Continuity mistake: Kramer's moussed up hair looks much different in the first shot compared to the rest of the scene; it's way slicker and frizzles up right after the first cut. (00:00:55)

Riot (2015)
Continuity mistake: In the first scene of prison violence, babyfaced bully Semyon grabs a guy's head and smashes it on the table. In the close-up we see the foot tray bouncing off, pieces of lettuce fly and a clanging noise is heard. And yet, after the cut nothing happened, the tray is still in front of the poor victim, not a piece of bread out of place, nothing spilled on the table. (00:15:30)

Vivir dos veces (2019)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the waitress notices that Emilio for the first time in years has not completed his Sudoku yet. The sequence begins with her stopping by him and waving her hand, upturned, but the hand is then on his shoulder. She repeats the gesture at the cut. (00:01:50)

Knives Out (2019)
Continuity mistake: After walking in the muddy path, Marta is greeted by very affectionate dogs. Daniel Craig approaches the dogs and the kneeling Ana de Armas with just his left hand in his pocket. Close-up, and he has both hands in his pockets all of a sudden. Return to the first wider angle and Craig's right hand is out of the pocket just as before. (00:58:10)

Knives Out (2019)
Continuity mistake: Walking outside of the shack with the recording equipment, Marta is rubbing the tape with the magnet. Notice the position of her hand when she is walking - correctly, she is holding the magnet end against the cassette. The close-up that reveals the trick to the audience though, starts with her holding it the opposite way. (There is technically time for her to flip it around in her hand in the couple seconds when her hand is not on camera, but we see her put her hand by her side to conceal the magnet's presence, and then how she holds it tightly against the same spot on the coat; switching the side the magnet is facing would require a deliberate movement with no sense or purpose). (00:57:00)

Knives Out (2019)
Continuity mistake: When they are inspecting the outside of the house, one of the dogs brings to Marta the piece of trellis she broke. She holds it in close-up with the loop facing upwards, but as it cuts to Blanc shouting "Sweet beans!" the circle is pointing down. (00:59:00)
10th Jan 2020
Knives Out (2019)
Continuity mistake: Blanc is questioning the security person of the estate. In the close-up you can see him pin a picture to the board using one of the magnets. To the right there's a banana magnet. The tip of the banana on the bottom touches exactly the border of the picture almost in the corner, but in the wider angle we see the photo continues half an inch lower. (00:55:00)

Knives Out (2019)
Continuity mistake: Marta tries the back door of the apartment and stumbles upon Walt. When they talk, she fiddles nervously with her mail and brings up an unmarked envelope, which should be on top of everything since she just dug for it. When she retreats into the kitchen, she puts the mail pile on the table; in the first shot there's a bunch of business cards on top of everything; after a view of her face and upper body when she is not messing further with the letters, there's a close-up of her going through the mail, and the unmarked envelope is exactly on top, with the cards gone. (01:26:10 - 01:28:15)

Knives Out (2019)
Continuity mistake: After the reading of the will, the family storms the lawyer. Linda is reading the will holding it in both hands, which becomes one hand at the cut. (01:10:25)

Knives Out (2019)
Other mistake: Marta sinks her white shoes in the mud to cover her tracks. We see that the shoes are, as they should be, all dirty to the sole and welt. They are clean again in the following scene though (on a sidenote, the shoes have been cleaned after the murder then, and she or her mom missed the bloodstain - it's very much possible, it just adds a little implausibility). (00:57:20)

Knives Out (2019)
Plot hole: The killer shows up at the scheduled appointment at 8 AM. They kill the idiot blackmailer with an overdose of morphine. Remember, that morphine that supposedly killed Thrombey in 10 minutes. Marta finds the blackmailer at 10 AM...alive, and does CPR on them, keeping them alive long enough for the ambulance to come and bring them to the hospital, even if in critical condition. So we went from "kills in 10 minutes, you can't even try to save him" to "after 2 hours, you are still hanging on"? (01:56:10)

