Five Feet Apart picture

Continuity mistake: During Stella and Will's walk, Will's scarf was consistently wrapped one time around his neck, but the length of his scarf on either side varied.

When Will was lying in the snow, the scarf ends were almost equal (reaching about half-way down his coat); when he stood up, the ends were far apart. After he fell in the snow, Will got up and adjusted the scarf ends to be about the same in length. (01:25:35 - 01:29:30)

Fighting with My Family picture

Continuity mistake: One of the young AWA wrestlers, Ez, is a drug dealer; we see him hand some drugs to a guy with a grey hoodie who just walks off. The camera does not cut away. A couple of seconds after the deal, Ez spots Zak's van, and he sprints away. In the next shot, he turns the corner and runs past the guy he gave the drugs to; not only is this guy completely unfazed, but he also manages to put an ungodly amount of distance between them in just a few seconds by walking so calmly. (00:06:50)
