Bird on a Wire (1990)

Trivia: When the agent pulls from the computer record Richard's file, an alias listed is "David Putnam - Columbia Pictures", employed from 06/04/1973 to 02/01/1975. That's an obvious reference to producer David Puttnam (two Ts), who had a brief stint as head of Columbia Pictures in 1986-87, not making many friends in the then Coca-Cola owned production company.

Murder in the Mews - S1-E2

Other mistake: Miss Lemon reminds Poirot of the dentist appointment he has at 11. Poirot then receives a phone call from Japp. It turns out during the investigation that the police broke into the apartment at 10:45. Considering that at least a preliminary examination needed to be made and at the time of the phone call Japp was in his office and Poirot was still comfortably having his tisane, everything leads to believe that the dentist appointment should have been later in the day (or the events at the Mews sooner).

Charlie St. Cloud (2010)

Charlie St. Cloud mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Charlie is coaching Sam in baseball at the beginning of the movie, they get on the road and he beckons to him. In the first cut, people in the background change (most obviously, a guy is crossing the street behind him, but vanishes in the second shot). (00:07:45)

Anna (2019)

Factual error: The movie starts in 1985, jumps '5 years later' and then back to Sasha Luss, then '3 years earlier'. So, in her crusty apartment in an impoverished neighbourhood of 1987 Soviet Russia, Anna is filling a form on her notebook-style laptop, too modern for the era. It looks like a NEC UltraLite (considered the first notebook style laptop) which didn't even come out until 1989, let alone the likelihood of someone in the USSR having one.

Continuity mistake: Marina (Fernanda Torres) gets interrupted by her husband and her dad's toilet humor as she is reading the draft of the petition for the sanitation project. Her dad Otaviano (Paulo José) has his glasses in hand in front views, but still wears them in the reverse shots. (00:02:55)
