Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: Travis shoots Harry in the leg, and Harry is slumped against the wall next to the doorway. When Payne sets off the bomb, Harry is now no longer near the door, and is halfway down the corridor. Not enough time had passed between shots for this to have occurred. (00:22:20)
Suggested correction: Harry drops to floor by door 1 on the right-hand side of the corridor facing the parking lot. We then get a 2-3 second shot of Jack shrugging and shouting "Freeze" at Howard. Howard is then seen staring at Jack in disbelief at the thought of him shooting a hostage. We then see Howard (still in the initial 3 seconds) walk into the parking lot and Jack run towards the door. As Howard is going through the door the shot changes to Jack and in this shot you can see Harry shuffling down the corridor.

Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: Traven drives at high speed down the hard shoulder of the freeway to get to the bus to avoid the big traffic jam. When Traven cannot get on the bus, the black Jaguar XJS is now close at hand, which would have been impossible - it was way back in the traffic and couldn't have got to him that quickly.

Speed (1994)
Continuity mistake: In a camera shot from behind the bus, it shows Traven moving the Jaguar in front of the bus. In the next camera shot from the front, it shows Traven moving the Jaguar again in front of the bus. He'd already completed the move in the previous shot.

Continuity mistake: When the spotter is organising with the girls to go to the party outside their apartment, behind him you can see a grey Peugeot 806 people carrier with nothing behind it. In the shot as he walks away, a dark coloured car has now appeared behind the Peugeot - not enough time had passed for that to happen.

Live and Let Die (1973)
Continuity mistake: After Bond has finished ripping the wings off the Cessna and parks up, he speaks to the old female pilot, and in doing so, the camera shows that the wings behind her head are still intact, when they were already ripped off at this point.

DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
Continuity mistake: When Helena is being scanned by the computer, you get to see multiple simultaneous angles of her on the computer screen. Her head movements in one of the images do not match what her head's doing in the others. (00:18:15)

DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
Continuity mistake: When Kasumi is holding her sword at the throat of the purple haired girl at the start, her sword changes between shots. In the first shot, the blade is facing up. In the next, it is now flat. Not enough time has passed in between shots for this to have occurred. (00:03:15)

DOA: Dead or Alive (2006)
Continuity mistake: When Tina Armstrong kicks the two pirates off the yacht, she then adopts a classic fighting stance for the pirate leader. In the first shot she's leading with her left arm; in the next shot she's leading with her right arm. Not enough time has elapsed for this to occur. (00:06:25)
12th Sep 2008
RocknRolla (2008)
Continuity mistake: The car they pour petrol/gasoline over in the closeup shot is a 2007 Chrysler 300C Hemi with the big square-shaped grille. In the long shot where the car blows up, it is not the same car; the grille has changed shape and is more akin to an old Mercedes.
Suggested correction: The grille hasn't changed shape, it looks different because of the explosion damage.
