Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Tom Stillwell is shouting instructions at the class. He calls for a stop with his hands behind his back, and the class turns and stands by as he looks...with his hands on his hips. In the reverse shot his arms are down. (00:01:50)

Sleuth (2007)
Continuity mistake: The two protagonists are having a conversation at a long table. Michael Caine sends a bottle of wine rolling across the table. Jude Law opens it and pours. The bottle label now faces him. After Caine says the line "I've never heard of an Italian called Tindale", Milo hasn't moved but the bottle faces the camera now. There's another subtle change in angle and level of the liquid a bit later when Caine says that his wife would get the "Tindelini" last name. (00:09:20)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Benkei climbs the sewer ladder and disappears into the light, Donatello is touching the ladder in the first shot, in fact he puts both hands on deliberately, but he's not even touching it in the second. (01:28:35)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: For his curtain call, Stuart Wilson acts in close-up like he's losing balance, body arched back. The impact looks all different in the wider angle. (01:22:50)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Leonardo ducks the cannon shot tucking his head inside the shell with the bandana going in front of his shoulder, but he emerges with the bandana on both sides of the neck later. (01:19:50)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: In the baffling phase when Whit takes exception to the killing if it's done by guns and Walker just throws him with the others, Elias Koteas moves his gun from the left to the right hand when Stuart Wilson calls for Niles, but in the next shot the gun is much lower. (01:18:15)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: The goons with guns arrive at the castle, "There goes the neighbourhood", quips one of the heroes. In one shot Raphael sidesteps towards Michelangelo to reach his arm, in the reverse it's Mike and Don who are restraining Raph from charging. Same mistake happens a few seconds later, when Walker delivers his "Who's your tailor" line and Don is restraining Raph, or not. (01:17:35)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: In the fight alongside Mitsu, Donatello beats up some soldiers by the table with the scrolls ("Bases loaded, home run"). The scroll is placed in a different, more orderly way than before (when it was on top of another parchment). It wouldn't tidy itself up during the fight. (01:13:40)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: After learning about their supposed ancestors, the Turtles begin fighting Norinaga's guards. Michelangelo is the first one in their way and is at a standoff with one of them who has his sword raised, and still the following shot shows exactly Mike facing some enemies that run at him. (01:13:10)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Raphael points out that Yoshi is no 'senior citizen'. He adds "Come ooooonnn..." and in the passage from one angle to another Raph's bandana moved from the front to the back of his shoulder. (00:56:50)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Leonardo picks Yoshi up from the ground after reviving him; his bandana goes down his left shoulder, but in close-up goes down both sides of his neck. (00:48:30)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: In Niles' POV, during their first confrontation in the middle of the village raid Walker on his horse is in the shade, facing Michelangelo in sunlight. It's the opposite in their respective close-ups. (00:44:15)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Whit and April are fighting by the spring, and just before it cuts to Mitsu preparing an arrow, Elias Koteas is pounced by a guy wearing colorful rags in black, orange and yellow patchwork, a blue and white pattern bandana and black and white striped legwarmers. Behind Mitsu, meanwhile...a guy with the same horrid fashion taste is charging. What are the odds. (00:39:35)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: April screams and squirms to free herself from the arrow that pins her sleeve to the tree. Her hand is in a different position in each shot. (00:38:30)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: The Turtles are fighting the rebels by the springs. The first time we see Leonardo fight some of them off, his first action is hitting (with the side of the sword, we assume, or he'd slice it) the head of a guy, but the 'hit' is really a miss, since no contact is even remotely made. (00:38:20)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: When the guard tells Norinaga about his honor guards; "They're coming! They're behind the wagon!", Norinaga's hand placement changes between shot and reverse. (00:28:15)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Michelangelo loses consciousness and his helmet, the helmet rolls on the ground above his head, but when the rebels are approaching to pick him up and haul him on the cart the helmet is by his shoulder. (00:26:10)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Michelangelo shouts "Woah! Good horsey! Good horsey!" the scepter goes from his left hand to his right between shots. (00:25:35)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: Walker witnesses the music playing and the guards wrecking the demonic machine; he constantly has his left hand held up in the air in the close-ups, but in the other angle he shifted that hand to lean against the door. (00:15:45)
15th Sep 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)
Continuity mistake: April's walkman is very conveniently prone to play randomly. She puts it down on the floor, but it is, together with the headphones, positioned differently practically at every shot in particular when the guards start bashing it and everything is closer together in close-up than in wider angles. (00:15:30)
