Character mistake: During one of the shark scares at the beach, Chief Brody is running along the shoreline telling everyone to get out of the water. There are several frames where the Chief and a man with a moustache are at the water's edge. If you look closely you will notice that the man is smiling and laughing and other people laugh as well.

Gravity (2013)
Continuity mistake: After the rope keeping Ryan and Matt tethered together is snapped, Ryan continues drifting downwards towards the Earth. The shot continues panning until the camera stops with the camera high up. As she falls, the ropes from the parachute around the satellite are on Ryan's right. In the next shot from low down, the ropes from the parachute have moved to Ryan's left. She was only shown spiralling downwards throughout the shot, so her position next to the ropes would not have been affected. (00:30:25)

Trivia: After Tony blows off Bucky's arm, Cap picks up his shield and shields himself from Tony's blasts. At the very end of the shot, Tony is firing a beam at Cap which lands on Cap's shield and the shot begins to slow down. This moment from the shot is an homage to the cover from part 7 of the Marvel Civil War comic storyline, where Captain America and Iron Man are fighting on the front cover in the same way. (02:07:00)

Land of Black Gold: Part 1 - S2-E10
Revealing mistake: Mueller hops off his horse and tells Tintin (as Amed) to hold the horse and tells him he will be back in a moment. Throughout the entirety of this shot, the colour of the blanket on Mueller's horse constantly flickers between several frames. As Mueller gets off the horse, the blanket is dark teal, then Mueller hands the rein to his horse to Tintin and the blanket suddenly flickers to dark orange and also dark teal near the bottom. Tintin jumps off the horse and the blanket suddenly flickers back to dark teal again. (00:13:25)

The Adventures of Tintin (1991)
Red Rackham's Treasure - S1-E5
Other mistake: Professor Calculus brings the parts for two shark submarines (he stated in the scene prior he would bring two) to the docks in two separate crates. The crates he uses to hold the submarine parts in would not big enough to hold the entirety of the submarine. The crates shown are only a couple of feet wide and even smaller in height, but the shark submarines shown in the episode are much larger than the overall size of the crate. (00:06:50)

A further two shots after, the last marked point is suddenly back to where it was. (00:02:05)
