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.

Along Came a Spider (2001)
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.

Adventures of a Pizza Guy (2015)
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)

Along Came a Spider (2001)
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)

Along Came a Spider (2001)
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)
24th Nov 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
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)

Along Came a Spider (2001)
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)

The Dark Half
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.

Gemini Man (2019)
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)
24th Nov 2019
Gemini Man (2019)
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)
24th Nov 2019
Gemini Man (2019)
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)
24th Nov 2019
Gemini Man (2019)
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)
24th Nov 2019
Gemini Man (2019)
Continuity mistake: Henry is on Jack's boat. Jack displays on his computer the photo of Henry's victim and asks him if he knew who he was. When Henry answers "Valery Dormov, terrorist", look at the table between them. When the angle changes, Jack's hand is in the sunlight, while there was none on the table in the earlier view. (00:10:00)

Gemini Man (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Henry kills his mortal enemy after picking the change up from Danny, dollar notes stick out from his wallet, but he had already tucked away neatly the cash in the earlier, closer shot. Danny's expression at the next cut also changes. (00:08:00)
24th Nov 2019
Gemini Man (2019)
Continuity mistake: First meeting between Will Smith and Mary Elizabeth Winstead; he asks "Where's Jerry?" and she puts her white and blue pen down. But in the next shot, she is holding it. As the scene continues, the pen jumps back to the table and switches position in virtually every cut. (00:07:30)
24th Nov 2019
Gemini Man (2019)
Continuity mistake: After what he plans to be his last hit, Henry Brogan does some product placement and sits down with his boss Del that came to him to visit. The couch next to Del has a big area lit by sunlight, but during his close-ups there is no direct light on that spot. (00:06:00)
24th Nov 2019
Gemini Man (2019)
Revealing mistake: A major selling point of the movie is the CGI technology used to de-age Will Smith. The effect works for the most part of the movie, including scenes in daylight, but in the last handful of minutes, maybe because of the plain 'happy-ending' light used, maybe for budget reasons, the face of Junior is thoroughly unconvincing, with a dramatic drop in quality in textures and modelization. (01:44:30)

Ranma ½ (1989)
Ranma daisuki! Sayonara wa iwanaide!! - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: Shampoo tries to use her shampoo technique on Akane a second time, but Ranma protects her. She gets caught with the right foot, in close-up too, but at the cut the leg behind is the left one. (00:05:00)
23rd Nov 2019
Lupin III (2015)
The Left Hand of the Magician - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: In the buff acrobat's flashback/narration of Fujiko's seductive ways, she is pulling Luca in with the towel, but Luka is facing away from her in the first shot and towards her in the second. (00:05:40)
