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)

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)

Dark Glasses picture

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Diana kicking her client in the nads, the background shows the footboard of the bed behind them, but they are at the side of the bed, close to the bedstand, a moment before and after. (00:14:30)

Sin Eater picture

Continuity mistake: Isaac told Christine he would give Elijah his phone back and grabbed it from her. Isaac had the phone in his right hand when he turned to go out the door. When Isaac came out the front door, he was not holding the phone in his hand and it did not look like the phone was in any of his pockets. Isaac had police equipment around his belt (not the phone). (00:55:25)

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).

My Best Friend's Exorcism picture

Continuity mistake: The piece of paper that had "MIN" written on it suddenly changed from being in the corner of the table to being on the left side of the planchette (heart-shaped pointer), which was near the center of the Ouija board and table. (00:10:20)

All Eyes picture

Continuity mistake: Dan and Allen were close together when they were talking on the dirt road. Based on how far Allen threw the blindfold toward Dan's feet, Dan's feet/boots should have been visible. The blindfold was close to Dan's feet in the wider shot. (00:15:13)

Continuity mistake: While Ben is talking to Eloise, his glass of alcohol is about three-fourths full, but when he lifts the drink to his mouth, his glass is almost empty. (00:07:20)

Assailant picture

Continuity mistake: The angle (from diagonal to more horizontal) and appearance (from bloody and jagged to a continuous thin line) of the cut on Zoe's forehead changed within a short amount of time. (00:47:16 - 00:47:43)

Dig (2022)

Dig picture

Continuity mistake: The window with broken blinds to the right of the hole in the wall turns into a green curtain for a couple seconds, then back to blinds. When Pablo is pulling the money out of the hole in the wall, the green curtain shows up next to it (a couple feet from where the window is located). [There is a tattered green curtain on the adjacent wall.]. (00:26:33 - 00:27:06)

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)

Gold picture

Continuity mistake: Virgil is speared on the left side of his body by a dead tree limb, but after he crawls to the gold and turns onto his back, the spear is on his right side. He eventually pulls it out of his left side. (01:16:28 - 01:17:38)

Code Name Banshee picture

Continuity mistake: The way Banshee's bangs are combed back vary a few times in a couple minutes (elevator fight scene). Sometimes, the left side is higher than the right side and other times the highest point is near the middle of her forehead. The "curve" at which the bangs are combed toward the right side also vary, from little to no curve to wavier toward the right. (00:06:36 - 00:07:57)

The Reef: Stalked picture

Continuity mistake: The amount of wine in Annie's glass (as well as Nic's) decreases then increases without her adding any. Annie had almost one-half a glass of wine when she poured some into Nic's glass, then it was closer to one-fourth full. A little later, Annie's glass appeared to have the amount she initially had when she approached Nic. (00:13:59)

Where the Crawdads Sing picture

Continuity mistake: Various views of Chase's dead body were inconsistent. From the two boys' perspective, Chase's body was at the edge of the water and the sun was shining on the water and along/near his left leg. An aerial view showed a canopy of tree leaves over the area, meaning the sunshine would not be able to penetrate the thick tree cover. From the sheriff's view in the tower (unobstructed by trees), the position of Chase's body relative to the fire tower was too far away and at the wrong angle. (00:03:00 - 00:04:08)

Sniper: Rogue Mission picture

Continuity mistake: The kitchen walls were distorted (at awkward angles), but Zero got to the house around 6:46 and talked to Shelly for a short period of time. The now-blurred clock on the wall appeared to advance to almost 6:47, keeping a reasonably approximate pace with the scene's progress. However, only about 30 seconds passed until Brandon came in, but the clock (no longer blurred) had jumped to 6:50. (00:28:00 - 00:28:50)

Barbarian picture

Continuity mistake: The first time Tess tries to open the lockbox with the key inside when she gets to the house, the way she is touching/holding it changes between cuts. Specifically, she goes from only having one hand on it to both hands.

Escape the Field picture

Continuity mistake: A full moon was shown, but it was quite dark even around the campfire. When the man came and said there was something in the field, the sky was black. About a minute later when Cameron tripped/fell, there was (moon) light near the ground. (00:16:09 - 00:18:19)
