Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows picture

Continuity mistake: The first time Sherlock shows his camouflage suit, its brown colour changes between the first and second shot. The first one matches exactly that of the room, but the second doesn't. Clearly the first one was achieved with a green-chroma-suit, and the second angle was a coloured fabric.

Source Code picture

Continuity mistake: Multiple scenes: On every exterior shot of the train, you can only see one row of windows across the upper galley section. However, whenever there is a scene shot on the upper 'galley' level, there are two rows of windows, one right above the other. The external shots were filmed using a Chicago Metra train (which uses 'bilevel' galley cars), the internal scenes were filmed on a set in Montreal, Canada.

Conan the Barbarian picture Conan the Barbarian mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Conan first fights Remo, Conan places a blood stain on his forehead by pressing his sword to it. Remo then runs off, and Conan gives chase immediately, pausing only to get Tamara on his horse. The stain is still there when Conan mounts his horse. The next time we see them, Conan and Tamara is still chasing Remo, but now Conan's face is completely clean. It is highly unlikely he would pause in pursuit of one of his father's killers to wash his face. (00:47:55)
