Continuity mistake: Avery is with the junkie rich guy who set up some coke on the table. The rolled-up note and the dollars by the border of the table change position at the cut. (00:16:50)

Trespass (2011)
Continuity mistake: When the robber asks Kyle the code for the alarm system on the ground just past the entrance, Nicole Kidman is holding Nicolas Cage's hand in a different spot in the various shots. (00:14:50)
25th Jan 2021
Trespass (2011)
Continuity mistake: The bad guys put Kyle and Sarah Miller on the ground in the hallway; hilariously enough, Nicolas Cage reaching for Nicole Kidman's hand grabs by mistake together with her hand also part of her hair pulling it. It's gone in the next shot. (00:13:20)

Trespass (2011)
Continuity mistake: After the intermission showing Avery at the party, the movie shows the villains throwing to the ground Nicole Kidman. Look at the guy with Nicolas Cage; he has the gun pointed at his head already when he says "On your f*cking knees", but pointed away from him in the next shot saying "Face down." (00:13:15)

Trespass (2011)
Continuity mistake: Nicole Kidman is tackled by two criminals at the garage door; they are inches away from her, but somehow she manages to hop on the car and start it before the bad guys show up. (00:12:25)

Trespass (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Sarah offers her husband a glass of wine, she is holding her own glass with her fingers pointing up or level depending on the shot. (00:09:20)
25th Jan 2021
Trespass (2011)
Continuity mistake: Avery asks her mum permission to go to a party. She replies in the end "Well, I said no" just as the dad arrives. The hair on her shoulder/upper arm changes position between shots. (00:02:40)

Trespass (2011)
Factual error: In the climax of the movie, Nicholas Cage uses a nail gun like a marksman, hitting with precision the bad guy that holds his wife tight. Besides this skill of his coming out of left field, a nail gun does needs a surface against the opening. It does not shoot nails in the air without pressure being applied, it's a Hollywood trope.

Dr. Dolittle 3 (2006)
Continuity mistake: When Maya smashes her car into the mailbox, the licence plate stays in place. That's until the cut; next time we see it, its left side came out and it dangles by the upper right corner. (00:02:55)

Pay the Ghost (2015)
Character mistake: Talking with the priestess, Nicholas Cage says that "two days ago" he started seeing his son and hearing his voice. It started 3 days ago, not two. (01:08:20)

Pay the Ghost (2015)
Character mistake: Hannah says that the mob arrived to the widow's home on Halloween Night, but the flashback shows daylight. (01:11:00)

Pay the Ghost (2015)
Stupidity: Nicholas Cage saves the kids coming out of the dark dimension exactly at midnight but gets back home at dawn. It should be noted that he has two other kids to bring back home and if we assume he did that already, it would explain part of the time discrepancy. In that case he kept his wife up all night when she was fearing for the safety of both without a word, but she's not upset or anything.

Pay the Ghost (2015)
Other mistake: Mike's professor friend finds the key to the mystery (the symbol of an ancient Celtic Goddess, called...the Celtic Goddess?) in a non-so-ancient text; "The Legend of Good Women" by Chaucer. Hardly the text to use to dig up for ancient pagan rituals and forgotten deities. (01:04:45)
22nd Jan 2021
Pay the Ghost (2015)
Other mistake: The scene with Nicholas Cage browsing with his wife a series of pictures of missing children has a fundamental flaw; the idea is that "most" children who go missing on any day other than Halloween are found, but on Halloween the % drops to "just half." Look at the screen while Cage is saying this; it's not at all what it is shown. The cases solved in the first 'random' day (they have a red stamp on the kid's pic) are way less than 50%, not even 30%. (00:45:30)

Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
Other mistake: The aged children from the first movie find the old kite and Michael decides to throw it away, setting in motion the titular event of this movie. Problem is, the yellow border here is neat and along the whole perimeter, while in the iconic finale of the previous movie, one side of the lozenge was patched up with newspaper. (00:18:45)

How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
22nd Jan 2021
How to Beat the High Co$t of Living (1980)
Factual error: Louise is reading the latest issue of Time magazine which deals with inflation, a hot topic as already addressed earlier in the movie. Not really the latest though, since that issue is from April 1974, 6 years earlier. (00:23:20)
22nd Jan 2021
Shortkut - The Con Is On (2009)
Continuity mistake: In a "movie inside the movie" moment, Arshad Warsi is on the witness stand. In the wide shot the hand he had on the book is held up gesticulating, and at the end of the shot he has his hat in both hands, while it is under his armpit in the shots from the front. (00:12:55)

Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: The Shimizu goalkeeper reacts to Tsubasa's shot in two different poses. In the second he also lost his gloves. (00:19:15)
