The Judge - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Matlock tells Tyler that someone well connected could make a parking ticket disappear, Kene Holiday listens intently with his finger on his cheek, or between the lips, depending on the shot. (00:20:50)

Matlock (1986)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Lockwood is on the stand, Matlock asks him if he is aware of ties with the "American Unified Finance Corporation." As he spells out the name of the company, he moves the side of his hand along the railing in small steps. However, there is a reverse shot in the middle of it where his arm is still and positioned at a different height. (01:24:20)

Matlock (1986)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Matlock starts implying that Mr. Banning is the one that tipped The Scandal reporters about his client, he clutches the stand with both hands and shuffles back and forth. As the line "frequently pay people to alert them" is spoken, transitioning to a different camera angle, he is all of a sudden no longer clinging to the railing corner. (01:11:15)

Matlock (1986)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Matlock pretends he's done with Banning, the hotel desk clerk, he walks away from him. Richard Lineback has his hands in his lap in two different ways in the two separate shots, just beginning to stand twice in a row. (01:10:35)

Matlock (1986)

Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Prosecutor Burton Hawkins shows People Exhibit B (the murder weapon), doing a fancy twirl, keeping his arm outstretched in the wide shot. His spin concludes in a narrower camera angle; this time, his arm is down. (01:04:15)

Blink Twice (2024)

Continuity mistake: At the fancy dinner at the beginning of the movie, Frida uses the titular line ("Blink twice if I am in danger") on Kyle MacLachlan. Rich slightly tips over his glasses as Slater waves his hand. In the next shot, Slater is still waving, but Rich's position is wildly different; his glasses are completely off and in fact below his waistline. (00:09:20)

Continuity mistake: During the drink-mixing sequence, the ice in the glass keeps changing position between shots. When, at the end, Venom pours the content of the mixer, it spills out, leaving the top half of the glass empty and mostly transparent. However, a second later, the glass is full to the brim with thick fluid.

Sammo

Stupidity: Since we get frequent POV shots from their eyes, we see exactly what the creatures hunting Venom see. Even when the Codex disappears from their view, they can see distinctly Venom's shape, and they have no problem using their appendages and brute force against any and every creature. There are moments in the movie (such as the scene in Vegas) when the Xenophage just stops for no reason; even if the big blinking thing is gone, you can still see the shape it was attached to.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Eddie and Martin meet for the first time in the woods and they are having a conversation, Rhys Ifans wears his necklace with the pendant above his clothes in the majority of the shots, except the ones when the camera is focused on Tom Hardy and he is facing left. In those shots, the pendant is under the T-shirt.

Sammo

Stupidity: When an explosion hits the courtroom, Arthur is the closest person to it, with nothing to protect him, but he is the first and only one to recover, and every bailiff (not to mention the police outside the courthouse) outside of explosion range is mysteriously knocked out and/or absent.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the interview for the commission, Arthur's psychiatrist asks him about his mother's voice. He replies, "What does that mean?" cigarette in hand, barely above the table. In the next shot, the cigarette is in his mouth. She asks a few seconds later about Joker, "Would he like to talk to me?" Joaquin Phoenix is smoking his cigarette at a different angle between shots.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the barber, towards the beginning of the movie, asks Arthur if he's got a joke for them, Joaquin Phoenix's face is cleaner from soap compared to the previous and following part of the scene - when it's thicker on the neck and goes all the way up on the cheekbone.

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the cartoon short that opens the movie, Joker, on his way to the stage, breaks the arm of a man in the corridor. In the background, slightly ahead of him in his path, is a poster for Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times. The camera angle changes as Shadow Joker turns around; he is supposed to be in the same spot, but the poster is way behind him; Joker is now standing next to the Pal Joey poster.
