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)

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)

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)

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)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Continuity mistake: The first time we see Tsubasa's old friend Yayoi, she's surrounded by different people in the opening shots, and a different new batch later again when she reveals her name. (00:15:25 - 00:19:40)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: The animation of the team laughing at Ryo's joke about scoring 10 goals is botched to the point of the players basically convulsing. (00:12:55)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Audio problem: The Shimada team let out a loud cheer, but the movement happens a good second later only, in the background. (00:05:55)
22nd Jan 2021
Kyaputen Tsubasa (1983)
Other mistake: When the Shimada players listen to the pep talk from their number 10, their jerseys just go crazy; some have written "Shimada" on it, but some others "Shimad" and there's a guy with just "SHIMA" on it. (00:05:00)

Pay the Ghost (2015)
Revealing mistake: When Mike browses his own everyday phone looking at the photos, the phone shows a "no SIM" message. (01:00:00)
22nd Jan 2021
Pay the Ghost (2015)
Continuity mistake: When a nonplussed Cage and his wife drop by to talk with a drug addict, the candle on the table is at first whole, then in close-up the top is molten out of shape at the top. (00:47:00)
22nd Jan 2021
Pay the Ghost (2015)
Other mistake: To prove his point to his wife, Mike searches a database for a certain date. It's the date of their son's birthday. Cage says "on July 15", but if you look at the screen, the search is for "past 6 years, April 27." It's a double mistake, since he then does another search, which produces different results...but on screen, the date is always the same one. (00:45:30)
22nd Jan 2021
Pay the Ghost (2015)
Continuity mistake: Mike and his wife are talking in the street. She is crying and tells him that "It's never him." Twice, with a reverse shot and a line of dialogue in the middle, a woman with a light green jacket gets on the sidewalk behind Nicholas Cage. (00:40:05)
