Continuity mistake: Near the start, just after the robber takes a hostage, Clint holds his gun up and moves his thumb onto the hammer. When it cuts to a reverse angle his thumb's back down, then he moves it up again a few shots later.

Continuity mistake: When Michael is talking to his cop brother at the birthday party, his brother folds his collar up to put his tie on, and the collar's folded over at the back of his neck. The angle changes while he fiddles with his tie using both hands, then when we return to the previous angle his collar's now fixed properly.

The Illusionist (2006)
Continuity mistake: At the start, in shots from the stage towards the audience, all of the fires are lit, but in a closer shot of the audience near the front of the stage, at least one of the fires is out. During the final illusion shown at the end, the same shot or at least very similar to the one used at the beginning shows the same mistake again. (01:28:25)

CSI: Miami (2002)
Revealing mistake: Season 4, episode 21: "Dead Air". At the start, when Horatio looks at the call details, it very clearly reads "no sim card inserted" at the top of the screen. Quite hard for the accidental recipient of the call to have a working phone without a sim card...
16th Nov 2006
Casino Royale (2006)
Continuity mistake: Near the start, when the Ugandan is thinking about the money, his hands are together in front of him. At first his fingertips are crossed, then in the next shot they're suddenly placed together.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006)
Continuity mistake: Bad idea having a countdown clock on Matt's wall - when he's asking Simon if he'd recognise the the pitcher, Danny confirms "the pitcher" as he comes through the door, and we see the timer count down from 30 to 29. In the next shot it cuts back to Matt talking and the counter's jumped back up to 34 seconds. In fact it jumps all over the place throughout that conversation.

Continuity mistake: When Teri Hatcher gets stopped by the cops, soon after her helmet gets taken off she blows a load of smoke in the guy's face. We cut to a shot from another angle, and this cloud of smoke has completely vanished.

Friends (1994)
The One The Morning After - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: In previous episodes we've seen that from the living room there's a short wall just inside Monica's bedroom (presumably to prevent a clear view inside, as her bedroom set isn't normally there). However in this episode when most of the gang are in her room, they're listening right by the door into the living room with nothing in the way. (00:11:25)
