Continuity mistake: At the warehouse raid, Mike yells, "Put it down, put it down," to Booker Grassie. At that point, despite continuous background noise from the shootout, it's clear that there is a discontinuity of a couple of seconds. Booker's position changes (he did put "it" down and is looking straight ahead), and Mike's position too, since he is now holding the radio as well. (00:42:45)

Continuity mistake: When Manny stains the sleeve of Mike's suit with a handprint, Will Smith's pinky finger is curled in a very strange way for Manny's reaction shots, but it wasn't like that in the first shot. (00:34:00)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: When Casper gets on the plane, he starts shooting at Marcus from the airplane door. To the left of the door, there are two windows with tin foil taped over; the airplane is obviously in storage. The taping disappears when he fires again a couple of shots later. (01:46:30)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: When Theresa gets to Mike's apartment and confronts both real and fake Marcus, she mentions that lying to her is no use because she saw them on the news. Will Smith says, "That sh*t be having a slant," both hands free. In the next shot, he's holding a gun in his right hand. (01:32:10)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: Inside Mike's apartment, Marcus is fighting with the answering machine. Julia puts the bag with one of her dogs down on the couch. You can see her set the bag next to the gap between two pillows, but in the next shot, it's next to the armrest. Also, the strap is off the couch the next time the bag is in frame once he mentions the "peak hours," but nobody touched it. (00:43:10)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: When the captain greets the Bad Boys, saying "Welcome to our nightmare," Joe Pantoliano is wearing no glasses, either on his face or around his neck. Cut to him opening the door to the vault; he's now wearing a retainer with glasses. The shots are not technically consecutive, but he was only leading them through a corridor. There's no reason why he'd feel the urge to wear his glasses all of a sudden when he didn't even have them on hand. (00:12:25)

Continuity mistake: In the wrap-up shot of the scene in front of the bus, Paige and the girls are talking about her fake tan and dye. Madison screws on the lid with the hand that was holding the bottle in the previous shot. (00:56:35)

Continuity mistake: Fast forward to the present day, and Saraya and Zak are double-pinfalling their parents in a match. As the referee counts to three, Saraya is holding her mother's arm in the pinfall at first, but she is not holding it in the overhead shot. (00:04:25)

The Machine (2023)

Continuity mistake: Scene inside the shrink's office at the beginning of the movie; Bert's daughter reacts as he mentions "the c word." Her mum is at the rightmost seat, with both hands on the pillow. In the next shot, her hands are in completely different positions. A similar mistake occurs later when the mother asks her daughters to leave. (00:04:40)

Klimt (2006)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Egon Schiele is escorted to Klimt's hospital room. On the deathbed, a large glass creeps a few inches closer to the immobilized artist as soon as the camera angle changes. (00:04:25)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: After the scene featuring pictures of Martin Lawrence with a big afro, Julia asks him how Marcus's wife is. She adds in a close-up that she must be pretty amazing. Look at her hand, palm against her cheek. That's not the pose she has in the next, wider shot. That's the pose she will get to a few seconds later when she says, "Watching him tonight," etc. (01:18:25)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: Inside the suite, Julie takes a sip from Max's glass. Behind her, Eddie Dominguez giggles, "Watch your step." He rubs his already powdered nose, then touches the glass. Cuts to a wider angle, and Eddie is repeating the exact same movements - but Julie isn't. (00:25:00)

Bad Boys (1995)

Continuity mistake: The Bad Boys enter the precinct, made into a crime scene, through an overhead shot. To their left as they come in, a cop in a suit with fair, curly hair makes a turn around a desk corner. It cuts to Will Smith saying, "Hey bay-beh!" tapping Francine's desk. A different cop is behind them, then it cuts to a wider shot with Martin Lawrence in a more subdued greeting, and the same cop from the first shot does the same turn as before. (00:12:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the airport, Paige hugs her parents for the first time. There's a guy with white hair who walks past them. He is absent in the reverse shot, though. About 20 seconds pass as they talk some more; they hug a second time... and there he is this time: White Haired Guy is in the reverse shot, barely past them. (00:35:10)

Conclave (2024)

Continuity mistake: Sergio Castellitto summons Ralph Fiennes to his table to discuss the surprise cardinal that has just sprung up at the conclave. When he asks him to look around, he says, "Look at the cardinal two seats away from him eating his tortellini; his spoon is raised or lowered without continuity." (00:24:25)

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 GĂ©rard Depardieu leaning with his open hands flat instead. (00:17:00)

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)

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)
