Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Joker is beaten up at the beginning of the movie, he changes position on the ground between shots. The pieces of the sign next to him also change position; in the last shot that lingers till the movie title pops up, the part with the letters "ST GO!" is face up, it was not in the previous one.

Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: Thomas Wayne is speaking on TV. Arthur shushes his mom. In the close-up that follows, suddenly there's an extra lock of hair against his forehead. (00:38:50)

Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: When Arthur is choking Alfred Pennyworth through the bars, in the shot when he says "Let go, let go!" you can see behind his head the flowers from the magic wand, absent in the previous views. (00:54:50)

Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, while the main character is clowning around with the sign the same passersby (in particular two women - one with a blue coat, the other with a plain light brown one) keep walking past him in multiple shots. (00:01:35)

Joker (2019)

Other mistake: Arthur watches Murray's show in the hospital room, he is able to see himself in the Pogo's Comedy Club performance. Forgetting how very contemporary this whole "viral video of person making a fool out of himself" dynamic is, and how astronomically unlikely it is that there would be taping of some open mike session in a club, it still makes in fact sense that there could be a recording of Arthur's performance, since there is a monitor backstage and in an earlier scene there was a guy with a camera on a tripod far in the back of the room when Arthur was taking notes. But in the video shown during Murray's opening there are 2 different angles of the performance, which are also different from the one show in the monitor backstage. Amateur night with 3 cameramen and a director/editor? Come on. (00:59:50)

Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: The camera pans towards Arthur when is reading Penny's letter to Thomas Wayne; the items on the table (newspaper, pen) are in a different position compared to the rest of the scene. (00:48:35)

Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: In the last couple of cuts preceding Arthur's gun accident in front of the kids, the nurse's hands are not where they should be at the cut; her hands are on the kid' shoulders, then ears, before the cut she raises them to dance on the spot, but they are back on his shoulders in the next shot. The baby patient himself when Arthur drops the gun suddenly has his hands up under the chin. (00:28:25)

Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the dance in the children ward, the kid with a blue hat on Arthur's right is sitting cross-legged with the hospital robe covering his calves and feet. At the first cut, his jammies and socks become visible. (00:28:05)

Joker (2019)

Factual error: The cart behind Arthur during his dance for the kids has drawers of different colors. That is color coding reflecting the Broselow Tape, a tool used to measure pediatric patients and give estimates of the appropriate scaling for treatments. It's a system that started only in 1985, while the movie takes place in 1981. (00:28:05)

Joker (2019)

Continuity mistake: In a close-up, Arthur grabs with both hands the gun he dropped and kicked across the hospital floor, but in the wider shot that follows he's using only the left hand, and it's also clear that Joaquin Phoenix's body is turned in a complete different way, with his feet adjoined instead of the open legs seen before. (00:28:35)

Taxi Driver (1976)

Continuity mistake: The close-up of the taxi fare meter during the scene with Martin Scorsese's cameo has lighting inconsistent with the rest of the scene. (00:41:00)

Relic Hunter (1999)

Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15

Other mistake: Amuro and Doan come out of the waterfall charging. Doan's Zaku shoulder-rams the opponent with the right shoulder, while probably he should have done it with the left one, spiked. Mistake, it happens. What should not happen is what ensues later; as the evil Zaku falls back, look at Doan's; the moment he starts running towards the downed opponent, the drawing is mirrored, and literally from one frame to the next he switches shoulder equipment (the shield moves from right to left). (00:18:10)

Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15

Other mistake: When Amuro rescues the two pilots, he lies them down on the beach, side by side on what initially looks like a single tarp. Which can probably make sense, but when the first one dies, Amuro runs to the second, and now it seems that each had their own fancy beach towel to lie upon, which is doubtful being part of the standard Federation equipment. (00:05:50)

Time, Be Still - S1-E14

Character mistake: The whole episode begins with a wrong premise, that somehow is true anyway; the federation has just one Mobile Suit. That's not true, as it has also the Guntank and Guncannon, which engaged Zeon in the previous episode, and still they are not used in this episode, so the plan works as intended. Funny they'd have somehow intel so precise that they can run a commando raid targeting exactly the armor weak spots, but at the same time ignore the elementary facts about the enemy forces.
