Shakespeare in Love picture

Continuity mistake: Halfway into the film, Shakespeare is holding Viola's face placing his hands around her jaw, looking closely at her.

The angle changes to a wider side angle and his hand has no hair around, even though he hasn't moved it at all.

Cats picture

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the song "Old Deuteronomy" watch the positions of Jo Gibb and Drew Varley flip flop in the background between long and close shots. Soon afterward, Cassandra slides down to the stage in a closeup and immediately slides down again in the long shot (while singing different lyrics). Apparently the long and close shots were often filmed in different takes and the choreography and positioning of actors were sometimes not matched very well.
