Plot hole: Muten sees Goku perform the technique his Grandpa used, and says "Shadow Crane Strike. I'd recognize that anywhere. How's Gohan?" A few scenes later he goes "Shadow Crane strike is the most basic of all the air-bending techniques." Which is it, Gohan's technique or a generic level 1 airbending spell? (00:30:55 - 00:34:50)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Plot hole: During the lesson at school, Goku learned that the eclipse is due to occur "in two weeks' time." The same night he goes to Chi Chi's party and Grandpa gets killed. The day after, he departs with Bulma for Paozu, which is pretty close to where he is (they go by motorbike). But in Paozu, Muten tells them that they have "seven days." (00:10:25 - 00:33:00)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: When Muten starts doing his silly posing saying his name, Emmy Rossum has in a close-up her wisp of hair comically looped across one eye. When she was seen earlier as the posing started, the hair was okay; it was messed up when she was getting up earlier. (00:30:36)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: Bulma approaches Master Muten's home moving along the right side of the stairs in the faraway shot, but saunters along the left in the closer take. When it's time to enter, she opens the door, left hand close to her body and not popping out...but in the next shot, the hand holds the dragon radar and is placed on the external wall. (00:28:20)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: Bulma is browsing in search for Roshi, while Goku eats a massive piece of meat. Right at the first cut, the extras that were walking around have completely disappeared, and throughout the scene, cars in the background never carry over from the previous time they were in frame, they just vanish between shots. (00:27:10 - 00:27:45)

Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Plot hole: Bulma tells Goku about "the little machine I invented. This can detect and locate the signature wavelengths emitted by the Dragonballs." Literally a minute earlier she was not aware of the existence of other dragonballs (which she called by another name she never uses again). She does not live far, since the theft happened only a few hours before, so if she believed already that other "Prometheus spheres" existed, how would she have never detected Gohan's sphere so close nearby when she built that radar of hers? Unless her radar has a ridiculously short range, and then it wouldn't be useful at all during the rest of the movie either.

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Japp does the comical fistwave at Poirot at the end, Poirot's carriage is passing by a line of people (woman with red coat, young woman with greenish one) that already passed by when the constable was giving the 'bad news' to Japp. (00:48:20)

Escape Plan (2013)
Character mistake: Schwarzenegger welcomes Portos saying "Your name. The fourth Musketeer. It's a good name." Port (h) os was one of the original three musketeers in the eponymous novel. To be "the fourth", his name should have been D'Artagnan. (00:31:55)

Baby's Day Out (1994)
Other mistake: The big lady and Veeko himself barely fit in the space between the building and the van, which are aligned. Yet Veeko has to just turn on the left to get a good visual of the lady who is now at the other side of the van itself. (00:32:45)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Adventure of the Cheap Flat - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Miss Lemon, as Penelope Maitland, enters the performer's room. The shady character that opens the door does it holding a cigarette in his left hand. The hand is kept close to his chest in one shot, while it's on the door in the reverse. (00:31:35)
7th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Adventure of the Western Star - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: In his preparations for the arrival of his idol, Poirot sets a bunch of flowers with a card ("Mlle. Marie Marvelle"). When we see the bunch later as Poirot has to leave to go to her, the card is absent - but he has not touched the table. (00:03:55 - 00:05:15)

Can You Keep a Secret? (2019)
Continuity mistake: Cybil tells Emma "clean up your desk" and turns around. Emma freaks out about it; Cybil's hand is coming from a high position, while when she started the turn in the previous shot, she dragged her arm away from a waist-high divider. (00:15:35)

Criminal (2016)

Continuity mistake: Bill Pope just went off the stolen bike and is descending the stairs to the tube; people around him change completely between shots (he moves past a short haired woman dressed in black that is a few steps ahead of him, too). (00:03:50)
7th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Adventure of the Cheap Flat - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: Poirot is doing his round of phone calls at night clubs looking for the chanteuse; the pen before Hastings' arrival is pointed to the left side of the screen, when he sits down (and Poirot has not touched it) it points to the right. (00:24:40)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Adventure of the Western Star - S2-E9
Continuity mistake: Japp shows his documents to the two policemen who caught him lurking in the bushes; when he says "Twigez-vous?" he's holding the card by the corner, while in the reverse shot ("Oh, very sorry, Sir") he's holding it in the middle. (00:25:30)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: Japp taunts Poirot, presenting him with the mystery. While he does that, he turns around towards himself the magic book. When he leaves, Suchet reaches for the book that is more distant from him and turned the 'right' way. (00:12:00)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Trivia: David Suchet performed all the various conjuring tricks Poirot is trying to pull off. The illusionist in the theater show at the beginning is the late Patrick Page, real life stage magician and coach/consultant for the episode.

Baby's Day Out (1994)
Continuity mistake: When Veeko spits his fingernails in front of the TV, Joe Mantegna and Brian Haley barely keep any continuity between shots (Haley's hand is turned with the palm up or down, Mantegna's pen hand is at different heights). (00:24:00)
7th Oct 2019
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: Muten wakes up and he hits Goku, sending him against the wall. Some slips of paper begin falling from the desk, but the quick cut to Chow Yun-Fat's face stops that from happening, everything that was falling off is perfectly still. (00:29:30)
