Cop Car (2015)

Continuity mistake: Towards the back end of the film, the lady arrives in her car, parks it at the side of the road and she is shot a few minutes later. Her car is seen at the edge of the road behind the sheriff's car when the boy runs down the road after breaking out, but her car has vanished when he drives the cop car away 30 seconds later. Also in the same scene of driving away, the sheriff's car has moved well off the road too.

The Simpsons (1989)

Lisa the Simpson - S9-E17

Continuity mistake: When Lisa comes down the stairs prior to watching "When Buildings Collapse", the TV screen is near enough in the corner of the living room and can be seen from the stairs. When Lisa enters the living room, the TV has moved further into the room. Subsequent shots of the TV move it so far into the room that it would not have been possible to see it from the stairs at all in the first place.
