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)

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)

The Search for Secret Santa picture

Continuity mistake: The gingerbread man cookie falls into the coffee cup, and the top is barely below the rim. Looking into the cup, the top of the cookie is much further down but does not fall this fast. The coffee cup is about half-full. Jackson takes a drink. The cookie does not interfere with the flow of the coffee into Jackson's mouth. When Jackson lowers the cup from his mouth, there is no visible cookie. (00:08:20)

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)

Tethered picture

Continuity mistake: Solomon put the rope around his waist underneath his coat, but when he was walking through the woods the rope was tied over his coat. Also, the knot would start out in the front of his left side but change to behind his back even though the rope was loose (not taut) behind him. (00:01:55 - 00:02:26)

Fallen picture

Continuity mistake: Before Abraham stands near the wooden cross, there are piles of wood and a blue/white water hydrant (?) behind him. When he stands and takes a step, only one pile of wood is visible. After he takes a few diagonal steps behind the cross and turns around, he is standing in front of his house that was not there. (The house should have been visible when he was sitting near the cross). (00:45:51 - 00:46:12)

Girl Gone Bad picture

Continuity mistake: Ron (dad) brings Amanda her dinner. He carries a bowl approximately centered on a square plate. He quickly sets the plate on the table, so does not have time to adjust the position of the bowl. Ron walks away and the bowl is to the far side of the plate, and there are crackers filling the remaining space on the other side. (00:01:20 - 00:01:57)

Family Dinner picture

Continuity mistake: Simi enters the bedroom and the upper half of the bedspread is smooth. Aunt Claudia is holding a book with both hands, so she is not touching the bed. The front (somewhat aerial) view of the bed shows that the upper part of the bedspread has multiple ripples. (00:17:55 - 00:18:42)

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)
