The Tragedy at Marsdon Manor - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: Poirot slams the newspaper on the breakfast table when Naughton asks him if the accomodation "was all right." But it is turned in opposite directions at every cut. (00:14:55)

Sammo ★

The Double Clue - S3-E7

Character mistake: Hastings and Miss Lemon return to the apartment after their visit to the various suspects. Hastings though closes the door leaving the key in the hole, outside. (00:29:20)

Sammo ★

Re-Entry to Earth - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: During the atmospheric re-entry, Char in the capsule is clinging dramatically to the front seat with his right hand in close-ups, but never in wider angles. (00:17:30)

Sammo ★

Escape from Luna II - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: The cart with the prison meals is carrying 5 trays the first time it is shown in close-up. Inside the cell though, Kai takes his from a pile of 6. (00:08:40)

Sammo ★

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Major Rich is interrupted playing billiards, the shadows on the playing table have inconsistent angles between shots. (00:11:30)

Sammo ★

The Mystery of the Spanish Chest - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: Japp hands Poirot the phone in his office holding it with the left hand, which turns into the right hand at the cut. (00:40:10)

Question: At the end of the movie, Will Smith (the older one) has a present for his son/brother/younger self; his official documents he apparently did not have. Passport, driving license and birth certificate; he congratulates him on his name choice. And he gives those to him as Junior is walking out of the college campus, which he obviously is already frequenting and where he made many friends. I know the US system allows undocumented students, but can you even enroll without the most basic ID? In particular since he is in Georgia, which reportedly is one of the strictest states about it.

Revealing mistake: Throughout the movie, practically every victim ends up with a broken, twisted neck. The "special effect" used for those deaths is...the actors wear their jackets backwards. It is made even more evident by the plot twist at the end.

Sammo ★

Factual error: The 'game' set up by Soneji is a whole bunch of computer science-fiction nonsense seen only in movies, with the common factual error of blurry pictures that can somehow be zoomed in ad libitum. The IT agent comments when Cross has clicked on a picture from the camera recording of the class; "Dr. Cross isn't in cyberspace anymore! You're at a live site, looking through a video camera", which does not even make sense. The sequence that follows is not a camera feed, with a real camera being moved, but a panoramic composite shot of the room.

Other mistake: Megan is kidnapped during the lunch break, and when Cross reaches the Rose residence, his friend from the FBI tells him about the forensics exams not netting any results. When he gets to the crime scene the day after, though, it's swarming with feds who are still doing things like checking the computer stations and even photographing the chalklines of the strangled woman, all sort of investigations that you'd expect to have happened already in the previous 24 hours or so.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, the first thug is trying to convince Brennan to handle the gun. He repeatedly uses the trigger to show him that the gun is harmless; in the next shot the weapon mid-sentence is already turned around the other way, held out for Brennan. (00:01:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Cross and Jezzie are en route for Soneji's office but get stopped by a backhanded comment by agent Ben Devine. During the sequence, there are 3 people talking behind the two investigators; they are either on the left or the right side of the corridor, depending on the camera angle. They just want to be in frame. (00:32:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the scene with the senator's wife sticking with Cross after the attempt to undermine him, Megan wakes up. Between the actual shot of her and the camera feed the sheets are touching the ground in a different way, and quite evidently the shadows cast in the scene are completely different. (00:24:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Cross is discussing who is in charge with Kyle, who just handed the evidence to an agent. In the same shot you can see the fed that gets in the background between them. At the cut, he's turned around facing towards the right (of the screen) while he was turned towards the left in the previous shot. And when they walk away, he has now his back turned to them entirely. (00:19:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Alex Cross encounters his old friend from the FBI, Kyle Craig. He briefly shows him the pieces of evidence; check out of the strap on the recorder; it is dangling in its length at first, and it is up entangled in Cross' fingers in the reverse. And Craig is holding the bagged boot in a different way (the hand is turned the opposite direction) in the two shots. (00:19:10)

Sammo ★

Plot hole: The main character finds the dead journalist at the beginning of the movie, walks back to town using the main road, and when he gets there not only have the police found the cadaver already, but the barman knows all about it, including the outcome of the questioning of the witness. Stellar police work and mad gossiping skills, all without the police cars passing by the unsuspecting Thad and arresting him.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the two protagonists escape, the bad guy and the DIA director assess the situation. Linda Emond is holding the tablet in her lap after Clive Owen angrily handed it back to her; it is positioned 90° differently between shots though. (00:24:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Outside of Pelican Point, Danny asks Henry why is he retiring. Will Smith's hand is at the level of his 4 buttoned shirt button as he sighs to reply, which he does in the following shot, where his hand is definitely held up higher. (00:17:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Brogan is apologizing to Danny for his inquisitive demeanor as she is talking to a customer. The sat phone by the monitor is in a different position between takes - look at how its antenna is entirely on the blue pad or pokes out of it. (00:15:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Brogan comes back from his little boat trip and confronts Danny with the bug he found in the console. During the sequence with her sitting by her book, the wires on the desk (her headphones') change position multiple times between shots. (00:13:45)
