A Room with a View picture

Continuity mistake: Right after Lucy buys her pictures, she walks on the plaza and takes off her coat, carrying it on her arm. When she starts fainting, George catches her and starts carrying her. Both of her arms are in clear sight and the coat is nowhere to be seen. The shot changes, and then her coat is again wrapped around her right arm, squished between their bodies.

The Legend of Billie Jean picture

Continuity mistake: When Lloyd wheels out his camera and begins filming, you can see that it's a Betamax. When the cute little kid holds up the video tape produced by that camera, it's a VHS tape. (You can tell because it fits neatly inside the box. Beta tapes were entirely different dimensions from VHS and a Betamax wouldn't fit in a VHS box.)
