Child's Play (2019)

Child's Play mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Andy returns home a little early and opens the door finding mom doing tonsil hockey with a dude named Shane. The multicolored wrapping in her hand switches instantly from right to left hand as she realises her kid is there. (00:09:20)

The Dream - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Poirot gives his enigmatic host a letter; he looks at it and puts it down on the desk. The letter is at an angle, but in the following reverse shot, the letter arranges itself neatly aligned with the registry underneath. (00:15:40)

Sammo

Blood and Circuses - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Jack and Hugh are checking out of the serial numbers of the banknotes. It's quite obvious during the sequence that Hugh has a couple of wads in his hands, then he is hands free, and then is holding the same wads as before. (00:39:30)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: The junkman played by Redd Foxx closes the door in front of the white guy, who gets in front of the broken window and shouts at him. His hand in the faraway view is on the sill, and in the tighter angle is at the side. (00:45:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: At O'Malley's release, he is approached by a man wearing a red fez. The people in the background change position at the close-up (the guy in orange turtleneck gets much closer to the one in a blue suit, for instance). (01:09:55)

Blood and Circuses - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: In the faraway shot, the snake is wrapped around the neck of the dead body full circle, while in the close-ups that follow and precede, the snake is draped across its neck and creeps up the right side of the deceased. (00:01:20)

Late Night (2019)

Continuity mistake: Molly says that the show has room for a bit of improvement. The monologue writer drops a pen on the notebook. Brief cut to Molly and when he says "whatever" her the pen is in a completely different spot. (00:19:25)

Lucifer (2015)

Alita: Battle Angel mistake picture

Continuity mistake: During the whole sequence when Alita wakes up in bed, in the closer shots the blanket directly by her pelvis is on top of the mattress, while in the shots from a wider angle part of the blanket dangles off the side. (00:04:00)

Four and Twenty Blackbirds - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As Poirot and Hastings watch the farce, the sword gets grabbed from the table by two hands, the left one doing the lifting by the handle. But the comedian in the following shot has it in his right hand. (00:32:04)

Sammo

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Bert and Cec put their groceries down in the kitchen, Cec takes his hat off, Bert does not and shows no contempt about it. After a brief cut, once Miss Fisher is exiting the room Bert is now without his hat. (00:13:50)

The Boy Next Door (2015)

Continuity mistake: Claire is talking in the corridor to the principal: he hands her the transfer request, his fingers let the paper go, but in the following shot he's still holding the top of the sheet. (00:31:55)

Sammo

Four and Twenty Blackbirds - S1-E4

Factual error: At the art gallery, Poirot and Hastings are looking at a painting identified as "Man Throwing a Stone at a Bird" by the surrealist Joan Miro. But the painting featured is completely different from the real one. (00:21:50)

Cotton Comes to Harlem mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When O'Malley's lawyer arrives in front of the precinct, no protester is left in the street, at least the part behind him - in the following close-up though, in the background a few extras populate the frame. (01:06:05)

Sammo

The Dream - S1-E10

Other mistake: At the end of the episode, the clock Poirot presents to Miss Lemon is pointed exactly at 3:28, which would be the time of the murder in the original novel, not in this adaption, when it was changed to 12:28.

Sammo

Problem at Sea - S1-E7

Audio problem: When Hastings is caught off guard by the premature launch of the clay pigeon, he fires a couple of shots in a haste. Fairly obvious that he does not, and the mere sound of it has been added in postproduction. (00:01:40)

Sammo

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Plot hole: When Arthur makes his appearance in the room during Jack's preliminary visit, nobody addresses him by name, and yet Jack simply says he'll have to question every member of the household "Including Arthur." (00:05:00)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: Alita sends Zapan face-first into a wood table when he grabs her by the throat. When the section of the table breaks, a bowl with snacks is still on it. When Zapan reacts, the bowl is gone. (01:00:05)
