Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: The police inspector threatens Diana implying that for a blind woman like she is, life in prison would be a nightmare. He does that casually leaning against the wall with his hand held up high above his head. In the reverse shot, his hand is chest-high. (00:38:15)

Dark Glasses (2022)

Continuity mistake: Diana is meeting a client who is really into fisting, and does not take nicely her refusal to be on the receiving end of his knuckles. As he shoves her to the floor, her hands are plainly on sight, and they hold nothing, but conveniently when she is on the floor in the next shot she is holding the mace spray can. (00:14:15)

The System - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Nicholas distracts Chuck the security guard with a phone call (terrible plan, since he tells him to search in a spot awfully close to the monitor he's supposed to be distracted from), he touches the papers next to the monitor and the pen in front of it, but when it cuts to him looking at the recording while Grant is working the safe, the objects are in the exact same position as before when he was looking at the money count. (00:19:55 - 00:26:15)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: Frank approaches the dead tree, and Brigade tells him "That's close enough." In the background, the henchman with the hat that is most frequently shot on his own, separate from the others, is on the horse completely still. In the close-up, he's having a hard time keeping him quiet. (01:07:05)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: In the first close-up of the big evil that is Billy's brother, Lee Van Cleef's face is lit under a totally different light (when he says "It ain't the money that Brigade wants. Not the money at all"). (00:50:05)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: Whit and Boone are watching the freshly widowed Mrs. Lane and entertain some fine vintage sexist talk about her need for a new man. At the end of it, Boone slaps his buddy with a wet hankie on the cheek and it limps on the shoulder. James Coburn laughs and squeezes his buddy's gift tight in hand, but in the next shot it is back on his shoulder. (00:41:35)
