Maigret (2022)

Continuity mistake: At the clothing rental store, Maigret puts the box with the victim's bloodied dress on the counter. He leans against the counter with closed fists, but in the next shot, we see Gérard Depardieu leaning with his open hands flat instead. (00:17:00)

Queens Logic (1991)

Audio problem: Al (Joe Mantegna) gets knocked down by a mighty punch from his wife Carla (Linda Fiorentino), who, after lying some more, grabs the two daughters to go to her mum's. One of the daughters flashes a smile and supposedly says, "Hi Daddy!", but the line is dubbed in. (00:15:00)

Maggie Moore(s) (2023)

Continuity mistake: When the police show up at Michael Kosco's place, Deputy K. Reddy wanders off to check the window. There's a brief cut to a wider angle, then Jon Hamm is hunched over again like in the first shot, even though he has already changed position. (01:21:40)

Maggie Moore(s) (2023)

Continuity mistake: After the Nazi suicide, Jon Hamm and Nick Mohammed are having drinks together. The bottle of beer disappears and reappears in different positions between shot and reverse shots. (01:07:40)

Seeking Justice (2011)

Character mistake: Nicolas Cage looks up the Bing results for Alan Marsh, the journalist he accidentally kind of murdered. The URL of his personal blog, hosted by the newspaper he works for, spells "blog" wrong. (00:55:25)

Farewell, Friend (1968)

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Charles Bronson is walking along the pier, carrying his bag over his left shoulder. He stops in a separate shot, grinning at the camera and tossing the highball glass he was carrying into the sea (as soldiers normally do). In this same shot, he switches the bag to his right hand. Back to the previous angle, and Bronson is again walking with his bag over his left shoulder, like nothing happened. (00:01:15)

The Menu (2022)

Margot: Is that going to fit everyone?
Tyler: Yeah easily. Twelve customers total.
Margot: A night? How do they turn a profit?
Tyler: $1,250 a head. That's how.
Margot: You're fucking kidding, right? What are we eating, a Rolex?
Tyler: C'mon, let's not ruin this by talking price, yeah? Just go with the flow.

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Continuity mistake: In the Mexico hideout, when Dorn gets through the door with a cheerful "¡Olé!", the jacket on his shoulder changes length between shots. (01:35:15)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Continuity mistake: When Marcus asks to switch seats with a passenger who is all too eager to go for it, his left hand changes position between shots. (01:32:00)

Continuity mistake: When the WAW gang packed in the van is singing "Born to Raise Hell," the scenery through the van window changes between shots. (01:30:25)

Bad Boys (1995)

Revealing mistake: As the Camaro explodes on the bridge, a piece of it notably flies off. You can see it fall down a cable attached to it. (01:12:20)

Bad Boys (1995)

Audio problem: We hear Mike cock his two guns a variety of times in a row during the scene when he is threatening Jojo and Marcus. (01:25:25)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Other mistake: After Mike is gunned down, Captain Harris visits the AMMO team hard at work to figure out who could have done it. However, it seems unlikely that they are so dedicated to their job that none of them had time to change clothes when we see another briefing after Armando's three other killings, which happened across at best days, more likely weeks, or the six months of Mike's recovery. Everyone is wearing the exact same thing. (00:19:00 - 00:21:00)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Continuity mistake: When Rita bails out of babysitting, she says, "Oh no, I have to work," pointing inward, but her finger is outward when she continues the phrase in the next shot. (01:56:20)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Continuity mistake: When Dorn does a Superman punch on a bad guy during his sortie on the left flank with Rafe, the guy he attacks had a machine gun in the previous shot, but he takes the punch already hands-free. (01:44:10)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Other mistake: Mike has a spycam in the locket, but Isabel tears it off his neck. However, the device immediately stops working. Unless the 5' woman crushed the actual metal instantly in her fist, it should keep working and broadcast at least the audio, even if she snapped the cord free. (01:39:25)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Continuity mistake: Somehow, Marcus got a plane seat right behind Mike. He puts his hand by Mike's headrest, and in the same shot, he removes the hand from that position. But the hand is still there in the next one. (01:30:50)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Other mistake: When Mike goes through Isabel's file, it says that she escaped prison on April 10, 2019. However, the scene is set on August 22 of the same year, 2019 (it says the date right there as it checks "the last 2 months" of phone calls with Dorn). Mike was shot at least 6 months before (it says "six months later" in the wedding scene, which is where he makes his reappearance after the shooting scene, possibly more time passed). Mike was shot only after Isabel got out of prison, so that's impossible. (01:24:30)

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Character mistake: The movie is set in 1999. Mike's ex was arrested on November 11, 1995. Mike then tells Marcus that he met her when he was an undercover cop in Mexico, fresh out of the academy, "twenty-four years ago," before he got partnered up with him. However, earlier in the movie, it's mentioned that Marcus has been married to Theresa for 26 years and partnered with Mike for 25 years.

Bad Boys for Life (2020)

Other mistake: Mike's undercover job ends in 1995 and has to take place before Marcus and him work together. The first "Bad Boys" takes place in the mid-nineties (there's a 1990 calendar but also a Michael Jordan retirement reference, so it's safe to say it's supposed to happen between 1993 and 1995). Mike mentions there that they have been partners at the precinct for six years. Moreover, in "Bad Boys 2," Marcus' yearbook from 1988 has Mike's signature with the Bad Boys motto; they were friends long before the first movie. There was no room for nerdy "Michael" to disappear for possibly years without Marcus knowing and the subject coming up before.
