Continuity mistake: The guy that lies dead next to the crushed car at the party has his head tucked more or less closely under the right arm depending on the camera angle. (01:17:55)

Alligator (1980)
Continuity mistake: During the assault on the car, the vehicle rocks violently in some shots, only to appear perfectly still when it cuts from passenger to driver and vice versa. (01:16:50)
10th May 2022
Alligator (1980)
Other mistake: In the party scene, the monster chews repeatedly on a blonde man in a white tuxedo while suspiciously humping a table. This happens while Slade locks the car. There's another shot of the partygoers running away scared, but that is recycled from the earlier bit when the alligator tail-whipped a security guard earlier; the guests that are running away are the exact same (look for instance at the woman with the brown dress and the black belt). You can even spot the security guard flying again in the air like a minute earlier. (01:16:25)

Alligator (1980)
Revealing mistake: During the party, one of the security guys shoots the alligator, who then whips him with the tail. The guy flies in the air, and to the left of the screen when he falls there's a string plainly visible to help moving the tail. (01:15:45)

Alligator (1980)
Other mistake: Henry Silva is interviewed by a reporter played by Sue Lyon in her last movie appearance. She holds a microphone with the familiar peacock symbol of NBC on it, but in the end credits she is "ABC Reporter." (00:50:10 - 01:25:45)

Alligator (1980)
Continuity mistake: After the large mudprint of "Ramon" has been found, David has to make his way back from the lake through a crowd of street vendors and weirdos in general spurred by the presence of the big animal. Just before he meets a bald guy that is carting several plush crocodiles, there's some young fella in a blue and red checkered shirt. David walks past this group and in the next shot after a while he runs in the shirt guy again. (00:49:25)
10th May 2022
Alligator (1980)
Revealing mistake: A policeman hilariously crashes his car because he was coming in too fast when the kids escaped the molegator. The car that explodes has square, all red emergency lights, but the car that was speeding through the street had red and blue lights of a different shape. (00:44:50)
10th May 2022
Alligator (1980)
Revealing mistake: Obvious B-movie special effect when the alligator breaks through the sidewalk, supposedly creating earthquake-like tremors that are simply someone shaking the camera up and down and the cement bends and deforms like cardboard. (00:44:00)
10th May 2022
Alligator (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Kelly grabs his coworker's butt, he does it with the left hand in the Jaws-like POV, but then it turns out he's using the right hand and the left hand is the one holding the flashlight. (00:25:00)
10th May 2022
Alligator (1980)
Revealing mistake: Gutchel brings in the sewers the animal carcasses using the supermarket cart. He gets inside, then passes a first tunnel, then another one...or rather, passes the exact same tunnel as before, but in the other direction, to make it look like he travelled a bigger length - just check the graffiti on the wall, it's the same one. (00:09:25)

Alligator (1980)
Continuity mistake: When the boss of the laboratory sits on the desk, he moves just the lamp, but the board has moved next to the lighter as well. (00:13:55)
10th May 2022
Alligator (1980)
Continuity mistake: Luke Gutchel is at the evil pharmaceutical company. The scientist tells him he wants 'puppies'; it cuts away on him a moment, and the garbage bag has changed position on the cart. (00:08:25)

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Continuity mistake: When the hero of the movie savagely tortures for weeks a guy who dared to touch his mantle after being robbed, the mustard on Bruce Campbell's clothes changes position from shot to shot.
10th May 2022
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Continuity mistake: When we first see Wanda with her kids (which turns out to be a dream, but it's also showing a glimpse from another universe, and it's not meant to be 'out of order or unnatural) she tries to tuck one in, and he refuses. Wanda pulls back, but in the next shot she yet has to.
10th May 2022
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Continuity mistake: When Strange reveals the presence of the tentacular monster, a person is running across the street behind him with their kid, but they're gone (or rather, several meters behind the original position) in the very next shot.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Continuity mistake: At the wedding, Christine tells Stephen that he "deserves it"; she leaves pulling her hand off his tie, but she never put it there in the first place.
10th May 2022
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Continuity mistake: Stephen performs a magic trick very popular at weddings a couple millennia ago changing water into wine; as he does that, you can notice that the barman in close-up is bent over behind the counter, but he was standing a moment before when Strange started the gesture.

Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When Yumi is smoking in her room, the door of her room opens. It's a left-hand swing. Less than a minute later, Kenmochi breaks into the room and forces the door open, which now is right-hand. (00:16:55 - 00:17:35)
7th May 2022
Kindaichi shônen no jiken bo (1997)
Magical Express Murder Case: File 3 - S2-E12
Continuity mistake: When the heroes approach the three magicians that are tending to their luggage. Satomi in the wide shot is on her knees and two boxes are in front of her. Next angle, and there's a pile of 4. (00:16:15)
