The Nice Guys

Continuity mistake: When March nearly kills himself punching the door, the hole in the glass changes between shots; there's next to no glass left at the top of the panel he punched, then it grows back a couple inches. (00:09:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Jackson Healy takes the envelope from Amelia and begins counting the money. She eases the grip on the wheel in the side view, but she's again clenching it tight in the frontal view. Moreover, when he tells her she's short, she has just one hand on it; cut away a second, and she's again with the same grip as the previous part of the scene, showing two separate takes edited together. (00:07:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The 'big boy' goes to check the car that crashed through his house. He leans against a plain spot on the car's door, but in the next shot he does it gripping the bottom tray. (00:02:25)

Sammo

Factual error: When Holland March is swimming behind the bar with mermaids, "Get Down On It" from Kool and The gang is playing. That song did not come out until 1981 and the film is set in 1977. (00:39:50)
