Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel mistake picture

Continuity mistake: In the dream sequence at the beginning of the movie, Vers is looking at the bloodstained palm of her hand. It turns into the back of her hand immediately after - which could be fine especially in a dream/flashback scene, but the hand is also differently marked with the blue goo - in the POV shot her middle finger had barely a little spot on the pad, while in the following shot it has blood all over. (00:01:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Vers early in the morning the first day shows up at Yon-Rogg's door. Jude Law is rubbing his shoulder in the front view, while he has his fingers stretched behind his ear in the reverse shot. (00:02:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the flashback about the kart race, the protagonist gets passed by another vehicle, number 5. He gives her the sensible advice to slow down, which makes her accelerate. The kart is shown moving to the left and rear ending number 5, which is curious because she had already been passed by another kart in the meantime (driven by a guy with a green striped shirt) who is nowhere to be seen. He has number 3 and was dead last earlier. (00:14:55)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the flashback of her military training, when she lies flat on her back after falling from the rope, the shadow on Brie Larson's chest changes between shots. (00:15:40)

Continuity mistake: Vers KOs the Skrull she does the warcry thing at, and then another one on the corridor steps. She is then seen fighting from the perspective of the corridor to her right, but there are no Skrulls in sight against that door, while at least one was already lying down there. There are two when the camera gets back closer, and when she neutralizes the last one who bounces onto his own stun mace, there are again two, and she somehow got between the last one and the others. (00:20:30)

Continuity mistake: When Vers lands in the Blockbuster, the establishing shot of the street shows the cardboard cutout of True Lies facing the outside from the window (Jamie Lee Curtis on the left of Schwarzenegger). When Vers blasts it, it is facing her, so faces the inside of the store. (00:23:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Vers throws the old lady against the roof of the train, the guy with a sleeveless shirt next to the guy making funny faces keeps switching position between shots, between cowering in fear behind his newspaper and having the newspaper hand down against the armrest. (00:31:25)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Coming out of the train, Vers moves through the crowd. She passes by the same person with a petrol windbreaker, reading a newspaper. She moves past him but he's still in front of her in the next shot. (00:33:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Vers grabs the man with the purple sweater at the station, she lowers her punching arm in the view from behind, but she still has her arm up ready to hit him in the following shot. (00:33:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: As Vers is about to punch the person dressed like the Skrull, a woman in a flowery pantsuit is visible in the background, behind him. Next shot and she is walking behind Vers making a rather conspicuous horrified facepalm, and coming from the wrong direction. (00:33:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Vers gives the stinkeye to the biker guy who complimented her suit by folding a corner of the Los Angeles map. It's folded differently in the two shots: in the first there's a portion at least twice as wide that comes down with her hand, while in the second it's just the corner, the rest being almost straight. (00:35:35)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the doctor asks Fury "How's your eye?" he turns towards him twice in two separate shots. (00:36:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Vers 'proves' to Fury she's not a Skrull by photon blast usage, Brie Larson's hand is either under her chin or on the table; it makes no difference for the reverse shots that stay always the same. (00:41:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Fury pets Goose when he first meets it; his right hand has a habit of being in inconsistent positions between shots (Goose paws his hand down but it's still up after the cut; Vers calls him by name and in the close-up he has both hands on the furry neck of the critter, only to be shown with the right hand down at the cut). (00:45:48)

Sammo

Captain Marvel mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the fight between Fury and Director Keller in the archive, an object (a suitcase or a folder?) suddenly appears mid-fight, either in upright or horizontal position. (00:52:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Keller has the upper hand on Fury in the fight, he slams him on the ground. When Vers blasts Keller backwards, Fury's head is closer to the 32 on the floor than it was when he was lying down stunned. (00:52:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After Danvers heats the kettle with her hand she sits and speaks with Rambeau, the window shades change in the last shot. Most noticeable is the pulls change positions. (01:00:30)

jimba

Continuity mistake: Monica is showing Carol some photos from the past. The first one is a Halloween one; you can see in the wide shot how her two hands move together on the corner of the picture, but in the close-up she is holding it on both opposite sides. (01:01:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Talos appears in Rambeau's house he gets scared after seeing the cat, which then sits down facing Danvers about a foot to the right of Talos' boots. A second later, Danvers reaches down about six feet in front of Talos and picks up the cat which is now facing Talos. There wasn't enough time for the cat to have moved from a sitting position to the new location, let alone turned around. (01:05:00)

jimba

Continuity mistake: When Maria says "It's just basic physics" and takes a sip, her grip on the glass is different than in the following shot. (01:15:05)

Sammo

Factual error: When Minerva mistakenly picks up a NERF gun to shoot Carol, the blaster she picks up is a Sharpshooter II, released in 1995. The occupants of the station were supposed to have been stranded there for six years and could not logically have obtained this item.

Suggested correction: We do not know that they were stranded on the station. They would have had to eat after Mar-Vell's sudden death. She could have had contingency plans in place to help them survive or others could have helped.

Carol Danvers: Did you have a rough day, Agent Fury?
Nick Fury: It was cool, you know? Had a space invasion, big car chase. Got to watch an alien autopsy. Typical 9-to-5.
Carol Danvers: So you saw one?
Nick Fury: I was never one to believe in aliens, but I can't unsee that.

Trivia: In the Blockbuster, Danvers blasts a standee of True Lies. The directors' first choice of standee was actually The Mask (which makes sense, being a green-skinned character who she'd rightly think was a Skrull and attack), but New Line Cinema refused to allow it.
