The Two Popes (2019)

Continuity mistake: After Pope Benedict played the piano, the two protagonists are watching TV together. Ratzinger begins the scene with a remote control in his hand; left hand in a quick establishing shot, right when he is commenting on the poor signal. Cardinal Bergoglio puts the letter on the table, with a pen that keeps changing position between shots. Moreover, Ratzinger pushes the letter aside...to reach the remote control, that somehow made its way all the way during a cut. (00:50:00)

The Two Popes (2019)

Continuity mistake: Bergoglio and Ratzinger are having a quiet conversation at a side table after the Pope's dinner. When Hopkins says the line about "a spiritual hearing aid", the handkerchief he was clutching in the previous part of the scene is gone, and it keeps appearing and disappearing depending on the angle. (00:37:00)

The Two Popes (2019)

Character mistake: The main storyline of the movie is set in 2012. When Bergoglio is at the Pope summer residence the first evening and he switches off the football match, he says to the Holy Father that Germany might play against Argentina "next year." Bergoglio is a football fanatic and there's no way he would have not known that the World Cup was to take place in the summer of 2014, not 2013. (00:35:00)

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Jerry says that he wants to suggest to his current girlfriend, Vanessa, to go away for a couple days. George starts saying "No no no" and before the cut he raises his arm and lowers his head as to express concern. But in the new shot there's no trace of that change in posture. (00:02:45)

Seinfeld (1990)

The Stock Tip - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: During the initial conversation, George keeps playing with the paper sleeve of a straw in certain shots, while his hand is in another position in the reverse shots (noticeable for instance when he says "Guys with cats...I don't know..." (00:02:30)

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Char is about to get inside his Zaku, Garma talks to him. Char's right arm is lowered when Garma is in frame, but his hand is on the hatch in the previous and following shot. (00:13:20)

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Other mistake: During the carpet bombing, a single bomb quite literally shreds half of a concrete building (at least 5 storeys), but a number of them do not have any special effect on the already wrecked stadium dome. (00:10:20)

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: The civilians still inside White Base are restless as the ship hides in the dome. One of them sitting on the floor is wearing a sand colored suit, that turns dark brown when Fraw Bow calls everyone's attention. (00:09:10)

Sammo

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Other mistake: The 60,000 ton White Base backs into the stadium stands and there's virtually no damage, nor vibrations and sounds big enough to tip the troops of their whereabouts. Such an impact, even if not at top speed, would hardly be without consequences. (00:09:20)

Garma's Fate - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: At the party, Garma is holding a normal glass when he talks to the two sycophants with horrible fashion taste, but when he looks towards Char approaching the bar, his glass suddenly acquires a dimpled surface. (00:03:00)

Fly! Gundam - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Fraw Bow makes her way to Amuro's room, she starts going up a metal staircase with rather steep steps. Haro behind her hops on steps that appear wider and lack the side railing...but the best comes later, since when we see Fraw Bow reach the top she's climbing a vertical ladder. (00:02:55)

Winds of War - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: When the widow is bandaging the fighter pilot, the part of bandage she is wrapping appears and disappears during the animation - when her hand movies, instead of adding new layers of bandage, the army causes the green sleeve of the space suit to flash back in view. (00:20:10)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: In the parking lot in front of the company he just left, Dan Trunkman is talking with Timothy McWinters and Mike Pancake. Once Mike tells him the reason why he's not working at Footlocker anymore, Dan asks him "Do you work hard?" In this part of the scene as the editing switches back and forth between two main camera angles Tom Wilkinson has either his arms relaxed down his sides, or in front of his belly. (00:04:15)

Sammo

Other mistake: The day before the business trip, Vince Vaughn enters his son's room. They have an awkward chat about masturbation and when he leaves, his son checks out of the bad things that bullies with even worse photoshop skills post on Facebook. He is looking at two different posts, but two comments are exactly the same in both, complete with the same peculiar spelling mistake. (00:08:30)

The Big Tease (1999)

Continuity mistake: At the end of the opening credits, Crawford finishes doing the hair of a client and puts his hands on her shoulders. She says "Crawford, you're a genius"; in the wider angle, no hands on her shoulder, and they are back in the following closer view.

The Soul Keeper (2002)

Continuity mistake: When Craig Ferguson approaches Marie on the cable car, Caroline Ducey is holding her copy of Le Monde in a different way between shots - her right hand moved down and the corner that was crumpled is now straight. (00:07:50)

Ride Along 2 (2016)

Continuity mistake: In the aerial opening shot of the Miami precinct as James and Ben enter it, the position of the extras who walk towards them is not in continuity with what comes after. (00:23:55)

Fly! Gundam - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: Amuro sees the elder pick up something from the tray of the kid next to him. When the elder leaves, the piece of food he stole earlier is still there on the kid's tray. (00:06:40)
