Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film where Metro Man is addressing Metro City, he asks them if they know what the greatest honour they have given him is. When he asks this he is standing at the edge of a pond. But once he tells them what it is, he is suddenly standing in the middle of the pond.

Megamind (2010)
Suggested correction: If you look at the clip, you do see him at the edge of a pond, however, you also see him walking towards the middle, so it's reasonable that he walked that far that fast.

Alien 3 (1992)
Continuity mistake: Any shot of the alien which isn't made using a guy in a suit has a green glow around the alien's body but any guy-in-a-suit shots do NOT have a green glow.

Underworld: Evolution (2006)
Continuity mistake: After Marcus kills Kraven, we cut back to Selene and Michael. As he talks about her saving his life and that how everything has changed, part of Selene's fringe switches from hanging in front of her face to tucked to the side between shots. In the closeup shots it hangs in front of her face and in the wide shots it is tucked to the side.

Continuity mistake: Right before the morphing shot of Michael's apartment building number, 510, we see Kraven enter and then leave the room through some double doors. As he enters, one of the doors is fully open and the other is half open. When he leaves they are both fully open.

Aliens (1986)
Continuity mistake: As the marines first enter the med labs, Drake at the front, there are some neon tubes hanging from the ceiling that slowly rotate to face the camera. As the angle changes and Drake goes round a corner, the neon tubes rotate to face where the camera previously was again in the background.

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Perkins tells Gru to get their money back, he crushes an apple in his hand and drops the remains onto the floor. When the angle changes, the remains of the apple have disappeared.

Inside Man (2006)
Continuity mistake: As Dalton stands inside the bank vault staring at the cash, the scene jumps from a wide, distant shot, to medium, to close-in, just outside the cage. Another robber stands just outside and between jumps his gun position shifts from relaxed to raised to relaxed again.
Suggested correction: Whilst this is true, I don't think it is a continuity mistake. It looks to me like it is intended to suggest the passage of time between each of the three shots.
29th Dec 2010
Alien (1979)
Continuity mistake: In the shot of the alien's tail wrapping around the back of Lambert's legs right before it kills her, the floor is different to what it was before, there is water suddenly falling from the ceiling when there wasn't before and her trousers have changed from white to blue. This is because that shot was originally intended to be used when Brett was killed.
