Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Camille on the rocking chair asks Humphrey "If it wasn't him..." Humphrey's hand in the foreground is on his chin. She finishes the sentence in the next shot, where Kris Marshall's hand is suspended in front of him at distance from his face. (00:37:10)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Everyone is gathering to address the sudden darkness problem. Anna Jackson in the wider angle reaches to get the lantern from her brother Joseph. New shot and it takes a couple seconds before that same action happens, again and in a different way. (00:29:40)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: When Fidel is taking Emily Benoit's prints, he is holding the glass with his index directly under the bulb on the stem in the frontal views, but the hand in foreground in the remaining shots is holding the glass a little above the middle. (00:27:35)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Fidel is taking Emily's fingerprints. She places the fingertips on the glass, and at the same time Dwayne is talking. He mentions the "pretty glowing picture" the newspapers paint. Fidel's middle finger is bent in a pretty peculiar position, but it's joined with the others in the next shot. (00:27:40)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Emily Benoit crouches to open the safe; Camille is flipping through the victim's book and in the front view she notices something, raising it and tilting it to look more closely. Next shot and it's as if the previous never happened. (00:17:00)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Humphrey is going through the various whereabouts of the suspects at the time of the gunshot. Emily Benoit says she was taking a shower. Her hands are on the table and are arms don't move, but in the following shot when Humphreys faces the nicer son, she has one hand on the table, the other in her lap. (00:09:25)

Episode #3.7 - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Fidel finds the bullet; during this preliminary examination, the shirt of the victim is suddenly all neat and pressed in the shot when he looks down at it after Goodman's question ("Why is he not wearing a shirt?"). Moreover, the shirt in the close-up is fully sunlit, and it is not in the wider angles. (00:06:30)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: There's a rather burly woman with short blonde hair and a pink dress in the very last shot of the episode. She is an extra that keeps popping around in the ending scene at different times (before Dwayne's hot tin roof line, and during Catherine's magical angry bird memory). (00:51:35)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Having (more) beers with Captain Jack at the end of the episode, Dwayne tells him "You've been like a cat on a hot tin roof"; a woman wearing a blue dress walks past them. Seconds later in the convo, in a close-up Paul Barber asks "Which you?" and the same woman is passing again, and with her two guys in green and purple from a previous shot. (00:49:25)

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Once Kris Marshall wins his staredown with the whiteboard, he exclaims; "It's you and it works!" and turns towards Fidel and Camille. Fidel in the background is holding the documents in a single pile, which become one for each hand as it cuts to a closer view. (00:38:30)

Sammo

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Humphrey cracked the case; looking at the whiteboard, he says that the "Who" is kinda obvious. The names on the board are written differently than the first time. (00:16:00 - 00:38:00)

Sammo

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Humphrey finally realises the obvious clue and begins doing his handwaving hocus-pocus, he asks Fidel to check the egg theft; his arm is raised, lower, raised depending on the angle. He then turns towards the whiteboard and he's pointing the left hand, or right hand, again with a sudden change dependant on the camera view. (00:37:25)

Sammo

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Humphrey recalls 'the happiest two weeks' of his life and suddenly stops at the mention of the keyword "eggs." Seen from behind, he leaves the desk (Camille asks "Sir?") but he's still standing there in the next shot, and moves away only after a second. (00:37:20)

Sammo

Episode #3.6 - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Dwayne just barely survived his attempt to outdrink Captain Jack Parrot. Camille asks him "Do you actually remember anything?" He answers, and there's a cut to Kris Marshall shifting position as he listens intently - but he's precisely in the same position and stance the moment the camera cuts back to the previous angle. Same a few lines later when Camille asks "Is that it?"; she hunches over, but she is standing next to Dwayne without a single change once the quick cut is over. (00:35:25)

Continuity mistake: The family tree Kay and Griffin retrieve from the armory expedition is already visible in the hall of before the mission.

A Simple Favor (2018)

A Simple Favor mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Emily removes from her outfit the jacket and the dickey and leaves them on the couch before she gets booze (for some reason in another room). The dickey lies on top of the jacket, untouched and yet obviously in different ways in the various shots - look at it the first time, with just a little part sticking out over the couch and down its back, and then look at it when Emily comes back, and how the jacket and dickey are practically parallel. (00:08:25)

Continuity mistake: When Aunt Sarah arrives, she dumps her luggage in the hands of Jim and then passes him to his right, leaving him between herself and the door. In the reverse shot, Jim is on the opposite side. (00:29:15)