Suggested correction: Marta injected an absurdly large dose. A smaller overdose would not kill in 10 minutes.
I read that objection before. From 10 minutes to 2 hours there's quite a leap that the movie does not explain or address at all, if it were part of the plot they should have said why this difference, on something so time sensitive (of which they got the factual details wrong anyway). Even visually when you look at the dose injected to Harlan and the dose in the syringe for the murder, they do not look different. He even stabs her with the syringe. Which makes sense since he has no reason to leave her there with a small. Controlled overdose in her veins risking that she would be saved as it -almost - happens - it's amazing he got away with it to begin with because she is so dumb to show up for no reason in a derelict place without talking to her accomplice that passed her the toxi report, or anyone.Without a throwaway line from an investigator or anything of the sort ("but you injected her the wrong way, so she was still alive two hours after"), we are just left with an inconsistency.
Suggested correction: You've assumed a hell of a lot! Marta said Thrombey was given a dose of 100 mg (instead 3) of Morphine and would die in 10 minutes unless given the antidote. You just asserted that "Thrombey would die in 10 minutes" as if it was fait accompli, while Thrombey didn't die of morphine overdoes at all! (He cut his own throat.) For all we know, Marta's 10-minute assessment was a worst-case-scenario assessment. Fran's age and physique, as well as Marta's CPR, helped negate the effect until the ambulance arrives. If the medics administered the antidote, it could have prolonged Fran's life. Finally, 2 hours is the time after which the viewer is informed of Fran's death, not her actual death time. Most importantly, this happens in the medical world all the time: A person who is supposed to die after 3 days lives for 16 years. There are case-by-case explanations for each one, but they baffle the medical examiners at first.
Two hours is not my assumption or when the viewer is informed of her death; the killer gives the appointment to the victim at 8 AM and to Marta at 10 AM, so as I said, after 2 hours with 0 medical care on her she is still hanging on and with barely a little tap she is ready to dispense important clues. I go by what the movie says also about the 10 minutes overdose time. Of course if you tell me that baffling freak occurrences can happen all the time in medicine and that very precise statements from the movie don't matter because the character can just have gotten it wrong by over 10x and the movie does not acknowledge it at all, well, that's a very respectable opinion; mine is that fiction (a whodunnit, not a slasher flick with a killer surviving multiple gunshots and the like) is not reality and it should respond to higher standards than "I guess she was still alive somehow."
I re-watched the movie to verify that Fran was given an appointment at 8 AM. I discovered something new: The bottle that was injected to Fran contained only 5 mg of Morphine. That's 1/20th of what was "supposedly" given to Thrombey Sr. So, yeah, 10x is OK. In fact, 20x is OK.
No, no; it contains 5 mg of morphine PER ml, it's the concentration, not the total. Go back to the scene when Marta "messes up", the vials are the exact same as the one that Ransom injects (obviously, since they come from Marta's bag after all). It's new for you but I covered that already in the Factual Error about it. It's something that piles upon a previous mistake. She did not give him 100 mg of morphine because it would have emptied the vial (which is more than half full) and because a full vial of ketorlac would have killed Trombe regardless, at that concentration! The movie gets both the props and the medical facts wrong (100 mg of morphine does not even kill most patients, Harlan would have not died in 10 minutes especially since he takes safely big doses of toradol and morphine), but nothing - in the script - says that Marta or Ransom got basic medical facts wrong.
Okay! It seems mistake after mistake is piling up. Now, it appears Fran lived 4 hours, during 2 of which she was unattended. Plus, 100 mg of Morphine from a 5 mg/ml vial amounts to 20 ml of liquid. Well, now, everything you say makes sense... or at least most of the things. On the whole, I think it was a complicated situation.

Knives Out (2019)
Other mistake: During the revelation of the second death, when the killer opens the toxicology report they just retrieved, the date is revealed; it says it was issued on 09/27/2018. But the events of the movie happen in November (it's Sunday 18th Nov when Marta wakes up with all the reporters at her door). It should also be noted that when a close-up of the report was shown earlier (when Ransom was looking at the anonymous letter brought by Marta) that copy had a big stamp in a corner saying 11-17-18, that in this copy is totally absent.
