Factual error: Summer and Carmen are at the saloon and catch on the local news the report of the kidnapping. The scene is set in Tuscany, Italy, but the news anchor is Spanish actress Paz Vega, speaking with an obvious accent and mispronouncing words. To make the whole situation even more absurd, she is supposed to portray a native Italian speaker, "Giulia Carni": the last name is Italian sounding but nonexistent in reality, and the headline used for the news report, "Nonna-napper", "kidnapper of grandmother" has such an awkward and unnatural sound and feel in Italian and for an Italian audience, that nobody ever would use it.

Continuity mistake: When Oscar is on the phone to learn about the location of the job interview in the warehouse district, the paper that was on top of the payphone jumps suddenly in the hand that holds the receiver to his ear, with the phone call already being over. (00:22:25)

Continuity mistake: Gina's father opens the door, club in his hand, and finds his family inside for the surprise party. In the reverse shot, Gina's position is also mirrored, having the right arm raised instead of her left. (00:08:15)

Continuity mistake: As the two assistant workers walk away from the prison building at the end of the first day, Charlotte Gainsbourg's grip on her folders switches between shots.

Continuity mistake: Henry Miller at the beginning of the movie is mooching a few Francs to go out with his wife who just arrived in town. As he is trying to get a few from Boris, Mona's hair keeps changing position in front or behind her shoulders.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the police catches the pickpocketer at the beginning, they literally lift him off the ground. There is a close-up shot in between, and the lack of continuity is apparent in the hand position of the man. Not just that: vehicles obviously disappear and appear in every cut.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the sequence with Terence Hill and Marvin Hagler giving chase to the bad guys, when the baddies break the guard-rail and supposedly drop one level, the lights of the chasing car are still fully visible through the back window before the good guys take the same dive from the highway ramp.

Sammo ★

Other mistake: In the opening credits, "Cameraman" is mispelled as "Camerman."

King Memses' Curse - S1-E13

Revealing mistake: Jack lights up a match to see better in the darkness of his prison with Jane. As Jane gasps, the match is extinguished, but the additional light in the room remains the same. (00:41:50)

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Other mistake: At the very end of the episode, Miss Lemon stops talking as if she could see Poirot glaring at her above the newspaper - while in fact, he is facing the other way.

The Third Floor Flat - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: Once Poirot hypothesises that the lightbulb could have been replaced, he curls back his finger pointed at the young fellas. New shot, and he is back pointing fingers. (00:18:45)

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Factual error: When Mr. Butler takes the hashish-laced cake, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) " is playing, composed in 1931, later than the 1928 setting.

Sammo ★

Murder in the Mews - S1-E2

Audio problem: In an empty golf course, at such a close distance as shown, there's no way Miss Plenderlieth would not hear Hastings calling Poirot, who "lost another ball." (00:41:20)

Sammo ★

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When cousin Guy tells Miss Fisher "You like your meat tender too", Isabella is sipping from the drink she lowered in the previous shot. (00:32:00)

Sammo ★

Four and Twenty Blackbirds - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Hastings carries the picture of the two brothers from Dulce to Poirot holding it by the bottom, top, side, depending on the angle. (00:13:45)

Sammo ★

King Memses' Curse - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher asks Dot to help her get out of jail, she is holding on to the bars in the close-up, but not in the wider angle. (00:34:10)

Sammo ★

Murder in the Dark - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher as Cleopatra loosens Jack's tie, what remains of the knot is different in the separate shots. (00:38:25)

Sammo ★

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Miss Fisher tends to the fatal wound of the victim, she slips one glove off, using it to plug the hole in his chest. She suddenly then has both gloves off. Even assuming the montage implies a lengthier amount of time elapsed, when she takes the box from the dying guy her hand is all bloodied up, but it shows much cleaner in the following shot. (00:03:40)

Plot hole: Obviously, tooth fairies are real, in this movie at least. During the movie, Derek has to retrieve each child's tooth and put money under the pillow. He's paged as soon as the kid loses the tooth, since he often has to wait till the kid goes to bed before intervening, and he is required to do it as soon as possible. But parents are doing the same, and at one point in the movie Derek actually stops a dad that just did the swap and extorts the tooth from him. That of course creates a parodox: the majority of parents in the world apparently have been subjected for centuries to the freak occurrence of finding already under their pillows mysterious money and their children's baby teeth missing as they go do the deed themselves. You can't have both the fairy and the parent do the same task.

Continuity mistake: When the Rock enters the first kid's room, pay attention to the blue building block on the floor and how it is turned. Just for the shots where the cat arrives and The Rock has to hide behind it, the block rotated 90°. It goes back to how it was a moment later, otherwise the curved path would not face the door and the Rock couldn't fly towards the door. (00:33:30 - 00:36:15)
