Continuity mistake: Jamie is holding at (toy) gunpoint Eddie; she has her thumb on the 'barrel', but it cuts mid-sentence to a close-up as she says "You don't cut me out and don't talk to me like a child", and her thumb is now on the 'fore-end' (if it makes sense with a toy weapon). (00:31:25)

Security (2017)
25th Sep 2019
Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: When Vance does the military salute to welcome Eddie on the team, getting an icy stare and "Really?", in the two shots there's a glaring discontinuity in the position of Vance's epaulette, arched in the first shot, straightened out perfectly in the second. (00:20:15)
29th Sep 2019
Tamagotchi
Other mistake: In the Gameboy version, Professor Banzo in his tips section gives the ever useful advice; "Remember to FLASH the toilet."
7th Oct 2019
Kiss the Girls (1997)
Continuity mistake: Talking with the feds about the case, Cross says "This guy's a collector." Kyle Craig in the background goes from holding a pad to a folder, and then closes it multiple times when it was closed to begin with. (00:24:00)
25th Sep 2019
Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: When the evil boss is trying to talk Vance into opening the door, in certain shots the gap between the doors is barely as wide as Ben Kingsley's head, in others the gap is much larger, and he is leaning closer to either side. (00:28:00)
28th Sep 2019
Ranma ½ (1989)
Chûgoku kara kita aitsu! Chotto hen!! - S1-E1
Other mistake: When Ranma is battling Genma at the very beginning, she slides into the main road. Behind her is a vending machine for drinks, only, it's marked "DOLINK" (bad transliteration). (00:03:00)
7th Oct 2019
Criminal (2016)
Continuity mistake: Bill Pope just went off the stolen bike and is descending the stairs to the tube; people around him change completely between shots (he moves past a short haired woman dressed in black that is a few steps ahead of him, too). (00:03:50)
30th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Gertie and Joey make their escape running down the stairs of the hall, they pass by a couple (she has a white hat and a blue dress). When Poirot and Japp run after them, the same couple has jumped back several meters. (00:43:00)
30th Sep 2019
Bird on a Wire (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Mel Gibson is shown biting Goldie Hawn's leg he is obviously in a position with his belly down. And yet, when the car steers to the right in response to this peculiar stimulus, we see the body of the person in the car with their feet pointed up. Similar mistakes happen throughout the whole sequence. (00:38:05)
10th Oct 2019
Adventures of Aladdin (2019)
Revealing mistake: "Prince Ali" descends on a magic carpet surrounded by fireworks...in a hall that is roughly 20 feet high. The scene is played 'straight' and not as parody. (00:39:10)
1st Oct 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: Viggo Mortensen is preparing to cut off the fingers of the cadaver. He flips his tie over the shoulder in the close-up, but in the following view of the room with Cassel patting his ass the tie is down his chest again. Goes back over the shoulder for more close-ups. (00:20:05)
25th Sep 2019
Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition
Other mistake: Throughout the game (cutscene with Terry, banner and posters in Billy Kane's stage) several times the name of the tournament is written "King of THE Fighters", with a misplaced "THE" that screams betrayal considering the most popular SNK franchise and storyline tournament, started by the first Fatal Fury itself, is "The King of Fighters", the complete title of the first FF being "Fatal Fury; King of Fighters."
30th Sep 2019
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: When the fake Chi Chi points the gun at Goku, her hair suddenly is all the way in front of her arm/shoulder, in a noticeable difference with the previous take. (00:59:25)
28th Sep 2019
Love Is a Ball (1963)
Continuity mistake: When John Davis is approached at the beginning of the movie, he is sitting at a bar table. Depending on the camera angle, he is resting his cheek against a closed fist or his thumb. (00:04:00)
25th Sep 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: Kiril and Nikolai hug in the wine cellar. There's a constant back and forth between two angles where Vincent Cassel's hand is positioned differently, either on Mortensen's back, or shoulder. (01:08:40)
27th Sep 2019
The African Queen (1951)
Continuity mistake: Rose offers Charlie to help with the propeller. He says "Here goes" and motions to go back underwater. Katharine Hepburn's hands are on the vertical supports sticking out. Not a moment has passed (you hear the plop of him actually submerging) and in this new reverse shot her hands are by those same supports, not on them. (01:07:15)
9th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Double Sin - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: In the car chase, when the woman turns to check the police behind them, the close-up on the steering wheel does not match the position of her hands before and after. Similarly her passenger has the right hand visible when it shouldn't be. (00:28:45)
2nd Oct 2019
Fatal Fury: King of Fighters
Character mistake: One of the cutscenes of the game happens between the 5th and 6th round, Hwa Jai and Raiden. Geese, the main villain, botches the name of his henchman saying "Riden." (Fixed in the SNES and Genesis version, still in the various versions on Playstation).
30th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Poirot does the newspaper trick for Miss Lemon, the final reveal has him present the newspaper holding it between index and thumb in the front view, index and middle with the thumb sticking out in the back view. (00:42:10)
10th Oct 2019
Adventures of Aladdin (2019)
Continuity mistake: The Genie creates a royal palace for Aladdin, who pranks him, acting unimpressed. He then cracks up and throws an arm over his shoulder. He is holding the lamp in that hand, but at the cut, he's holding it in the other hand. (00:35:20)
