Continuity mistake: During the credits Cruise buys an ice cream and walks to a table where there's a dish with a napkin inside. The paper stands out from both sides of the plate, yet from the opposite angle it just stands out from one side.

Knight & Day (2010)
Continuity mistake: When Indy removes Orellana's golden mask, the light changes abruptly from very shiny to obscure and mysterious.
Continuity mistake: Mutt points out at Orellana's mummy, whose shroud is tightened and neatly set. Indy walks towards it and the shot cuts to a closer angle where the shroud is now crappily set. Obviously there were previous shots of Indy opening it, and the shroud was later messily closed to repeat the shots.
Continuity mistake: During the quicksand scene, when Mutt is throwing a snake at Indy, Indy's left (our right) sleeve swaps from covered in sand to spotless between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Mutt and Indy enter the library, a chubby man in a suit holding a brown briefcase runs away, yet appears calmly walking half a second later from a different angle.

Continuity mistake: In Kris's room, when she and Jesse find out they dream of Freddy, a turquoise coloured blouse on the right disappears.
Continuity mistake: During the ant scene, the branch that Indy uses to knock out the Russian wasn't there in the first place, it magically appears between shots.
Continuity mistake: At the diner, Mutt places the photo on his hat, yet it swaps from standing out to tucked inside, between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Mutt meets Indy, Mutt has a train behind, yet the reflection of the glasses from Indy's wagon don't reflect it, instead showing a sky and trees.
Continuity mistake: When Mutt first shows up, he is riding his bike between two train wagons, or between a train and a railing next to the station. This changes back and forth with no logic at all.
Continuity mistake: After Mutt's bike knocks down the "Better red than dead" banner it falls sideways; yet when the chasing car arrives, the banner is magically up again, ready to fall horizontally on the car's windshield.
Continuity mistake: Mutt's bike passes by a group of strikers in the campus, and heads for the red banner. When the angle changes, a second group of strikers has suddenly appeared out of nowhere next to the banner.
Revealing mistake: When Indy and Mutt ride on the bike in the college gardens, there's a wide aerial angle that reveals that the distance to the red banner is very short, yet in every following angle they're repeating the same route over and over again (3 times at least) to make it look way longer and increase the suspense.
Audio problem: During the chase inside the campus, a car destroys some stone vases and a blonde woman cries in terror while running away, yet her mouth is not moving.
Continuity mistake: When Indy and Mutt's bike is about to exit the campus, a green car is passing by, which disappears in the immediate wide angle of the street.
Continuity mistake: When Mutt and Indy ride inside the arched door in the campus, a couple runs away, yet appears still there from the opposite angle.
Continuity mistake: When Indy and Mutt are about to enter the university, the guard is holding both gate doors almost closed. A frame later he's holding one completely opened.
Continuity mistake: When Mutt and Indy run away on the bike, there's a shiny red car parked behind. A mere frame later, a dusty greyish car has magically appeared parked next to it.
