Continuity mistake: When Alec Baldwin at the beginning of the movie mentions the trip to Spain, he brings the glass of champagne to his lips. They greet Ollie in the next shot (his already popped in the current view), and Baldwin's hand is down, he repeats the action to raise it and drink from his glass only a second later. (00:02:15)

It's Complicated (2009)
Continuity mistake: Jake Adler at the beginning of the movie is taking a dramatic pause during a toast, and the woman who turns out to be his now ex wife, Jane, continues the sentence for him. During this first exchange, Meryl Streep 's hand changes position on the glass continuously. Sometimes she holds it right at the stem, other times her fingers engage the cup. (00:01:50)

Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Remembrance - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Dahj shows up in the middle of Picard's vineyard. In the shot when she asks "Do you know me?" the shadows behind her differ greatly from the rest of the scene, where trellises cast hardly any. (00:17:20)
13th Mar 2020
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Remembrance - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: Dahj kills the 3 dudes who tried to subdue her putting a bag on her head. When the third one kicks the bucket, notice how he falls with his leg spread, a tablet-like object rolls on the floor touching the carpet, and on the carpet itself there are several pieces of debris and shattered glass. In a following shot the bag that was totally not hiding a stuntwoman doing agile flips and kicks is removed from her head and we see Isa Briones standing barefoot. She stands on that same carpet but it has been sanitized from anything sharp, while the aforementioned Romulan lies on the floor positioned differently and the 'tablet' is gone. (00:06:00)

Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Factual error: Picard tells his manservant that Laris and him are more needed at the Chateau than with him in space because there's less than a month left before the harvest. Without being privy to the knowledge of a XXIV century agronomist, grapes at the Chateau are grown with traditional methods in a climate that looks reasonably similar to our own. From the establishing shot at the beginning of this episode and what we could see by his walk in the vineyard in the previous, there are no grapes forming, ripening, not even flowers. Hardly the look of a vineyeard close to harvest. (00:07:00 - 00:36:10)

The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: The scene when Masha has the "romantic" dinner with Jerry begins with an overhead shot of the table. The gun is positioned at a different angle in the next view, but more importantly, Masha is carrying a bottle of wine with her that was already present in that establishing overhead. (01:18:30)

Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Continuity mistake: When Lieutenant Narissa Rizzo appears in holo form in the last scene of the episode, the two pins of her rank on her right breast initially are attached together (as if the two magnets have been placed too close together and ended up being pulled to one another). During the first part of the scene they go back and forth between being joined and separated. (00:40:45)

The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: The taping of Rupert's monologue is done, and he's backstage eating crisps and talking with the FBI agent. The position of the packet in Robert De Niro's hand changes between shots, and when Gerrity asks "Where are we goin'?" his hands are not visible, but in the following shot they are fully in view as he is holding a pose. (01:13:00)

The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: Masha is trying her knitwear on Jerry. When Rupert asks her to take it off him, Sandra Bernhard's arm position in the reflection does not match the following shot. (01:10:10)

The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: When Jerry Lewis is kicking Robert De Niro and Diahnne Abbott out of the house, the delusional wannabe tells him "That's how you guys are, huh?", to which the late show star replies "No, not them, me." Suddenly in this shot the window door is closed, when it was not in the previous part of the scene. And at the next cut, Jerry is shown indeed closing the door. (01:00:25)
13th Mar 2020
The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: When Jerry Langford tells Rupert "If I didn't tell you that, we'd still be standing on the steps at my apartment" he is leaning into the golf club held in his right hand. Cut, and you can see the club jumped to his left hand, and after the Hitler joke, the club is back in his right hand. (01:00:00)

The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: A lady at a payphone stops Jerry Langford and asks him to sign her copy of a magazine for her. He is doing it, and before he finishes, a lady with a beige hat walks past him. In the next shot the lady is followed by a guy that appeared suddenly. Likewise, the guy with green pants that was visible in the first shot moved into the next street, by the corner. (00:39:05)

The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: Margo Winkler's receptionist character phones to Jerry's assistant to ask about that Rupert Pupkin fella who just showed up. When she tells him that there's no record of his appointment, she is holding the telephone in two different ways in the two separate shots. (00:26:50)
13th Mar 2020
The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: Rupert is waiting by the public phone. A line of people are angrily trying to shoo him away since the nearby phones are not working. You can see the various phone receives hanging down. But the one to the left in the closer angles is correctly hanged up as if the phone worked. (00:25:20)
13th Mar 2020
The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: During the conversation between Rita and Rupert at the counter of her bar (when she asks him what is he up to), the beer in his mug is slightly above/slightly below the handle as shot and countershot alternate. Likewise as the editing goes back and forth between those two angles De Niro is also touching the side of the glass with his finger or not. (00:15:50)
13th Mar 2020
The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: When Rupert in his dream is approached by a fan and asks her name (Dolores), Jerry Lewis has his left hand under his chin in the first shot, on the table in the next. (00:12:40)
13th Mar 2020
The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: After Sandra Bernhard has been removed, watch Jerry dive back into his car. One of the people aggressively seeking him, behind De Niro, makes a frustrated gesture with an open right hand. In the next shot (when it's Rupert to sneak into the car), the same person is holding a yellow notepad. (00:06:20)
13th Mar 2020
The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: Jerry Langford has just been kidnapped. He makes the first call to the network, but the receptionist hangs up on him. He then attempt again, but you can see him pick up the receiver twice in two separate shots. (01:05:50)
13th Mar 2020
The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: In the country home, after Rita walks away, Jerry Langford walks Rupert out of the room, telling him he just wanted to get rid of him when he told him to call his secretary. During the scene, Jerry Lewis is leaning against the door in some shots and suddenly isn't at the cut. (01:00:05)

Taxi Driver (1976)
Other mistake: The man (turns out to be a mafia bigshot) who goes to Iris' pimp Sport asks him if she's in the usual building, and walks off, no doubt about his intentions. It's broad daylight, and it's summer. Yet Travis, who is also on booze and pills after failing to kill the senator and surely did not bid his time, arrives in East 13th Street only when it's already pitch black outside, and the john is still with Iris in the 'work' room, with them being fully clothed and with the bed made (but she's on her knees so they are 'just about to do it'). (01:37:30 - 01:39:45)
