The Cousin (1974)

Continuity mistake: Nini's mother fishes the telephone out of the bathtub. A naked little boy prances around the room and Christian De Sica is in a quite recognizable position, leg up scrubbing the sole of his foot. Cut, and De Sica is now simply sitting in the tub as if nothing happened. (00:22:00)

Continuity mistake: The old man in the hotel lobby pulls the flowers out of the megaphone and calls the protagonist. She lowers the headset to talk to him. The left speaker is all the way across the opposite side of the neck in the first shot, less shifted to that side in close-up. (00:04:00)

Street Sharks (1994)

Sharkbait - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: To beat the traffic, Coop skateboards inside a construction pipe. The pipe is on the back of a truck, so it's not exactly very long, and gets picked up by a crane arm mounted on the truckbed itself. However, Coop takes ages to come out of the pipe, and in the shot from inside the pipe it looks as if is dozens of meters above the street level, which isn't. (00:08:00)

Misogi, Don't Die - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Ishizaki misses his tackle on Misugi and knocks down the supporters instead. You can see that they fall into the playing field, inside the lines. Sanae sits on him. Though and the lines are gone. The pants of the rightmost bystander go from brown to blue, also. (00:17:55)

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: In the finale, Willow and the librarian recite the identikit of the sacrificial lamb. When Britt Ekland says her lines in two close-ups, her hair is neatly arranged and immune to the wind that blows in every other shots.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: During the ritual, the hobbyhorse wriggles before lord Summerisle. The swordsmen then gather around a stone; in the next shot they are standing on the stone, with the shadows that show that a disproportionate amount of time has passed.

Rules Don't Apply (2016)

Continuity mistake: In the back of the car, Marla and her mother are discussing Marla's "unsupported body parts" and their undulations. When she replies "How does he know they're unsupported?", the left bit of the scarf at her neck shifts from one side of the buttoned top to the other. (00:14:10)

A Wise Decision - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: The kids are chatting and dismissing the threat of a Hyuga-less Meiwa FC. In front of Teppei Kisugi there's a red sports bag and something like a burlap sack; the two items switch position with the camera angles. (00:07:15)

Mega-Shot - S2-E11

Continuity mistake: Yayoi sits by Tsubasa as she tells him Jun's sad story. When she says "He might never be able to play football again", behind the two there are already more than the 4 steps they sit on in other shots. (00:13:55)

My Heart Still Beats - S2-E10

Continuity mistake: Misaki walks away from the penalty area trying to find an opening for Tsubasa. When he thinks "Tsubasa-kun" looking at him obstructed by two players, the logo on his chest changed proportions. (00:10:00)

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: Howie is inside the Wicker Man and stares at the sun while lord Summerisle pronounces the line "Accept our sacrifice." Howie's right hand is touching the bar at the middle of the door, but when the camera is on Christopher Lee, the position on the cage is different.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: When Sergeant Howie is looking at what he believes to be the setting for the final sacrifice, the first torchbearer (the one wearing blue jeans) is simply standing in the wider shots, and has one knee raised in intermediate shot with a closer angle.

The Wicker Man (1973)

Continuity mistake: Lord Summerisle announces that it's time for the sacrifice to appease the gods of the earth. A horn is blown, and everyone turns towards it. In the shot from behind, everyone in front of Howie/Punch moved aside, but in the shot from the front, there's still a man with a flannel jacket and a badger mask.

Continuity mistake: Lord Summerisle is offering a tribute of ale to the god of the sea. Two villagers help him; in the close-up on them at the end of the wagon, the one on the left puts his hand on the barrel, but in the next shot his hand is on the cart.
