Continuity mistake: When the prisoners in the confinement holes talk clinging from the bars at the top, Jim Brown's hands are one bar apart in the overhead shot, 2 bars in close-ups. (00:00:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Molly Ringwald is on the phone at the club and gets approached by the girl in orange, throughout the whole conversation the position of the phone receiver in Randy's hand is wildly inconsistent. (00:09:30 - 00:11:00)

Misspent Youth - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Kai tosses the rock fragment next to the dagger, but in the following shot the distance between the two has increased dramatically. (00:31:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: As Shaft is stick fighting in the stable, the Emir's attendant makes a comment about his penis (no, seriously, he does!). The man is leaning against the door with his hand positioned 3 different ways in 3 different shots. (00:13:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Captain Bollin is questioning Shaft in his office, his hand position between shots is not always consistent. Best example when he asks Shaft about Mascola: he is leaning with his left hand on the top of the file cabinet, but he's shown rubbing his hands together in the following shot. (00:29:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the first meeting between Lou and Madeline Kahn, her fur stole changes position between shots almost more often than she changes names. (00:09:30 - 00:10:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the scene when Shaft is visiting Bumpy with Ben, Willy is playing solitaire. The very first transition between shots happens when Willy flips a card and lays it on the table, but the position of all the cards on said table have changed. (00:49:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Shaft accepts Bumpy's case, Bumpy tosses the envelope on the desk and it lands on top of Shaft's playing cards. When Bumpy gets up, the envelope suddenly changes position. (00:26:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: A fight happens inside Shaft's office: a shattered glass noise can be heard, but the door is intact. That is, until the fight is over and the plaid coat man flies off the window. At that point the front door glass is shattered as well. Moreso, a shattered glass noise is heard when someone ends up against the wall, but the frames don't appear broken at any point. (00:10:35 - 00:11:10)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Shaft gets approached during the credits by some bootlegger trying to sell him a watch. He flashes him a badge, which is held differently in closeup (finger up) compared to the full shot (just cupped in his palm). (00:02:30)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: During the credit sequence with the iconic Isaac Hayes theme, occasionally passersby look into the camera, but given the camera placement and the amount of people involved it's hard to label that as mistake. At one point tho, around the 2:50 mark, some tall dude walks into frame and waves a "black power fist" for the camera - he couldn't be greeting Shaft with the gesture because he does it when Richard Roundtree has already walked well past him. (00:02:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During Bumpy's visit to Shaft's office, the crime boss is sometimes wearing his hat with the buckle on the left, other times with the buckle on the opposite side. (00:19:20 - 00:26:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the gangster with the plaid coat is strangling Shaft, the supposedly first-person shot shows him with his thumbs all the way up as if he were crushing his temples in a head vice - he is instead choking him, thumbs under the chin. (00:11:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the brawl in his office, Shaft sends the plaid coated man flying all over the table to the left of the window, right where there's a white paper bag. A moment later in the fight, that flimsy paper bag is still where it was, totally uncrushed by his butt. (00:10:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Mr. Kelly pimpslaps Rita as she is grabbing her things, and he walks away to answer the phone. Between shots, the mules on the table have rotated, and in similar fashion the suitcase is also now parallel to the side of the table instead of being at an angle. (00:34:30)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: When Shaft fights the bad guys disguised as flower delivery men, both die with their blood packs that explode triggered by visible pyrotechnics - kinda odd to shoot a guy and see literally flames burst out from his chest or back before any blood comes out. (00:48:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Richard Roundtree is quite literally butt naked during his stick fight in the Emir's stable towards the beginning of the movie, except in one shot where the person in frame is wearing blue sweatpants. (00:12:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Young Shaft is meeting his friend at the bar: he has just his solitary drink before him when Karim arrives, but the drinks are now 2 with Sasha's arrival - only for a single shot, though, as just a single glass is afterwards. (00:11:40)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Billy finally finds his mom and talks to her in front of her apartment, the door behind her changes from (almost) fully closed to much more open, to an intermediate state, and fully closed again at the end. (01:25:30 - 01:28:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the Hulk scene at the diner, once Scott takes the picture of the kids, in the frontal shots he is holding the phone with his right hand and hands it to them, while the reverse shots don't match - egregiously noticeable when he says "I don't want a picture with them" waving an empty right hand. (00:38:05)
