Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: Emily Boynton tells her lawyer to stop the affair with her daughter-in-law and leave.

Next shot, and there's no shadow. (00:19:15)
19th Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. King approaches Poirot with the scopolamine syrup, in close-up Ustinov's hand is a bit lower on the glass, and, the woman in the background, who had her hand up, has it down; not that she has a choice, since you can tell she is forced to keep firmly her hand down her side to hold in place her skirt (the wind would otherwise make it flap around all over the place). (00:17:55)

19th Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: When Miss Quinton finds her lost cigarette case, Dr. King in the background is laughing. She changes position, but in Poirot's reaction, which should be in perfect continuity since the quarrel does not pause, she is sitting with her arms perfectly still. (00:14:00)
19th Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)
Continuity mistake: Nadine reads Cope's inscription on the cigarette case in close-up. One of his fingers is on the right side of the box, and it's absent in the next angle. And when he closes it, Carrie Fisher's right hand which was lowered, is at bosom level. (00:12:00)
19th Mar 2022
Appointment With Death (1988)

14th Mar 2022
Ghostbusters (1984)
Continuity mistake: The lighting in the scene with Venkman stalking Dana outside the concert hall is inconsistent. For instance, when he quips "I've got hundreds of people dying to abuse me", Dana's stiff friend leans against a fountain that is bathed in sunlight. Mere moments later the section of the square is in the shade. (00:43:10)
