Sammo

Continuity mistake: Second part of the conversation when Emma right away spills the 'secret' to Lissy; forgetting the fact that they both have refills for their drink (we just assume they had one off-camera not shown), the wine in Lissy's glass changes level from shot to shot several times (for instance when she listens to Emma once she answered about the dead guy it empties in mid-air, or when she suggests to "do it at work", the glass is refilled in the reverse shot). (00:23:50)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: During the business meeting with Emma's boyfriend talking about Millenials, when he says "Your Grandpa is not our target demographic", keep an eye on the woman with the shaven head; she is playing with her pen in Emma's reaction shot but her hands are perfectly calm and flat on the table in the shots before and after. (00:33:55)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

Continuity mistake: Eddie falls from the roof and breaks his fall on a window-mounted air conditioner. In the close-up through the window, no cable can be seen behind Joe Mantegna's head (supposed to be there as he took it down with his crotch earlier), but it is there in other shots. (00:27:00)

Baby's Day Out (1994)

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)

The Cornish Mystery - S2-E4

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.

Sammo

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)

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)

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)

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)

Stuber (2019)

Stuber mistake picture

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)

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)

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)

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).

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)

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)

Ranma ½ (1989)

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)
