Detective Knight: Rogue picture

Continuity mistake: The clock on the wall behind Casey jumped from 10:45 to 11:00 while he was talking to his wife and daughter. At times, the clock appeared to have 3-4 hands and when a hand should have been visible behind his back pointing at "12", no hands could be seen. (00:19:16 - 00:19:46)

Sniper: Rogue Mission picture

Continuity mistake: The way Brandon holds his rifle out the window changes. In some shots (almost every other one), Brandon is holding it at a downward angle (toward the people at ground level) but in other shots he is holding it straight out (parallel to the floor). Also, the man looking out the binoculars holds them straight out instead of at a downward angle. (01:00:43 - 01:01:24)

The Contractor picture

Continuity mistake: The tattoo artist is almost finished drawing the American flag on the boy's upper right arm. After he wipes it and there's a quick camera shift, the tattoo is less complete - the stripes are bloodier, more jagged, and of unequal width like they were earlier. (00:14:31)

Jurassic Island picture

Continuity mistake: Ava sees the stack of mail on the table. She sweeps her hand (fingertips and envelopes are off-screen), as she slides the top envelope closer. Ava picks up the top envelope, as if her hand sweep does not move any of the envelopes (and serves no purpose). (00:05:48)

Breath picture

Continuity mistake: The sky (sun versus clouds and color - blue, white, or gray) changes frequently during the few minutes when Lara is leaving the site until she returns to retrieve her bag. Before she falls into the hole, the sun is shown near the horizon, about to set, but the sun is shining on her in the hole. A setting sun would not be able to emit rays into a distant hole. (00:05:34 - 00:10:15)

A Christmas Karen picture

Continuity mistake: When the Christmas carolers were at Karen's house, the front and rear views of the kids differed - in arrangement by their heights and a taller girl visible in the front view but who was not visible (but should have been) in the rear view. (00:08:14)

Double Threat picture

Continuity mistake: During the fight, Natasha got into the Ford truck's bed and kicked the tailgate open (down). Nobody closes the tailgate, but it is closed (up) when Natasha is standing behind it talking to Jimmy. The closed tailgate is visible when Jimmy is driving away after Ellis and Ask arrived. (00:35:00 - 00:36:25)

Hunting Souls picture

Hellraiser picture

Continuity mistake: When Joey is talking to Voight about the puzzle box and Voight tells him to "Keep going," pay attention. It's kind of hard to notice, but if you look closely, in the over-the-shoulder shot facing Joey, you can tell that Voight is standing straight, facing Joey before it cuts. When it cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly Voight's body has rotated about 90° (to his right).

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)

Redeeming Love picture

Continuity mistake: Angel had her hands very close to (almost touching) the towel, but when the camera shifted to a front view of her, the towel was a couple feet away from her hands. Also, the peppers that were to the right of her hands were suddenly in front of them (moved with the celery to her left). (02:00:00)
