Hey Arnold! The Movie mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the start, while the neighborhood crowd watches Scheck make his statement at the televised press conference, when Eugene begins to sing, mailman Harvey's buttons have switched from his right side to left side on his uniform shirt. Harvey's moustache has vanished in the interim as well (his white undershirt also disappears and reappears). (00:03:25 - 00:04:40)

Hey Arnold! The Movie mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Bridget gives the "synchronized, programmable, glow-in-the-dark watches" to Arnold and Gerald. When the two boys steal the safe's key from Nick, they wear their watches on their left wrists. Then, Arnold and Gerald get on the city bus, and thereafter for the rest of the movie, both of their watches randomly vanish and reappear during numerous successive shots, as well as mid-shot.

Twister mistake picture

Revealing mistake: At the start, while Jo and her parents are inside their storm cellar, Jo's father attempts to hold down the overhead cellar door during the tornado. Then, just as the F5 yanks the cellar door up along with Mr. Thornton, we can see the cable link that is attached between the actor's back and the cellar door, for this stunt. (00:04:20)

Episode XCII - S5-E1

Deliberate mistake: Jack stops his motorbike beside a stream, and Jack's weapon strap crosses over his left shoulder when he walks over to have a drink. The problem is when we see Jack's reflection in the water, his image is not reversed; note the strap is still crossing over Jack's left shoulder. (00:07:20)

UFO (1970)

The Cat with Ten Lives - S1-E3

Deliberate mistake: When MoonBase Interceptor pilots put their helmets on before launch, the mics are on the left side of their helmets, but when they're space borne to intercept UFOs at least one pilot closeup is a flipped shot. Then, after Lake says, "They're wide open now, where are they," the interior closeup of a cockpit is also flipped; note "GYRO" is reversed. (00:02:25 - 00:04:55)

UFO (1970)

The Cat with Ten Lives - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: Right after the "Immediate launch" on MoonBase, when it cuts to Miss Holland, she's walking from her office into Straker's office. The cat runs away from Holland, and in the cat's close-up, it exits Straker's office. However, this doorway is not leading to Miss Holland's office in this close-up. (00:41:20)

UFO (1970)

The Square Triangle - S1-E10

Other mistake: With the red alert at MoonBase, all three Interceptors are launched with their loaded missiles. Then, as the UFO gets closer, the Interceptors are within range, yet Straker orders them not to intercept. However, when the three Interceptor pilots are told to return to MoonBase, all three Interceptors are inexplicably missing their missiles. (00:03:25 - 00:05:35)

Family Guy (1999)

The Big Bang Theory - S9-E16

Continuity mistake: When Bertram sneaks into Stewie's bedroom, he tiptoes past Stewie, who is sleeping. But in the next close-up of Bertram, the shot pulls back and pans the room so we see Stewie's crib is empty. But in the next shot, Stewie is still sleeping, and then he wakes up. (00:10:25)

Samurai Jack (2001)

Episode XXIX - Couple on a Train - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: After Jack releases the train's log load, it thwarts Ezekiel temporarily. When Jack enters the coach car and takes his seat, it then cuts to an exterior shot of the speeding train's passengers as it passes the windows, and Josephine's beauty mark is missing from her right cheek, though we should absolutely see it in this shot.

Continuity mistake: When the train leaves the station, it begins the journey with three coach cars, but as the train speeds along the number of coach cars continues to increase. Then, by the time Jack defeats the Clench duo, the train's coach cars have multiplied significantly, to well over twenty. (00:06:20)

Sacred Cow - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Animal Control Guy walks over to Moolissa and states the cow must have had a heart attack, his shirt buttons, badge, shoulder mic, etc, are at his left. Then Animal Control Guy begins to walk back to his van, and watch as mid-shot his shirt buttons and everything else switch to the opposite side (if it's paused we also see his mic cord clips through his arm).

Better Never Than Late - S3-E16

Visible crew/equipment: While Kate and the family are seated on the Cannonball headed to Pixley, after Charley tells Floyd to look at the pressure gauge (because he forgot to load the tender), when it cuts back to Kate we can see a crew member (animal trainer likely) making hand gestures, at the right side of the screen.
