Continuity mistake: Cross screams Tracie's name as the cables give way and she begins to fall to her death. He is holding onto a large metal rod, but in the next shot he is holding the smaller branching part of the same guardrail. (00:04:55)

Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: Morgan Freeman shouts to the agent in the car "Don't move! Stay where you are." She is looking at her bloodied hand in front of her face as she slowly turns around, but in the next shot the hand is gone. (00:04:35)
16th Oct 2019
Belle & Sebastian (2013)
Continuity mistake: Walking back towards the village with the hunters, Sebastian tells them "I know why the Beast bit you." Between cuts, the hunters all of a sudden are in different positions and poses, to listen to him. (00:12:15)
16th Oct 2019
Super Robot Wars V
Character mistake: In a return attack line she uses fighting for instance dragon monsters, Mao says "I'm not one to get scared off my appearances." She means BY appearances (because she is facing big scary monsters).
16th Oct 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: After Mercusio gets shot, Cross has to face the senator, who tells him "and you're telling me you haven't a clue?" The agent walking past is nowhere to be seen in the reverse shot that follows. (01:19:00)
16th Oct 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: Alex Cross is picking up the wet jumper found in the channel after the murder of the fisherman. He holds the neck of the garment straight and tense, but in the close-up it's loose and in a curve. (00:49:15)
16th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Onna no koi wa snesouyo! Kakutou shintaisou de iza shoubu - S1-E12
Other mistake: When Akane and Ranma arrive to Furinkan High, it's 8 past 20. When Kodachi leaves, it's 8:35. 15 minutes is way too long of a time to have passed (and everyone would also be late for lesson). (00:01:50 - 00:04:40)
16th Oct 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: The first time that Cross spots Jezzie Flanigan, he is holding the Soneji picture in front of him, chest-height. Reverse shot and he is holding the position, but with the picture belly-high. (00:19:45)
16th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: Once Japp passes him back the seed packet telling him it's empty, Poirot checks it out; in the close-up he's holding the paper in a completely different way (the side instead of the top). (00:11:20)
16th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Sukeban no me ni namida? Rûru muyou no kakutou shintaisou kecchaku - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: After Kodachi has used her bladed hoop, Ranma gets the clavettes from Akane. In the close-up she uses them like nunchakus; too bad though that the chain she has at her wrist is gone. (00:06:20)
16th Oct 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: At Mercusio's place, one agent says he "was wearing prosthetic appliances." The reaction shot on Morgan Freeman shows him with a background that does not match the view of the room. (00:40:10)
16th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Kotsuban uranai! Ranma wa nihonichi no oyomesan - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: Panda Genma gets bumped off the podium by Tofu's mom, and his head crashes into a door panel towards the base. In the rest of the scene his head sticks roughly in the middle of it. (00:15:40)
16th Oct 2019
Martian Successor Nadesico (1996)
Hayasugiru 'Sayonara'! - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Uribatake is checking on the prisoners from the door. In the wide shot of the room, the admiral and the one next to him are at greater distance than their close-up that follows. (00:08:40)
16th Oct 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Continuity mistake: Cross is about to shoot at the window of the train to break it; he is holding on to the vertical bar of the cart with the thermos hand, but the bar is gone in the closer view. (01:10:20)
16th Oct 2019
Super Robot Wars V
Other mistake: One of the defeat/death lines of the AI enemies is "This unit has completed it's mission." Whoever programmed the AI, programmed the grammar wrong (should be "its mission").
16th Oct 2019
Martian Successor Nadesico (1996)
Midori no chikyû wa makasetoke - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: When Gai inserts the disk in the player, in the close-up other disks are close to it on the table, but in the wider shot nothing else is on the table but the player itself. (00:10:50)
16th Oct 2019
Along Came a Spider (2001)
Factual error: Outside of the house of Senator Rose are police cars of the Barcroft County Police. The police for Lake Barcroft are the Fairfax County police. (01:01:15)
16th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Wasps' Nest - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: Poirot is examining the photos taken by Hastings at the party. Depending on the camera angle, the pictures and their reciprocal distance change across the whole sequence. (00:15:30 - 00:16:05)
16th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
How Does Your Garden Grow? - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: Miss Barrowby pretends to have just then recognized Poirot, she lowers her left hand, but has it up when he nods to her, and he has his matching hand suddenly higher too. (00:09:00)
16th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Million Dollar Bond Robbery - S3-E3
Continuity mistake: When Poirot receives his platter of buttered brains, the delicacy that makes Hastings queasy is turned a different way in each shot (easy to tell from the asparagus). (00:28:05)
