Continuity mistake: When Brian Haley absolutely decks Joe Pantoliano with a smack to the back of the head, the delighted baby is shown in two close-ups. In the second he is not in the same spot (look at the cloth behind his head) and his hair is combed differently across the forehead. (00:17:20)

Ranma ½ (1989)
Ikinari ai no arashi chotto matteyo - S1-E3
Other mistake: Kasumi is untrained and does not possess any particular physical strength, but when Ranma jumpscares her, her bucket of water is flung in the air up so high that it takes several seconds to descend (this part of the scene does not have comical hyberbole overtones). (00:14:50)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Stupidity: Radnor lives in the small village, Hastings does not. It's a miracle that his bluff worked, since the random two guys downstairs could have very well been two villagers he didn't meet during the couple days he's been there a month before, but that Radnor knows.

The Knock Out Cop (1973)
Continuity mistake: Visiting the prostitute scarred with the sharpened coin, Rizzo looks at her in her hospital bed. In her close-up she is holding the bed sheet with both hands, but in the wider views before and after, nothing of the sort happened, her hands were off the sheets. (00:18:00)

Stuber (2019)
Continuity mistake: Stu just picked up Vic and he needs to do a U turn; first time we see the street there's just a parked car and no incoming vehicles from the worksite, but all of a sudden one appears for the rest of the scene, honking at Stu as he struggles with the maneuver. (00:17:10)
9th Oct 2019
Shaft in Africa (1973)
Revealing mistake: When Shaft props the dead guy on the bus against the seat, the blood he drooled on his arm is gone, and as he tries to shut the dead guy's eyelids the not-so-dead actor closes his eyes a second before Richard Roundtree's fingers get to his eyeballs. (00:39:05)
9th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Akane no shitsuren datte shouganai janai - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: Once she has smashed the bricks and leans against the wall, Akane's projected shadow in the close-up does not show the head, while in the wider shot with Ranma's shadow appearing, the head is very visible, at almost the same level as the hand's and close by. (00:20:00)
9th Oct 2019
Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: In the close-up of the lion looking at Shaft, the light of the scene is entirely different, plus he is also turned differently and with its tamer behind it when he was just a moment before leaning on the pillar. Despite being still, the lion moves around. (00:32:00)
9th Oct 2019
Stuber (2019)

Continuity mistake: After spearing Tedjo through the wall, Bautista throws a piece of equipment at him sending him flying back on his butt. Tedjo slides right past some artwork on the floor, but he is shown stunned at its side and partially on top of it in the following shot. (00:03:15)

Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: After killing Marco Sassari, Shaft goes back to the corpse of Kopo. He finds him lying down with his arms close to the body and a blood splatter all over the mouth and right side of the shirt. But he died with the arms spread and no blood from his mouth. (00:56:55 - 00:59:15)
9th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Asobi ja nainoyo gakkou wa - S1-E2
Continuity mistake: Kuko freaks out in class hearing that Akana is Ranma's fiancée. The clock in class points at 8:05, an impossible time (school begins at 8:30) and dissonant with the time shown by the clocktower in the shot of the rain stopping (which pointed at minute 45). (00:19:10)
9th Oct 2019
Baby's Day Out (1994)
Continuity mistake: When the three stooges are about to jump from their hideout's roof, in the shot from behind Eddie has just one foot on the cloth placed on the edge of the building, while with the camera in front he has both feet on it, and Veeko's right foot fits too. (00:26:50)
9th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Factual error: In June 1995, Vers listens to the Garbage song "I'm only happy when it rains", which was released in the second half of September (the song is presented at Pancho's so it's diegetic and part of the world, not just of the soundtrack for the audience).
9th Oct 2019
Shaft in Africa (1973)
Revealing mistake: Shaft kills two guys who are climbing the stairs out of the catacombs Amafi is holed in. No bullet holes or blood appear on the clothes, and they both use the railings to help their backward tumble down the stairs in a rather noticeable fashion. (01:46:00)
9th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Kidnapped Prime Minister - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: At Scotland Yard, Poirot is readying the glasses for the moment when Japp will pass him the paper he's reading, about the driver. When the view switches, his hands, that were above the desk level, start off from underneath the desk. (00:33:35)
9th Oct 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Gakkou wa senjouda! Taiketsu Ryouma vs Ryouga - S1-E8
Other mistake: In the establishing shot of the Study Hall one of the girls turning their back to the camera is Akane, recognizable by the yellow ribbon and by the two friends who chat with her. The hair is colored wrong though, pitch black instead of blue-ish. (00:05:00)
9th Oct 2019
Baby's Day Out (1994)
Continuity mistake: Veeko sits on a bench to scream in pain after the gorilla's less than friendly actions. In the background you can see the cleaning cart with the mop placed against the brick wall. In other angles the mop is against the doorframe instead. (00:49:10)
9th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Character mistake: The rude doctor says that Edward Pengelley "wouldn't poison his grandmother's dog", to which Poirot irately blurts out "but it is not the dog of Madame Pengelley's grandmother that has been poisoned." He should have said "of Monsieur Pengelley." (00:12:50)
9th Oct 2019
Shaft in Africa (1973)
Continuity mistake: Shaft is asking his charming teacher to shoo the jolly giant while they "get down to the finer strokes." He has a closed fist on top of the sofa, but a different hand pose with the thumb and index outstretched over the corner in the next shot. (00:23:35)
9th Oct 2019
Stuber (2019)
Other mistake: When Victor undergoes the eye surgery procedure, the doctors have opened his file, and it's in a June 2018 folder. The movie is set in August 2019, it's a bit unlikely that a whole year went past between the doctor visit and the actual LASIK. (00:12:05)
