Game Night (2018)
Revealing mistake: When Brooks throws the kidnapper against the poster case and then punches him, it's painfully obvious his punch didn't connect. His fist is a good 6-8" away from the kidnapper's face. But they still play a punching sound effect and act like he got punched.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Max gets punched by the kidnappers when they first break in, watch Annie. Her hands go from down on her knees to up playing with her necklace between cuts.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When the actor playing the FBI agent is handing out the folders, and Max sarcastically asks if the FBI wants them to solve the kidnapping, watch Max. He goes from looking at the actor to looking down at the table between cuts.

Game Night (2018)
Audio problem: When Brooks and Max trade places during game night and Brooks taunts Max by calling him "Pretzel-boy," watch closely... Brooks' mouth isn't moving, revealing the line was added in post.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: While Brooks is telling the embarrassing story about Max trying to give himself fellatio, he says the line "He couldn't unhook himself!" Instantly between cuts, his hand goes from up in the air to down by his waist.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Kevin and Michelle tease Ryan about "needing the validation of Instagram models, " watch closely. In between shots, Kevin and Michelle are instantly looking in different directions and doing different things. (Ex. Between shots, Kevin goes from facing Ryan to facing down, and Michelle goes from holding her own drink to pouring a different drink for Kevin).

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Ryan and his date sneak into Max and Annie's house, Ryan knocks over some plants, spilling dirt all over the counter in front of it. It briefly cuts to Max, and when it cuts back, Ryan has put the plants back upright but almost all the dirt has vanished from the counter. It's totally impossible for him to have cleaned up all the dirt in the mere second-or-two that passed between shots.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Max and Annie are talking about whether to invite Gary to game night, after Annie says that Gary has got worse after his divorce, Max turns and looks at her RIGHT before the shot ends. But in the very next shot, suddenly he is facing down and away from her.

Game Night (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Gary points out that Max and Annie have three bags of Tostitos chips, watch the bag in Max's hands. Before Gary says his line, everything is pushed down relatively far, with only the very top few inches of the chips and some celery visible. After Gary's line, when it cuts back to Max and Annie about two seconds later, suddenly the chips and celery are all sticking much higher out of the bag.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985)
Trivia: William Hurt had numerous and constant conflicts with the director over the creative vision of the film, and the fact they could not communicate well due to a language barrier. Hurt also alluded to the fact that his notorious reputation (being very difficult to work with perfectionist who obsessively tried to inhabit his characters) may have contributed to their antagonistic relationship. Despite this, the film and Hurt were met with critical acclaim, and Hurt earned an Oscar for his part.

Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985)
Trivia: Despite being considered an important piece of film history and being an Academy Award-winning film, "Kiss of the Spider Woman" is notoriously hard to find in many countries (including the US) due to nightmarish rights disputes. It was only available on disc for a brief window, has gone through multiple decade-or-more stretches without any official release and is unavailable to stream legally.

Child's Play 2 (1990)
Continuity mistake: In the opening montage, when Chucky is rebuilt, they show his shoes being tied. About a minute later, when the CEO and his assistant enter the room, you can see one of the tech guys tying his shoes in the background... even though they were already tied.

Child's Play 2 (1990)
Continuity mistake: The first shot of the movie is an extreme closeup of Chucky's eye. Two shots later, you get a view of his whole face... and his eye is completely different. The color and design is slightly different, and the charred plastic around it doesn't match. The scene was shot with two different props (an oversized eye for the extreme closeup as confirmed in the commentary, then a regular sized doll-head for the next shot), and they didn't quite match.

Spawn (1997)
Deliberate mistake: When Violator turns back into Clown in the alley, watch closely. You can see his shadow beneath him for a few seconds as he's transforming, and it doesn't match the transformation of the giant monster into the Clown... it's just Clown's regular shadow from the actor standing on-set. More than likely, it's a shortcut for the effects - they didn't bother rendering a simulated shadow. You have to look kinda close to notice it the first time, but once you see it, it's obvious.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator for the first time, there are some shots of him walking down the alley looking for Violator while holding his gun. In-between shots, Spawn goes from holding his gun with one hand, to both hands, back to one hand, etc. repeatedly.

Spawn (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Spawn is fighting Violator the first time, there's a moment where a homeless man finds Spawn's gun, and Spawn grabs it and spins around to point it at Violator... only to realise Violator has vanished. In the first shot of Spawn grabbing his gun, he's right next to the homeless man, and the homeless man begins to turn his head in Violator's direction. It then cuts to a wider shot, and suddenly Spawn is a bit further away from the homeless man and the man is no longer turning his head.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997)
Continuity mistake: When Giles walks up to Buffy, Xander and Willow after The Body is found at the beginning of the episodes, watch the extras walking by in the background. They don't always match as the shot cuts back and forth between Giles and Buffy/Xander/Willow. Ex. When Buffy asks "Vampire?" nobody is walking behind her, but when it cuts to the opposite angle, suddenly two students are walking by from Buffy's direction that weren't there before. This sort of thing happens at least two or three times.
