A Quiet Place picture

Continuity mistake: This mistake is apparent after watching A Quiet Place 2. At the start of the movie when the family are at the store, a New York Post is visible on the newsstand with the headline "It's Sound." This would suggest that the invasion didn't hit the town immediately and that they had time to have newspaper deliveries and actually put them on sale. However, in the second film, it was evident that civilisation was pretty much destroyed on day one.

Continuity mistake: In the first WW2 flashback the protagonist is handing the various items to the Nazi doorman. When he puts down the pen, he is doing it with a left hand in the table close-up, but he picked it with his right, as the left arm is busy holding the coat. (00:02:05)

Benched picture

Continuity mistake: The position of Don's baseball cap on the table changes two times. Initially, the cap is near the corner of the table with the visor and letter "P" roughly parallel to the front of his body. After he pours beer into his glass, the visor is angled more toward the corner of the table (even though the camera appears to pan around it). When Don brings Mike back to the table, the cap visor is pointed toward Don and is at a differently angle (more parallel to the front of his body again). (00:00:09 - 00:01:47)

Searching picture

Continuity mistake: After David has sent his daughter texts asking since when does she not text at school, it shows he's in a video conference with some other people split onto 3 screens on his computer. The image of his boss above and the image of the 3 people to the left of David's video never changes. However, upon cutting to closer or further angles of David's video, it frequently switches back and froth from a mirrored image or not. Despite there being no reason for it switching depending on the movie's camera. (00:15:40)

City of Lies picture

Continuity mistake: At the ballpark, Poole is seated (alone) in the top row, four seats in. There is a large square pillar separating the next section (to the left of the screen). In the lower left-hand corner, a dark-haired man with a mustache can be seen. When the camera returns, the pillar is gone, Poole appears to be in the third (not fourth) seat, and the dark-haired man is seated as high as Poole. (00:39:35)

Death Wish picture

Continuity mistake: When Fish gets shot in the leg and runs out of ammo, we see him on the monitor still trying to shoot in vain. When it cuts to him, the slide is locked back and we see him release the slide and try to shoot. But in the next shot of him, the slide is once again locked back. Since we know he's out of ammo and he didn't reload or fire the gun, the only way for that to happen is if he manually pulled the slide back, which he didn't have an opportunity to do (not that it would even make sense to do).
