Continuity mistake: At the beginning when the helicopter lands, the helicopter's shadow goes out toward the rear right of it (from the pilot's perspective), but when Sue grabs her bags and walks to Walter, the shadow is now cast to the front right. Since Sue got out and was standing next to it, the helicopter did not move in the meantime. (00:03:15)

Anastasia (1997)
Continuity mistake: When the Dowager Empress is walking towards the door and says the cinnamon smell is from an oil, her reflection in the mirror exactly matches her movements, including when she turns, when it should show a mirror image. Note the blue sash is on the same side in both. A quick reflection of Anastasia's head just before when she says "I just want to know who I am" has the same problem. After they sit the reflections appears to be right. (01:09:40)

Matilda (1996)
Continuity mistake: At the end when Trunchbull throws the boy out of the window, we see when he is flying back in that the brown car is parked about 6-8 feet away from the building and bushes. When Trunchbull runs out of the building to the car after having food thrown at her, the car grill is now almost touching the bushes and the car is further from the stairs. (01:26:00 - 01:28:00)

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Continuity mistake: The dash or speedometer of the Ferrari is visible multiple times, but two different dashes are seen. In one the speedometer has a top speed of 160 (garage men speeding down the road, when Cameron sees the mileage is too high, and when Cameron sees the miles aren't coming off). In the other it has a top speed of 120 (when they get in the car to leave the garage, and looking over Ferris' shoulder at Cameron leaning on the car in the garage before he kicks it [open matte version]). The two dashes also use a different font for the numbers. (00:55:00 - 01:09:40)

The Shack (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Mack is plowing the snow in his driveway and the plow runs out of gas, the amount of snow around the plow changes between shots. It is especially noticeable on the plow's left where it goes from no piled snow to a row of piled snow. (00:08:20)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Talos appears in Rambeau's house he gets scared after seeing the cat, which then sits down facing Danvers about a foot to the right of Talos' boots. A second later, Danvers reaches down about six feet in front of Talos and picks up the cat which is now facing Talos. There wasn't enough time for the cat to have moved from a sitting position to the new location, let alone turned around. (01:05:00)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: After Danvers heats the kettle with her hand she sits and speaks with Rambeau, the window shades change in the last shot. Most noticeable is the pulls change positions. (01:00:30)

The Sixth Sense (1999)
Continuity mistake: Before Dr. Crowe first speaks with Cole, he is sitting reviewing notes and when Cole comes out of the apartment, Crowe flips to the notes on Cole. The camera is in tight, and moves to close ups of words on the page. Later when translating the Latin Cole was saying, we see a large part of the page, and it is obviously the same page from earlier, including the words that were zoomed in on. Problem is it starts by describing how they first met in a church, which when Crowe was first reviewing the notes had not yet happened. It also describes Cole saying things we don't hear him say in the church. It is obvious from the greeting that the meeting in the church we see is the first time they meet, so how did Crowe have a written description of an event that had not yet happened? There is no indication that ghosts forget events they do after they died, so it wouldn't make sense that this isn't the first meeting, and Crowe just doesn't remember.

Under Siege (1992)
Continuity mistake: Before Admiral Bates first speaks to Strannix, there is a dark-haired marine in a green uniform on his left. When Bates raises his hand to signal activating the audio to speak, Captain Garza (black uniform and silver hair) is suddenly on his left. Then it changes to another camera angle and the marine is back next to Bates. (00:36:40)

Under Siege (1992)
Continuity mistake: When the helicopter lands we see it is sitting over the white circle of the landing zone on the back of the ship. Later, right after the F18 is shot down, we see an aerial view of the ship with a small part of the back cut off, but part of the landing zone circle is visible and there is no helicopter. (00:13:30 - 00:36:00)

The Shack (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Mackensie is having breakfast with Papa, right as he tells Papa she doesn't stop bad things from happening, there is a 2 second cutaway after which there are multiple changes. The geese in the background have disappeared, the shadow on the grass changed, a biscuit on the tray moved, and Papa's red coffee cup moved. (01:04:50)

Thor (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Jane and Thor are driving out to where the hammer is, we see a lot of side shots showing barbed-wire fence posts passing by on both sides of the truck, but when Jane is distracted and goes a little off the road, we are shown a front shot of her bringing the truck back onto the road, except there are no fence posts or fence anywhere to be seen. Immediately afterwards, we again see side shots with fence posts going by. (00:51:00)

Continuity mistake: When Martha approaches the men at the transportation shed, the stereo is visible on the bench on the right and its front is parallel to the side of the bench, but when it switches on for the dance fight, it is now at about a 30 degree angle, touching both sides of the bench. (01:10:30 - 01:12:00)
