Continuity mistake: Once Poirot hypothesises that the lightbulb could have been replaced, he curls back his finger pointed at the young fellas. New shot, and he is back pointing fingers. (00:18:45)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: When cousin Guy tells Miss Fisher "You like your meat tender too", Isabella is sipping from the drink she lowered in the previous shot. (00:32:00)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Four and Twenty Blackbirds - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: Hastings carries the picture of the two brothers from Dulce to Poirot holding it by the bottom, top, side, depending on the angle. (00:13:45)
5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher asks Dot to help her get out of jail, she is holding on to the bars in the close-up, but not in the wider angle. (00:34:10)
5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher as Cleopatra loosens Jack's tie, what remains of the knot is different in the separate shots. (00:38:25)
5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher tends to the fatal wound of the victim, she slips one glove off, using it to plug the hole in his chest. She suddenly then has both gloves off. Even assuming the montage implies a lengthier amount of time elapsed, when she takes the box from the dying guy her hand is all bloodied up, but it shows much cleaner in the following shot. (00:03:40)

Tooth Fairy (2010)
Continuity mistake: When the Rock enters the first kid's room, pay attention to the blue building block on the floor and how it is turned. Just for the shots where the cat arrives and The Rock has to hide behind it, the block rotated 90°. It goes back to how it was a moment later, otherwise the curved path would not face the door and the Rock couldn't fly towards the door. (00:33:30 - 00:36:15)
5th Sep 2019
Tooth Fairy (2010)
Continuity mistake: Right as The Rock lands in the Tooth Fairy world for the first time in his dazzling tutu, one of the first fairies that cross his path is a black fairy, moving from what would be The Rock's right to his left. In the next shot he's all the way to the Rock's right. In general in the scene there's a lot of extra recycling, a Hispanic fairy with heavy makeup and big cheekbones, quite recognizable, that keeps advancing behind The Rock without ever really moving. (00:11:55)

Tooth Fairy (2010)
Continuity mistake: The Rock is goofing around with his fiancee's little girl playing a vampire. Randy scoffs and goes to open the fridge. In the first shot he's reaching for both doors, in the closer shot he is opening just one, brief cutaway shot and then he's re-opening the same door. (00:05:35)

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: During the interrogation of Mr. Rogers, the distance between the trumpet and the mute constantly changes between shots. And when he says "So what? Doesn't prove a thing!", Miss Fisher is holding her hand on top of the mute, instead of having her arms folded. (00:49:40 - 00:51:00)
5th Sep 2019
Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017)
Continuity mistake: Gargamel finds out of the smurf he captured is Smurfette. She grabs the bars of the cage, but the position of the door hinges changes, switching from her right to her left, back and forth. (00:13:35)
5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: When the two blokes who help Miss Fisher are playing darts, the close-up shows the dart sticking really close to the left line of the segment. When Miss Fisher is nearly impaled by Bert's off-target projectile, the dart on the board is better centered. (00:15:25)
5th Sep 2019
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (2012)
Continuity mistake: The victim in the close-up is dead with his hand under the bathroom table. But he was seen in the previous shot exhaling his last breath in front of it, with no contact at all with the wooden leg. And as crude as the chalk outline on the bathroom floor is, it is more consistent with that sort of distance and position. (00:00:50 - 00:06:50)

Jessica Jones (2015)
Continuity mistake: As Jessica rips the phone receiver off, in the background Luke can be seen already breaking the bottle and punching the guy as he is shown doing later. If you think this can be somehow justified as an editing trick to show something happening simultaneously, it's not: Jessica witnesses the jealous husband breaking a bottle on Luke's head, but in similar fashion when she has to turn and dodge the punch of the guy who calls her a "psycho", there it is, the bottle-breaking bit happening in the background, behind her. (00:36:00)

Jessica Jones (2015)
Continuity mistake: Jessica is sorting the material for her investigation: when you see her lay down on the table a paper with a yellow sticker on top, look at her reach for the glass. On the table now in front of her there's a pile of pictures just as the scene started. Back to the overhead shot, and papers and pictures are arranged again neatly, including the yellow post-it. (00:17:00)
5th Sep 2019
Fist Fight (2017)
Continuity mistake: As students are watching porn, Strickland struts his way down the school corridor through jumpcuts. Some extras in the background have poses radically different nobody could switch to without reason, like this blonde guy who is turned the other way and that suddenly is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed while Strickland has barely walked one step. (00:01:35)
5th Sep 2019
Jessica Jones (2015)
Continuity mistake: Jessica at the beginning of the episode smashes her aggressive client head first through her door's glass panel. The pictures she took for him are shown slowly floating in the air. However in the close-up of the floor, the shattered glass is all scattered on top of the pictures. (00:02:25)
5th Sep 2019
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990)
Continuity mistake: A member of the poetry club responds to Will's "You're a poet and you don't know it!" with a sassy "I -AM - a poet and I -DO - know it" in a close-up. In said close-up, she is holding her hand on a book, while in the shots before and after, her arm is in a different position. (00:06:30)
5th Sep 2019
Observe and Report (2009)
Continuity mistake: Ronnie and "Saddamn" are in the middle of the mall trading f-bombs: throughout the scene there are often inconsistencies regarding the position of various people walking by. It's especially noticeable when in some shots the corridors are crowded with people walking or slowly pushing strollers, but after a quick cut suddenly everyone has disappeared. (00:21:00)
5th Sep 2019
Observe and Report (2009)
Continuity mistake: Ronnie approaches Brandi (and incidentally, Bruce) with the excuse to talk about the perv. During the conversation, behind Brandi a woman dressed in black appears and disappears a few times, same as a woman with a white and green shirt who is leaving but comes back just a couple of shots later. (00:04:50 - 00:06:20)
