Continuity mistake: Look at the station of the teller in the Racine bank. In the closest angles the pen by the calculator is at a perpendicular angle and touches the machine, while in the wider angles it is a bigger distance. (00:50:35)

This Property Is Condemned (1966)

This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: When Legate parries the slap by Alva, his wristwatch says it's about half past midnight. But it was half past already in the kitchen scene, 10 minutes earlier in the movie - so even longer in real time. (00:28:10)

Lucifer (2015)
The Would-Be Prince of Darkness - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: Lucifer enters the conference room of the "rebranding" of Ty. You can see Ty turn around in his chair, but after the cut he is still leaning against the table, performing the turn again a second later. (00:35:30)

The African Queen (1951)
Continuity mistake: Everything is suspiciously dry under the little makeshift tent Rose closed with her clothes, including the floor she sleeps on. When she opens the umbrella to repair Mr. Allnutt, it's wet already. (00:37:05)
19th Sep 2019
Lucifer (2015)
The Would-Be Prince of Darkness - S1-E3

19th Sep 2019
The Dead Don't Die (2019)
Continuity mistake: Bill Murray and Adam Driver approach Hermit Bob's campfire; in the close-up, the skinned rabbit is laid out exactly the opposite way than in the wider shots - head to the right, legs to the left. (00:01:25)
19th Sep 2019
This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: When Alva gets in the kitchen during the birthday party, Owen has not yet touched the chicken, but he's conveniently got a big mouthful of a drumstick in the next close-up, for comedy effect. (00:16:50)
19th Sep 2019
Bird on a Wire (1990)
Continuity mistake: The cop giving chase to Rick and Muffy can't stand being stuck at the railway crossing and takes off. On the sidewalk, a little family (dad mom and baby in a stroller) has suddenly appeared. (00:40:20)
19th Sep 2019
This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: Alva tells Willie the story of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis cupping her face. The handkerchief sticks out quite a bit in the wider shot but is neatly contained in her hand in the close-up. (00:20:05)
19th Sep 2019
This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: During the whole conversation with her mom at her bedside, Alva's head in the close-ups is resting in a different spot than the wider shots - just look at the colored cloth under her head. (00:29:30)
19th Sep 2019
This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: Alva walks Owen out of the railway office. They pass by JJ and the local manager sitting in the street having their lunch, but in a POV shot that follows, they have yet to move past them. (01:00:00)
19th Sep 2019
Are You Being Served? (1972)
Other mistake: When Mrs. Brahms is talking to Mr. Granger, Wendy Richards' voice cracks stifling laughter when she says "Mrs. Slocombe didn't like to take down your trousers without asking you first." (00:18:00)
19th Sep 2019
The African Queen (1951)
Character mistake: Breaking the news of war to the Sayers, Allnut tells them that the war is involving smaller nations like "Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Spain." Spain was not amongst the participants of WW1. (00:10:00)
19th Sep 2019
This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: At the night club, when Alva faces her Mama hitting her hands away as she invites JJ to dance, she has her left arm down in the wider shots, but stretched out of frame in the closer view. (01:22:25)
19th Sep 2019
Bird on a Wire (1990)
Factual error: Throughout the whole movie, plenty of cars from the police cars to Marianne's rentals, sport regular Michigan license plates, front and rear. Michigan does not issue front license plates.
19th Sep 2019
This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: Alva 'mistakenly' enters Owen's room. In the side views showing both characters, Robert Redford's hand is on his belly, while shot from the other side his hand rests on the mattress. (00:25:10)
19th Sep 2019
This Property Is Condemned (1966)
Continuity mistake: When Alva is listening to Mr. Johnson's proposal to get her a place of her own in Memphis, she does it with her left arm lowered, or up like she had it in the first part of the scene. (01:20:40)
19th Sep 2019
Are You Being Served? (1972)
Camping In - S1-E4
Other mistake: The episode takes place on March 2nd, 1973 (date of the newspaper shown by Mr. Mash), but in Mr. Rumbold's office the sale chart for the month of March is already fully filled up.
19th Sep 2019
Security (2017)
Revealing mistake: To kill the second and third guy at the food court, Eddie does a rather unlikely slide across the floor. His shirt is pristine even in the back, despite having sailed across soda. (00:57:40)
