Continuity mistake: At the end of the early scene with the homeless guy, Maura gets told to 'eff off' by the not-so-homeless lady. In the shot where the four letter word is pronounced, there's no sun directly hitting the banner and the area with tables, as opposed to the previous and following shot. (00:01:50)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher is on her knees by the burial site of her sister, the ribbon in her possession is quite different from the one seen at the beginning of the series, which was worn out, with no hint of the shape and color of the blue one shown in this episode and the previous.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Dot is holding Hugh at gunpoint, Hugo Johnstone-Burt is holding a pencil between his thumb and middle finger only when shot from the front with Dot's hands in the foreground. He never has it in the angle behind him, or wider shots. (00:34:40)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: As the the first conversation between Miss Fisher and her cousin's belle begins, when she mentions "That dazzling party in Charing Cross" she has her hand on the newspaper, but it is on her shoulder at the cut. And then Miss Fisher puts a hand above the hip, changing position at the following cut as well. (00:08:00)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)

Continuity mistake: Miss Fisher as 'Fern' is posing as the magician's assistant. He does the (supposedly, before the man in the crowd calls out 20 as grand finale) last throw successfully and walks up to her to retrieve the knives. They are obviously positioned differently between shots. (00:30:30)

Arthur (2011)

Continuity mistake: Arthur is talking to the police, posing as Naomi's fiance: one of the cops asks, ridiculing her lie, "You had your first date at Grand Central Station?" Behind him, a white haired man in a black suit walks down the street carrying a brown suitcase. Next time the policemen are in frame, a different crowd is on the sidewalk, and only after another cut, and more of Arthur's blabbering, suitcase man reappears as if nothing happened. Even better, over half a minute passes and many totally different people...but right at the end of the scene as the policemen wave Arthur goodbye the same man, sans suitcase this time, is there again walking the same way as before. (00:19:45 - 00:20:30)

Snitch (2013)
Continuity mistake: In the first meeting with the dealer, he asks The Rock to do the first drug run himself, saying "Everybody know what game Malik in. We need to see if you for real first." These two sentences span across two shots: in the first one he is pointing at The Rock with his rosary hand, the left, while in the second it's the cigarette hand, the right, that is he waving. (00:40:00)

The Lamp (2011)

Continuity mistake: Stan is sitting at his desk listening to the answering machine messages and failing to do anything productive. During the whole scene, the handle of his mug switches orientation, pointing at him in every faraway shot, pointing to his left in every closer shot. (00:04:25 - 00:05:30)

Wheels on Meals (1984)
Continuity mistake: Thomas comes back to the food truck after tripping. The biker gang leader kicks back the skateboard. You can see there's nothing on the counter in front of David, but when Thomas puts down the tray (should have been trays since he had 2), there's a coke paper cup instead. (00:16:44)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: When David tosses the skateboard to Thomas so he can start taking orders and serving clients, Thomas backflips onto it. You can see behind him a veggie stand with 2 customers, that have completely disappeared in the shot when he lands on the skate. (00:13:15)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: Yuen Biao by mistake splashes the policeman with his bucket. Behind the officer, the van has very little soapy foam left over the store logo. But once the policeman smears his face with the greasy rag, the quantity of soap has increased, effectively blocking out of the writing. (00:06:12)

Couples Retreat (2009)
Continuity mistake: Dave is annoyed by his wife and friends not treating him like a shark attack survivor, and gets up and leave. When the whole table is in frame Kirsten Bell is drinking from her big glass, but the glass is firmly set on the table in the following shot.

Couples Retreat (2009)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the fish-feeding exercise, Jason Bateman sniffs his fingers and tosses the chum into the sea. Next shot and he has a couple of fishes in hand, and then switches again between a hand in the water or a hand on the buoy holding the live bait.

Couples Retreat (2009)

Continuity mistake: When the daughter of Lucy and Joey agrees to go change her skimpy clothes, there's a single shot of the whole room where Kristin Davis is wearing her hair over her right shoulder. Throughout the rest of the scene, before and after, her hair is worn all the way over the left shoulder.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: Dot is going through the agony aunt mail: she mentions the woman with 9 kids who does not want to deny her hubby, and you can distinctly see her put back on the table her left hand, holding a letter. Cut, and that hand is now hovering above the table. (00:19:55)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: During Miss Fisher's conversation with John/Giovanni/Miss Greenthumbs in the building stairway, when she asks him about Artemis he inhales from the cigarette.

CHIPS (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Ponch is texting just before Face Time starts, the battery power of his phone is at 21%. The camera begins rolling and on the side you see the charge being suddenly at 36% when the toes are in frame, 37% when the knees, panties and breasts are in view for the first time, 35% for the second boob shoot and 36% again for the last bit. (01:14:25)

CHIPS (2017)
Continuity mistake: Jon fell over on the rainy day and he can't get up. When he blindly goes for his phone, clothes he had on the bedstand (and that he could have put on) disappear between shots, and when he knocks the magazine off the bedstand and the pillow underneath, there is no trace of the tube that is instead perched on it later in the scene. (00:46:10)
12th Sep 2019
CHIPS (2017)

Continuity mistake: Jon is scarfing down a burger at the Tommy's kiosk while Ponch is jerking off in the bathroom. He gets a mess of mustard all over the shirt, down to the belt, and to the pants. The pants stain vanishes right away for the remainder of the scene (but shows up later in another scene). (00:35:40)
12th Sep 2019
CHIPS (2017)

Continuity mistake: When Jon talks to his ex in the pool, she wringing her hair in a ponytail in front of her left shoulder, several times, but in the reverse shot it's like it never happens, the hair every time is still and not being pulled or raised. (00:35:00)
