Continuity mistake: On the plane, Carreidas is playing battleship with Haddock. Whilst he is saying "C4. D4. E4", he places his pen on the right hand side of the page, but when he crosses out E4 in the following shot, the pen is suddenly pointing near to the left hand side. (00:07:10)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Continuity mistake: After Snowy runs away, two gunmen grab ahold of Tintin, restraining him. As Tintin is yelling "Cowards! Murderers!", the gunman on the left is holding Tintin's upper arm with his right hand. The shot cuts to a closer angle of Tintin and there is no sign of the gunman's right hand. (00:11:00)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Tintin discovers that Rastapopoulos is on the island, Tintin's arm has been animated differently than his face. Tintin's arm appears visibly more tanned than his face is. (00:11:05)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Revealing mistake: When Carreidas tells Rastapopoulos that he is mad and Rastapopoulos replies "No, just well informed", Rastapopoulos begins to walk around Carreidas. As he is walking around Carreidas, the cigar in Rastapopoulos' mouth clips through the string in his monocle. (00:11:50)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Revealing mistake: After Rastapopoulos tells Tintin he should have stayed on Flight 714, he says all he wants is Carreidas' money. When he finishes the line, the cigar in his mouth literally flickers from the left side of his mouth, to the right side of his mouth without him moving it. (00:11:45)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Continuity mistake: When Tintin and the others are locked in the room, Tintin looks out the window, assuming he thought he heard Snowy. On the left hand side of the window is a plant. A few minutes later, Snowy arrives and the plant is still there, but when Tintin throws Snowy out the window telling him to wait, the plant has vanished. (00:13:55 - 00:16:20)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Continuity mistake: Captain Haddock places three strips of tape over Rastapopoulos', Carreidas' and Krollspell's mouths. The last piece of tape over Rastapopoulos' mouth is a strip that goes from the top of his left cheek down to the bottom of his right cheek. A few seconds later, as they leave the room and go outside, it goes from the top of his right cheek down to the bottom of his left cheek. (00:20:35)
5th Apr 2017
The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Character mistake: When Rastapopoulos and Carreidas are arguing, Haddock intervenes telling them to cut it out. Rastapopoulos and Carreidas attempt to kick each other but end up kicking Haddock's leg. The kick is shown to have hit Haddock around the back of his leg, but Haddock then grabs his knee in pain. (00:21:00)
5th Apr 2017
The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Continuity mistake: At the start, keep an eye on the tape strips over Carreidas' mouth. There is a vertical piece of tape directly over Carreidas' mouth, followed by another piece of tape from the top of his right cheek down to the bottom of his left cheek positioned at a sideways angle, followed by another piece of tape from the top of his left cheek down to the bottom of his right cheek also at a sideways angle. All three strips of tape are meeting with each other at a midway point by his mouth. However, when Haddock says "Come on" to Carreidas and Krollspell when they are under fire later on, the tape strips positioned sideways now meet each other at around Carreidas' left cheek area, further away from his mouth. (00:25:45 - 00:26:40)

Nine Lives (2016)
Continuity mistake: When David is explaining to Ian about the rival company being taller, he draws an antenna onto the window with a marker pen to explain how it is taller. When David looks at the window with the marker pen drawing of the antenna later in the movie, it is a different shape than before. (00:07:45 - 00:31:40)
3rd Apr 2017
Nine Lives (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Tom, as Mr. Fuzzypants, is spelling out his name in wool, the ball of wool is positioned in front of the name, in the center. About 30 seconds when he runs to pee in Madison's bag, the ball of wool is placed at the edge of the name. (00:36:00)
3rd Apr 2017
Nine Lives (2016)
Continuity mistake: When Rebecca is reading on her iPad and Tom, as Mr. Fuzzypants, reading the newspaper, there is a bowl of strawberries and blueberries on the table, positioned about a foot away from the newspaper. In the next shot, the bowl of strawberries and blueberries is suddenly much closer to the newspaper. (00:54:45)
3rd Apr 2017
Nine Lives (2016)
Character mistake: When Tom goes into cardiac arrest, the doctor uses the defibrillator paddles on him, but she uses them whilst the hospital gown is still on him. A defibrillator must be used on bare skin if the electricity is supposed to get through to his heart. (01:08:55)
3rd Apr 2017
Nine Lives (2016)
Other mistake: Two security guards at Firebrand are shown watching a video of Tom, as Mr. Fuzzypants, jumping across a doorway and Lara and Madison attempting to catch him that Nicole filmed. The problem is, the camera angle shows an angle in front of Lara, Madison and the cat and Nicole filmed the video from behind the cat. Nicole can even be seen filming in the background of the video. There is still no way this footage could have been filmed from this angle. (01:15:55)
3rd Apr 2017
Nine Lives (2016)
Deliberate mistake: When the two security guards inside Firebrand alert the other security about David being on the roof, a news reporter overhears, announces it and everyone looks up. The news channel then shows an above angle shot of David standing on the ledge within a second, but how did the news channel manage to start filming David standing on the roof that quickly or even manage to film from this angle? David going up onto the roof was entirely unplanned and within a few seconds of anyone realizing he was on the roof, there is suddenly a news helicopter from above filming the entire thing. It could not have been filmed from the ground because the news is filming an above angle shot and would have been too far away to film. This was probably done intentionally to increase the drama, but still makes little sense. (01:16:50)
3rd Apr 2017
Nine Lives (2016)
Deliberate mistake: After David jumps off the roof of the Firebrand building, it is discovered that he had been wearing a parachute, but this parachute was never visible on him at any point previously in the scene. Even when he was on the roof and after jumping, the parachute was nowhere to be seen. The parachute was too big to have gone unnoticed. It would have been visible whenever the shot was behind him and the straps would have been seen whenever the camera was in front of him. (01:17:30)
3rd Apr 2017
Nine Lives (2016)
Continuity mistake: When David and Tom, as Mr. Fuzzypants are free falling from the building roof, David and Tom are falling with the building facing behind them. They turn around to face each other and are now shown with their side facing the building, but when David deploys the parachute, he is suddenly back with the building facing behind him again.

Visible crew/equipment: At 12:17am, after the police car slows down and speeds back up in front of the Annex, Rone says "Oz? This is where we make our stand." Whilst Rone is talking, the camera is panning down on Oz who is keeping watch and the shadow of the camera can be seen cast on the top of the wall towards the left of shot. (01:27:35)

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
Visible crew/equipment: When the Annex is being invaded by the Tangos, one of the GRS team members is shown running across the courtyard whilst Oz, off-screen says "We got about 25-30 Tangos." About a second before the shot ends, the shadow of the camera can be seen cast on the wall of the building whilst the man is running and is then cast on a tree in the foreground of the shot. (01:32:05)
