Continuity mistake: When Ben is hit in the head by the ceiling fan, look when he crashes into the shelves. There are three frames on the floor leaning against the wall and he goes head first in one, but in the close-up of Kevin Hart there are at least four and his cranium does not connect with any of them.

Ride Along 2 (2016)
Continuity mistake: James drops by his sis' place and tells Ben they're going to Miami. Kevin Hart says incredulous "Miami, James? I'm going?" In the background Tika Sumpter suddenly has her hands together under her chin, while her arms are crossed in all the other shots of the scene. (00:20:35)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: When Jack shows the peanut to the 4 suspects, the legume is in a different part of the bag each time without him moving the bag. (00:45:25)
13th Feb 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: The victim's agent, Larry South, is holding Jack's calling card with one hand in close-up, both in the immediate follow-up. (00:09:20)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Continuity mistake: At the station, when Jack holds the bag with the lone peanut, the bag is in a completely different position between shots. (00:13:40)

Death in Paradise (2011)
The Healer - S7-E4
Continuity mistake: DI Jack Mooney's hand shifts between cuts under the box he picks up from one of the top shelves at Fabienne Jordan's home. (00:18:00)
13th Feb 2020
Death in Paradise (2011)
Character mistake: The forensics report in its first screen displays the word "antybodies", when of course it is "antibodies" (00:25:15)

Birds of Prey (2020)
Continuity mistake: Detective Renee Montoya holds the evidence bag with the J necklace in a different way between shots.

White as Milk, Red as Blood (2013)
Deliberate mistake: The whole premise of the movie is 'artistic license' so to speak; the protagonist signs himself up to the bone marrow donors register, called ADMO in his country (Italy). But he is still a minor, and that is strictly not allowed. Not even with a written consent of the parents as shown in the movie.

Road to Hell (2018)
Revealing mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the protagonists dump the corpse of an agent in the middle of nowhere. The guy is stone cold dead...but you can see the carotid pulse on the right side of his neck, under the fake blood. (00:03:10)

Fathers & Daughters (2015)
Character mistake: The protagonist is reading the review of his book "Bitter Tulips." The influential literary critic publication apparently has zero proofreading, since the article says that the novel "can be described as AN failed experiment." (00:45:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)
Other mistake: According to his passport, Michael Bennett was born on July 120th. (00:35:50)

The King of Comedy (1982)
Continuity mistake: When Masha reaches over to strip the tape off Jerry's mouth, look at the large duct tape cocoon he is wrapped into, in particular his lap. Later in the same scene when the crazy woman speaks to him it cuts to the same angle of the room (like when she says "Do you like these glasses?"), and you can see his constraints are different; there's a large visible strip of tape across his lap that was not there before. (01:19:00 - 01:19:45)

Dogs in Space (1986)
Factual error: The movie as the opening captions say, is set in Melbourne, Australia, 1978. However when Sam at the beginning of the movie drinks the milk and moves to the other room where the TV is, he passes by a poster (a communist party poster, the Italian communist party, strangely enough) that was designed only in 1981. (00:09:25)

Common mistakes
Stupidity: A huge amount of movies and TV shows would be over in 5 minutes if only the person who just uncovered a horrible secret (such as who committed a murder) and is calling the good guys about it would quickly spill out of the gist of it instead of just setting up an appointment for a later meeting when they are supposed to discuss at length their findings, and which will only turn out to be the investigation of their own murder.

Joker (2019)
Other mistake: In a city of millions and millions of inhabitants, when the protagonist chases his neighbour till she enters the building in William Street, the taxi that passes in front of him as he crosses the road is the same taxi with license plate T 9362 that nearly ran him over at the very beginning when he was trying to get his sign back. Which incidentally is a model of Chevy Caprice post-1981 (likely a 1987 Caprice). (00:02:25 - 00:24:35)

Joker (2019)
Factual error: In the elevator, Arthur meets the single mom living on the same floor, Sophie Dumond. In Sophie's shopping bag, the one recognizable food item is a box of Betty Crocker's Hamburger Helper - Potato Stroganoff. Thing is, the packaging uses (look at the design of the 'menu idea') a design predating the introduction of the Helping Hand mascot, which happened in the late 70s. She just bought it, it can't be ancient, long expired food. (00:19:35)

Joker (2019)
Continuity mistake: In the theater lavatory, Arthur puts the usher jacket in the sink. Part of the jacket drapes to the side of the sink, but at the cut the cloth is entirely contained in it. (01:05:00)
12th Feb 2020
Joker (2019)
Continuity mistake: Arthur inadvertently fires a gunshot in his living room. Right as he tumbles across the table, he knocks off the table the paper bag the gun came with, and knocks towards the edge of the table a pill bottle. In the closer angle shot when he cranks up the volume of the TV set, the bag is still on the table and the bottle is gone. The newspapers are also positioned differently. In the next shot we're back to the previous state (pills up, bag down, newspapers closer together). (00:23:10)

Joker (2019)
Trivia: Murray Franklin's show is, as displayed on the TV in the hospital, on channel 3, the same channel The Jerry Langford Show was in King of Comedy. (00:59:25)
