Continuity mistake: Kopo talks to the "district headman" and turns his heels followed by Shaft. To the right of the venerable man you can see three men, two of them with long spears in hand. In the reverse shot when Kopo begins to explain the situation to Shaft, the three guys are chilling with the spears no longer in their hands, the one in the middle turned in the opposite direction (away from Shaft) than before. (00:49:10)

Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: After leaving his belle, Shaft meets a man in the plains (Kopo, he says later). When that man lowers his stick, in the first shot (from distance) he's doing it simply letting the left hand go off it, but in the view with the camera right behind him, his motion is repeated more slowly and accompanying the stick with that hand for a longer period. (00:47:10)

Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: In his secret mission, Shaft keeps meeting assassins perfectly tipped about his position. Once he murders the one on the bus elbowing him in the windpipe (which, as we know, causes instant silent death) he grabs his wallet. He puts it in his left hand, but as he pushes back the ex-assassin in order get up his right arm is in a different position and is now the one holding the wallet. (00:38:55)

Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: In the scene with the tame lion at Shaft's arrival at the Ethiopian Hilton, the movements of the extras in the background are inconsistent from shot to shot (easy seen if you focus on the bright yellow valet loading the car trunk, which keeps having people appear and disappear by him). (00:31:55)

Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: In the Paris toilet, Shaft is ambushed by a fearsome assassin dressed as a cleaning lady. Three shots are exploded against the door (two that we see, plus one pre-existing hole presumably from one of the first bullets) but when he barges in the stall the door has 4 holes. (00:28:50)

Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: Shaft listens to all the info about the slave trade; Osiat always stands stoic without moving in single shots, hands on his stick pointed vertically before him, but between shots you can see the hands swapped position. A particularly obvious one since it's in a direct transition with camera on him happens when the Emir tells him to let his daughter in. There's a clear swap, and also a discontinuity when his hand suddenly is off the door handle. (00:22:10)

Shaft in Africa (1973)
Revealing mistake: Flashback to the truck on fire past the Franco-Italian border; the driver chops the lock open, with all the slaves inside banging desperately at the cargo doors to get out of the inferno. Or not; when there's a cut between shots, you can see the lock already came off, but the extras who are supposedly trying with all their might to escape death do in fact wait for the driver to open the door before they start coming out. (00:19:50)

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Other mistake: In chapter 2, the protagonist wakes up at 7am with the announcement and goes to check out Mondo and Taka as fast as he can. He meets them, and Aoi says "They've been like this all morning", but it's just a few mins past 7 and the cafeteria where all the captive kids have to gather has just opened.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Other mistake: In chapter one, when Sayaka Maizono comes to the protagonist's room and tells him in the React question; "Just a little while ago, I was lying down in my room...And all of a sudden, my door started rattling and shaking", the text is labeled wrongly as being spoken by Makoto Naegi instead.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Character mistake: During the last class trial (06), Kyoko recapping the vitals of the victim gets them wrong, saying she was 5'6" instead of the correct 5'7" as written everywhere else. Nobody corrects her (and the exact vitals are an important part of the trial, and the mistake happens exactly when they come into play). A wrong number slipped in the script.

The Knock Out Cop (1973)
Audio problem: Rizzo gets interrupted in his 'conversation' with Tom; he shoves away the guy with the horseshoe moustache, sending him offscreen. A noise of broken glasses and cracked wood is added, but in the following part of the scene the club is undisturbed, with a couple nearby and every table intact. It's only a minute later when the big guy comes back with a vengeance, that stuff starts breaking and people acknowledge violence happening nearby. (00:36:40)

Belle Starr (1941)
Other mistake: The old man is plowing the field in front of Belle's old residence. The little girl picks up the doll. A second before the cut, the girl lifts her eyes from the doll and does not look at her pops, or around; she looks right at the fourth wall and smiles, waiting for her cue. (00:01:50)
5th Nov 2019
Daphne & Velma (2018)
Continuity mistake: When Daphne says "Wow, sounds pretty intense" as a comment on the "GPA on steroids", her hair is in front of her shoulders; Mikayla responds, and Daphne's hair is gone from the right shoulder. Moreover, Spencer is holding his strap with his left hand, and he wasn't before. (00:08:55)

Along Came a Spider (2001)
Character mistake: Cross knows (for some reason) by memory the last words of the Lindbergh kid kidnapper (and killer) and that Soneji/Mercusio referenced in a book he finds in amazingly oblique ways. He calls him "Richard Bruno Hauptmann", while his name was actually Bruno Richard Hauptmann. (00:42:30)

Collision Course (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Costas picks the photo with the street gang graffiti detail from the print tongs, he holds the picture by the top corner in the close-up, the side in the following shot. Then in another close-up, similar hands and tongs disposition, inconsistent with the frontal views. (01:19:40)

Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: Cross begins his running game with the kidnapper. He says "I'm on my way to Sixth and Pennsylvania.", to which Jezzie goes "I'm left and behind ya, Alex." She is from behind using her right hand on the steering wheel, but she has the left on it in the following shot. (01:05:40)

Kim Possible (2019)
Continuity mistake: After the fiasco that gets Athena super-popular, she is talking with Bonnie. When she says goodbye to sit at Kim's table, people on the background appear between shots (such as the black guy who was a shot earlier to the right of the frame, and suddenly is to the left). (00:51:45)
5th Nov 2019
Adventures of Aladdin (2019)
Continuity mistake: Aladdin, his friend and the princess have been captured and are in the presence of the self-appointed (through the genie) Sultan. The lighting of the scene differs between shots, with clear light areas in the front view of the trio and homogeneous shadow from the back view. (01:03:00)
5th Nov 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Revealing mistake: At Mercusio's place, Cross is checking out a variety of material the maniac collected on Cross himself. Which include newspaper clippings but they're all the same one, by "Lisa Francescato", same article repeated, just omitting the first short paragraph the second time. (00:39:20)
5th Nov 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: The principal is trying to open the door of Soneji's office, but she can't. She is lowering the hand with the key and turning as she is told to "Stand back", but when Jezzie pulls out of the gun she is still hunched over with her hand on the key in the keyhole. (00:11:20)
