Angel - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: After Giles closes the library for "filing, " we see Buffy grab a crossbow off a shelf. It is upside down when she grabs it. Instantly between cuts, it is right side up. You can tell from the grip thingy that sticks out from it. (It looks like she starts to rotate it in the first shot, but it's instantaneously flipped over in the next).

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Borba reawakens at the funeral home and says "I have been judged, " you can sort-of see Owen reflected in the glass in front of him, and Owen's face looks totally blank. When it cuts to Owen, Xander and Willow (right before the commercial break happens), Owen suddenly has a shocked expression on his face.

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The second time we see the van going to Sunnydale, the creepy guy is delivering a weird sermon. At one point, we see him reflected in the driver's mirror, and he is gesturing with his right hand, which is up around his abdomen/chest area. It then cuts and suddenly his hand is down by his side.

Never Kill A Boy On The First Date - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The second time we see the van going towards Sunnydale, the creepy religious zealot guy puts his arm on the seat behind the mother and child. It then cuts to a closeup of them, and we cannot see the creep's arm behind them. It cuts back to a wideshot, and suddenly his arm is behind them again.

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Xander thinks he hears someone at Miss French's house, she distracts him by caressing his chin. In the two shots facing Miss French, she's touching his chin with her LEFT hand but in the shot facing Xander she's touching his chin with her RIGHT hand.

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Buffy is telling Giles and Willow what she read about praying mantises in the book, she slams it shut and says "Ha!" The scene then cuts from a wide shot to a medium shot of Buffy, and the way she is holding the book changes slightly between cuts. (More specifically, her hand and the book rotate about 45° between cuts).

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, Miss French picks up a little terrarium with the mantis in it, the position of the mantis changes instantly between cuts. First it's on the left side, then it's on the right.

Continuity mistake: At the Bronze in the beginning of the episode, two guys are talking about girls. At one point, one of them (the white guy) goes from facing forward to facing sideways at his friend between edits.

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, Buffy's teacher turns on a light box and places a single slide on it. In the next shot, you can see the light box reflected in his eyeglasses, and in the reflection, you can see there are suddenly four or five slides on the light box. Then in the very next shot, there are suddenly NO SLIDES WHATSOEVER on the light box, and he places two down.

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, the vampire makes Buffy back up into a pillar. In the first shot, Buffy is only inches away from the pillar. The camera cuts to the vampire for a second, then when it cuts back to Buffy, she's suddenly moved forward several feet and backs up into the pillar finally.

Teacher's Pet - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when you first see the vampire, you see a girl behind him running from screen-right to screen-left. She's in a blue plaid shirt and jeans. The scene cuts to Buffy for a second, then cuts back to the vampire and you can see the same girl doing the exact same thing in the background... running from screen-right to screen-left. (It looks like they used two different takes of the same shot in the scene).

Game Night (2018)

Continuity mistake: Right after Max kisses the hand of Ryan's ditzy date, the shot cuts. In the first shot, her hand is still up, but instantly in the next shot, it's down by her side.
