Wax Doll Castle Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Miyuki tells Hajime that the winner of the contest will receive a castle, she's wearing a bag with a long and wide strap that happens to be colored exactly like her cyclamen shirt. In the rest of the scene she is carrying a pink and cream gym bag with short handles. (00:03:20)

Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: After they find out that the bridge has been destroyed, the survivors debate what to do. One of them mentions that it's suicide to go in the woods without a map. He does so getting in front of Kindaichi in the aerial shot, but he's behind him in the next shot. (00:14:50)

Hiren Lake Legend Murder Case: File 1 - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During dinner, the writer (Itsuki) approaches the artist (Kobayashi). The food in front of Kobayashi changes between shots; in the overhead shot of the table you could see just a small plate with two chopsticks, which change position in a later shot, with a beer glass added too. (00:10:00)

Academy's Seven Mysteries Murder Case: File 2 - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: One of the reporter's that act as audience and supporters for Makoto is quite recognizable because he's in the front line and wearing glasses. His jacket is reddish/maroon at first, but in the rest of the scene becomes purple/blue. It's not a matter of lighting or lack of detail when he is in the background/shadows, just compare it to the guy next to him wearing green to see it's a proper coloring mistake. (00:06:20)

Continuity mistake: When Venom delivers the mail to Eddie while making breakfast, the letters are angled differently in the various shots, in Venom's cute little pseudo-hand first, between Tom Hardy's big paws after. (00:23:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" scene, Eddie already poured the orange juice and put it down before Venom messes with the radio and fridge. We see then symbiote's tentacle pass in front of Eddie's hand, which is suspended in mid-air still pouring. Then we cut back to the original angle and Hardy is about to drink from the glass, the orange juice carton well set on the table. (00:23:05)

Continuity mistake: Venom 'saves' a woman that is being mugged; when they hold the evildoer upside down plotting to eat him, the woman witnesses the scene wide-eyed. Her necklace is in a different position between the background feature and the close-up on her. (00:16:40)

Continuity mistake: In the first "Present day" scene, the Ravencroft wardens enter Shriek's cell to feed her. She is lying on one side in the establishing dolly, and she's just lying on her back in the next shot. (00:04:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Young Shriek blows Young Detective Mulligan's eardrum (just one for some reason), he grabs his own ear clutching his fingers around it. In the next shot his hand is turned around in a different way. (00:02:45)

Continuity mistake: Callie finds the 'secret' (even if it's in plain sight, really) basement with Egon's stuff following the instrument she found in Phoebe's room. She has the tool with her, she does not have it with her when she is possessed, but it is back at the house when everyone else is home.

Suggested correction: Most likely, Egon's ghost returned the PKE Meter to the house, knowing how important it would be to help fight Zuul.

Continuity mistake: Phoebe and her mother are by the door of the farmhouse, waiting for the pursuing demons to appear. The shoulder strap of Callie's dress is lowered in most shots, but goes back up suddenly (and only) in an intermediate shot.

Ghostbusters (1984)

Continuity mistake: The silly bureaucrats cut power to the containment grid, which is about to blow up. Everyone runs away from the building; there are two main camera angles on the exterior, but they are obviously not in continuity - in the closer angle, natural light shines on the street to the right, while in the wider/higher angle that side of the building is in the shade. (01:07:50)

Eternals (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Gilgamesh hammers the Deviant into the gates of Babylon, dealing the last strike after the dramatic pose, the shadows cast by the statues don't go much further away than their pedestal. In the following long shot the 5 Eternals have a massive area of shade behind them that extends very far away from the city walls. (00:21:30)
