Continuity mistake: When Harry visits the President to fit his new suit the President disappears behind a see-through folding screen to change. When he asks for the new pants and puts them on one can tell from the way he was standing behind the screen that he hasn't taken his old pants off. (00:40:35)

Continuity mistake: When Harry returns from the club he first goes into the children's bedroom. Sarah's blanket is down to her waist, and when the camera angle changes also her legs are uncovered. (00:24:50)

Factual error: When Harry takes the drunken Mickie out of the club the doormen manhandle Mickie in a way a doorman would never treat a member of the club. (00:21:00)

Continuity mistake: When Andy comes to recruit Harry he first orders some suits, and he says that this order could develop into "the full monty" (hinting that the meaning of this phrase has turned into the opposite nowadays). At this point his right arm is stretched across the armrest, but when the camera angle changes his hand is up. (00:10:45)

Continuity mistake: When Harry sees his banker Ramon about his credit line Ramon suggests that he should sell the whole farm. At this moment the camera is on Ramon, and there is a reflection of the standing Harry in the window where we see that he turns away from Ramon. When the camera cuts back to Harry he turns around exactly in the same way we saw in the reflection. (00:02:40)

Monster's Ball (2001)

Continuity mistake: Buck can hardly move around due to his lung condition. After he insults Leticia and she runs out of the house and drives off he makes it out to porch way too fast. Then, in the next shot, he is seen sitting with his oxygen kit on, which he wasn't wearing before. (01:26:30)

Monster's Ball (2001)

Continuity mistake: The blood stains on Leticia's shirt almost disappear when she finds out that Ty is dead. Similarly, the blood stain on Hank's shirt pocket grows when he talks to the police officer and gets smaller again when he gives Leticia her purse. (00:52:35 - 00:54:45)

Monster's Ball (2001)

Visible crew/equipment: When Hank tells his father that he quit his job a crew member is visible through the window throughout the whole scene. Neither the location of the house nor the plot allow that this is an extra just placed there for no reason. (00:47:05)

Monster's Ball (2001)

Continuity mistake: When Hank comes home after the disastrous execution he runs up the stairs to Sonny's room. The steps are all dark even though the door is open. When Sonny throws him down the stairs less than a minute later the sun is shining on the lower steps. (00:33:35)

The Sicilian (1987)

Visible crew/equipment: When Don Masino and the professor stand at Giuliano's grave, in all close-ups of the Don's face the padded microphone that is held up in front of him is reflected in his spectacles. (02:15:20)

The Sicilian (1987)

Factual error: After his assassination, Giuliano's body is dropped on the street, and another round is fired into him. In the next shot we see a TV reporter saying something, and there are meter-long rivers of blood running across the street. As he was already dead when he was dropped he wouldn't have bled like that. (02:11:45)

The Sicilian (1987)

Continuity mistake: During the farewell scene at the harbour, when Giuliano drives off, it gets bright between shots. (02:10:10)

The Sicilian (1987)

Other mistake: It certainly adds very dramatic touch but that a police squad on motorbikes driving by a house makes the cups shake in the saucers is a bit over the top. (02:02:35)

The Sicilian (1987)

Continuity mistake: During the shooting at the estate gate there's a cut to prince Borsa in his study. When the camera is back at the gate Giovanna's wind-blown hair has been gracefully redone. (02:01:15)

The Sicilian (1987)

Continuity mistake: When the four men are shot at the estate gate there's desk behind them with a hat lying on it. During the shooting the hat gets blown away, but in the next shot from the other side the hat is back in place. (02:00:50)

The Sicilian (1987)

Continuity mistake: When Giovanna follows Giuliano to the bathroom where he is vomiting her formerly rolled-up sleeve is down to her hand from one shot to the next. (01:48:50)

The Sicilian (1987)

Continuity mistake: Shortly before the killing begins there are alternating shots of Giovanna and her brother either standing in the group or on the opposite site, facing them. (01:46:45)

The Sicilian (1987)

Continuity mistake: When the communists are marching up the mountains singing The International there's a girl walking in front with Giovanna and her brother with a large red kite. The kite is missing in one close-up of the front group. (01:45:45)
