Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the protagonists get in the office to talk to his client at the beginning of the movie, he's holding the bag one way outside the door, the other way around when he walks in.

Kommando Leopard (1985)

Revealing mistake: During the opening assault, notice that the sandbags of the enemy fortifications are more like fluffy pillows; they are squashed under a single person leaning on the bank, and they wobble and nearly fall over when Carrasco himself brushes the hip against them walking by. (00:04:30)

Sammo

Plot hole: During the whole movie, the killer is supposed to wear a mask with the semblance of someone else, but the murder scenes have enough of a bright lighting for us to tell it's a real actor's face. Besides, the eye colours do not match.

Foxtrap (1986)

Other mistake: The end credits are plagued by the biggest compilation of spelling mistakes you'll ever see. The French cast in particular has 2 out of 2 actors with their names wrong (PallarOy instead of PallarDy, a female, Danièle, turned into a male Daniel) and so many errors in the technical cast to make some of them impossible to identify.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie (until Wasson's name appears in the credits), James Madison is writing on a paper copying from a large tome. Two people enter the room carrying a trunk. When he stands to go open the trunk and check its contents we can see that the book is gone from the desk. However, we see it again a minute later...when he picks it from those in the trunk and brings it to the desk. The first shot was a repurposed one. (00:00:50)

Ryeong (2004)

Continuity mistake: When the protagonist goes to the mental institution and meets her former classmate now plagued by asthma and violent overacting, a wisp of hair on the forehead changes position between shots a couple times during the scene without her touching it or moving. (00:46:25)

Fast & Furious 9 (2021)

Fast & Furious 9 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the first face-off between Jakob and Dominic, Letty's bike lies on the ground facing opposite directions depending on the camera angle. (00:21:40)

Sammo

Revealing mistake: When the protagonist jumps two of the evil cowboys that are after his jewels, the stuntman on the right tosses aside the rifle in a quick deliberate move pretending to lose it. (00:10:25)

The Tree (2010)

Continuity mistake: When Charlotte Gainsborough has a meltdown telling the younger kid to remove the toy guitar, the kid is holding the toy differently between shots. (00:17:20)

Fast & Furious 9 (2021)

Deliberate mistake: The F&F series always shows some amazingly advanced (and unlikely) technology; in this movie there is a big usage of electromagnets that are nothing short of miraculous. Not only they have a strength that would require them to have generators tens of times bigger than the cars they are on, and repel with the same ease as they attract; they also attract objects with varying° of precision and direction, all by turning their simple dial.

Fast & Furious 9 (2021)

Other mistake: Towards the end of the end credits there's a "Special thanks" sections, including sponsors such as Fiat Chrysler etc. The first person thanked is "Leslie Finaly", a misspelling of "Leslie Finlay." (02:22:30)

The Cousin (1974)

Continuity mistake: Nini's mother fishes the telephone out of the bathtub. A naked little boy prances around the room and Christian De Sica is in a quite recognizable position, leg up scrubbing the sole of his foot. Cut, and De Sica is now simply sitting in the tub as if nothing happened. (00:22:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The old man in the hotel lobby pulls the flowers out of the megaphone and calls the protagonist. She lowers the headset to talk to him. The left speaker is all the way across the opposite side of the neck in the first shot, less shifted to that side in close-up. (00:04:00)

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Factual error: During the briefing, Waller shows the map of the island of Corto Maltese. The map positions the fictional island in the Caribbean (it says "Mar Caribe"), but she says it is "off the coast of South America." The map does have also a set of precise coordinates in one of the middle quadrants; 45°43'36.0"S 56°32'58.2"W, which would place it far west of Argentina, surely nowhere near "Mar Caribe."

Broadchurch (2013)

Episode #1.4 - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: The tabloid story with the plight of the Latimers just came out, and various characters are looking at it. In the bit when David Tennant tosses on the desk his copy of the Herald, the second paragraph of the second column goes "Sitting in the family home, surrounded by pictures and mementos of Danny" etc. It is the same text that was at the very beginning of the article when the store owner was looking at it. The newspaper is a prop with the same text in a loop. (00:35:00 - 00:36:30)

Louise: I don't know, there's just gotta be some way we can make money.
Elaine: We can make porno flicks and all wear masks.
Jane: No, Robert and I got bombed out one night, and we put "I love you" on my ankle.
Elaine: OK, we'll wear masks, you'll wear socks.
(00:22:45)

Elaine: Why don't we just become hookers and rent a motel room?
Jane: We'd starve to death, there's 12,000 college girls in this town giving it away.
Elaine: You're right.
(00:22:20)

Jerry: I'll give you 10 bucks for this racket, Elaine.
Elaine: It's a deal, Jerry.
Jerry: Say, did Millard have any balls?
[Long pause, the friends look at each other grinning sarcastically].
Elaine: Nah I can't. It's too easy.

Street Sharks (1994)

Sharkbait - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: To beat the traffic, Coop skateboards inside a construction pipe. The pipe is on the back of a truck, so it's not exactly very long, and gets picked up by a crane arm mounted on the truckbed itself. However, Coop takes ages to come out of the pipe, and in the shot from inside the pipe it looks as if is dozens of meters above the street level, which isn't. (00:08:00)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)

Misogi, Don't Die - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: Ishizaki misses his tackle on Misugi and knocks down the supporters instead. You can see that they fall into the playing field, inside the lines. Sanae sits on him. Though and the lines are gone. The pants of the rightmost bystander go from brown to blue, also. (00:17:55)
