Bones and All picture Bones and All mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Lee begins walking to the bathroom in the diner and asks her how she feels about sleeping outside, she is in the middle of cutting her pancakes with a knife and fork. When the shot cuts and begins playfully growling with a kid at another table, her right hand has rotated 90°. (00:43:26)

Shattered picture

Continuity mistake: The position/angle of the telescope that Ronald uses to watch the nude lady and spot Sky in Chris' house doesn't match how the telescope was supposedly redirected. The telescope (which is already oddly angled toward the side window sill and initially corresponding to about 8:10 on a clock) would sometimes correspond to roughly 9:17 but awkwardly between 10:20 and 11:20 other times. Despite the different angles, Ronald was watching the same nude lady. (00:41:56 - 00:44:36)

Renegades picture

Continuity mistake: There are two stand-up picture frames on the table. Judy knocks over one picture frame as she walks towards and points mace at Burton. Judy continues holding the mace in her right hand and purse in her left and does not bend over to upright the frame. When Judy leaves, the picture frame is upright and roughly parallel to the other frame. (00:25:45 - 00:27:20)

Last Seen Alive picture

Continuity mistake: Will was not wearing sunglasses when he walked up to Knuckles' fence to look between the boards. When the camera shifted to the opposite side of the fence, the person looking through the boards (presumably, Will) was wearing sunglasses. When the camera shifted back to the side of the fence Will was on, Will was not wearing sunglasses. (00:40:15)

Amityville Uprising picture

Continuity mistake: The bite marks on Doc's sandwich were inconsistent/contradictory. Doc took a corner bite out of his sandwich, then the sandwich was shown with an additional side bite mark (made off-screen?). When the sandwich was shown again, the distinctive bite marks were gone and the side of the sandwich that had been eaten was straight across. Doc was holding the sandwich in his right hand; after another camera shift, Doc was holding the sandwich in his left hand and the unique side bite mark was back. (00:18:22 - 00:18:48)

Crimes of the Future picture

Continuity mistake: The top of Brecken's head was close to (within a few inches of) the headboard before his mother brought the pillow. When his mother put the pillow over his face and the camera shifted to a right-side rear view, the upper part of the bed was raised about 45°. When Lang Dotrice (Brecken's father) arrived and sat on his bed, the pillow used to smother Brecken was at least a foot away from the headboard and Brecken's head (still under the pillow) was about a yard away from the headboard. (00:04:05 - 00:07:16)

Hustle picture

Continuity mistake: In the very last scene when Bo is hugging Stanley before the game it reveals his "Never Back Down" tree tattoo on his lower left arm. Yet right after in the closing credits and presumably depicting that same game it showed his left arm after taking a shot with the tattoo removed.

Continuity mistake: Numerous times throughout the movie (largely over the course of one day) Abby's hair was inconsistent within and between scenes. It ranged from neatly combed straight back with no obvious part and a low or higher bun to relatively neatly combed back but angled to the right with a slight or obvious part to messy and frizzy, sometimes with strands dangling in the right front or behind her left ear. With all the "action" going on, she did not have the time or opportunity to comb or fix her hair.

White Elephant picture

Continuity mistake: The amount of pain pills in the bottle was inconsistent and it isn't clear how Carlo could have managed to remove the safety cap (apparently without using his injured arm). After Carlo poured about 12 pills onto the counter, the bottle later looked just as full (if not fuller) as it was. (00:28:03 - 00:28:35)

About Fate picture

Continuity mistake: The way Margot's bag/purse was set on the bed (handles hanging over the foot) was different (near the center) when Margot leaned/fell backwards onto the bed. Also, when Margot jumped off the bed, the purse was back to being closer to the foot of the bed with the handles hanging somewhat over the side. (00:23:34 - 00:28:51)

Wire Room picture

Continuity mistake: The positions of the two black SUVs relative to the driveway and garage are different when Justin is reviewing the recording and looks at images from opposite sides. In the first view, the SUVs are not pulled up close to the garage doors; the garage is at least a car's length away because it is not visible to the left of the screen. In the second (opposite) view, the SUVs are parked close to the garage and the SUV that is supposed to be parked near the corner of the driveway is further away. (00:25:30)

Black Warrant picture

Continuity mistake: When Nick pulls into the parking space, his front tires/wheels are straight (aligned with his Jeep), but angled to the right when he walks away. (00:21:19)

Gone in the Night picture

Continuity mistake: After Kath pulled up to the cabin, the position of her car changed. Kath drove parallel to the fence before turning to the right about 45° toward the front door, but when she got out of her car, its rear end was perpendicular to the fence. The angle of the shot of Al coming out the front door would also place Kath's car more pendicular to the cabin instead of at an angle, and parallel to the fence instead of at an angle. (00:05:39 - 00:06:36)

Burn picture

Continuity mistake: The views of Pinero's dead "trophy wife" from opposite sides of the bed were not consistent. From Seth's view, Pinero's wife was lying mostly on her right side with her hair covering her head/neck but otherwise not visible, and her right arm extended outward from her waist area. From the other side of the bed, Pinero's wife's long wavy hair was over her left breast and should have been visible from Seth's position but was not. The wife's right arm also extended outward from her shoulder area. (00:00:22 - 00:01:19)
