10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
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.

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)

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (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)
