Scream VI (2023)
Continuity mistake: When Sam returns to her apartment at the beginning of the film, she is carrying two envelopes. When she hears the noise and turns around scared, she goes from holding the envelopes in just her left hand, down by her waist, to suddenly holding them with both hands up by her chest between cuts.

Scream VI (2023)
Continuity mistake: When Jason collapses after being stabbed, the pictures on the refrigerator behind him change slightly between edits, as it cuts to a wideshot. It happens quickly, so you have to pay close attention. (Like some of them shifted during the different takes as he slid down.)

Scream VI (2023)
Continuity mistake: After Jason washes his hands, his phone rings. In the wide shot, his phone is about 3" from the edge of the counter. In the closeup, the phone is actually hanging about 1" over the counter.

Continuity mistake: When Jason is looking at Professor Crane's dead body, the amount and pattern of the blood on the front of her dress, and the position of her head changes slightly between the two shots we see her.

Scream VI (2023)
Continuity mistake: When professor Crane is texting her date, at one point she reaches over and takes a quick drink in a wide shot. The editing is awkward. In the closeup, both of her hands are on her phone. Then, in the next shot, suddenly her left hand is reaching towards her drink. Then she starts to move her hand back towards her phone, but it cuts again, and she's instantly holding the phone in the EXACT same way as before. It looks like the shot of her taking a drink was cut in to break up the phone shot.

Darkman (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Durant and his thugs attack Peyton, as Durant asks about the memorandum, Peyton says he doesn't know what Durant is talking about. To this, Durant replies, "Unfortunate." Durant is literally right next to Peyton. Durant's thug then grabs Peyton, and it cuts to a wider angle. Durant completely vanishes between cuts. Both shots are pointed in the same general direction, so Durant should be (very) visible in the background of the wide-shot.

Super Mario Bros. (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Mario is watching Luigi trying to talk to Daisy after she gets off the phone, he is tapping the empty water bottle against his head. In the first shot, it's against his forehead, but in the next shot, it's suddenly down by his cheek.

Super Mario Bros. (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Koopa is pushed into the chair in the Devo Chamber, suddenly a puddle of goop appears on the floor, and you can see that Koopa is sitting atop an empty uniform that wasn't there before. (There was a short, deleted scene where Koopa used the chamber to reduce a worker to primordial slime, leaving the puddle on the ground and the empty uniform on the chair. However, as the scene was cut, the puddle and uniform appear out of nowhere in the finished film.)

The Dark Knight (2008)
Continuity mistake: In the final fight, Batman shoots the blades out of his gauntlet to knock the detonator out of the Joker's hand. About a half second later, Batman throws Joker over him and off the ledge. If you pay attention, the blades have reappeared on Batman's gauntlet for this one quick shot. They are then appropriately missing for the rest of the scene. (This mistake goes by quickly, so slow motion helps but is NOT required.)

Jack Frost (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Sam walks into his kitchen at the beginning after cleaning his driveway, he walks past his son. His son goes from having his right hand down on the counter to up, holding a ladle between cuts.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Buffy's mom sets down the carton of orange juice on the table after the golf trip, watch closely. The continuity is nightmarish. The carton rotates multiple times between cuts. The cap is on, then off, then back on again between cuts. And Buffy's mom's hand keeps moving on and off the carton between cuts.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: After the mini-golf scene, Buffy comes down to her kitchen. Her mother greets her and sets down a carton of orange juice. In the first shot, her mother is holding the carton with both hands. But in the next shot as she sets it down, she only has one hand on the carton.

Continuity mistake: When Buffy, Xander and Willow are talking at the school near the beginning in front of the vending machine, watch the way Buffy is holding her pink binder. First she's holding it to her side, but shifts it in front of her chest. Instantly, in the next shot it's back by her side. Then it's back in front of her chest again.
