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)

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)

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)

The Statue - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Jerry is on the phone with Rava's boyfriend to ask him about The Statue. In the close-up he is holding the cordless in his left hand, but the same hand is on his hip when he is in the background with all the others crowding the landline to listen. (00:12:30)

The Apartment - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When Jerry's neighbours are arguing in the corridor about sponge size, Harold is holding the tiny scourer in different ways between shot (in a different spot and with his fingers suddenly stretched out). (00:08:40)

Seinfeld (1990)

The Apartment - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: At Monk's, Jerry points at the woman feeding corned beef hash to her baby. There's an angle with the camera roughly behind Jerry Seinfeld's shoulder; the continuity here is sloppy, with George having his hand down flat on the table instead of with the fingers laced together with the other, and he has his right leg crossed and not the left. Just few seconds later he asks Jerry if he remembers his friend from Detroit, and he is pointing his left index finger at Jerry across the table instead, again, of having his hands close together. (00:07:30)

The Phone Message - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: During the scene with Donna and the wine bottle, besides continuity errors with cork and glasses position already mentioned in this page, the level of wine itself changes; Jerry poured wine to Donna, but her glass is empty in some shots, and before Kramer's arrival both are full, only to become empty in the last shot.

The Phone Message - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: George is talking about the phone call; when he says "I don't like to go too long before I ask them out", the waitress with the blue cardigan is passing behind him. At the cut, she's already to the other side of the counter. (00:02:05)

The Jacket - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the shot when Jerry points to Kramer where the ruined jacket is and he walks across the room to go check it out, the box of Ritz crackers is facing The Opposite direction than before, and in the following shot he is holding it in a different way too, by the top of the box instead of the bottom.

The Jacket - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: When Elaine's dad says "Pipe down, chorus boy" to George, suddenly a hotel staffer in red appears in the recess by the lamp. In another blatant continuity mistake, in the shot that follows George is suddenly without glasses. (00:17:50)

The Jacket - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: At the end of their strategic break in the men's room, George tosses his paper towel in the bin to the right; however the previous shot ended with Jason Alexander turning around having the towel in his left hand and glancing towards the basket on the left. (00:13:55)

The Jacket - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: In the reaction shot with Alton Benes scoffing at George and Jerry's sissy choice of drinks, a woman with a coat in hand is walking behind him, towards the door. In the next shot, no trace of the woman, just someone in a bicolor puffer. (00:10:25)

The Pony Remark - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Elaine tells George that Jerry must go to the funeral because he could have been the one who killed the old lady, Julia Louis-Dreyfus starts stirring the beverage. The spoon is gone at the cut, and at the following cut it is in her hand, which was free just a second before. Same later when George says that the dead don't care; she is holding it over the cup, but in the next shot it's suddenly inside the cup, hands off. (00:15:15)

The Pony Remark - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: During their casual talk about death and wasting your own life, George says he plans to continue wasting it. Cut, and both him and Elaine are in different poses than earlier, with Elaine licking the spoon and George with his fingertips by his mouth. In the majority of the conversation there are no such jumpcuts and continuity is kept. (00:14:45)

Continuity mistake: Jerry called his parents back to tell them about Myra's dead. When his dad at the end of the scene says "You know what this funeral's gonna wind up costing me?" Barney Martin is leaning his head against his hand all of a sudden. (00:12:50)
