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.

Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Melissa is attacked by Keyface, the blood on her forehead, nose and face changes slightly a few times over the course of the scene. (Likely due to it being reapplied and not quite 100% matching several times during filming).

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when young Elise is talking about the man who was executed, we see her mother standing at the kitchen sink, staring at her.

She warped about 10 feet to the left between cuts.

Spider-Man (2002)
Continuity mistake: This is a little hard to explain. During the Unity Day Festival, after Goblin beats up the cops, the shot cuts and he turns around to face Spider-Man, who lands in front of him. The problem? He was facing the same direction as Spider-Man in the previous shot (you can tell from the background), so it makes no sense that he has to turn around when the camera cuts.
