Continuity mistake: Indy horseback rides past a truck with a flag, then between a dozen of musicians while chased by a motorbike. When he looks behind him, the band has vanished and the truck is next to him again. This last shot belonged in the first place.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Factual error: The crown on the logo of the Air Maroc plane is the modern 2013 version, not the one from 1969 when the movie is set.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Continuity mistake: While on the boat, Helena does her 7 spades card trick. When she gives Indy a turn, you can see the bottom card is a black 2. When she fans them out, it changes to black king of clubs. Then, in the next shot, it changes to 8 of clubs. (01:16:00 - 01:17:00)
Suggested correction: Not necessarily a mistake. She could be changing those cards by sleight of hand, while moving the 7 of spades into position for the final force. The mistake was not using the 3 of clubs for it.

Continuity mistake: When David arrives to save Caroline who's hanging off the broken bridge railing, in the wide angles her feet are dangling and her arms are stretched, while she is struggling for her life. However when David looks at her, her arms and legs are bent and she seems to be safely sitting. Seemingly some sort of safety chair.

Avalanche (1978)
Continuity mistake: The editing of the ski jumping competition is a disaster movie in itself: first we see #35 jumping and wearing a helmet while wearing a red and blue suit. Then comes #6, who starts to ski wearing a helmet and a marine blue suit, but when he jumps it's skier #35 again but now his helmet is gone. Now comes a new skier, #26, wearing a dark blue suit. When he picks up speed he is suddenly no-helmet #35 and -drumroll - when he jumps he's now yet a new skier, #27.

Avalanche (1978)
Deliberate mistake: When the father jumps on the firemen's jumping sheet, one can see that he's very few centimetres away from safely landing on it. However, in the immediate close-up he crashes against the floor, which is more dramatic, but ludicrous nonetheless.

Avalanche (1978)
Revealing mistake: When Caroline (Mia Farrow) is hanging off the broken bridge railing, in the wide angles she is replaced by an obvious stunt.

Revealing mistake: After the birthday dinner and dance, the exterior shots of snow falling show the snow being sprayed from a lower point on the right side of the screen. Shot changes and now it's being sprayed from somewhere behind the bleachers.
