Other mistake: Level 2 has a side-scrolling, shoot'em up section. Characters who can fly (Iron Man, Vision) need no help, but Cap and Hawkeye receive instead by Wonder Man a flying bike to ride. In the Genesis version though, Wonder Man tosses the heavy vehicle on the back of the character's head, and it even bounces off them. In every other version, the bike lands on the ground with no incidents.

Flight to Hell (2003)
Continuity mistake: The facehugger-like creature puked by the co-pilot escapes Don's swings by making a hole in the wall behind the rack. However, at the cut you can see that wall and the hole is gone. (01:03:10)

Everly (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Everly hits Taiko with a Yoshimitsu-style seppuku, the sword stabs him in the abdomen and comes up diagonally about at the middle of his back in the first angle, but in the view of his back it comes out a few inches higher. You can use the strap of his holster as reference. (01:16:20)

Everly (2014)
Continuity mistake: Taiko is tased for the first time; in the first shot he reacts making his funny noise with the hands raised halfway to the chest, but in the next close-up the arms are lowered. (01:14:20)

Everly (2014)
Continuity mistake: When Everly seizes the shard uttering the "You branded me like a cow" line, there's a small piece of glass by her hand that wasn't there before and isn't there after. (01:13:55)

1984 (1956)
Continuity mistake: After his meeting with Julia, Winston at home opens the drawer and in a close-up pulls the diary out from under a stack of papers which he lifted with his left hand. The angle changes, and his left hand is on the edge of the drawer, and not supporting the papers any more, nor any paper is visible. There's also a pen on the table that should have been visible before, but wasn't there. (00:36:25)

Everly (2014)
Continuity mistake: The Sadist takes the vials out of his bag and in an overhead shot he puts 2 of them on the white squares of a chessboard. When he pulls 2 more, they all are on black squares. (00:55:45)

Everly (2014)
Continuity mistake: Everly says she has a gift for her girl. Her mother is holding Maisey's shoulder with the bare hand, but in the next shot her hand is inside her sweater, and bare again in the following. (00:40:20)

Everly (2014)
Continuity mistake: The main character is trying to convince her angry Japanese boss/slaver/boss to let her kid go. When he tells her "You WILL die in that room tonight" her left hand is on her thigh in the first shot, her chest in the second. (00:10:45)

Everly (2014)
Continuity mistake: Everly opens the surprise as instructed, and tosses away in horror the lid of the gift box. The lid falls off the armchair, and yet a few seconds later, with nobody else alive in the room and the protagonist that never stopped freaking out on her knees, someone picked it up and it sits by the box. (00:09:30)

Everly (2014)
Other mistake: Salma Hayek is shot and the bullet goes through her side, leaving an entry wound and an exit would on her body, but not on the nightie she's wearing, at least when she passes by the entrance mirror. (00:05:50)

Captain America and The Avengers
Character mistake: The arcade closing credits feature a "Key animater" and a "Graphic Co operater", plus other questionable examples of engRish, such as "Back Ground."
18th Apr 2021
Captain America and The Avengers
Character mistake: In the arcade, Simon Williams' alter ego is mentioned during the stages as "Wonderman" (wrong) and in the ending as "Wonder Man" (correct), and Namor is "Submariner" (wrong) during the stage, and "Sub-Mariner" (correct) in the ending. The Genesis version is even more incoherent, since it gets "Wonder Man" right in level 2, but keeps the wrong spelling "Wonderman" in level 5.

The Wicker Man (1973)
Continuity mistake: The blood trickling from Sergeant Howie's mouth in the finale changes length, in particular when he is helpless in a full nelson - in close-up it's almost halved in size.
18th Apr 2021
The Wicker Man (1973)
Continuity mistake: When Rowan begins to run away, she has a head start on Howie, but at the first cut he's still leading her with a hand on her back like he was doing when he had just released her.
18th Apr 2021
The Wicker Man (1973)
Continuity mistake: Punch is forcefully put in line for the 'game'; there are two girls in front of him, but at the cut only one remains.
18th Apr 2021
The Wicker Man (1973)
Continuity mistake: Three women begin to repeatedly prod with sticks Howie dressed as Punch. In the very first shot, the one before they break out from the group to rush him, the natural light is different, as shown by the different angle of the shadows.
18th Apr 2021
The Wicker Man (1973)
Revealing mistake: Sergeant Howie spots the creepy candle and knocks it to the floor. He falls to the floor himself and extinguishes the flaming thumb, but reaches it through a visible editing job; some frames are missing.
