Wu Assassins (2019)

Gu Assassins - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When we see the outcome of the fight between Jenny and Zan, Zan's very last move is a low spinning sweep kick. When Jenny lands, we see she has a cut above her left eyebrow, but nothing particularly significant. However in her next shot she's a crimson mask with that wound wider, blood that gushed down that cheek. (00:34:40)

Wu Assassins (2019)

Gu Assassins - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: Lu Xin is downstairs playing with his lighter. The first shot ends with the lighter held still with the decorated side towards him, while the following one has the the solid gold side face him. Moreover, when Jenny sits down he goes from having both hands on the lighter, to one hand on his bicep. (00:18:30)

The Purple Taxi (1977)

The Purple Taxi mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Philippe Noiret is sitting in his chair, drily commenting on the display previously offered by Charlotte Rampling when she was bare-breasted. During the scene, the position of his glasses as he suckles on them changes frequently, and at one point the arms go from folded 90° to less angled/straight as the view changes.

Dumplin' (2018)

Character mistake: Dumplin' is looking through her aunt's belongings, and finds an old application form for the Miss Teen Bluebonnet pageant. The application has an August 1993 signature but marks Lucy's DOB as 5/5/79 with a stated age of 16: it does not add up, as she'd have been 14 instead. Granted, it's an application she never actually turned in and not an official document, but this does not justify the mistake in the context of the movie (not to mention that had she just been too young to participate, the point of the movie would be moot).

Continuity mistake: Jennifer Aniston is backstage at one of the beauty pageant contests she is a special guest for. They hand her the envelope with the winner. She is fixing her hair with the left hand, which turns into the right hand in the reverse shot.

Dumplin' (2018)

Continuity mistake: As the young Willowdean puts on the table the Dolly scrapbook for the party before the doorbell rings, in the closeup she's running her left hand along it with the pinky and ring finger off the side, while in the previous and following shot she has her hand fully pressed to the cover.

Dumplin' (2018)

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, with Dolly Parton playing on the car radio, we see the nose of the car driven by Aunt pass by a red Kia with a bunch of girls doing their exercises running on the sidewalk. A few seconds later though, from the passenger window we see they are passing by the same car and same girls while the song is playing and they sing along to it.

Someone Great (2019)

Continuity mistake: When we see Erin and Leah for the first time, they're talking and smoochin'. Despite the conversation being continuous, the reciprocal position of their hands changes abruptly between shots at the beginning (Erin's hand is on the outside of Leah's, then on the inside, then outside again). (00:05:25)

Character mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, introductory technobabble. "In this canister, there's a solution of protons. The canister is attached to a rotor circuit that generates the protons to the speed of light." I believe the science genius and creator of time travel mixed up the words "generate" and "accelerate" here. (00:00:50)

Tooth Fairy (2010)

Factual error: Derek's license plate not only contains an illegal character (and Michigan's Secretary of State seems to be quite strict on vanity plates too), but also the state of MI issues just one plate. Derek's car has identical Michigan plates both front and back.

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As Miss Fisher gulps down her stiff drink thanking Butler the butler, she holds her hand in her lap all bent and twisted in a quirky claw shape. There was no indication of it in the previous shot, where she was simply rubbing her thumb. (00:06:35)

Death by Miss Adventure - S1-E10

Character mistake: Dr. Mac's first words in this episode are "Her name was Daisy Miller." Only, it was not. In the office with the boss, Jack asks about "Daisy Murphy's death", same for the tea lady. And in the end credits indeed her last name is Murphy. (00:01:30 - 00:05:55)

Ladies' Night - S1-E8

Plot hole: Tommy's interrogation scene is followed in quick succession (as CG jokingly said, the captain 'comes running') by the jail scene with CG. No matter what, the time elapsed is nowhere near 1 hour, or half of that, maybe barely a quarter.

Jessica Jones (2015)

AKA Ladies Night - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Jessica tells Trish "I was never the hero you wanted me to be" you can see in the foreground Trish's back. When she turns around after saying "I'll get your money", hair is under her scarf that was not poking out before. (00:40:20)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Wheels on Meals mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the limo pulls over to ask directions to the protagonists, Jackie has washed away the soap from one corner of the van, but when he turns around to talk to the bowler hat guy, the front of the van is back being all bubbly-soapy. (00:05:10)

Death at Victoria Dock - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: As they are waiting for the events to unfold at the bank in Church street, Miss Fisher tells the constable to try and look natural. The poor nervous chap holds his hand on the lapel of the coat at a different height between shots. (00:48:30)

Cocaine Blues - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When the music starts, Miss Fisher puts her glass down, behind Aunt Prudence to go dance with Sasha. Throughout the whole scene she had been the only one with a red drink, but this time she has a yellow drink like everyone else. (00:23:30)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: When the bad guy punches Lola Forner in the mouth, she falls over dropping her bag and box in front of her. On the floor, she does not move, and yet when the goons stand her up, her belongings are far back in the corridor. (00:43:40)

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the scene at the restaurant with all the fat guys, Moby (Sammo Hung) drinks wine by the decanter, and spills some on his lapel. When he is shown at the counter making his exit, the jacket is all dry. (00:32:40)
