Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: Gale realised that Cotton is innocent, and she talks about it to the cameraman. In that part of the scene, the sun is on Kenny at a different angle in different camera angles (look at the reflection of the rays in his hair and jacket). (00:41:55)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: Inside Tatum's bedroom, Dewey tosses Sidney an ice pack for her sore hand. Look at Rose McGowan's left hand; she's holding the plush bunny in a different spot between shots. (00:37:00)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Sidney punches Gale in the face, she flies back against her cameraman that catches her putting his hand on her side under the armpit. In the next shot Kenny's hand is on the upper arm, and Gale is also already holding her cheek. (00:36:35)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: Tatum is growing impatient while Sidney is sitting in the police station waiting to be released, and she hurries her brother. In this sequence there is a blatant lack of continuity whenever the editing switches to reverse shots, as Rose McGowan's hand and Neve Campbell's movements don't match between angles. (00:35:25)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: The costume of Ghostface/Father Death is stuffed inside the plastic bag in two different ways in the shots when Sheriff Burke is checking it out - look at the bits coming out in the close-up. (00:35:05)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: Billy holds Sidney in his arms after the attempt at her life downstairs. She clings to him and pulls at his jacket, that is unperturbed in the close-ups on Skeet Ulrich. (00:29:55)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Sidney manages to kick Ghostface away after he has almost stabbed her behind the front door of her house, she sets up the kick shouting "no" and shielding herself with her left arm, but in the shot of the actual kick the stuntwoman's left arm is on the ground. (00:28:55)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: In class, the teacher tells Sidney "It appears to be your turn." One of her classmates, a girl with a grunge shirt, turns around to look at her, but in the next shot she's looking ahead. (00:18:55)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: In the close-up when she clutches Ghostface's mask, Casey's hand is significantly bloodier than in the rest of the scene and the sleeve that was creased down straightened itself, with a different bloodstain. (00:11:35)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Casey pops up to peek at the window and is face to face with the killer, she shakes with fear reacting very naturally, but in its close-up her left arm is sticking out perfectly steady and firm in an incredibly unnatural position, blatantly there holding still just so the killer can grab it. (00:10:20)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Casey peeks at the letter opener on top of the TV, her hair is on top of the cordless phone; in the shots from the side, before and after, her wig is pressed against her cheek and ear by the phone itself. (00:08:40)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: There's a close-up of Drew Barrymore's foot when she unplugs the lights when the killer is starting his trivia. She tosses the cable and plug blindly behind her. In the next shot, the plug is closer to her foot and the shadow resulting from the change in light is also different. (00:06:25)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: If you look at the close-up of Casey's hands when she locks the door, you can see her left arm in frame, but in the next shot she is holding the phone to her ear with it. Later on there's a mistake even more blatant as she unlocks momentarily the patio door to check on Steve; in close-up she uses her right hand, the killer reprimands her for the stupidity of the move, and she pulls back her left hand, as the right hand is once again the phone hand. (00:02:55 - 00:05:45)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

Continuity mistake: When the Ghostbusters approach the giant uterine slime cocoon to try to breach into the museum, there's a group of firemen to the right. The late arrival to this group brings an axe. Cut to a wide shot and the guy is not carrying the axe anymore. (01:24:05)

Scream (1996)

Continuity mistake: At the police station, Billy looks back with anger at Sidney after the sheriff tells him that they have to detain him until the phone records come in. The sheriff is looking at him with his arms crossed, but in the close up on Skeet Ulrich the sheriff's got his hands on his thighs. (00:34:10)

Continuity mistake: When Gwen nearly falls off her own flats trying to avoid Oscorp's cartoon security, Peter grabs her. She clings to her and her mug hand is against his arm. She says "Hi!" in the next shot and her arm is lowered. (01:09:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Enraged because Spidey is being filmed by cameras, and he is not (best villain motivation ever), Electro sends a wave of electricity towards him. Spidey jumps over police car 7703 (the one that he dented landing spine-first in it earlier) but the slow-motion sequence that follows takes place featuring car 1206. (00:56:40)
