Character mistake: The first victim gets smacked in the face by the Mistress, and then in subservient fashion holds her hand and kisses it asking if she hurt her hand hitting him. Thing is, she slapped him with the right hand and he is kissing the left better. (00:01:40)

Plot of Fear (1976)
28th Jan 2020
Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator
Other mistake: One of the headlines you can get when your government instability is high says "Mass Rallies Call for Premiers Resignation", without the appropriate apostrophe.

Joy of Sex (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the coach instructs the guys telling them that their 'pistols don't shoot blanks', the clipboard under his armpit flips around at the cut. (00:06:00)
27th Jan 2020
The Layover (2017)
Continuity mistake: Kate at the beginning of the movie asks Demerius, the kid who is reading a manga, to read some of it loudly for the whole class. When she addresses him first, the book on his desk changes position between shots, repeatedly. (00:01:20)

Marjaavaan (2019)
Revealing mistake: Mazhar is saved by Raghu who with his amazing strength pulls the chains tied to the tankers and breaks free. The chains supposedly pulled by the powerful trucks though are not in tension. (00:08:50)
27th Jan 2020
Life of the Party (2018)
Continuity mistake: Deanna is playing racquetball with her friend when she hits her in the lady parts with the ball. The two sit down by the wall; look at the bottle Melissa McCarthy is holding; it's practically empty, but in the closer angle when she sobs "What am I doing?" it is almost completely refilled. (00:09:50)
27th Jan 2020
New England Detective: Breakfast in Boston
Character mistake: In the conversation in the hotel lobby, Rachel asks Ingmar if he can snipe at 450 feet, converting it as "183 meters." There must have been a mistake switching two digits around; 450 feet would be 138 meters, at most.
27th Jan 2020
The Diamond Mercenaries (1976)
Revealing mistake: By order of the shrewd Harry Webb, the helicopter just destroyed the Cessna on the ground. The two guys decide that they are gonna walk back to civilization. Cut to the vehicle driving to the explosion site, and you can see in the desert sand ahead of the jeep fresh tire tracks from previous takes. And it keeps happening during the desert chase. (00:10:20)
25th Jan 2020
Girlhood (2014)
Continuity mistake: The movie opens with an American Football match; look out for the girl wearing number 6 for the red team, Molosses, who has mid-length locks of straight reddish hair coming out of the helmet, down her back. When a touchdown is scored and celebrations begin, number 6 takes her helmet off, revealing the face of the protagonist, Karidja Touré, who has long black hair in braids. (00:01:20 - 00:02:40)
25th Jan 2020
Blood and Diamonds (1977)
Continuity mistake: The protagonist and his friend are driving to the designated target. The headlights of the car behind them get significantly closer in a sudden cut during their conversation. (00:02:35)
22nd Jan 2020
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979)
Cucuruz Doan's Island - S1-E15
Other mistake: When Amuro tosses the Zaku in the ocean, its 'eye' is lit, but the Zaku is powered off. (00:22:15)
22nd Jan 2020
Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Continuity mistake: Jojo's mom makes him look at the people hanged in the public square. When they turn around and walk away, between the two shots there are clear changes in position in passersby in the background. (00:20:30)
22nd Jan 2020
Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Continuity mistake: During their first night at the camp, Jojo and his friend are talking while they play with their knives. During the scene the knives change position between cuts (blatant especially when they mention the brussels sprouts or when he rolls to the other side to sleep). (00:08:40)

Ride Along 2 (2016)
Continuity mistake: After the SUV crash lands upside down flying off the parking, James fishes Troy out of it. He is pointing his finger at him angrily, but it's the index of his left hand first, right hand in the follow-up shot. (00:10:00)
17th Jan 2020
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Continuity mistake: During the opening credits, Kevin Hart gets in the SUV's way trying to stop it flashing his badge. The badge is in his right hand in the executive producers freeze-frame, but in the POV that follows he's holding in his left, and then again in the right hand at the cut. (00:09:00)
17th Jan 2020
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Continuity mistake: James manages to jump aboard Troy's lime green SUV. The windshield has just 2 bullet holes, located very close together where the driver seat is. There's a close-up of the gun when Troy reaches for it; in the shot that follows, the windshield has a already a third hold in the middle that is supposed to occur only later, when during the struggle the gun goes off. (00:08:30)
17th Jan 2020
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Continuity mistake: Kevin Hart arrives in a lowrider leaving everyone positively puzzled. In the background as he dismounts, notice the couple roughly at windshield level. Between shots her hand moves from his right shoulder (arm draped behind the neck) to the front of her own. (00:06:45)
17th Jan 2020
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Continuity mistake: Opening credits. Ice Cube's on a mission and is looking at Troy. He's talking through the radio; during the cut the scantily clad lady next to him changes position. In the wider angle she was laughing and lifting the paper cup, in the close-up she's got her RBF on and has yet to lift the cup. A similar inconsistency occurs minutes later when they get out of the car and walk towards him; the girls are in different poses and the blonde on the right side of the screen is suddenly drinking. (00:04:00 - 00:05:10)
17th Jan 2020
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Other mistake: In the hit on Port Commissioner Griffin at the beginning of the movie, he picks up the phone at 9:20 (office wall clock). When he is killed, there's a close-up of his phone that is totally, well, phony for many reasons. Most notably, the time of the call is stuck at 36 seconds even when the close-up lasts longer than a second. You can read also on top that the time is 1:44 PM, which is inconsistent with what shown earlier and with the fact that it's evening! It is also displayed as a Blocked Caller, too, which makes no sense. (00:02:10 - 00:03:00)
17th Jan 2020
Ride Along 2 (2016)
Continuity mistake: AJ is at the computer playing with the camgirl. Antonio Pope walks towards him. You can tell by his movements that the glass of wine is supposed to switch hands right before the cut on Ken Jeong saying "looking good!" even when it's not acknowledged in the next shot, but the impression becomes certainty a few cuts later as they talk by the laptop. When the camera is on the Korean-American actor, the glass is always in Benjamin Bratt's right hand, but it is in his left all of a sudden cutting to him a couple times. (00:01:25)
