The Tiger Mask (2013)

Continuity mistake: Young Dan and Jo are fighting over their meal. The position of the tray on the table changes several times, most noticeably when Dan leaps off the table. Moreover, when he returns to it after he jumped off the bed, the tray is empty minus a little red berry, but it still had rice and other food on it earlier. (00:18:30)

The Tiger Mask (2013)

Continuity mistake: The children are fighting the blindfolded trainee. He stops short of punching one of them in the face. Reaction shots on the three kids, and the middle one crosses his arms, only to show up with the arms uncrossed in the next shot, just like he was in the previous from the same angle. (00:16:40)

Ride Lonesome (1959)

Continuity mistake: Sam Boone walks Ben Brigade to the horses holding his rifle, and they have a bit of a chat by and about the captive Billy. During this scene, the handkerchief at Randolph Scott's neck waves like mad in the wind over his shoulder under one camera angle, and it is still and in front of the chest in the other. (00:09:30)

Firepower (1993)

Continuity mistake: The two buddies are eating and listening to the exposition news item about the "Zone of Personal Freedom." In the last part of the scene ("Who do you suppose are gonna call to clean that up?" the straw inside Chad McQueen's milkshake keeps swapping position between the middle and the rim of the glass.

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 2 - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: Lee's men are chasing Kindaichi that just escaped from the air conditioning vent. In one shot (the one with the camera behind the two guys) the policeman wearing the white shirt has the earpiece on the wrong ear - left ear, while he wears it on the right ear in the rest of the scene. (00:09:00)

The Death March of Young Kindaichi File 1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: Inside the hotel room, the three guys from 18 years prior receive a macabre gift. The one in the grey suit opens the box, and the knuckles of the severed hand are pointed towards him. In the last shot of the table though, the hand is turned the other way around. (00:08:15)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: Holland is telling Jackson about the case and how his client thinks she saw her niece drive away. He punctuates this statement gesticulating with his right hand (the fit one, holding the cigarette) but in the reverse shot he's using the hand in the cast, the left. (00:24:40)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: The writing on the cow post-it is different from the first time we see it to the time when Healy checks it out later (the most immediately noticeable difference being the length of the prime in the 'six feet' notation). (00:07:50 - 00:12:25)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: When Jackson checks out the note in front of March's house, he holds it in the 'front' of the cow, but in close-up his thumb is between the cow's legs. (00:12:25)

The Nice Guys (2016)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: When March nearly kills himself punching the door, the hole in the glass changes between shots; there's next to no glass left at the top of the panel he punched, then it grows back a couple inches. (00:09:50)

The Nice Guys (2016)

Continuity mistake: Jackson Healy takes the envelope from Amelia and begins counting the money. She eases the grip on the wheel in the side view, but she's again clenching it tight in the frontal view. Moreover, when he tells her she's short, she has just one hand on it; cut away a second, and she's again with the same grip as the previous part of the scene, showing two separate takes edited together. (00:07:50)
