High Noon (1952)

Continuity mistake: After the wedding Will Kane lifts up his new wife and seats her on a sideboard. Then, after getting the kiss he asked for, he swirls her around and puts her down on the floor again. In this shot we can only see their upper bodies, but from the way the downward movement pauses while their heads are still almost at level, we can tell that she must have stepped on a stool or something before she touches the ground. (00:08:20)

Other mistake: When Tom is lying on the road closely inspecting the local ant population, the doctor's cinquecento has to brake and almost skids off the dirt road. However, there was no need for such an emergency stop since the doctor was driving quite slowly and Tom was still about 50 meters away from where the car stopped. (00:45:35)

Deliberate mistake: After Emily talks to inspector Girotti she starts a record player. Then she walks over to the window, sees Werner in the garden, and decides to go down. Between shots she appears behind him, which is wrong, as the song from the record goes on, but it's most probably intended. (00:30:45)

Continuity mistake: When we see Aimée painting for the first time she is sitting at the kitchen table. When the camera cuts to a close-up of the picture it's quite different from the one in the wide shot. (00:23:20)

Continuity mistake: After they have arrived in Spain Lukas' new hippie friends have a picnic on the roadside. When Lukas sits down the items on the table move around or appear, like a pair of sunglasses and a steel mug in front of him. (01:21:45)

Visible crew/equipment: After Lukas flushes his pills down the toilet we see him running through the rain. In two shots the umbrella that protects the cameraman appears at the top. (01:02:25)

Continuity mistake: When Lukas returns from the clinic Kati and Jochen have painted the walls in his room green, but when he lies down the walls behind the bed are white again. (00:54:30)

Continuity mistake: When Lukas talks to Jochen about the effects of his medication on the voices he hears, the pill box on the bench keeps shifting around. (00:59:05)

Little Big Man (1970)

Visible crew/equipment: During the battle at Little Big Horn, just before Custer shouts "Fools, shooting their own horses." there is soldier holding his horse, and there is a long rope running horizontally across the screen keeping the horse in place. (02:01:00)

Little Big Man (1970)

Continuity mistake: When Jack and Mrs. Pendrake meet in the whorehouse and talk through a screen of glass beads, Jack is standing very close to the screen, that's why it's out of focus when the camera is on her "looking through his eyes". However, in one shot it's not, and that looks quite strange because Jack hasn't moved away from the screen. (01:46:35)

Little Big Man (1970)

Audio problem: After the children have been kidnapped by the Cheyenne they are sitting in a tee pee discussing the odds of Caroline getting raped. When she says "no such luck for me" the camera cuts close to her at the end of the sentence, and her mouth isn't moving anymore. (00:08:55)

Continuity mistake: On Carla's birthday some huge boxes are piled up on the garden table with a big yellow box on top. After Carla leaves in a huff her mother rearranges them and a reddish box is now on top, but in the last shot of the scene the boxes are positioned again like at the beginning. (00:31:40)
