Continuity mistake: Darius is making his way through the party crowd after the former SEAL member spotted him. Look when he drinks the last glass of champagne; in the background there's the same woman with a pearl necklace his pursuers already passed by. It's like they are -ahead - of him and not behind. (00:39:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After the funeral, Charlie is walking in a mall. Behind her there's a man with a maroon tie chatting with a woman at his side. He carries a beige coat that in the second shot is held differently, showing its black interior. (00:34:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: For his escape, Ice Cube leaps on the incoming surprise silent chopper. The trajectory of his leap is different in the various shots - he was never gonna be able to grab the skid the way he was falling in the first shots. (00:12:45)

Clamp School (1997)

Kessei! CLAMP gakuen tanteidan - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Nokoru Imonoyama is looking at the dossier about the brother-in-law of their client. The chart showing the sorry state of his business looks different from the close-up when Nokoru puts it down - for instance, it's bi-color grey and white, when it was simply with white background before. (00:13:15)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: With a gun pointed at his head, Gibbons retorts that General George Deckert does not seem to do "any of the dying." Look at the shadows on the doorframe, and look at them again when the camera is back on Samuel Jackson; big change even if he surely didn't go anywhere. (00:29:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: As Ice Cube waltzes into the truck after the boat stunt, Shavers stares at him. Behind him you can see the car window is half/a third of the way up. With all the commotion, it's unlikely that Shavers decided to close it a bit; it was practically all the way down before, when Darius told him to get his butt off the driver's position, and up when he was saying there was a problem. (00:24:50 - 00:25:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube jumps off the speedboat he crashed on top of the bridge, the natural light in the shot when he is walking towards the explosion without looking is quite different from the crash shots. (00:25:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When we see Ice Cube move from boat to boat cutting the fuel line, we see also the disconnected pipes flopping down. But in close-up the little fuel tube we see pumping gas letting it pool into the deck is carefully propped to stays up and spurts at full force. Darius did not take time to fix any engine that way, though. (00:23:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When XXX stuns with rather unorthodox techniques the two guys the idiot co-protagonist left alone to guard the base, the first one to go down collapses with his right arm straight in front and the left hand below his elbow. When Scott Speedman gets back and start chasing Ice Cube, you can see the same man on the floor, right arm all the way down along his side, and his body turned so the left hand is not in the same position. (00:21:40 - 00:22:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In a problem already spotted in the previous movie of the saga, the departed Michael Roof had poor ring discipline; when the scene of the assault at the barn begins and he reminds 'X' that it's a covert operation, he's holding the binoculars with ring-free hands, but in the shot when he sighs saying "Subtle..." he sports an obvious metal band (exactly like in the original movie) at his right ring finger. (00:20:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Gibbons asks Agent Toby Lee Shavers to fit the rocket he picked from the car into a personal weapon, Michael Roof holds the rocket in two different ways (grip on the pipe or between the fins) depending on the camera angle. (00:20:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube reverses the Gibbons' "Three strikes" speech, the waitress behind him keeps changing position throughout the scene, serving the table to the right of the door, or to the left, back and forth. (00:14:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Ice Cube fights three guards on the rooftop, the light varies significantly; just look at the guards when they are on the ground, the first one in particular, and where the shadow of the building extends. (00:12:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: After for some incredibly silly reason the sniper does not shoot Darius thus ending the movie early, the convict jumps off the roof and finds more guards to beat up. He faces the first one, punches him, a new one joins...only, not, since the next shot is of Ice Cube kicking some more the first, while the second is just now coming out of the door giving him more time to kick more butt. (00:12:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Darius Stone is fighting the first two wardens, the ones who have him in cuffs. One of them decks the other by mistake with the baton; the stuntman goes down on the ground next to Darius, face first, in the wide angle, but the actor is limp with his back to the door in the next shot. (00:11:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The President's assistant asks him the first time we see him "Roses or tulips?" George appears out of the blue in the next shot despite being barely (perhaps) visible at the very end through the side door, while the other people in front of the President were exactly where they are in the new shot. (00:06:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Shredder unbalances Donatello in the fight his left foot is close but not inside the large shadow area, but Michelangelo attacks him right away and despite his lack of movement, now that foot is in the shadow cone. (01:20:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The Turtles are making fun of The Shredder's name once he announced it. Look at Michelangelo when he recites the coleslaw joke; his bandanna goes down the right side of his back, but it's on the left side in the next shot. (01:19:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the Turtles strike a pose after they wasted all the Foot soldiers before their big showdown with The Shredder, the ninja lie unconscious at their feet in different position. Even the roof is lit differently. (01:18:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Master Tatsu is raging against the students, and slams one against the lockers. Another Foot soldier tries to restrain him. The unmasked victim of the assault is clutching the shoulder bit of Tatsu's hood, but his hand is further down his arm in the reverse shot. (00:49:00)
