Matlock (1986)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Matlock starts implying that Mr. Banning is the one that tipped The Scandal reporters about his client, he clutches the stand with both hands and shuffles back and forth. As the line "frequently pay people to alert them" is spoken, transitioning to a different camera angle, he is all of a sudden no longer clinging to the railing corner. (01:11:15)

Matlock (1986)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Matlock pretends he's done with Banning, the hotel desk clerk, he walks away from him. Richard Lineback has his hands in his lap in two different ways in the two separate shots, just beginning to stand twice in a row. (01:10:35)

Matlock (1986)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Prosecutor Burton Hawkins shows People Exhibit B (the murder weapon), doing a fancy twirl, keeping his arm outstretched in the wide shot. His spin concludes in a narrower camera angle; this time, his arm is down. (01:04:15)

Blink Twice (2024)

Continuity mistake: At the fancy dinner at the beginning of the movie, Frida uses the titular line ("Blink twice if I am in danger") on Kyle MacLachlan. Rich slightly tips over his glasses as Slater waves his hand. In the next shot, Slater is still waving, but Rich's position is wildly different; his glasses are completely off and in fact below his waistline. (00:09:20)

Continuity mistake: During the drink-mixing sequence, the ice in the glass keeps changing position between shots. When, at the end, Venom pours the content of the mixer, it spills out, leaving the top half of the glass empty and mostly transparent. However, a second later, the glass is full to the brim with thick fluid.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Eddie and Martin meet for the first time in the woods and they are having a conversation, Rhys Ifans wears his necklace with the pendant above his clothes in the majority of the shots, except the ones when the camera is focused on Tom Hardy and he is facing left. In those shots, the pendant is under the T-shirt.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the interview for the commission, Arthur's psychiatrist asks him about his mother's voice. He replies, "What does that mean?" cigarette in hand, barely above the table. In the next shot, the cigarette is in his mouth. She asks a few seconds later about Joker, "Would he like to talk to me?" Joaquin Phoenix is smoking his cigarette at a different angle between shots.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the barber, towards the beginning of the movie, asks Arthur if he's got a joke for them, Joaquin Phoenix's face is cleaner from soap compared to the previous and following part of the scene - when it's thicker on the neck and goes all the way up on the cheekbone.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the cartoon short that opens the movie, Joker, on his way to the stage, breaks the arm of a man in the corridor. In the background, slightly ahead of him in his path, is a poster for Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times. The camera angle changes as Shadow Joker turns around; he is supposed to be in the same spot, but the poster is way behind him; Joker is now standing next to the Pal Joey poster.

Trap (2024)

Continuity mistake: Cooper is back to his daughter after his bathroom break. He tells her that he met the mother of one of the friends she has a complicated relationship with. He holds her close, grabbing her shoulder. But meanwhile, Lady Raven on stage starts talking, and the next shot, father and daughter are in a different position already.

Trap (2024)

Continuity mistake: Inside Lady Raven's limo, the protagonist's daughter changes seats briefly to go hug her dad. She then grabs the swag bag and asks her idol, "Uhm, can I?" to move back next to her. Saleka Shyamalan says "Yeah" and gestures to her, but she does that looking towards her right (left side of the screen, which would make sense only if Riley were sitting to her father's left. She is seated at his right).

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Mr. Paradox and Wade in front of the MCU screens featuring Captain America, a few times Matthew Macfadyen's motions do not quite match when the camera angle switches. For instance, he leans in twice when Wade salutes Cap, and twice away he bobs when he says he "can be a hero amongst heroes."

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During his introduction to the TVA, Wade is engaged in conversation with Mr. Paradox. There's an employee at a drawing table near them. When Wade salutes Cap, the woman changes position as the camera angle reverses.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the locker room of the car dealership, look at Wade's hands when he emphatically says "F**K No" to his own question. He moves his hands away from Peter's shoulders and then back on him. Reaction shot to Peter laughing, Wade moves his hands again, and you can notice the hand position in the reverse angle does not match this last change.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Wade, a car salesman, is in the back seat of the Kia Carnival with a family of potential buyers. He answers a question about a different vehicle with crude language, to which one of the kids chuckles and puts his left hand in front of his mouth. New shot and he switched hands.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Deadpool pulls out of Logan's carcass the piece of wood that impaled him. It's an overhead camera angle, with both arms of the adamantium skeleton pointing down. He sniffs and throws away the branch. In the next shot, the skeletal hand is now visible at the bottom of the frame, pointing up and close to his face.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the first scene with Wade in his apartment meeting his friends from the previous movies, pay attention to the little chat he is having with Dopinder the cab driver. Ryan Reynolds is holding his green paper cup at different heights between shots.
