Continuity mistake: When Healer Fords makes a laser incision on the back of Melanie's neck to place Wanderer's soul in it, Melanie's hair is not tucked in but just pushed down by the Healer's hand. Moments later when he brings Wanderer's soul and begins allowing her to enter Melanie, Melanie's hair is suddenly tucked under her head to be almost in front of her face. It wouldn't have been Healer Fords to move her hair, or he would have done it earlier when making the incision rather than just pushing down on her hair to get it out of the way.

Continuity mistake: To escape the Seekers, Melanie jumps through a window and falls several floors, hitting the ground below as she tries to kill herself. The close up of her landing shows she is on her side, with her left arm out in front of her, and her right arm is draped so that her right hand is resting on her left arm. Moments later when the Seekers come down, her right arm has moved and her hand no longer on her left arm. (00:02:30)

Audio problem: While Gerry is talking to the C.I.A. Agent, a side view of the agent's face is seen as he says "That's the man in Jerusalem you want to see." The movements of his mouth and cheek does not appear to match up to what he is saying at all. (00:43:55)

World War Z (2013)
Continuity mistake: When Gerry and his family are escaping the first wave of the zombies they encounter, they steal an RV and make a run for it. While trying to shake a zombie off the vehicle, Gerry smacks into a taxi, bending the bumper and busting out the headlights on the RV's left side. A little bit later in the film as they are traveling down a highway, they pull to the side of the road to try and find Rachel's spare inhaler, and the front of the RV is shown. The bumper is still bent, but the headlights are now fixed again. (00:10:25)

Continuity mistake: After the motorcycle cop knocks off his car's mirror, Gerry gets out to pick it up but doesn't shut his door fully, leaving it about half open.

Continuity mistake: Just before the motorcycle cop smacks their car's mirror off, Gerry says to Karin "You're not British anymore baby."

(00:06:05)
23rd Sep 2013
World War Z (2013)
Continuity mistake: While playing games in the car, at one point a white van can be seen out Karin's window. The shot cuts to the daughters in the back as Gerry asks if it "is kept in a pen all its life and harvested for meat?" then back to the wife, and suddenly the van has vanished and you can see a couple people out the widow. The shot change was not long enough for either vehicle to move enough. (00:05:30)
23rd Sep 2013
World War Z (2013)
Continuity mistake: In the car, before the first zombie attack seen in the film, the family's two daughters are in the back seat as they are playing a family game. The youngest one, Connie, leans over to whisper in Rachel's ear, and it is a profile shot of her face and arm, her neck and some of her chest visible. It cuts to a different angle as she is sitting up, and suddenly she has what appears to be a large stuffed bunny or mouse in her arms, with its ears covering a lot of her face that was not visible in the previous shot.

World War Z (2013)
Continuity mistake: Gerry is standing by his stove where he is cooking pancakes, looking to his right at the TV. Above the TV is a cabinet with a purple sticker on it. As his daughters and wife get up to leave the room, he is suddenly standing next to this cabinet. Then, only a split second later, as he says "Hey! Plates in the sink!" he is suddenly back in front of his stove, which is a few feet away. He moves to these spots instantaneously. (00:04:55)

World War Z (2013)
Question: Jerusalem is shown to be completely surrounded by hordes of zombies. Yet it's shown that a few parts are letting people in. Vehicles, buses, many people. How are these people getting in with the sheer mass of zombies at every corner of the wall?
Answer: It isn't shown as completely surrounded by zombies.

World War Z (2013)
Question: Is there any underlying significance to when they show zombie blood gets in Gerry's mouth, but he does not turn into a zombie?
Chosen answer: The significance of showing the blood drop on Gerry's tongue and him spitting it out was to back up the theory that the only way to become a zombie is to be bitten by one. After the blood touched his tongue he ran to the edge of the building and waited 12 seconds (the time it takes to become a zombie) before he stepped off the ledge. If he would have started to change he was going to attempt to jump off the roof before causing harm to his family.
Then how does the scientist at the WHO get infected from a blood sample?
You can't turn by ingesting, or getting the blood on you. It has to enter your bloodstream. The scientist cut his hand and got zombie blood into his bloodstream.
He stuck himself with an infected needle or a "sharps" tool coated with infected fluids, which cut him.
Blood tester is encased in glass. Dr. Testing did not pay attention. His hand was in the case while it was mixing. Glass broke, cut him, testing blood mixed with his.

The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Question: Before the first attack on Bruce, General Ross tells the men that he is suspected in the death of two Canadian hunters. Is this by any chance a reference to the Hulk Vs. Wolverine story that came out as an animated film the same year as this film?
Chosen answer: Possibly. More in line as a reference to the comic story rather the animated feature.

The Legend of Zelda (1989)
Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Once Zelda takes an apple out of the basket to take a bite, it cuts to a close up of her face just before she takes a bite. When she does, her eyebrows turn a lighter color, her eyelids are further down, her mouth is open less wide, her fingers change position on the apple, and the leaf and stem change shape on the apple. (00:01:00)

Kiss 'N Tell - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: The basket on the back of Zelda's horse has no fruit hanging out of it or visible when seen from the side. But when Zelda reaches back to grab an apple out of it, a close up of the top shows both a banana and the leaves of a pine apple sticking up out of the top. Yet these are not visible in the previous shot. (00:00:55)

Also her hair is fuller and the mane on the horse becomes more wavy. (00:00:55)
