Life in a Year picture

Continuity mistake: Daryn starts running/jogging in summer foliage. Autumn foliage is shown in an aerial view, then it switches back to summer and Daryn is running on the street. When Daryn says "bye" to Ms. Murdoch, there is spring foliage behind him but summer foliage behind him when the camera shifts. It is one timed-running session and he is wearing the same clothes. (00:01:30 - 00:02:28)

Godmothered picture

Continuity mistake: Jane Curtin is teaching to a rather seasoned class. One of those old hags says sarcastically "Because we really never do anything." As she says it, notice Eleanor turning towards her momentarily. She then turns completely, facing the opposite way, but at the cut she is repeating the turn from the beginning. Moreover, Moira's mouth closes after she says "Enough!" but the following shot on Curtin shows her still jaw-dropped. (00:04:05)

Horse Girl picture Horse Girl mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The protagonist receives her gift from Molly Shannon. She unwraps it and puts the discarded wrapping on the counter. When we see it again at the end of the scene, the wrapping is much less torn apart than the first time around (or at least has been arranged neatly). (00:09:45)

The Rental picture

Continuity mistake: Views of Michelle's car wreck were inconsistent. When the car veered to the right and was headed toward the tree, the driver's view showed most of the car was to the left of the tree trunk. On impact, it looked like the right side headlight hit the middle of the tree trunk. Michelle got out and a rear view showed the tree trunk roughly lined up with the steering wheel (i.e, more than half of the car was to the right of the trunk). After impact, both headlights were shining in front of the tree.

The Night Clerk picture

Continuity mistake: The replay of Bart and Andrea's conversation at check-in are not verbatim - at times, only a word or two ("uh", "um", "just") is added, but other times there are parts that simply were not stated. Granted, Bart is practising and his additions are not meant to be a reflection of what was actually stated, but the things Andrea said were on tape and these do not always match. Bart did not ask, "Seven nights?" and Andrea didn't reply, "Yeah. A week, maybe longer. I'm not sure yet. So, you're new." (00:27:14 - 00:28:47)

Brahms: The Boy II picture

Continuity mistake: Brahms was quite clean for having been buried under dirt and leaves. No dirt fell off Brahms' body when Jude pulled him out of his "grave" and there did not appear to be dirt in his hair. When Sean (Jude's father) held up Brahms, the doll looked relatively clean - or cleaner compared to when Liza (Jude's mother) started to wash him. (00:14:10 - 00:15:45)

On the Rocks picture

Continuity mistake: When Theo says, "You can pull them [flowers] out if you want to", there's one flower that is slightly pulled away from the vase, drooping below the others. When Felix [Bill Murray] is next to the flowers, there is not a flower pulled out at first, but there is a few camera shifts later. (00:34:00 - 00:36:37)
