Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Continuity mistake: In the abandoned railway station scene, when the heads on stakes appear, you can see in the first shot, Winston is wearing his hardhat after that there is a split-second shot and it disappears. In the very next shot it reappears. (00:59:51)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Continuity mistake: When the Judge states his sentence, from Stantz's POV of the front of the table the pink goo in the jar starts bubbling with a tag hanging on its right side. From a wider angle of the front of the table not only is the tag not visible, but the ghost trap next to it is different (check the number of dials and looks of the box), plus the trap is now slightly skewed as to how it was positioned before. (00:31:45)
Suggested correction: I believe the tag is visible at all times, at least the string of it (the tag itself in the wider angle from the defence's table is hidden by the jar itself). Not sure about the mentioned box, you mean the ghost trap? My impression is that the different angle accounts for a perceived different placement, but it's just my perception.

Ghostbusters (1984)
Visible crew/equipment: When Dana arrives at the Ghostbusters' office, a crew member can be seen moving behind the filing cabinets behind where Janine is sitting. It could be Venkman, but even after Venkman walks over to Dana, there's still a rogue hand there, showing us it wasn't Venkman and was a crew member. (00:22:10)

Pinocchio (1940)
Continuity mistake: When Jiminy shows us Geppetto's place, there's a toy soldier next to a camel. From the opposite angle the soldier is now a giraffe. Seconds later, after he warms himself up, he looks at the window and there're two giraffes on the left, while the toys on the right are totally different.

Pinocchio (1940)
Continuity mistake: When Jiminy warms himself up by the fireplace, he looks at the window. The glass design swaps between being one plain glass to being made of irregular parts. (00:04:17)

Notorious (1946)
Continuity mistake: Devlin walks in Huberman's place, and she is lying on the couch with a glass of milk right in front of her eyes. The angle of the camera is skewed to show her POV, but the glass of milk has vanished.
