Continuity mistake: At Club Hell, Marcus is fighting with the flashily dressed bandit, Casper. Meanwhile, sharing screen time with Will Smith, a foot with red varnish on the toes. Cut to Martin Lawrence getting choked, and back to Will Smith. The foot now has no painted toenails. One could assume that since it's off-screen, more than a stripper was on stage. Mike is looking to his left both times though, and the girl that we don't see is lying down. Two performers would have to be crawling on top of each other. (01:07:40)

Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: During the fight scene inside the bathroom of Club Hell, the biker dude throws Marcus against the second-to-last mirror, breaking it. He then does it again... again against the second-to-last mirror. That is back whole, shattering it again. A huge chunk of it, practically the whole right half of it, comes off. But in the next shot, there's a small hole only, same when you see it in the background later. The closer look at the mirror that breaks much more probably is supposed to be the one that Marcus breaks off-camera with the cabinet. (01:07:10)

Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: Marcus is showing mugshots to Julie on the computer. He gets on the mugshot of a "Trafficante, Noah," which turns out to be the right guy. He already hit "next," though, and the picture of a "Catrini, Robert" starts appearing. Julie tells him, "Go back, go back." Marcus is already on the profile of a "Leachman, Todd," but a single click brings him back to Trafficante. Catrini disappeared. Funnily enough, in a later flashback (when Julie, at home, holds a gun apparently for the first time and decides to go to Club Hell and see if she can single-handedly take on the Mob) the pictures are in the right order; Catrini came back. (00:55:55)

Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: Running suspect pictures, Tea Leoni tells Marcus that he's eating "flesh." Martin Lawrence's fingers change position on the sandwich between shots almost constantly throughout the scene. (00:54:25)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: Inside Mike's apartment, Julie asks Fake Mike who is the guy in all those pictures. In close-up, you can see some frames have been readjusted to look better; look at the ornate silver frame next to the picture of Mike with a basketball. The two frames were a couple of inches apart; now they are closer. (00:53:25)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: On the basketball court, Mike shows off nailing a three-pointer on his first try when the captain couldn't land any. When he looks at Will Smith's ball flying over him and into the basket, the captain has a cigar in his mouth, but Joe Pantoliano in the reaction shot that follows has none. (00:50:45)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: Marcus ends the phone call with Julie, saying, "Mike to the rescue." He suddenly has his left hand on the microphone. (00:35:00)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: There's a rubber flower (a toy sunflower with sunglasses) on Mike's desk. When Captain Howard answers the phone, it goes from fully straight and vertical to hunched over as the shot changes. Throughout the whole duration of the scene, the flower is straight in the wider shots with Pantoliano standing by the desk, and 'wilted' when the framing is focused on Martin Lawrence. (00:33:20)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: Inside the Al Capone suit, Captain Howard asks the Bad Boys who the guy on the chair is. "Eddie Dominguez," says one. The captain is chewing gum, arms down at his side. In what's supposed to be an immediate follow-up, Martin Lawrence adds, "Yeah, the ex-cop." Joe Pantoliano in the foreground is taking a puff from a cigar instead. (00:29:05)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Martin Lawrence is under the desk with the rotting corpse on top, on the couch behind him there is a document with a slight pink hue. The document is straight throughout the scene, except for the shot when Lawrence gets up, when it's tilted. (00:20:10)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Mike is being randomly racist against the two Hispanic cops in front of the police locker, Will Smith's hands are close to his body, thumbs up, and he is half a step behind Martin Lawrence. One of the cops answers him with a "yo mama" joke, but in the foreground Will Smith's hands are in a different position and Lawrence is more distant from him and slightly behind. (00:13:50)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: At the breakfast table, Marcus asks Mike, "Why you put me in this, man?" His son is picking a bit of food from the plate. The phone rings across the camera cut, and the sentence continues ("I'm with my babies"), but the kid's hand is off the table by his hip. He's back chewing on the food, with that hand raised only when, a few seconds later, the exact camera angle from before is used again. (00:11:35)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Marcus is trying to convince his wife to give him some in the morning so he can be lighter on his feet, Martin Lawrence is sprawled with his left arm over the pillows in close-up, but in the wider angle he is in a much more normal position with his arm by his torso. (00:10:10)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: In his first scene with Marcus and his wife, the lighting on them changes constantly between shots, and the same can be said for the position of Theresa Randle's hands on Martin Lawrence. (00:09:30)
7th Jan 2025
Bad Boys (1995)
Continuity mistake: When Martina Lawrence calls the bulky carjacker on his side a "big Popeye chicken-eating motherf…," the gun popping in frame from the top is held by a left hand. When the scene is shot with the camera on Will Smith's side, the guy is holding his gun with the right hand. It switches again, left or right depending on the camera angle used. (00:02:35)
6th Jan 2025
Saturday Night (2024)
Continuity mistake: When a frustrated Lorne Michaels starts tearing apart the overcrowded board with too many sketches, in the first shot he claws out the lower half of the leftmost column, below "Commercial #1." In the next shot, though, the board is still fully stocked with post-it notes, and he tears them down in a different order. (01:13:30)
6th Jan 2025
Saturday Night (2024)
Continuity mistake: After the scene with the elevator bringing up the bricks, Garrett Morris and Jane Curtin are having a chat, smoking together. Garrett asks, "You wonder exactly what it is you are doing here?" As he asks that, Kim Matula is leaning her head against her hand. The shot changes and it is dangling off the railing. (00:40:00)
6th Jan 2025
Immaculate (2024)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Gallo is doing an echo on the pregnant Cecilia after she was assaulted in the baths, the cord of the probe is on either side of his hand depending on the shot. (00:40:20)
6th Jan 2025
Immaculate (2024)
Continuity mistake: Sister Cecilia is lying on the medical bed as the pregnancy is discovered. Father Sal Tedeschi whispers, "He believes you," as the cardinal says that it's a miracle. Álvaro Morte's hand is touching Sydney Sweeney's veil. She does not move her head in the reverse angle, but when we get back to the previous, the hand of the padre is far more distant. (00:35:50)
6th Jan 2025
Maschile Plurale (2024)
Continuity mistake: Antonio visited his ex at his new educational centre. He confesses his hopes to his female friend, who tells him it's a bad idea. During this scene, Michela Giraud's hands change position noticeably between shots, sometimes during mid-sentence cuts. (00:24:00)
