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)

Lap Dance picture

Continuity mistake: Kevin Shepherd pulls over in front of her fiancee's dad. It's still a wide angle, but you can see distinctly both her and his left arm stretched forward; she is looking at her engagement ring, he has his hand on the steering wheel. Before the camera cuts away though, he lowers his arm; it is not acknowledged in the new shot, where both have still their left arm forward. (00:03:35)

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)
