Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Realizing they are missing the necklace, the three girls get on the balcony looking for Riley and staring at the clock. When she says "At noon", Meg is leaning on the railing with the side of her hand, but her hand is in frame in the following shot, flat on the palm. (01:16:20)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Grace is in front of the horse stall after the polo match, closing the door. Her hand is still on the door when she is shot from the front, but both arms are hanging low in the intermediate view with the camera behind her. (01:00:00)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: In the scene with Meg meeting Riley who just changed by the bikes on the promenade, the same couple of extras (woman with a cyclamen dress, a guy in a grey T-shirt carrying a blue towel) walks together when Meg knocks down the vespa, and then seconds later they appear in separate shots, still coming from the same direction as before.

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Meg loses her balance leaning into the Vespa by Riley. She hangs on to him with her hand on his upper arm, his shoulder and nowhere to be seen in the space of three cuts. (00:46:05)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: Meg walks away from the other two on the beach. She reaches a step; there's a couple hanging out there. In the first shot the arm of the guy is on his lap, but seen from the front he has the hand on the step he is sitting on, and only then he raises it to his knee. (00:46:05)

Monte Carlo (2011)

Continuity mistake: On the beach, Emma makes a bit of a blunder with her "who died" comeback line, and awkward silence falls between the three girls. Grace turns around towards Meg who is leaving. The tip of Selena Gomez's ponytail flips above the shoulder when she turns; in the rest of the sequence some shots have her black hair above the shoulder, others no hair there, everything is behind her back.

Human Capital (2013)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the waiter is wheeling the cart out of the building. Two workers are loading the van, with Saman to order them around. One is wearing a hat, the other isn't. Hatless Guy walks out of the van first and is sprinting back towards the building, with Hat Guy noticeably behind, but in the next shot Fabrizio passes the cart to Hatless Guy and Hat Guy is already way past them both.

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Hugh brings Jay to the edge of the parking lot to show her "it", the naked woman "it" is shaped as is wearing flipflops, which she does not wear when she slowly walks on the platform. Quite the funny little off-camera wardrobe adjustment to make for a zombie-like supernatural entity on a path of death and destruction. (00:20:20)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: When Hugh turns around to take a look at the audience and spot Jay's pick, in the faraway shot his whole arm goes over the seat, hand with the soda included. The scene continues with the Hugh's drink always next to the popcorn as he is turned to different°. (00:10:30)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: Chilling on the couch watching a movie, Jay's friend farts. Obviously well practiced in the discipline, it takes her merely moments within the same shot to perform the necessary adjustments after the emission and place her index finger back on the dainty seashell lid of her media device. But in the next shot, as she proudly smiles basking in the warm glow of her successful feat, her finger is off the lid. (00:07:00)

It Follows (2014)

Continuity mistake: Jay is soaking in the pool. She drowns a bug that is on her arm. Behind her there's a can of soft drink with a straw sticking out and pointing towards the left. It stays that way until she floats on her back and there's a semi-POV shot with her toes sticking out. After that, the straw in the cola can is pointing towards the right for the rest of the scene. (00:05:00)

Continuity mistake: At the toll booth, Afonso does a thumb up sign to the operator, not knowing what he really said to his son about their ride. He is doing the gesture with his right hand, left hand, right hand again depending on the shot. (00:07:00)

La Vita facile (2011)

Continuity mistake: Dr. Mario Tirelli at the beginning of the movie enters the clinic where he works. A blonde woman walks in the opposite direction and exits through the door as Tirelli briefly hails a nurse. At the cut, Tirelli is in the same spot as before (nothing changes in the background) but the blonde is back and with still a way to go before the door, and the nurse is far back too, with the doctor's hand not moving to greet her, in a different take entirely. (00:03:00)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Regina is looking at pictures and messages on her phone. There's no solid continuity between close-ups and wider shots, with the hand position changing suddenly most times. (00:01:10)

Continuity mistake: Edmund and his business partner pull over in front of the hotel. They walk out of the car, and the woman is holding a clipboard in her left hand and her smartphone in her right. When they get through the hotel doors though, she is thumbing her phone in her left hand and the clipboard is now encased in a whole document folder she did not leave the car with, in her right hand. (00:02:40)
