Relic Hunter (1999)

Affaire de Coeur - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Curled up in the bunk bed, Nigel apologizes for the plot contrivance hit to Sydney's noggin. He is clutching the book, with his hands in obviously different spots between the two shots. (00:10:55)

Affaire de Coeur - S1-E15

Continuity mistake: Sydney is reminiscing about her Peruvian fling; in the foreground her client is taking a sip of wine, and the glass is about half empty. It is already much fuller in the next shot. (00:09:20)

Walk of Shame (2014)

Continuity mistake: Meghan is at the initial meeting with the TV execs. During the scene, the pens in front of the various board members change position between shots, and in the cut that follow her suggestive "hold them steady" hand-pumping, the woman with the light brown sweater is first with her hands off the table, then suddenly on it.

Buddha's Bowl - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Sydney and Nigel are talking with Robert Blaine at the beginning of the episode. When he mentions the Nepalese people there's a close-up on them. One student wearing a white T-shirt is walking up some steps - but in the next shot he is walking down other steps situated earlier in his path. A few seconds later, another flub with an extra; Nigel stops the museum curator just as an extra wearing white clothes enters the frame, but the person is gone in the sudden cut. (00:06:25)

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Continuity mistake: The new Bosley goes for a hug after reporting Edgar's demise. You can see as the hug begins that the sunglasses are not in Elizabeth Banks ' left hand, but it's where they end up when she says that "hugs work." (00:27:50)

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Sabina is so shocked by the explosion that she lets go the battered villain who is very slowly walking away from it, in the overhead shot the bike is in a different spot (almost entirely into the driveable section of the road). More importantly, said villain is nowhere to be seen already, but he detonated the bomb at distance from the bike, 2 of the large tiles away from it, with each tile taking at least 3-4 of his dragged steps. He should still be there. (00:25:55)

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Continuity mistake: While Jane, ejected from the back of the car, is underwater trying to open the car door (for some reason), Kristen Stewart 'stunt double races with her bike towards the baddie. She is driving very close to the SUV and past it, but when we see the bike slide down the street the car is at distance; it's further down the road and it's nowhere as close to the smooth part of the pavement as it is in the approaching shot. (00:25:30)

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Continuity mistake: The standoff between the evil hipster and the fake waitress ends because of the safety mechanism of the gun; the guy tilts the gun to the side to check what is going on in two separate shots. (00:21:50)

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Continuity mistake: The duel between Jane and the deadly hipster in Hamburg has a moment of standoff when he blocks the table she kicked towards him, and they both look at the guns on the floor. Notice how in that shot the table is at distance from the chairs, but in the overhead shot that follows it is really close, to the point that the bowl that Jane knocked over is on the chair.

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #1.3 - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In the scene at Catherine's cafe, the lid on Richard's plastic bottle is off, on, off again. In the same part of the scene, the mug changes position between shots - its handle is pointing away from Richard or towards him, and when they ask him about voodoo, it even is alternatively in his hand or on the table depending on the angle, back and forth several times. (00:17:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Camille and Richard are interrogating the victim's parents. The scene begins and the dad has both hands joined, fingers stretched out. Next shot and he has fingers entwined and only a second later he stretches them to assume the correct position. (00:14:15)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #1.2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Richard is walking through the market fending off the various street vendors. There's a POV shot ending with a woman wearing a headscarf that offers him something that "looks absolutely delicious." In the following shot Richard is still dodging the woman, who gives way to him moving aside in an entirely different way. (00:02:05)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Richard just closed the shack leaving the pet lizard behind, and is talking to the Commissioner who roped him into staying. Fidel and Dwayne are looking at them; the lighting in close-up differs noticeably from the wider angle (check out of the shadow on Dwayne's arm and on the wall). (00:50:35)

Death in Paradise (2011)

Episode #1.1 - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: DI Richard Poole is in front of the panic room, explaining how the murder happened. He is holding two evidence bags; the fact that the one with the .22 gun changes position between shots several times is made more obvious by the fact that the tag is visible, and each time Richard's fingers are covering different letters.

Melodies of Murder - S7-E8

Continuity mistake: The Commissioner visits Jack at his desk to get updates. Jack is busy with the tuning fork; during the sequence it is quite evident that the distance between his hand and the fork is different in the two main camera angles used. (00:32:00)
