Careful What You Wish For - S2-E17
Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, a bunch of money falls from a building. Of course people are grabbing it but when the First Responders show up, everything has miraculously been cleaned up. No money to be found. With the amount that has fallen and the chaos, there would likely be some left over. The street is squeaky clean.

Visible crew/equipment: As the bad guys are leaving the dig site for Cairo, there is a shot of the black vehicle (lead car) looking right at the driver. On the bottom of the shot is a shadow of film equipment that shouldn't be there. The shot lingers, so the shadow is very visible. (01:22:50)

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Continuity mistake: Arnold holds a hot stick of metal to Marion's face in her bar, threatening her. In the opposite angle, the metal is nowhere to be seen when it should be right next to her face. Cut back to the other angle and we see it again.
