Ragamuffin picture

Continuity mistake: Rich is dangling a light bulb above his dad's head. When the camera shifts to a close-up of Rich, the light bulb is higher - almost across from his own face - but back to dangling above his dad's head with the next camera shift. This is independent of Rich's dad telling him to "hold the light steady." (00:06:23)

Suggested correction: I've changed my mind about this entry. I realise now that these seeming errors are actually intentional, albeit hamfisted, visual manifestations of the changing timeline. I personally think this is a silly way to portray the changing of history due to time travel and the butterfly effect, but who am I to argue with how a fictional construct that seems to defy logic would play out. I'd remove my original entry but I don't see any mechanism to do that.

Continuity mistake: The movie opens with an American Football match; look out for the girl wearing number 6 for the red team, Molosses, who has mid-length locks of straight reddish hair coming out of the helmet, down her back. When a touchdown is scored and celebrations begin, number 6 takes her helmet off, revealing the face of the protagonist, Karidja Touré, who has long black hair in braids. (00:01:20 - 00:02:40)

The Gambler picture

Continuity mistake: The cut (s) on Jim's lower left lip frequently changed. At the "Wildcats" game, there appeared to be three slits, but they were not easily seen and it wasn't apparent how he got them. In the earlier beating he got from Lee's Heavy #1 and 2, his lip didn't get cut and the previous cut on his lip was not visible. When Jim met with Neville, he had three distinct vertical slits/cuts on his lower left lip. Thereafter, the appearance (presence or absence) of these cuts continued to vary. (01:25:55 - 01:31:45)

She's Funny That Way picture

Continuity mistake: Judge Pendergast calls the daughter of his therapist, who reacts with typical New York aplomb. During the scene, the same extras continue to walk back and forth with no logic, sometimes coming twice from the same direction, even. Most egregious example the blonde with a ponytail and sunglasses on top of her head. She is behind Jennifer Aniston in the opening shot and appears at least 4 times (possibly more but there's another blonde too -unless it's the same one who occasionally removed the glasses) and walks away from Aniston and Forte two times in a row. (00:17:40)
