Continuity mistake: When Mitch and Matt are on the jetski headed out to the burning boat, Mitch tells Matt to take the throttle, and we see both of Mitch's hands remain on the steering, but in the next shot Mitch has the rescue can's black shoulder strap hanging crossbody across his chest; it has suddenly appeared between shots.

Kung Fu (1972)
Visible crew/equipment: After Caine tells everyone the bird is only a creature of the earth they rush to see the boy, and just as the door is opened in the overhead shot we can see the hair of a crewmember under the crow, at the left side of the screen. Presumably it's the animal trainer. (00:28:30)

Kung Fu (1972)
Visible crew/equipment: When the crow is on the cross Caine tells the crowd there's nothing to be afraid of in a bird, and just as he explains that it's only a creature of the earth, the shadow of the animal trainer can be seen motioning to the trained bird, then it flies off and lands on the trainer's hand. Funny to see Caine and the crowd turn and pretend to watch the bird fly in the opposite direction. (00:28:10)

Kung Fu (1972)
Revealing mistake: When Fierro's hawk lands on the boy's arm, we can see the protective gear wrapped around the boy's arm under his sleeve. (00:06:10)

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978)
Visible crew/equipment: Near the start, after the chopper crashes in the field, while Jack Riley is talking to Von Schauer and George Wilson we can see the small microphone clipped to Jack's shirt under his tie. (00:05:40)

Self-Inflicted Wounds (2): Wait for the Wheel - S3-E4
Jool: Then why did I survive?
John: I don't know. You're not sick. Maybe they shanghaied you for body parts. You're the freebie.
Jool: Everything I have seen so far is despicable!
John: Welcome! To the Federation Starship S.S. Buttcrack!

Losing Time - S3-E9
John: [To Pike DRD] We're gonna have a little chat. Moya must know that there's something seriously wrong with Pilot. We gotta get that thing out of him. Does she have any idea how we can do that?
Pike DRD: Beep, beep, beep...
John: You understand any of this?
Chiana: No.
John: Alright, we don't understand the R2D2 crap. We're going to use the Star Trek system. One blink for yes, two blinks for no. You understand?
Pike DRD: [Blinks once].

[Rygel stealing John's boots.]
John: Rygel! What the hell are you...where am I?
Rygel: [Lying] You...you died down on the planet.
D'Argo and...and Aeryn brought your corpse up here and I...I revived you. Oh...yes. The others, yeah, they wanted to set your body adrift, uh...but I insisted I could save your life. And I did!
John: [Laughing] Of course you did. It's not Kansas. And you're way too homely to be Auntie Em. Come here, Toto. [Gives Rygel a big kiss].

The Lucy Show (1962)
Revealing mistake: While Lucy and Vivian are on the boat we can see the two long tracks on the floor in the boat's galley, so when Viv falls asleep in the chair she brought from home, the chair legs are able to keep gliding along the tracks on the floor from one side to the other. (00:19:45)

Peter Pan (1953)
Continuity mistake: At Skull Rock, when Captain Hook is swallowed by the crocodile Smee conks him on the head, and while Hook is underwater note that he has a left hand and his hook is at his right side, but it should be the opposite way. (00:45:00)

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Other mistake: While Indy and Henry are aboard the zeppelin Indy tosses Vogel out the lounge window, and when Vogel shouts up to the departing airship, in the next exterior shot we see the zeppelin airborne against a scenic view. Later, when Indy realises the zeppelin is turning around it cuts to another exterior shot of the airship, and the scenic view is identical to the earlier shot, only it's been flipped. The images of the zeppelin facing two different directions were composited onto the same scenic background.

Charlie's Angels (1976)
Continuity mistake: After Sabrina gets off the phone with Faylon, when she leaves her hotel room we see the exterior side of the door and its door knob. Later, when Sabrina returns to her room the doorjamb/casing, wall, and door knob are not the same in the closeup as she fiddles with the lock. Sabrina's ring vanishes in the closeup as well. (00:15:20 - 00:21:15)

Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade (1989)
Continuity mistake: When Indy comes face-to-face with Hitler he hands over Henry's diary with its black elastic around the back cover, but in the closeup as the signature is being signed the elastic is around the front cover, then it's around the back cover again when Indy takes the diary back.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Continuity mistake: The mine cart Willie pushes and then climbs into does not have an actual braking mechanism at the bottom of the braking pole, but after Indy joins Willie and Shorty in the mine cart there's a sudden appearance of a metal braking mechanism, which is attached to the pole and base of the cart, for use during the chase.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Lao Che's goons toss Indiana onto the dish cart, in the next shot just as Indy notices the rolling vial on the floor and reaches out to it, at the top left of the screen we see broken dishes and broken remnants of the band's podium lying on the floor, but the problem is the goons haven't yet pushed Indy's cart into the podium, which happens three shots later.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Continuity mistake: During the mine cart chase, in the first wideshot of Shorty being pulled between the two carts where we see the lava under Shorty, this is a flipped shot. Note Indy's ripped sleeve is at his left side instead of his right, and the stripe on the Thuggee's turban is the opposite direction than it should be.
27th May 2018
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Continuity mistake: After Wu Han is shot there's a closeup of the gun in Chen's hand, and as the camera slowly pans up to Chen's face note the carnation is on Chen's right lapel, though in the previous and following shots Chen's boutonnière is on his left lapel. The closeup is a flipped shot.
25th May 2018
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Short Round rams the car into the back of the rickshaw, in the next shot facing the rickshaw driver we can see that he loses his right shoe (viewer's left) just as he's lifted into the air, but his shoe returns in following shots. (00:12:05)
