Revealing mistake: When Legion places the hard light in Rimmer's light bee, it is noticeable that the hard light does not go inside the device. It is placed more to the area beside it. (00:09:55)

Continuity mistake: When Lister finishes pouring a glass of Bucks Fizz, he begins to place the jug back on the table with his hand still on it, but in the next shot, the jug is now on the table with Lister's hand nowhere near it. (00:20:20)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Rimmer suggests bringing Legion with him, Lister says he's not going to come with them, and asks if he would ever join in on their late night sessions of pin the pointy stick on the weather girl. At The End of the line, Lister is looking to the right, but in the next shot, he is suddenly looking downwards. (00:12:35)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Revealing mistake: When Lister hits Legion over the head, his mask falls off. In the shot that shows Rimmer, Cat and Kryten in the foreground sitting at the table and Lister and Legion in the background, Legion's face can be seen and it is apparent that it is not the combination of the four that is his face, but in fact the actor's real face. (00:21:15)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Legion puts his mask back on, just as he says "Kryten knows", the mask is not properly fixed on, leaving his chin exposed, but when the camera is on him next, the mask is suddenly fixed into place. (00:21:35)

Gunmen of the Apocalypse - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: When Lister tells Rimmer that the escape pod is not an option, Lister is looking at Rimmer, but in the next shot, he is looking down at Kryten. (00:12:20)

Emohawk - Polymorph II - S6-E4
Stupidity: On the walk back to Starbug, the Emohawk jumps on Lister's head to disguise itself as Lister's hat, but it leaves itself in its natural form whilst the crew continue to walk. The Emohawk is supposed to be disguising itself to fool the crew into making them think it is any everyday object. The Emohawk eventually changes into Lister's hat, but leaving itself in its natural form even for just a small amount of time could blow its cover. (00:18:15)

[The Unspeakable One rises in front of Rimmer]
Rimmer: Boy, am I glad to see you. You must be the Unspeakable One. Just to fill you in, there's been a gigantic administrative cock-up. Some of your staff have somehow mistaken me for a virgin.
Unspeakable One: Stop your putrid whining, you dank gift of rectal public hair.
Rimmer: Sorry. Yes, I do tend to jabber on when I'm a bit nervous.

Terrorform - S5-E3
[Rimmer has been chained up]
Rimmer: Is this the British Embassy? Does it even look the remotest bit like the British Embassy? I want to know who you are, what I'm doing here, and I want to know now.
Hooded Guard: In accordance with the appetites of the Dark One, the vicious ruler of this domain, we, the holy legions, proffer up this sacrifice to slake the vile depraved thirsting of the Unspeakable One.
Rimmer: Well, that's cleared that up.

Terrorform - S5-E3
[Rimmer is being taken by a group of hooded guards on a cross]
Rimmer: Look, I don't know who you are, or what you think you're doing, but I demand my right to a phone call.
[The guards stop]
Rimmer: Yes, I thought that'd stop you. I thought the threat of legal action would have you running for cover.
[Rimmer is now being dragged by the guards]
Rimmer: Look, I'm trying to keep my temper, but you really are pushing your luck now miladdikins.

Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Lister is explaining the ending of the movie, he says "It's about a dude who sacrifices his life for love" whilst Rimmer looks at him, but in the next shot, Rimmer is suddenly looking forwards before turning back to Lister saying "as if." (00:02:55)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Kryten tells Rimmer he doesn't have the brain that can accept an implant, he says "No" and begins walking around the table. Kryten has his hands raised with his right hand slightly lower than the left, but in the next shot, both hands are suddenly level with each other. (00:22:05)

Terrorform - S5-E3
Continuity mistake: When Kryten cuts off his hand, all of the fingers on the hand are straight and level with each other, but when he goes to attach his eye to one of the fingers, the middle finger is suddenly raised. (00:02:35)

Red Dwarf (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Starbug bursts out of Red Dwarf, the shot from behind shows Starbug spinning in circles, but the shot from in front shows Starbug flying normally. (00:04:00)

Quarantine - S5-E4
Audio problem: When Rimmer is talking to Lister, Cat and Kryten in the dress, the Cat says "We thought you'd gone nuts" and the shot cuts to Rimmer where the Cat then says "We were trying to heal you." When the shot is on Rimmer, the Cat's reflection can be seen in the mirror and his mouth doesn't move with the line. (00:21:05)

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Continuity mistake: When K arrives at Dr. Stelline's facility with Deckard, his left ear is visibly mangled and injured. At no other point in the movie or in any prior scene, did his ear have this damage done to it. It just appears in this scene out of nowhere. (02:29:10)

Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Continuity mistake: When K frees Deckard from his restraints after drowning Luv, K pulls Deckard out of the water with his right hand, grabbing onto Deckard's shoulder. In the next shot, K suddenly has his right hand on the ceiling of the car. (02:25:45)

Revealing mistake: With the Matter Paddle, Kryten transports into the sleeping quarters, and then transports onto the bunk. When Kryten transports onto the bunk, the Cat's position on his chair visibly alters on screen, showing where the scene was edited to make Kryten appear as if he transporting. (00:03:15)
