Character mistake: The protagonist says "You know, Croesus once said 'Count no man happy until the end is known'" but it's not Croesus uttering that line. According to Herodotus, Solon says it to King Croesus. (00:03:00)

Ava (2020)
Other mistake: Ava disposes of her target and reports her Executive code (74598CG). Then she gets as reply from her handler "Management code 840227." Later we see Duke's management code, and it's different (96729CF), which is also the one she types on the plane.

Ava (2020)
Other mistake: The opening credits show a bit of Ava's rather extravagant biography. She is involved in a DUI accident that kills two people; the news article says that it happened "early Thursday morning." What follows is a police photo labeled 06/27/95, a Saturday. Then we see the police report; not only the incident time is 10:30 PM, but the date is March 15 1999, which was a Monday. It is not separated incidents, since the police photo is then shown again, next to the "Thursday" article (and the fact described in the article is life-changing). (00:08:10)

Illusion Travels by Streetcar (1954)
Continuity mistake: The two workers are being dismissed by their boss after their 'too zealant' repairs of the streetcar. Shot from behind when he stops them as they walk away, you can see him place his right hand flat on the desk, directly on the wood. Next shot and his hand is in a different position and on the papers. (00:05:30)

Continuity mistake: Christopher Lee looks outside his useless nephew's room and spots two hot Swedish girls. Renato Rascel has a bottle of wine in hand and walks towards him, but the bottle is gone when he tries to stop him. (00:23:40)

How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Continuity mistake: During the heist, the lights go out, but just the stage ones. Elaine asks for a flashlight; a guy with a short-sleeved light green shirt is sitting in the audience, or standing in the reverse shot. (01:27:20)
29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Other mistake: Elaine is counting her share of the loot in $20 increments; however the pile of money is not made of $20 bills. You can spot about 1 in the visible area, the rest are 1 or 5 dollar bills. Louise is shown stacking away all $100 and $20 bills. (01:38:30)

How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Other mistake: It's a funny line, sure, but when Jane is with her fiancé, he tells her that her mother and her lesbian partner "adopted a black baby" and "last week, she hocked her wedding ring to buy a crib." That's a little fast, considering the relationship happened just a little before the heist planning, a week. (01:04:20)
29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Continuity mistake: The three friends are trying to come up with a plan for the heist. Elaine suggests taking a walk meanwhile. Louise walks backwards for a few; she has her left hand in her pocket, but at the cut it's the right hand. (00:38:25)
29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Continuity mistake: At Taco Time, Jane goes on a rant about international aid while she eats a burger. She has the tiniest piece of burger left in hand when she is done, but in Fred Willard's reaction shot she is holding an almost full burger again. (00:26:20)
29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Continuity mistake: At the gas station, the attendant pockets Elaine's credit card saying it's a $25 reward. For the next couple of lines, the squeegee in her hand is turned in opposite directions between cuts. (00:30:15)

29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Continuity mistake: The waiter brings the check and the poorest of the trio looks away. You can see Elaine's glass is less than half full. Once Louise says "My treat" and they have chatted a few seconds, the glass is over 3/4 full, and is again half empty when we go back to the same camera angle as before. (00:22:40)
29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Continuity mistake: Louise is reading about the money ball to the others. When she says "For the entire family", Jane's right arm is under the table, but for her next line after the cut she's leaning on it with that same arm. (00:22:00)
29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Revealing mistake: A helpful guy is holding a jar supposedly holding the fish that were recovered after the tank was cracked open by the shot. You can tell however that there's no fish in it and Susan Saint James is dropping a handful of nothing in it. (00:21:00)
29th Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Continuity mistake: At the garage sale, Elaine's friend Natalie drops by and blasts the fishtank open. The tie/necklace she is wearing is off/on the collar of the shirt depending on the camera angle. In the reverse shot her thumb goes suddenly from horizontal to straight. (00:20:35)

Always Leave Them Laughing (1949)
Continuity mistake: After the ill-received Al Jolson impersonation, Milton Berle gets paid only 5 bucks instead of 50. He asks the manager "What are you doing, putting 45 in your own pocket?" as several not so reassuring individuals begin to crowd him. Notice a balding guy with a white shirt and pattern tie; he puffs out smoke as he arrives, but at the cut he is still chewing on his cigar and immediately blows smoke again.

Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis (2005)
Continuity mistake: Julian and Becky get to school and see one of their friends sparring a bit. His ex Katie arrives and he tries to kiss her. She pushes him away and then grabs again the strap of her bag, but at the cut she is not holding it anymore. (00:11:50)
