The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: During the party, the colonel expresses to Poirot his disappointment for the jazz record being played, music "from the inferior races." He puts a tart in his mouth, closing his lips past the piece of fruit. Cut to the wider shot, and he is still holding a tart that sports the strawberry he just chewed on. (00:19:00)

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: Poirot enters Japp's office when the inspector is dealing with the tribulations of modern machinery. As Poirot sits down, you can notice the crumpled paper by the phone being different in the reverse shot, when you can also see Japp's hand being at the corner of the typewriter. But he brings it up from his lap in the next shot. (00:38:15)

The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Poirot and Hastings are in front of the corpse at Marsdon Manor. When Miss Rawlinson makes her comment about him taking advice, she is almost with her back against Hastings and in a dramatic light totally different from what shown in establishing shot. (00:17:45)
28th Dec 2019
The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: In the flashback during Poirot's narration, the scene with Colonel Curtisstalking to the victim at the military club happens differently from the first time around, with Clayton switching hand position after a different line of dialogue, starting off in discontinuity with the previous shot (originally the continuity was flawless). (00:44:40)

The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: The morning after his arrival at the village, Poirot sits with Hastings for breakfast (prime minister Baldwin is mentioned on the radio). Hastings is holding the newspaper with his left hand and the right is on his knee. New shot and both hands are on the table. It keeps happening during the scene. (00:14:25)

The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: Poirot holds the widow's painting for Hasting and asks "You do not see?" In the reverse angle with Hastings (obviously) not seeing a thing, Poirot's hand in frame is holding the painting differently. (00:39:15)

The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: The car with Poirot and Hastings enters the village. Right as the camera begins to pan to the left, notice a woman with a maroon tailleur and a powder blue hat. She walks in the same direction of the car but turns around a moment later. Several seconds after, when we see the two protagonists in the car, the same woman can be seen amongst the passersby through the back window. (00:04:15)
27th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: Marta picks up the phone at the beginning of the movie. In close-up she is holding it with her left hand, but at the cut it switches to her right hand. (00:03:20)
27th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Marta is sitting at the kitchen table with her mom while her sister watches crime drama. The arm position of her mom keeps changing during the scene. When she says "Turn it off NOW" she has her elbow on the table leaning on, and then lowers it, still keeping it on the table. In the shots before and after both her arms are off the table. (00:03:00)
19th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: Ellen squeals, scared by the hot water bottle. Fellow hotel patrons poke their head in. A guy is the first and only one, but in the next shot a woman is next to him already. (00:31:00)
19th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: When Julie and Stuart have breakfast at the Waffle House, the position of the fork in her hand is inconsistent between shots, and so is whether it has food on it or not. (00:14:40)

The Robbery - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Jerry tells Elaine to "Do it in the shower", he gestures with his fancy retractable umbrella. But he is holding it by opposite ends in the two consecutive shots. (00:02:30)
19th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: Ellen's boyfriend across the phone call at the inn the second day is walking down a road, but 3 times is back at the same crossroads with a Christmas tree and a taxi. (00:33:15)
19th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: In Jerry's apartment at the beginning, Kramer hands Jerry the telephone. Jerry takes it with his right hand, but in the wide angle he is holding it in the left hand. (00:03:40)
18th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: When blood gushes out of the bullet wound during 05's introduction, in the first slo-mo the squirt goes diagonally across her eye. Then all that is left is a horizontal streak from the mouth. It is implied that between cuts she fit her glove by biting it, so the inconsistency can be explained (even if just a rushed wipe would hardly clean her completely). The real mistakes are: 1 - she has a dotted streak of blood before and after, entirely inconsistent with those close-ups, and 2 - when Ryan Reynolds and Dave Franco are talking about the 'squirting', you can see in the background Adria Arjona's face is totally clean. (00:07:55)
18th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: One baddie is chasing the 'ghosts' riding a motorbike. Ryan Reynolds announces that "He's got a gun." We do see him pull the gun out...but then he is riding gun-less as if it were never there. Of course he could have just pulled it out for no reason, and with the fast montage he could have put it back in his pants between shots. Problem is, when Two blows his brains out later, he is pointing the gun in one shot, and holding the brake with that same hand in the shot right after. (00:07:15)
18th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: During the "Baby! Baby!" scene, multiple flubs happen. To name a few; in the POV shot they are this close to hitting the woman with the baby, but she is at a greater distance right after; in one shot her bag is on the ground and not on her shoulder; two pigeons fly in front of her, but in another take one even connects with her hair; people watching horrified by the monument and in the piazza itself appear and disappear between shots, Ryan Reynolds is sticking his head out in close-ups but is nowhere to be seen in the other angles. Finally, plenty of skidmarks are already visible on the asphalt. (00:06:30)
18th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: When Rey receives the talisman from the young alien who asks her who she is, the chain sits on the collar of her vest differently between shots.
18th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: When Ellie is cleaning up the room, at the very beginning of the scene the candles on the table are close in the sideview and more far apart in the birdseye view. (00:37:10)
18th Dec 2019
Continuity mistake: Ellen and the charming taxi guy lift a blue robe of hers. The robe is more dirty with fake snow in the close-up than it was in the wider angle. (00:16:25)
