angle. (00:01:30)

Dead Man's Folly (1986)
Continuity mistake: Poirot met Ariadne Oliver who invites him to the "murder hunt." Poirot and Hastings then get on a boat to head there. As they sit on the boat, there are a few extras, led by an easily identifiable lady in a yellow sweater, that move up the stairs of the pier and reach the top. The boat slowly takes off, and about 10 seconds later we see the pier again, with again those same people from before just reaching the top of the stairs. (00:02:25)

The ABC Murders (2018)
Episode #1.3 - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Poirot is talking to the owner of Twinkle Toes and confirms that indeed the victim was strangled with his merchandise. The man listens with his fingertips adjoined and pointed towards Poirot, but when it cuts to his response ("Poor kid") his left hand is partially in frame and in a different position altogether.

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns (2014)
Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: 14-years old Kindaichi comes up with the solution of the case but gets interrupted as he is about to utter his catchphrase. In the scene, the bookmark is in the top half of the book next to him, the bottom half when we see his mother scolding him. (00:12:00)

Evil Spirit of the Diving Pool - S1-E18

3rd Mar 2022
Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Randy is jumpscared by the guy playing football (something the killer couldn't predict), in the aerial shot the football dude is standing on the crossroad that is fully in the shade instead of partially in the sun like before the cut. The two girls Randy harassed are also gone from their spot, which means in 5 seconds they packed their books and stuff they had laid out in front of them. (01:03:30)
3rd Mar 2022
Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: When the cameraman says he's "one verb away from vacating these premises", there's a blonde with a green backpack walking left to right in the background. The same blonde appears two shots later behind Randy, who is further to the left than Joel. (01:01:45)

Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: During the Top Gun scene, Derek steps on the table where Portia De Rossi and the other sorority elites are having lunch. You see her fetch from the table the Pepsi can, but then she holds it at a different height at the cut. (00:48:15)
3rd Mar 2022
Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Sidney answers the phone at the sorority, look at her sheer top under the jacket; reaches almost the neck (you can backtrack the moment when it rose from its optimal fit; she put the jacket in the same take and that ended up pulling the underneath garment a bit). At the next cut, the top rests lower as it should. (00:39:20)
3rd Mar 2022
Scream 2 (1997)
Continuity mistake: On the couch, Cici asks the friendly voice "Who are you calling for?" Notice the way she holds the phone, and how her middle finger is on top of the last two fingers. It's tucked back in the close-up ("What if I say goodbye?"). (00:30:25)
Continuity mistake: When Ponty wishes Miss Jones luck at the bowling tournament, she stops and turns. She also happens to hold her notepad in completely different ways in the two shots. (00:36:50)
