First Knight (1995)

First Knight mistake picture

Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Sir Mador is hit with the small crossbow bolt, the impalement changes. In the first shot it's protruding from his abdomen well above his belt, but in the next shot the crossbow bolt is now lower, actually pierced through Sir Mador's leather belt. (02:00:30)

Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15

Other mistake: Hall Monitor: At the start of the school assembly, when Principal Wartz thanks Helga for her month as hall monitor, Wartz's right arm is atop the lectern, with his fingers over the lectern's front edge. As Wartz gestures toward Helga with his right arm and hand, the fingers of his right hand oddly remain over the lectern's front edge. Then, after Helga announces she may volunteer again, the audience groans, and in the next shot facing Wartz, he has four hands at the lectern's edge. (00:01:35 - 00:02:00)

Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Hall Monitor: After Phoebe's eyeglasses are stepped on, when she tells Helga, "Out with the old Phoebe, in with the new," Phoebe's belt buckle and two brown pouches have vanished, then reappear in the next shot. Later, while Phoebe sits on the desk during detention, her belt buckle is missing in her close-ups, and it reappears mid-shot as she crosses her legs. Then, when Phoebe's classmates share how they miss the "old" Phoebe, her buckle and the two brown pouches vanish, but they all reappear in a moment. (00:05:05)

Hall Monitor / Harold's Bar Mitzvah - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Hall Monitor: When Principal Wartz tells Helga she cannot volunteer again, he removes the "revered badge" and its black crossbody strap from Helga. Helga then selects Phoebe as the next hall monitor. When Phoebe joins them on the stage, Helga is again wearing the crossbody strap with the badge in the wide shot, but it's gone in the next shot as Wartz places it on Phoebe. (00:02:10)

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Dog Day Afternoon mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: While Moretti is in the barber shop on the phone with Sonny, the camera tracks closer to Moretti, Sheldon, and Carmine, and as Moretti says, "Come on, let's be reasonable...just give me your name," we can see their three T-marks (dark chalk) on the floor at their feet.

Dog Day Afternoon mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Sonny wants to use a heavy desk to block the bank's back door, Mulvaney removes his suit jacket, and as they both push the desk toward the door, the outline of the actor's Lavalier mic transmitter is visible at the lower right side of Mulvaney's back. (00:24:15)

Dog Day Afternoon mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Leon is brought to the scene from the hospital and escorted toward the barber shop across the street from the bank, Sonny shouts, "Hey, Leon! Over here!" In the next shot facing the crowd around Leon, the production crew's camera crane becomes visible in the window reflection at the right side of the screen, as it films this shot. (01:05:00)

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Continuity mistake: When Mulvaney is about to open the vault with his spot key, which would trip an alarm, Sonny takes the keys away from him. In the close-up facing Sonny, he's holding the keys up in his raised left hand, but in the next wide shot from behind Sonny, he's holding the gun up with his left hand as he declares, "No games, all right?" Then, in the next close-up, the keys are back in Sonny's raised left hand. (00:09:50)

Dog Day Afternoon (1975)

Dog Day Afternoon mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Stevie gives Sonny the handgun, as Sonny tucks the handgun into his waistband, the actor's mic wire becomes visible. After Moretti's first phone call, Sonny is angry that "Jack downtown" gave him wrong information, and when he stands up there's an odd bulge at the back of his pants, presumably his mic transmitter. Then Sonny asks Mulvaney about the back door's location, and when Sonny leans down to tell Sal, "Cover them, cover them," we can see the mic and its wire between Al Pacino's tie and shirt. In exterior shots, we can see the outline of the white tape under Pacino's shirt (holds his lav mic in place due to the actor's frenetic movements). (00:07:55 - 00:20:40)

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When King Kong carries Ann Darrow to the top of the Empire State Building, he places her on the ledge near the fixed ladder mounted to the building. During the scene, in Ann's close-ups, the ladder vanishes from where it should be, and in the zoom-in shots (biplane POV), the ladder is mounted in a different area than in the long shots. (01:35:00)

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Other mistake: While Ann Darrow is lying on the Empire State Building ledge beside the ladder, the backdrop shows the Chrysler Building, Queensboro Bridge, and Roosevelt Island, behind to the right. However, after Kong falls from the skyscraper, when Jack appears and says, "Ann, hang on, dear," this one shot is angled toward the left of the ESB, but the set's backdrop is positioned so it's the same background with the Chrysler Building, Queensboro Bridge, and Roosevelt Island, behind to the left.

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Revealing mistake: While King Kong is atop the Empire State Building, the biplanes are strafing their large target. There are several static close-up shots facing a biplane's nose, and in these "aerial" shots, there's a girder beneath the set prop's fuselage. (01:36:10)

King Kong (1933)

King Kong mistake picture

Revealing mistake: After King Kong destroys the train track of the oncoming train, in the POV shot directly behind the train operator while he watches Kong rise from the broken track, the small model's support control bar is visible at the right as it moves up and down. The next shot is a close-up of the shocked motorman, and after he attempts to stop the train, there's another shot facing Kong with the control bar visible for a moment. (01:31:50)
