Sammo

Continuity mistake: When the doctor arrives at the second murder scene and shouts "Killings, killings!", David Niven by the door is in pose with his arms crossed, and at the cut he has one hand on his knee and the other on the opposite hip. (01:46:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The pool of blood by the maid's sleeve extends at a different length in the different shots when they find her body. (01:45:10)

Sammo ★

Stupidity: In the original novel, the attempt on Mrs. Doyle at the temples was made rolling a boulder off a cliff. In this adaptation, the culprit is said to 'dislodge' a large stone from the temple; you can however see that the stone is already dislodged and sticks out from its place on the pillar, and he had no way to know that the Doyles would be in that particular spot, making this attempt to Linnet's life rather nonsensical (requiring also herculean strength, no pun intended). (00:47:40 - 01:39:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Race ends up putting the stained handkerchief to (his) left of the gun, but in the close-up of the table the cloth is on the derringer's right. (01:30:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Race unfurls the packaging the crew dragged up from the riverbed, the part to his left (right of the frame) immediately comes undone and lines on the table, but in the close-up it opens differently. (01:30:00)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The Manager Of The Karnak Mr. Choudhury excitedly shouts "goody goody gumdrops" when the crew fishes out from the river the incriminating package. He then runs across the deck to bring it to the investigators. As he does that though, you can see on the floorboards already a wet trail from a previous take. (01:29:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Sam is assaulted at the hospital the first time, Ghostface misses Sam with his knife, which gets stuck on a poster on the board. By mistake, he 'stabbed' the third column of the text on the poster, but then the knife is stuck in the first column instead, then he pulls him out from the third column again, resulting in a hole in the second column. (00:23:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During Louise's interview, look behind her as she mentions that naturally, if she "were not able to sleep..." The corner of the room (with the armchair where Poirot sits when he steals Simon's lunch) is entirely in the shade, but it's brightly lit in the rest of the scene. (01:22:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Kindaichi follows the gang of rollerskating thieves in their hideout. The female leader says she has a question about his book, and hands him what he identifies as his book of short stories. He's holding it with the left hand in close-up, but in the next shot it's the right hand. (00:17:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: It's stabbing time for the two idiot killers; Stu is about to plunge his knife into Billy. Notice Matthew Lillard's necklace as he says "I'll remember"; it's above the sweater. Cut (camera cut, that is), and it's under the sweater. Next time we see it, back to a previous angle and to the necklace being above the sweater. (01:35:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Billy is taunting Sidney saying the game is called "guess how am I gonna die" he is holding the voice box in a different way between shots. (01:31:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Stu and Randy are begging Sidney at the front door accusing each other, Neve Campbell's hair is pressed against her body or on top of her right arm in different shots. (01:29:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Sidney discovers Tatum's body, we see her head intact, in particular the eye level. In her death scene, her cranium was being crushed right at the eyesocket. (01:07:25 - 01:22:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the doctor starts cleaning Simon's wound, there's barely any blood on the side, but in the next shot, from the side, there's still a lot of it. (01:04:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After her first time with Billy, Sid brushes her hair. She puts the brush back on the bedstand, but the phone on it changes angle between shots. Later in the scene, you can also see the brush's handle sticking out from the side of the bedstand by the bed, or the one facing front. (01:18:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Gale and Dewey nearly end up as roadkill for a bunch of teenagers who are really on a rush to go see Fonzie hanging by his entrails, Gail initially is on Dewey's right, and you can see Courteney Cox pulling David Arquette's right arm. The stuntpersons though are in a different position, the woman being on the left. (01:17:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Randy pauses Halloween to launch himself into the famous "rules to survive a horror movie" speech, look at the table. There are two bottles of beer, the leftmost one apparently still with a cap. You can still see it when everyone toasts to the "no drugs and booze" rule. But as he reaches the third rule, the "I'll be right back" one, that beer is gone, and Stu is leaving to get himself a new beer. (01:13:35)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: During Tatum's murder we see some problems exacerbate. The killers are not supposed to be invulnerable and are wearing a cheap costume, but they receive hard hits (Tatum breaks two bottles of beer, one straight to the face) and they don't have a single scratch. When she is killed, nobody hears her scream and nobody else needed to grab a beer either. Furthermore, Ghostface has the garage door fully open, but without knowing who is on the other side, that is one room away from the others, goes by the mysteriously unlocked door to the inside of the house. And we see Billy (who should be the killer there, since Stu was at the party) join in coming from outside.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the garage scene, the position of the items by the door and switches changes without in theory anyone touching them, and does it suddenly too. For instance look at the blue board and how it is tilted towards the railing after Tatum has thrown the last bottle, or how the silver and red board is in front or behind another item. (01:05:00 - 01:07:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Stu announces all excited that the chick from the news show is at the door, look at the necklace he's wearing, and how it changes position (barely touches his shirt's neck in close-up, it's lower in the wider angle). A few moments after, when Tatum beckons Dewey, he is even wearing it under the shirt - and Stu hasn't messed with his clothes in the meantime. (01:03:30)
