Bird of Paradise (1932)

Continuity mistake: The natives approach the ship; one in particular is shown swimming putting her feet right against the bow. One of the crew members pours their drink in the ocean; there's a sailor that walks behind him and makes a sharp left turn. Next shot, and the man is gone, but reappears a second later from the original starting point repeating the walk and turn. (00:05:30)

Continuity mistake: When Brooke Shields yells "Mommy said that you had to come home right this instant", there's a long lock of hair in front of her left shoulder, which disappears at the cut. (00:06:20)

Messiah of Evil (1973)

Continuity mistake: At the gas station, Arletty looks at the attendant discharging his gun in the nearby trees. In the next shots, she is holding her bag randomly with or without the shoulder strap up. (00:05:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The young 'au pair' does not have what it takes and resigns after falling into the fountain. As she speaks with the Caldwells, her wet hair is in front of her shoulders in a shot, in the reverse shot it is not, and so on. (00:04:20)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The movie begins with Joe Backett witnessing one of the many victories by swim star Eve Barrett. In the very first wide shot of the pool, Esther Williams is fitting her cap getting ready to compete. Cuts to a closer view, and she has a towel on her shoulders that she has to take off before fastening her cap. (00:01:45)

Deathfist 5: Major Crimes Unit - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: In the opening brawl, one of the bad guys grabs a wrench from the counter to use it against Sammo. However, the tool was on the counter in the previous shot (showing another baddie escaping) and it was lying in a different position. (00:01:40)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Aguilar is restless during the party, and he picks a tarot card from the table, which turns out to be Death arcane. In close-up the card is held by a single hand, but Frank Wolff is holding the card between both hands both before and after that shot. (00:42:20)

Why Me? (1990)

Continuity mistake: When Gatou Vardebedian is holding Gus Cardinale at gunpoint, the gun keeps changing position between shots (under his throat, by his nose...) and she is holding it straight or turned sideways. (00:13:00)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Polka-Dot Man hurts Starro's leg, its minions cry out in pain as well in unison, but they do it holding their knee or thigh in one shot, their ankle/calf in the next. (01:53:00)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Amanda Waller orders the blonde subordinate to "Open it", the digital clocks show the same times shown minutes earlier when they had yet to wake up, contact them, talk to them, order them to retreat, witness their change of mind. All of which certainly took longer than a minute. (01:46:45 - 01:49:35)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: After Waller issued her order to leave Corto Maltese to its fate, Bloodsport turns his back to Starro that is wrecking the city and walks towards the camera. Just a moment before the cut, Margo Robbie is shrugging, a gesture that is supposed to happen in the next shot, and she in fact repeats it in the next shot a second later. (01:48:30)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Seeing all the Starro drones being held captive in the "Dirty Little Secrets" section, Rick Flag says "Good God". Thinker replies "If God existed..." etc. During this sentence Flag lowers the gun slightly before the first cut, but the gun is angled higher as it cuts to Peter Capaldi and even higher in the wider shot. (01:23:05)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: The Corto Maltese Army is storming the pleasure district. As the camera pans from the club doors to the incoming vehicles, to the far left there's a john wearing a brown suit posing one-handed in front of a girl. In the wide shot from behind the trucks, you can see that a soldier pushes the guy back to the wall. But as their commander gets off the hum-vee and yells to search everywhere, the guy is standing in the corner, and at the next cut he's back against the wall. (01:01:45)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: For the early happy ending, Ellery Queen takes the jeweller by surprise giving him the pearl necklace, and the fella, incredulous, touches his breast. The hands swap position at the first cut. (00:07:25)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: Look at the overhead shot of the limo approaching the Presidential palace. The gates including the sandbags where military men are stationed are in the shade. We see then a valet open the door for Margot Robbie, and the spot is in the sun. (00:41:35)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Continuity mistake: When Harley bursts out in a Mario Kart-themed insult at the Cortomaltesians, the braid in front of her shoulder is the left one and not the right one. (00:41:00)
