In Time (2011)

Continuity mistake: When Will and Sylvia are dancing at the party, the camera is in the centre of the room, panning left as it follows them. At one point, a guitar player comes into view. The camera angle changes very slightly, and he is no longer there.

In Time (2011)

Continuity mistake: When Will leaves Dayton for the first time, the car leaves Zone 12. Later it goes through Zone 8, and eventually arrives at Zone 4 (New Greenwich). But when the authorities are first checking the security footage of Will on the bridge, they have a Time Zone map on the wall, and Zone 12 and 4 are next to each other, with Zone 8 in a different direction.

Suggested correction: Yes they are next to each other but there is no direct link from 12 to 4. You would have to go 12 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 5 - 4. Which is the only route you can take that includes zone 8. This is silly as there are quicker routes such as 12 - 7 - 5 - 4.

The Deep (2010)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In episode 3 or 4, one of the characters is knocked out and lying on the floor in the Russian sub. He is on the 'left' side of the shot most times he is shown, but occasionally he's on the right.

Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Crichton talks to Harvey (Scorpius in his head) about the Wormhole Weapon engineering project, one of the women in the scene leans on the hood of the car, with her glasses in her hand, chewing on the left arm of the glasses (the right arm is folded). The camera angle changes, and the arms are switched. The camera angle changes back, and the arms are switched back. (01:43:50)

Atlantic Rim (2013)

Continuity mistake: As the movie ends, the heroes walk from the trashed red robot towards the ambulance & trucks, and the woman sitting in the ambulance has a blanket over her shoulders, then there's no blanket, then it's on her knees, then her shoulders, then it's gone...

Bones (2005)

The Crank in the Shaft - S4-E6

Continuity mistake: Bones walks onto the lab platform - first, there's no beep from the card reader, and second, she comes up on the wrong side of the steps, where there is no card reader anyway. The mistake is that the production team seems to have completely forgotten about the requirement for card access to that platform. They've had card access required since Season 1; anytime someone doesn't swipe their card, alarms go off. (00:26:00)

Bones (2005)

The Knight on the Grid - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Bones is dragged from the taxi after the explosion, she finds a tooth lodged in her arm (from bomb shrapnel). But she was pulled down for safety by Booth just before it went off, and was not exposed to the shrapnel - she was protected by the car door, and nothing was in a direct line to her. Added to that is the fact that her LEFT arm was hit - the arm that would have been on the 'inside/centre' of the front seat (the bomb went off on the right side of the car), and on which she was most likely lying - completely protecting that part of her body. (00:25:40)

Bones (2005)

Continuity mistake: When Ellie & Fiona are breaking into the garage to steal the gas tanker truck, Fiona's hands are by her side. The camera angle changes, and her right hand is up, holding her rifle strap.

Bones (2005)

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The person responsible for background shots while anyone is in a car driving, is grossly negligent in their continuity. Very rarely do Bones & Booth drive down a street without the background changing rapidly from urban to rural streets, and back. In a Season 1 episode, they're driving through a flat desert, with nothing in the background except scrub - and then suddenly, a mountain appears in the middle of the shot.

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Leo's son throws his watch against the wall, it breaks into several pieces, which bounce off a surface just below the camera frame (it's an odd look, but could be a table or the floor, as we don't see where on the wall the watch impacted) - then they fly off to the right. But in the next shot, most of the watch's pieces are falling to the floor, directly down, and in a group (the prop man simply held out his hand and dropped them into frame). (00:37:40)

The Box (2009)

Continuity mistake: When the kid & babysitter go down to the basement, she enters the stairs first. The shot changes, and now the boy is in front of her. (00:46:00)

Continuity mistake: When Kwon is first shot, he's hit in the left shoulder, near the clavicle. When Bobo's daughter is cleaning his wound, it's not clear exactly where the wound is, but later, the bandage is over his left pectoral, several inches lower than where the bullet hit him.

Sliders (1995)

Common Ground - S4-E3

Continuity mistake: When the Kromagg sub-commander captures Quinn in the kitchen area, Quinn is leaning back, away from the knife. The sub-commander is a good 8-12 inches shorter than Quinn. The camera angle changes, and now the sub-commander is about 6 inches taller than Quinn.

Sliders (1995)

Prophets And Loss - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: When the Sliders see their first bunch of Welcomers get zapped, there is a short blonde woman in that group. We know later in the episode that these people are being burned to ashes; so she is now dead. In the final scene of the episode, that woman is in the audience.
