Visible crew/equipment: When the Gatekeeper opens the gates, a stage light is reflected on the column on the left. It wasn't there in the previous wide angle when the group arrived.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Visible crew/equipment: After the snowstorm, the group sets off to see the Wizard. When they're way ahead, there's a huge rectangular moving shadow cast over the yellow brick road. Seemingly a camera or crane of some sort.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Revealing mistake: When the Munchkins say goodbye to Dorothy while singing "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," the lower part of the screen is an absolute mess: footage of Munchkins superimposes with other footage of Munchkins, creating a blurry havoc, plus the matte painted flowers, hut, and people clip through the real actors.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Continuity mistake: When the group is in the toy car, they freak out when they see a bulldozer running down a ramp about to crash against them. The problem is, all the front shots of them show that they left the ramp behind and the bulldozer had already crossed the track.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Continuity mistake: Wayne climbs inside the Hi fi system and steps on the left side of the aluminium foil. A shot later, he is on the far right side, not stepping on it. The way the foil folds also changes.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Revealing mistake: While Patti and Diane talk next to the spider, in the close-up shot, the web becomes a thick white rope that has nothing to do with what we see in the wide angles.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Revealing mistake: When Diane and Patti chat next to the spider, Patti stretches out her arm to move the (blue-screened) spider web away, but she is missing the spot by two metres.
Suggested correction: No, Patti is not meant to be moving the spider web away in that shot; she is simply reaching for the web so she can cut it with the nail file and free the daddy longlegs. Then, the shot changes before we see her touch it. After two shots of Patti off-screen, we then see her cutting the web. Plus, that screenshot does not convey the "problem."

Continuity mistake: When Jenny holds the magnifying glass, her hand and Mitch's disappear in the close-up. (01:07:49)

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Revealing mistake: When the boys take the laundry basket upstairs, there's a shot from in front, and one can see none of the four family members is inside. The filmmakers didn't even bother to place toy figures inside.

Cleopatra (1963)
Continuity mistake: When Mark Antony is crowned emperor, there is a man perpendicular to him, inches away, holding a cushion. A shot later, he is half a metre behind, yet now he stands parallel to Mark Antony. The shot changes, and he is back in the previous position.

Cleopatra (1963)
Continuity mistake: Mark Antony walks in the site where Cleopatra's tomb is being built. He wears a soldier's uniform and she a red gown, purple robe and a short wig. She walks five steps forward and suddenly they're in a completely different place: both in her bedroom, she wearing now a dreadlock wig, white dress and transparent robe, while he is resting on a couch dressed in red civilian clothes. She walks offscreen and a shot later she has yet another wig, another dress, different belt and black robe.
Suggested correction: It creatively shows how long their ongoing passionate argument continues through the day, with changes in the time of day, location, and attire; done with three separate, consecutive scenes, signifying time jump transitions. First, it's daytime when Mark Antony joins Cleopatra at her tomb's construction; they argue, and she walks away. With the next transition, it's later in the day; they still argue in a different location and attire, then she walks away. The last transition is another jump in time; it's evening, with Cleopatra now in her nighttime attire, as their argument has been going strong all day.

Murder, She Wrote (1984)
Revealing mistake: When Jessica visits the basement, there's plenty of light everywhere. She then turns off the light, but there's still plenty of light. However, when Adam Frobisher shows up half a second later, the whole place is now in darkness to allow for all the mystery and the intrigue.

Murder, She Wrote (1984)
Visible crew/equipment: When Harry and Amos analyse the bathroom, the edge of the set wall is visible on the right side of the screen.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Continuity mistake: Inside Nadeem's secret room, Lucky touches the horns on the wall with her left hand. In the immediate wide angle, she's using her right hand instead.
21st Jan 2025
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Continuity mistake: When Manhattan is freezing, Phoebe and Callie are in the car and Phoebe's glasses rest on the lower end of her nose, close to the tip. A shot later, they've moved upwards.
21st Jan 2025
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Continuity mistake: When Trevor and Lucky go up to the rooftop before the final battle, they lean over and rest their hands on the middle of a tile. From the opposite angle, they're resting on the section dividing two tiles.
21st Jan 2025
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Continuity mistake: When Manhattan freezes, the group meets at the HQ and Janine raises her right arm towards her chest and throat. An instant cut later, it's now her left arm raised instead.
20th Jan 2025
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Continuity mistake: While chasing the dragon, a laser beam destroys a Brooklyn Bridge road sign, and the car drives past it. An immediate aerial angle shows the sign on the road, but the car is suddenly metres behind, driving towards it.

Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves (1997)
Continuity mistake: While the group hides from the cockroach, they check to see where she is, and the previous turds they found next to the wall have suddenly vanished.
