Someone Great picture

Continuity mistake: When we see Erin and Leah for the first time, they're talking and smoochin'. Despite the conversation being continuous, the reciprocal position of their hands changes abruptly between shots at the beginning (Erin's hand is on the outside of Leah's, then on the inside, then outside again). (00:05:25)

Fighting with My Family picture

Continuity mistake: When Ricky hits Union Jack with a garbage can lid, Union Jack rubs his nose, then lowers his hand as he says, "Fine." But then his hand is on his nose again. More shoddy continuity ensues; Ricky is told on the phone about another stunt, UJ is rubbing his neck, but the arm is down in the next shot. Yet another similar mistake occurs when Ricky asks for his approval after the groin shot; hand under the chin, then not, gesture repeated. (00:10:30)

Buffaloed picture

Continuity mistake: Throughout the movie, Peg's hair frequently changes from scene to scene and within a scene. When her hair has a blue ribbon around a bun at the top, her side parts are sometimes higher/lower and straight/jagged. The length of her hair varies, as does the amount of curl on the bottom. One of most noticeable variations in her hair length and curl occurs during her speech to her new employees at Personal Expenditures Garnering. It changes several times from just to the shoulders to a few inches below her shoulders. Back views of her hair tend to be shorter and front views tend to be longer. (00:44:42)

The Dead Don't Die picture

Continuity mistake: At the police station, Ronnie gets up and switches the table lamp off when Mindy stands. Wrong continuity at the cut, though. Adam Driver still has the hand on the lamp, but his other hand is suddenly on the back of his own chair (it wasn't before), and Chloe Sevigny suddenly has her jacket in her right hand which was on the back of her chair. (00:20:55)
