Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: Eddie is taken into the staff room to be introduced to the team and on the wall there's a big digital clock, making rather obvious the various takes combined in editing, creating a bunch of errors in continuity. When Vance starts mocking Mason, the clock is on 8:48, going back to 8:47 when Mason stands up from the chair. Ruby enters the room and the clock flips from 8:47 to 8:48 at the very first cut. (00:15:00 - 00:16:00)

The Apartment (1960)
Continuity mistake: It was not a suicide attempt after all, and much relieved, CC grabs the bag of groceries to bring it inside the kitchen.

The Apartment (1960)

The Apartment (1960)

Continuity mistake: During the second round of drinks, the amount of ice left in the frozen daiquiri changes depending on the camera angle.

The Apartment (1960)
Continuity mistake: In the first elevator scene, when Shirley MacLaine calls the floor number (19), between her, Jack Lemmon and the wall there are a man with a fedora reading the New York Times, and a woman with a turban. When the elevator doors open and people come out of the cabin, the woman is nowhere to be seen. (00:17:05)

The Apartment (1960)
Continuity mistake: CC opens the door to Mr. Kirkeby who is back for the galoshes; you can see Jack Lemmon casting a pronounced shadow over the light switch by the door in the close-ups, but in the wider shots of the room Kirkeby is searching and then exits, that shadow is not showing, just one on the door itself. (00:06:45 - 00:07:30)

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)
Continuity mistake: In the first movie, it was explicitly stated that Reacher was sort of a ghost who was born in an army base somewhere and spent his entire career abroad; he entered United States "for only the second time in his life" (the first being West Point), to disappear living a life off the grid. In this movie, it turns out he had a cozy office (with the same desk as Major Turner's), and was stationed in DC.
