Continuity mistake: Michelle ends the phonecall in her car at 6:27pm. When she regains consciousness in the bunker it's 6:29pm. Either she was retrieved from her crashed car, taken to the bunker, chained up and hooked to an IV in 2 minutes (impossible), or she's been unconscious for exactly 24 hours, which would be a sign of a serious brain injury (with no other symptoms). Either way something's not right.

Spotlight (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Rachel McAdams is interviewing Joe in the coffee shop, she starts off with a couple of lines written on her notepad, then half a page, then back to a few lines, then a full page, etc. It changes in almost every shot. (00:38:40)

Daddy's Home (2015)

Continuity mistake: When Will Ferrell comes home to find the tree house built, Mark Wahlberg crashes into him from the zipline, knocking him to the floor. He gets up with his jacket half off his right shoulder, where it stays throughout the scene until he corrects it, except for one shot partway through the conversation where his jacket is on properly.

Criminal Minds (2005)

Run - S7-E24

Continuity mistake: The clock on the bomb's secondary timer doesn't match with reality while Prentiss is trying to defuse it - going from 15 seconds to 10 too slowly, then skipping the final few seconds so it can end on 1 second remaining.

Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp mistake picture

Episode #1.8 - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Towards the end, as everyone's gathering outside, Ken Marino has his hand in the front pocket of his shorts. The shot switches to a view from behind, and it's in his back pocket. Back to the front, and it's back where it was before. (00:22:10)

Jon Sandys

Continuity mistake: The timer towards the end doesn't match up with the elapsed time, despite being a continuous sequence. It runs fast soon after it's started, then in the final seconds the audible beeps (one per second) are mismatched with the count.

Stretch (2014)

Continuity mistake: While Jack is chasing Cathy's kidnap vehicle, we see the two GPS markers on a map, on a straight road, with no turns needed for Jack to catch up. Next shot shows Jack tearing round a corner at high speed. He's then told of a hard left coming up, which the map shows - a hard left followed by another long straight. He takes the hard left, then immediately takes a right turn that not only doesn't exist on the map, takes him away from the direction Cathy is going. (01:17:50)

Continuity mistake: When Jimmy is talking outside the courthouse, pretending to be his secretary, he puts his case on his car roof. In the first shot the white aerial is visible in front of his case.

Kingsman: The Secret Service mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Eggsy is in the interview room at the police station, in a wide shot the tape recorder is on the table by itself, with nothing around it. Eggsy demands a phonecall, the police officer leaves, and Eggsy then reaches beside the recorder and picks up a cordless phone which has appeared from nowhere. (00:16:45)

Jon Sandys

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, as Harry gently takes the snowglobe from Eggsy, in the shot of Eggsy the snow is relatively calm, then in the immediate reverse angle as Harry looks at it, the snow is instantly shaken up.
