Continuity mistake: In front of the favourite taxi diner, just after De Niro tells Wizard that he has some "bad ideas" in his head, you can see on his face and the wall behind him the characteristic intermittent pulse of emergency vehicle lights. The shot change, with Wizard talking across the cut implying continuity, and a few seconds later, right in that streeet, a police car with emergency lights on pulls over to apprehend someone.

Taxi Driver (1976)
Continuity mistake: At Belmore's, Travis looks at the crimpled 20 dollars note in his hand; in close-up the top left (relatively speaking) corner of the note is folded perfectly towards him, while in the other shot there was no straight folding line. (00:45:35)

Taxi Driver (1976)
Continuity mistake: Travis walks out of Belmore to talk to Wizard. Right at the door he passes by some hoodlums; he is staring down in close-up a black kid with a chain. Another kid with a white T-shirt, carrying nunchakus, is behind him in that close-up, but walked already way ahead of him in the very first shot. (00:46:00)

Taxi Driver (1976)
Continuity mistake: Betsy walks away from the porn theater, and Travis follows her. He says, trying to yank her back by her arm "Wait a second, I wanna talk to you." Two prostitutes walk behind them. In the shot that follows, behind De Niro, the same prostitutes pop again in frame walking in the same direction, not having advanced at all and in fact being behind their previous position.

Taxi Driver (1976)
Continuity mistake: Travis is in the Charles Palantine campaign office to talk to Betsy for the first time. When he asks, leaning on the desk "What do you say?", one of the volunteers, a girl wearing jeans and a T-shirt in horizontal stripes, walks behind him. In the next shot, with Cybill Shepherd playing with her pencil as she ponders an answer, the same girl walks again behind Robert De Niro, coming from the same direction as earlier. (00:22:25)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Smoking Gun - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: In the prologue, Young Murray finds a man he does not know sitting at a table. He advances towards him in a wide shot of the room, and the man positions his left hand on the corner of the table, but in the following closer angle on him, his hands are close together exactly like in the initial shot by the same angle. It's like the middle one never happened. (00:03:10)

Relic Hunter (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Sydney Fox retrieves the parchment with the map, she holds it differently (probably turned 180°) between the close-up and the reverse shots. It also should be noted that the world-class archaeologist just casually dumps on the floor like a piece of garbage a ornate XVI century flask. (00:23:50)

Charlie's Angels (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Jane is ejected from the car thumping against the channel's edge, in the shot with the camera positioned in the 'car' with a clean view of Ella Balinska flailing her limbs around, we see her fall with a relatively low parable, but she plunges into the river at great distance from the car.
