Men in Black 3 (2012)

Continuity mistake: Jeffrey begins giving J a quick crash course on how to use the Time Jump device on top of the building. Just before he says "When you're moving fast enough" he pats J on the back, receiving an angry look from J. Jeff then puts his arms down as J begins slowly moving forward. The camera then cuts to a closer shot as he begins that line, and suddenly Jeff's arm is back on J's back, and J's arms are in a different position. (00:34:25)

Continuity mistake: As J pops his head up on the tall building, there are windows immediately behind on his right and left and both are closed. The camera pulls up and back to show the scale of the building, then cuts back down to J. Now suddenly the window on his right side is open, and the lamp in the room is on. The window also changes from closed to open a few times in this scene. (00:33:25)

Continuity mistake: When J is digging through files to try and find out what happened between Boris and K, O comes in and talks to him for a moment. As she is leaving, shots of J shows he is leaning back in his seat. But when O is shown, the glass wall she is by shows his reflection, leaning forward and slouching. (00:22:20)

Continuity mistake: When K tells J he's suspended after asking about Boris, they get into a brief confrontation about it. As K is storming away to take the car, leaving J back at Wu's without a ride, J's suit is still dirty, wet, and nasty from his fight with the alien fish. Moments later, J is seen going to MiB headquarters and now his suit is clean and in perfect order. (00:19:45)

Continuity mistake: After the incident at Wu's restaurant, J walks up to a crowd of people and says "Can I have everyone's attention please?" As he does, he holds up his neutralizer. Just before the cut, you see him raising his other hand and points at the device. It cuts to show the crowd, then back to J. Suddenly he is repeating this exact same motion, the footage repeated as he points to the neutralizer. (00:18:20)

Continuity mistake: Trying to crush the metal tray that J wedged in its mouth, the large alien fish breaks a tooth on the tray. J then picks up a couple of bottles of mustard and squirts its nostrils full. During that shot, the shape of the broken tooth has changed slightly, and the remaining piece is larger. (00:16:25)

Continuity mistake: Just before K says the line "I used to play a game with my dad..." at Wu's restaurant, he is looking straight forward. But as he begins saying that line, preceeding a sigh, the camera cuts to a different angle and suddenly he is looking to his right. (00:13:45)

Men in Black 3 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: As the hand creature busts the shackles off Boris' legs in Lunar Max, you can see the bottoms of his pants over his metal prison boots. There are only a few folds and wrinkles over his left foot, and the pants over right foot are hardly wrinkled at all, or affected as the creature climbs up his right leg. But only a couple of seconds later, we see another shot of Boris' feet as the creature breaks off the metal sleeve of his arm, and suddenly his pants legs are very wrinkled. Boris was standing perfectly still the entire time. Boris' legs are also suddenly closer together. (00:03:35)

Continuity mistake: After busting out of the cake and killing the two Lunar Max guards, Boris' hand creature goes to free him. It first blasts spikes at the shackles on his legs and busts them, then begins climbing up to work on Boris' arm piece. In the shot where his leg shackles come off, you see the spike the creature shoots at them stuck in the metal and hanging off to the side. But in the shot where his arm piece falls to the floor, these spikes have vanished from his leg shackles. (00:03:35)
