Bernie The Dolphin picture

Other mistake: After Kevin and Holly go kayaking in the ocean and get to shore, their upper bodies and hair are dry despite having been in a tandem-style sit-on-top kayak, which generally means the kayakers will get quite wet. (00:03:40)

Mirage picture

Continuity mistake: When Nico hears the television whilst drawing Vera's face, he picks up the drawing and goes to the television. When he stands up, he is holding the drawing so that his right hand is positioned toward the bottom of the right-hand side of the page. In the next shot, his right hand is closer to the middle of the page. (00:42:24)

Until Judge Do Us Apart picture

Continuity mistake: Paolo's wife finds the text message of the girl calling him "my eternal love." In close-up she is holding the phone with the index finger at the very top of the phone, but in the previous and following shots the index is far from reaching that spot. (00:09:15)

Deep Blue Sea 2 picture

Other mistake: A female bull shark has between 1-13 pups. The exact number in the movie is questionable (due to their speed), but appeared to be well over the maximum 13 and perhaps closer to double this amount. Classified as "other" instead of "factual" mistake because the mother shark's DNA was altered, which could possibly explain a higher number of pups per pregnancy. (01:03:20 - 01:06:40)

Continuity mistake: Some figurines on Lidya's nightstand changed positions near the start. The rabbit was moved closer to the front, then back. The blue object was moved back a couple inches. (00:03:15 - 00:03:58)

The Bouncer picture

Continuity mistake: When Lukas is looking in the bathroom mirror, the upper half of his laceration looks about three times the width of the lower half. When he exits the bathroom, the laceration looks like one line with the same width. (00:15:45)

SuperFly picture

Continuity mistake: When Priest and Georgina throw the molotov cocktails at Juju from the balcony, watch closely - right as Priest throws the second molotov cocktail and the camera cuts from a bird's eye to a ground-level angle, the position of the two men and the carpet they're standing on changes between cuts.

The Cloverfield Paradox picture

Continuity mistake: In the car at the start, when Hamilton says it's like the fourth blackout today, Michael corrects her and says it's the fifth. When he says this, he is leaning forwards some as he looks up out the windshield with his mouth partly open. It cuts to a different angle and suddenly he's leaned back in his seat fully and his mouth closed. (00:01:30)

Quantom X

More The Cloverfield Paradox mistakes

Continuity mistake: Dan set his lighter on top of the pack of cigarettes with their bottoms flush, but a close-up showed the lighter at an angle with one corner protruding past the bottom of the pack of cigarettes. (00:04:52 - 00:05:28)

The Dark picture

Factual error: The police officer that shows up does two stupid things in a row that real police would never do. When investigating a kidnapping, he calls in what the car was they were looking for. Which he sees. Instead of calling for back up, or even mentioning to dispatch that he found a car that looks like it, after coming from a murder scene at a gas station and following a map left behind to this spot, he approaches the car alone, without calling for back up, or drawing his weapon. Shortly thereafter, he finds the kidnapped boy inside the car, who tells him the man who took him is in the house. The officer then proceeds to go into the house alone to look for a dangerous kidnapper without waiting for backup, even mentioning to the kid that his partner is on the way. (00:32:00 - 00:33:35)

The Commuter picture

Factual error: Michael boards a commuter train at Grand Central, which then stops at subway stations at 68th Street, 86th Street, and 110th Street along Lexington Avenue. This is impossible.

Dark Was the Night picture

Continuity mistake: There are several variations or inconsistencies in Marcus' hair and tie from the time he goes through the metal detector and sits in the courtroom. His hair was consistently "messy", but disheveled right and/or left sides were inconsistent. The tie was fairly snug against his collar at first, but got looser then tighter. (00:54:14 - 00:57:08)
