Other mistake: When the truck goes through the checkpoint in the opening scene, it is sanistised and cleaned with a water spray. We can see that water is sprayed across the driver side window, and then the driver roles down the window to talk with a worker. Once he has left the checkpoint, he is shown driving down the road with the window roled up again, but the water that was sprayed on the window appears to resemble tiny droplets. The water would have been wiped away when the window was roled down, or at the very least would have been smeared across the window. No way would the water appear as droplets sprinkled over the window. (00:01:20 - 00:02:00)

Train to Busan (2016)

Continuity mistake: Just after the truck driver has drove past the quarantine checkpoint, his phone rings and attempts to reach for it. At first, he is sitting with his back against the seat and extends his arm to reach for the phone. A close-up shot of the phone is then shown where he continues to reach but gets no further. In the next shot, the man is then shown leaning his body out of his seat and forwards towards the phone even though he was sitting with his back against the seat when he began reaching and his hand was not seen moving any further toward the phone in the previous shot.

Other mistake: When the truck driver his the deer with his truck, he steps on the brakes and stops the truck instantly. Just after the truck is shown bumping up and down after hitting the deer, outside the window, we can see the driver travels a small distance until the truck stops, maybe three of four meters at most. When the man is getting out the truck, we can see the distance between the truck and deer is much further than what was shown between the time he hit the deer and when the truck stopped. (00:02:14)

Lolita (1962)

Deliberate mistake: When Humbert is walking through Quilty's mansion at the start of the movie, a bottle is placed near the top of a chair covered in a sheet, which is later revealed to be covering Quilty; the bottle is also shown to be placed on top of Quilty's head. This same scene is shown a second time at the end of the movie, but the bottle near the top of the chair cannot be seen. There is a second bottle on Quilty's lap that can be seen in both the two scenes, but the bottle on Quilty's head cannot be seen the second time around. The two scenes were likely filmed two seperate times. (00:02:50 - 02:32:18)

Lolita (1962)

Visible crew/equipment: When Humbert is asking Lolita who is the man he is looking for, just after she asks him if he remembers Doctor Zemph, Humbert asks if it was him, to which Lolita replies "Not exactly" before walking into the kitchen. Whilst Humbert is saying "I didn't come here to play guessing games" as Lolita walks to the kitchen, the shadow of a crew member, most likely a cameraman, can be seen cast on the side of the television. It cannot be Humbert's shadow as his shadow is cast on the couch and on the window behind him. (02:22:20)

The shadow of a boom mic can be seen passing over Humbert's head whilst he begins to lift his head up. (02:06:17)
