An Elephant Sitting Still (2018)
Revealing mistake: When Ling takes out her phone in the hotel bedroom, the time on the phone is 11:03. Given that daylight can be seen, the time must be 11:03am, but by this point in the story, it should be afternoon at the very least. Clearly, the scene must have been filmed in the morning. (02:15:40)

An Elephant Sitting Still (2018)
Continuity mistake: Ling walks outside the cafe after Bu puts the note on the window. When the scene is shown from Cheng's POV, she stands still after walking outside, then walks a few steps to take the note off the window. When the scene is shown again from her POV, she is a lot further away from the window than earlier and has to walk a larger distance to reach the window. (01:54:20 - 02:03:05)

An Elephant Sitting Still (2018)
Revealing mistake: After Jin beats up the two thugs with the pool cue, it cuts to Cheng walking down the street and on the phone. After getting off the phone, he continues walking, and some of the background extras can be seen looking at the camera as they walk past. (01:49:10)

An Elephant Sitting Still (2018)
Revealing mistake: When Jin and Bu are confronted by the dog owner, Bu is standing on the right side of the frame. Then suddenly, Bu ducks down in front of the camera and repositions himself on the left side of the frame. Presumably, the actor was standing on the wrong side of the frame and had to reposition himself and ducked down because he didn't want to get in the way of the camera but unintentionally got caught doing so. (01:26:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When the dog owner gets out of his car to confront Jin, a boom mic can be seen reflected on the car window. (01:26:20)
4th Feb 2024
An Elephant Sitting Still (2018)
Revealing mistake: When Bu is packing up his things in his bedroom, the camera appears to sway abruptly from side to side two or three times during the scene, almost as if the cameraman couldn't keep the camera steady. (00:57:25 - 00:57:50)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: Just after Richard gets off the phone with Roberto, the back of his hair is sticking up. When the shot cuts, his hair is pressed down. This may be hard to see when the camera is in front of him, but it is more noticeable when he stands up and we see the back of his head. (01:30:05 - 01:30:45)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Richard starts chasing Jen through the hallway after realising she noticed his trail of blood, there is a shot where we can see the shotgun wound on the left-hand side of Richard's stomach. A couple seconds later, the wound is now on the right side of his stomach. (01:39:27)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Jen is watching Stan drive across the desert with the binoculars, the position of the strap attached to the binoculars changes between shots. (01:13:05)
20th Jan 2024

Continuity mistake: When Richard drives away from Stan to search the mountains, the map that they were looking at is unfolded. Stan then picks up the map and it is folded. (01:11:55)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Stan is holding onto his foot after slashing it with a shard of glass, there is one shot where his thumb is against the side of his foot, but in a close-up of the foot, his thumb is pressed directly on his foot. (01:21:00)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: After discussing which areas of the desert they are going to search, the map on the hood of the SUV is still. Richard then walks over to his motorcycle, but when the shot cuts back to Stan, the map is suddenly blowing in the wind. (01:11:45)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: After Jen has left the cave, there is a shot of the camera panning around her body, panning from her feet to her head. At the end of this shot, there is no hair over the front of her face. When the shot cuts, there are a few strands of hair over the front of her face. (01:09:10)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Jen opens the locket to get the peyote, in the close-up shot of the locket opening, the peyote falls out while still holding onto the locket. In the next shot, she isn't holding onto the locket. (00:52:05)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Stan gets out of the lake after finding Dimitri's body, his vest and trousers are drenched in water. In the next shot, when he is running back to the SUV, his clothes are significantly less wet. (01:00:05)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Revealing mistake: When Dimitri pushes Jen to the ground after she tries to shoot him, in the shot after she lands on the ground, a pair of trousers can be seen on her legs. Jen is not supposed to be wearing trousers in this scene, so these are presumably protective trousers used for the stunt. (00:44:35)
20th Jan 2024
Revenge (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Jen is pointing the shotgun at Dimitri, there is a light from the four-wheeler cast on her face. In the shot of her pulling the trigger, the lighting is relatively dim. The shot then cuts to Dimitri, back when it cuts back to Jen, the lighting is a lot brighter. (00:44:30)
