Nightcrawler (2014)

Continuity mistake: After the scene at the petrol station where we see Louis' new car, there's a high shot of him pulling up to a traffic light, with a car on the right of the screen about to pull alongside him. We cut to a shot inside looking out of the left window, so we should see that other car come into view, but it just vanishes.

Continuity mistake: The second time Hugh Grant writes on the board (not "protagonist" - can't remember the word!) the writing changes between shots - most noticeably a C in the middle, which sometimes has a small loop at the top, sometimes not.

The Rewrite (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Hugh Grant writes "Protagonist" on the board, the writing changes depending on the shot, most noticeably the G - sometimes it looks a bit like a backwards question mark, other times it's so slanted it looks more like an S.
