Continuity mistake: As Tracy holds the gun on Bond, as she walks toward the camera she lifts the gun closer to her face, so that it is pointed up. The camera shifts back to Bond and the gun is suddenly pointed at him again. (00:16:30)

Continuity mistake: When Tracy and Bond are talking in the casino, and Bond tells her to stay on 5, she has her left hand resting against her chin. As she says "people who want to stay alive play it safe" she moves her hand down to the table, but then when the camera cuts back to Bond the reverse shot of her shows her hand still by her chin, and then she moves it down again.

Ben-Hur (1959)

Continuity mistake: In the parade of chariots before the race, the riders are shown circling the track once before making their way to the starting line. As they emerge from the stables, the horses and chariots leave very noticeable tracks on the ground so you can trace their progress around the track. The riders head down the right side of the track (from the perspective of the stables) then make the wide turn to head down the backstretch, and then make the wide turn back onto the right side of the track where they started. The film then cuts to a wide shot of the riders heading back down the right side of the track for the second time, but the track ahead of them and all the way down the backstretch is now clean of any tracks. It's clear this shot comes from when the riders first emerged from the stables. The riders then stop on the starting line on the backstretch, which means they were either transported to the other side of the track without making a third turn, or they did 1 lap around the track in the space of 1 and a half laps.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon mistake picture

Continuity mistake: The shot of the Apollo 11 capsule approaching the moon is missing the lunar module, which is then seen attached to the craft in the next shot.

Continuity mistake: In the original X-Men movie, Professor X wonders why he can't read Magneto's thoughts, only to learn that Magneto has his special helmet. First Class contradicts this by establishing that Xavier knew about the helmet in 1962.

Toy Story 2 (1999)

Toy Story 2 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: With upgrades in animation the house Andy's family moved to at the end of the first film has undergone some slight changes. The house is still the same general shape, red in color and with the doors and windows in the same place. But the Toy Story 2 version gained an arch above the front door. Also, in the first movie the house was in front of some large pine trees, there was a straight path from the door to the street, and there was a wooden fence in the front yard. In Toy Story 2 the fence is gone, the path from the front door bends toward the driveway, and the pine trees behind the house are replaced by generic types of trees. The house also is much more detailed (as is most of the animation compared to the first movie), allowing the shading of the brick pattern to come in. (00:10:25)

Major League (1989)

Continuity mistake: In the top of the ninth, Harris is working on a 7 hitter and gives up a double, but the inning ends after a walk and strikeout. Thus the Yankees should have 8 hits heading into the bottom of the 9th. Yet the scoreboard when Duke comes in shows the Yankees with 9 hits. This means they picked up a hit in between the half-inning, which is impossible. And the scorekeeper couldn't have changed an error from earlier in the game to a hit because the scoreboard never listed an error had been made. (01:27:20 - 01:33:30)

Major League II (1994)

Continuity mistake: After the Indians brawl with each other, in the second game of the double header Rube, though he has a sprained ankle, manages to get an infield hit by diving headfirst into first base, which dirties his uniform. He is then replaced by Hayes as a pinch hitter. In subsequent shots of Rube in the dugout watching Hayes steal 3 bases, Rube's uniform is completely clean.

Apollo 13 (1995)

Continuity mistake: When Lovell and Haise discuss their families and Haise's illness, Lovell grabs a picture of Mary from the air and comments on, while Haise is seen putting a green letter back into its envelope. It cuts to show a close-up of Haise's hands pulling the letter and the photo from the envelope as if he just opened it (which would have happened moments earlier).

Apollo 13 (1995)

Continuity mistake: Just before Gene Kranz draws a circle on the chalkboard to indicate the Earth, the erased circles from previous takes can be seen. He then draws a hasty, sloppy unclosed circle, but subsequent shots a few seconds later show a neater, closed circle. (01:07:30)
