Jewel of the Nile (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Ralph is riding on the camel chasing the train, in the wide angles (with an obvious stunt) his clothes flutter. In the close-ups, with a fake background, the clothes remain still.

Jewel of the Nile (1985)

Continuity mistake: The train is about to enter a tunnel and a "bump" is heard. We immediately discover it's Ralph crashed against the side of a tunnel. Problem is the camel has magically managed to face the opposite way and, what's even more magical, it's now been safely tied up by a big fat rope.

Jewel of the Nile (1985)

Continuity mistake: From the shots around, the well is not quite big, with its edges almost near Joan and Jack's feet, but on the aerial shots (where it's an obvious blue-screen) its size is humongous.

Continuity mistake: Ralph gets squashed by the donkey's butt near a dark, secluded stable, surrounded by stacks of hay. When he's rescued, the stacks are gone and the donkey's moved away from the place it was, but Ralph remains underneath him.

Continuity mistake: After Ralph crashes against the train tunnel, 1) his position changes from shot to shot, 2) the people arriving are close to him but in the next angle are far away, and 3) the camel is facing the people, but when it cuts to Ralph, the camel is facing him instead.

Continuity mistake: When Bond's car comes out of the water, the number of people on the beach keeps changing all the time: A couple on the shore next to the car appears and disappears and the crowd on the right side increases and decreases randomly.

Inception (2010)

Audio problem: In the dream-café Cobb talks to Ariadne right before telling her that it's all a dream, but from a side angle the mouth doesn't match the sound coming out, which obviously belongs to the front angles.
