Revealing mistake: At the end of the movie when Spinnaker is approaching Jack and Cathy, the wide shot shows the couple sitting further apart. When it jumps to the close view, she is much closer to Jack.

Kiss (aka A Prelude to a Kiss) - S1-E3

Dawson's Creek (1998)
Kiss (aka A Prelude to a Kiss) - S1-E3
Other mistake: After Dawson and Jen order "cokes" from Joey at the seaside restaurant, Joey pours their drinks into plastic red cups. She only pours several milliliters of cola into the cups, barely enough for one gulp. (00:29:50)
Suggested correction: Joey is upset that Jen and Dawson are going out in the first place. It's not surprising that in her frustration, she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing, or else purposefully short-changed them on coke out of spite.

Continuity mistake: When Adele is talking to Josh on the phone in the morning with Ann sitting in the car in the background, you can see that the car is no more than 10 feet away.

Titanic (1997)

Continuity mistake: When Rose leaves Jack's company to retrieve help, and goes to return with the axe, she stops at the stairway with the rising water and wedges the axe on the bars. The camera cuts to behind Rose to show her removing her outerwear, and the axe is still being held up by the bars but it's nice and straight, before and after this camera shot, the axe is propped in the bars crooked at an angle. (02:00:05)

Goldeneye (1995)
Continuity mistake: Opening sequence when Bond bungees off the dam, you see him lay down the bungee cord he uses; it appears to be no more than a couple of meters of cord. Seconds later, there is a shot of the dam itself, panning upwards from the bottom. The dam appears to be several hundred meters high. Not a chance that tiny cord is enough. (00:01:20)
2nd Jul 2003
Die Another Day (2002)
Continuity mistake: During the scene when Graves parachutes in for a publicity stunt, when he hits the ground and starts walking, a guard (guy in black suit with a headset) walks towards him and assists him by grabbing the parachute cords to pull it off of him. The camera angle changes to in front of graves, and the same guy is merely standing beside him while he removes the parachute belts himself. (00:51:14)
2nd Jul 2003
Die Another Day (2002)

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Bond sees Jinx emerging from the water, the angle cuts back and forth between the both of them. You can see that is some shots Bond's cigar is not lit; there is no smoke coming from it and also the "cherry" does not light up as he puffs it. In others it's lit properly. The length of the cigar and the height of the Mojito drink also change. (00:36:21)

Bring it On (2000)
Audio problem: During the flashback when Torrence is at the summer camp, she purposely drops the spirit stick on the ground as a dare. When it hits it makes the sound of wood hitting concrete, but it's really a soft object hitting carpet. [The spirit stick is not soft, and the floor at camp is probably little more than thin carpet over concrete. The first spirit stick shown is made of wood and the second one (that Missy gets) is made of plastic.] [You can see the stick bend and buckle. Obvious audio over-dubbing to highlight the moment.]
