Shattered (1991)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie, the villain's car flies off a cliff and explodes, rolling belly up completely. A minute later, the helicopter flies by for the end credits, and the car is now flipped almost 180°, just tilted to the side. (01:31:20)

Ben Is Back (2018)

Continuity mistake: The scene after the one where Ben makes his special sandwich begins with Holly preparing bedazzled wings for her younger daughter. The actress raises her left hand to cover her mouth, but in the next shot it's the right hand instead. (00:16:50)

Maggie Moore(s) (2023)

Continuity mistake: When Maggie's husband talks to the killer for a hit on Maggie II, watch as he switches the TV off; his left sleeve is down, then it's rolled up to his elbow again by the time he sets the remote down. Both sleeves change slightly the way they are rolled during the scene, but that's the most noticeable instance by far. (00:33:00)

Maggie Moore(s) (2023)

Continuity mistake: When Jay asks Tommy T. about the moldy baloney, he is holding it with his right hand, both hands, right hand, both hands again. (00:03:20)

Maggie Moore(s) (2023)

Continuity mistake: Police Chief Jordan Sanders is looking for Jay Moore to tell him about his wife's apparent demise. Nosy neighbour Rita Grace invites him over to grab a bite. During this dinner scene, Tina Fey's fork carries food or not depending on the camera angle. (00:25:00)

Maggie Moore(s) (2023)

Continuity mistake: After the scene at the police station where the police chief tells his deputy about the cheesecake incident, Rita says hi to her neighbour Maggie, who is leaving for work. Maggie tells her that she and Jay are not going to be together anymore. Her hand changes position on top of the car door and suddenly is off the door entirely. (00:19:00)

Mystic Pizza (1988)

Continuity mistake: When Charles asks Daisy if she can play pool, she grabs the cue stick from him. Cut to him, cut back to her, and her hands are positioned noticeably higher on the stick than before, even if she didn't move. (00:17:50)

True Confession (1937)

Continuity mistake: Helen Bartlett is on the phone with her friend Daisy, who says she can't join her but is conned into leaving her workplace by Carole Lombard faking suicide. During the scene, Una Merkel's desk is arranged differently depending on the camera angle; a closer angle has room for just the telephone, while in the wider angle she also has a notebook in front of her. (00:06:50)

Continuity mistake: Isabelle Huppert managed to blackmail the two main characters into at least getting some tasty sausages, for a start. She takes a bite of one, dripping with mustard. In the reverse shot, the wiener is whole and dry. (01:17:25)

Continuity mistake: When Anita Delon smells the special perfume her brother-in-law had made for Martha, Susan Strasberg's hair is on/off the side of her neck in the different shots. (00:28:20)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: In the glimpse of the last trial, the bailiff says, "All rise," as Judge Pincus walks in, and people behind the prosecution bench take the instruction all too zealously as they do it twice - in different ways. Check out the guy with a jacket on his arm next to the woman in red - in separate shots. (01:48:20)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: When Crawford sees Willy out after telling him to get the eff out, Hopkins turns towards the door, fully lit. He then peeks out of the door, now showing a more dramatic shadow on it. (01:47:50)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: In Willy's flashback when he speaks to Crawford for the denouement, his SPH-a900 flip phone and Flores' swap position compared to how the actual scene went. Just look at the position of the three buttons; the buttons of Beachum's faced him originally, they face Flores when he grabs it by mistake in the flashback. (01:37:55 - 01:41:55)

Fracture (2007)

Fracture mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Willy rings Crawford's doorbell, notice a white control panel below the CCTV screen. Hopkins then answers the door in a different shot, with the panel missing. The panel was always there during his earlier scene with Nunally, and it is still there for the rest of the scene, missing again only in a later zoom-in on the monitor as Crawford checks on the prosecutor. Probably those were later reshoots. (01:39:25)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: Crawford taunts Beachum, waking him up by his comatose wife's hospital bed. Beachum slides his left hand under the jacket he had draped over himself, but in the next shot, his hand is raised. (01:27:05)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: Beachum and Flores are looking at the security camera footage from Nov 10. Willy enhances the picture (the mouse pointer gets gigantic along with the picture, funnily enough), but when it cuts to a different angle, the image is zoomed out again, only to be zoomed in again a few seconds later when Willy angrily throws his bag across the room. Nobody touched the PowerBook during any of that. (01:13:45)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: Lobruto asks Beachum, "You want it back?" after telling him the high stakes of staying committed to the case. Gosling nods, hand over his mouth in close-up. In the wider angle of the room, his hand is on his knee. (00:57:45)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: When Willy opens the box with the eggshells Crawford sent him to taunt him, the cardboard flaps have been properly spread out for the close-up instead of being partially up like they were before. In the same close-up, he also pulls out a broken bit that loses the straw that was covering it, but in the next shot featuring Ryan Gosling's face, a straw wrapped on top of the broken eggshell falls off it anyway. (00:56:10)

Fracture (2007)

Continuity mistake: When Willy says "I don't know" to the judge's question about Nunally being present at the interrogation, Ryan Gosling changes position all of a sudden, from tucking his chin between thumb and fingers to having his knuckles against the side of his mouth. (00:49:45)
