Shadow Man picture

Continuity mistake: When Jack shoots the cop Urick, the slug perforates his suit coat, both front and back, as well as his right lung. However, when he rendezvous with the Russians atop the parking garage, his suit coat is pristine. Had he changed into another identical coat, would he have not changed his bloody shirt and tie at the same time?

Annapolis picture

Continuity mistake: Throughout the film, Burton is continuously called the wrong rank. He introduces himself to Huard as Lieutenant Commander Burton in the beginning. Then calls himself "A 36-year-old, out-of-shape Lieutenant" when he boxes Huard, and is called Lieutenant Burton by the boxing coach during the fight against Cole.

Take the Lead picture

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Dulaine forces Rock and LaRhette to dance the waltz together, he takes off his necktie and blindfolds LaRhette with it. Throughout the scene the blindfold is different nearly every time the camera angle changes - the "tail" created by the wide end of the tie gets longer and shorter, the knot alternately loosens and tightens and moves from side to side across the back of her head, and the whole thing slides up and down her nose. It's so distracting I spent the whole scene watching to see how it was going to move next.

Android Apocalypse picture

Continuity mistake: When Joey Lawrence and the rest of the androids catch up to the run-away prisoner after Lawrence lets them go, they tell Joey to walk towards him. Each back shot of Joey he has his right arm in front of his chest. Every front shot both arms are at his sides. This happens the whole scene.

For Your Consideration picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Marilyn arrives at the bar to see her friend Liz, as she sits down there is only a bowl of olives in front of her. A few shots later, there is now a drink in front of her as well. Never during the scene does she order a drink, or does a bartender set one down in front of her. (00:33:15 - 00:34:25)

Altered picture

Continuity mistake: When the guy who swears way too much is pointing a flamethrower at the two other characters in the garage, he's holding the flamethrower nozzle in his right hand. But when he goes to roll up his left sleeve to show them his arm, he uses his right hand, and it's a direct sequence cut (note the left hand is visible in the same shot and is not holding the flamethrower). After he rolls his sleeve up, he's holding the flamethrower nozzle in his right hand again.

The Fountain picture

Continuity mistake: Tom's spacecraft is first seen rotating on its axis while it travels upward along that axis. When the scene cuts from the exterior to the interior and Tom lands on the ground, the stars outside are no longer moving in a way to indicate rotation, although the illusion of upward motion is preserved. The fact that we see the stars moving at all is a bit unrealistic given how fast one would have to travel for this to be noticeable, but since this is fiction and in the future we can imagine it is possible. (00:07:25)

Ultraviolet picture Ultraviolet mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film, Violet infiltrates the complex and makes her way into a white room with tons of men in white suits. She starts fighting them and when a couple of guys come at her, she moves quickly and one guy stabs the other in the chest. When she goes to elbow one of the guys in the face, watch his helmet, it comes flying off, revealing his head and hair. When the camera quickly changes to another angle, his helmet is on perfectly straight. (01:17:45)
