The Spy Who Dumped Me picture

Continuity mistake: At the end of the taxi chase where the final biker is hit by the bus, the bus is shown moving at speed, and easily clears the junction where the taxi halted before you heard tyre squeals to signify it stopping. Yet in the next scene as the crowd gather around the presumably dead biker, the scene is shown happening in the middle of the junction, with the bus stopped almost before it's even entered the junction.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure picture

Continuity mistake: When Newt is straddling Thomas with a knife pointed down at his upper left chest, it's very obvious that the knife goes into his chest, through Thomas' shirt. A few minutes later, when Thomas is kneeling over Newt, after Newt stabs himself in the chest, the stab hole in Thomas' shirt is no longer there and he isn't bleeding. (01:50:45)

Ready Player One picture Ready Player One mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Right in the beginning, Wade hops out a window from his home and starts walking beside it to the edge to climb to the next level down. As he starts walking he passes by another window with a curtain. It then cuts to a closer angle and suddenly the window no longer has a curtain. Also a wire appears on the wall in front of him. And you can tell it is the same house, not a time jump, as the rust at the top of the window frame is exactly the same. (00:01:15)

Incredibles 2 picture

Continuity mistake: At the end of The Incredibles, when the Underminer shows up, the Parr family don their masks but are still in their civilian clothes, though Bob is about to take off his shirt. At the beginning of Incredibles 2, in the flashback, as soon as the Underminer appears, they appear in their super suits. Also, the Underminer leaves out "I hereby declare war on peace and happiness! Soon all will tremble before me!" (02:00:00)

Rampage picture Rampage mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the conversation Nelson is having with Davis about spending more time with animals than people, they are walking out to Davis' jeep and there is a yellow pole attached to the building on the other side of his jeep. The direction of the sunlight is casting a shadow from it on the wall. Nelson and Davis only talk for about 35 seconds, and then the camera pulls back again as Davis begins to drive off and suddenly the shadow from the pole is much longer. (00:12:10 - 00:12:45)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: I agree this APPEARS to be correct, but I think it is questionable - it COULD be the left arm. The covered thumbs-up arm the Predator extended to the driver had its fingers curled toward the palm, not straight out like they were. There was a zigzag pattern on the glove's wrist, but this could be the opposite (outer) side if it also had the pattern, not the inner side. The thumb looked broken - giving the image that it might have been the right thumb, but actually the left. You MIGHT be right.

KeyZOid

The mistake is valid, no correction needed. It's a right hand that extends through the opening and a left arm seen on the floor. A key factor is the knuckles location, so it doesn't matter if the thumb looked broken.

Bishop73

I watched several times and still believe it could be the left hand. The way the fingers are folded (curled) toward the palm, they look like left knuckles.

KeyZOid

If the hand was a left hand, then you wouldn't see the knuckles.

Bishop73

No matter which way fingers are folded under toward the palm, there will be knuckles showing on either side. (Make a fist and see for yourself!) No further replies from me here.

KeyZOid

Then you misunderstand what I mean by knuckles. I'm talking about the metacarpophalangeal joint, not the interphalangeal joint.

Bishop73

No, I didn't... and knuckles are knuckles! [Now, no additional replies from me here.].

Game Night picture

Mortal Engines picture

Continuity mistake: The Stalker, "Shrike," is a persistent hunter, but not terribly quick on his feet. He's sort of a lurching, Frankenstein-like cyborg who is always pursuing Hester Shaw at about walking speed. When Valentine frees Shrike from Sharkmoor prison, miles out to sea, we see Valentine in his airship destroying the prison and we see Shrike's prison cell sink to the sea floor. This cuts to a long distance shot of the prison exploding and sinking in the far background, miles away, as Valentine's airship comes sweeping from the far background into the foreground and out of frame. Almost immediately, Shrike emerges from the surf in the foreground and slowly trudges ashore, implying that he somehow travelled miles across the sea floor just as swiftly as did the airship, in a matter of moments, despite his slow, lumbering gait. (00:47:40)
