Continuity mistake: When Dana tries to take Oscar back from the museum on her own, the cloth on top of the pillow where Oscar is resting goes from crumpled to straight. (01:18:20)

Other mistake: Richard Parker is running away from Oscorp after triggering an alarm at either 6:30 or 9 PM - the movie is contradictory on which one. He goes home to quickly pack and get his son, and then goes to his brother's place to dump him there. The next scene shows him and his wife discussing the situation, including where to spend the night; they are mid-flight to Wisconsin and it's daylight.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Mary and Richard Parker says goodbye to their son, the scene is similar but also different from the previous movie; she delivers her line with a calmer voice and doesn't stroke his hair in the jittery nervous way of the original. The dad's farewell to Peter is also longer and here they touch hands. (00:02:25)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Revealing mistake: With his unexplained amazing pyrotechnic and telekinetic powers Vigo lights up the Ghostbusters' dark room and traps them locking the door. Winston barges in and luckily his very mundane fire extinguisher easily puts down the hellish supernatural flames; it's so effective that it also extinguishes the flames in the foreground without him ever pointing the thing at them. (00:57:30)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Continuity mistake: Tully is chasing Janine after she wished him goodnight. When the camera cuts closer to them, the cars parked on the sidewalk change abruptly, and they get back to the same models only at the end of the scene when someone honks a horn at him and the camera switches back to the original angle. (00:55:35)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Revealing mistake: Janine is wrapping up work at the phone and puts a cover on the computer screen. The monitor is plugged in, but the desktop is not. (00:55:20)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Continuity mistake: While Peter is doing his pantomime with Vigo's painting saying "Walk for me talk for me, yeah!" you can see Dan Aykroyd stiffening on the ladder, acting as if Ray suddenly got possessed/mesmerized by Vigo. In the close-up that follows we see the process happening in a different and more gradual way. (00:51:40)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Other mistake: Dana leaves her home in such a hurry that she does not even put anything on her baby in the middle of December. She shows up at Peter's home, he phones Ray who then rushes out of the door saying he's gonna check Dana's apartment. Peter tells Dana that Ray is going to check her apartment, but their phone convo ended way before Ray had taken that decision, and he has no contact with the others till morning when they meet at the museum.
Suggested correction: Dana easily could have grabbed something that was laying on a table or piece of furniture that was on her way as she was running out of her apartment to dress Oscar in, or a good Samaritan could have given something as she made her way to Venkman's place. And Ray tells Venkman on the phone that he is going to check Dana's apartment.

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Continuity mistake: Janosz interrupts Dana and Peter talking about the Gaugain; behind him there are a man and an elderly lady passing by. Cut to Sigourney Weaver, and in the next shot the two people practically haven't moved. (00:43:10)

Ghostbusters 2 (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Ray screams at the slime that "YooOOOuuUUU take the cake" his wrists in the background are crossed and the watch is visible. Cut, and his hands are joined and the wristwatch concealed. (00:39:45)

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Plot hole: The crux of the plot (one of the many plotlines, that is) is that Harry Osborn hates Spider-man because he refused to help him when he is quickly dying of the same genetic disease that killed his father. You can see the problem in this sentence already; he is a teenager, but he's dying super-quickly (he already has a large ulcer on his neck) of a disease that didn't bother him with severe symptoms before and that took away his father at 63. No reason is given of this sudden outburst in Harry's case, in fact nobody even acknowledges that such a difference exists.

Gun x Sword (2005)
Other mistake: In the sequence with Love Delux destroying the hotdog stand, notice that the sign is crudely drawn and does not resemble the look of the stand. It even says "Hot DOC" (00:06:30)
3rd Feb 2022
Gun x Sword (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Wendy trips the clumsy robber, notice that in close-up she has a grip to the edge of the seat and the trolley is sticking out from behind the booth, but in the wider angle her fingers are not visible and the trolley is entirely covered and wouldn't be visible. (00:04:35)

Tsuinzu gâdo - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: Carmen99 and Wendy are in the bedroom while Van is chasing Ray. In the first shot there's nothing on the table save for Carmen's glass, but immediately after there's a chest on it too. (00:10:40)

Gun x Sword (2005)
Tsuinzu gâdo - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: The sister who hired Ray is telling her assistant that finally the balance appears to be tipped in their town. She does so while handling a vial roughly 2/3 full with a green liquid. As she glances back at the photograph, the vial is almost entirely full. (00:08:30)

Gun x Sword (2005)
Continuity mistake: Chizuru's daughter tells Wendy that she can read one of her books; between shots, Wendy is holding the encyclopedia with her fingers positioned at different height. (00:08:50)

Gun x Sword (2005)
Continuity mistake: Tired of the old men's tirades, a group of young whippersnappers shouts at them. Look at the one with the bowler hat; suddenly a glass is in his hand at the first cut, and the bottle next to him faces the opposite way. (00:05:50)
3rd Feb 2022
Gun x Sword (2005)
Continuity mistake: Van fills to the brim the plate of fries with honey, which spills on the table. The table is honey-less afterwards, but let's make it slide because of the comical exaggeration; still the plate shows all the honey throughout the scene except when one of the old men pushes it away to put the big plate of tacos; part of the original plate is still in frame and the honey is gone. (00:04:40)

Scream 2 (1997)
Trivia: During the theater play scene, one of the film technicians in charge of the fake smoke nearly got asphyxiated working with the dry-ice in the enclosed space of the orchestra pit as he lost the mask he needed to breathe. The incident caused a turmoil on set with everyone rushing to help him, and an ambulance was needed, but everyone ultimately was fine. Anecdote narrated by Wes Craven in the DVD commentary track.

Ghostbusters (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Slimer flies off after Ray shot towards him the first time, the cart rolls away; you can see that the champagne bucket was not knocked down by the messy explosion. When the cart crashes in the wall, the bucket enters the frame already lying horizontally. (00:33:10)
