Revealing mistake: At the stairs of Cirith Ungol, after Gollum says, "Come away, Hobbits. We climb. We must climb," there is close-up of Hobbit feet. The next shot as Frodo and Sam climb, is a flipped shot - just note the stew pot on Sam's back, it is on his left side, though he carries it on his right side. Sometimes, what gives away the reversed shots are the Lórien leaf brooches or Sam's pots and pans.

Emergency! (1972)
Visible crew/equipment: When the guys are wearing their helmets, multiple head set lights are usually reflected on the black surface, more often than not.
27th May 2008
Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: After the guys lift the car engine off the man and Kelly maneuvers the car backwards, the same close-up of the officer and two women that was shown a few shots earlier is shown again, even though the car is now moving farther back.
27th May 2008
Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: When the guys begin to use the pulley system to lift the car engine off the injured man, the women stand to the officer's left (viewer's right), but in the next close-up it is switched, then back again in the wideshot.
27th May 2008
Emergency! (1972)
Revealing mistake: Squad 51 has a flashing light-bar mounted on the roof of the vehicle. There is about 4-5" of space between the length of the light frame and the roof, which means that Squad 51's surrounding environment is easily visible through that gap in normal shots. The hiccup here are certain close-ups of Gage and DeSoto while they're 'driving', because that gap is covered (with red to match the vehicle) and sometimes, when it's daylight, the gap is dark. The same thing happens with the space behind the cab unit (seen through the window), with the red blocking the opening.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: On the front end of Squad 51's hood, the letters of the word 'DODGE' appear either in silver or in red, or sometimes it's not there altogether.

Emergency! (1972)
Continuity mistake: At the stationhouse, when the captain draws the diagram of the plastics company set-up on blackboard, the chalk drawing differs between shots.

P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Holly takes the garments from the dry cleaning delivery guy, the envelope and note reading, 'found in leather jacket' are visible under the plastic. When she removes the envelope from the bag, the note's handwriting is quite different.

P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: After Gerry gets smacked in the face by the 'broken' suspender clasp, we see the silver clasp land under the dresser. Yet, when he's moaning and lifting his leg to get onto the bed, we can actually see the clasp still intact on the front suspender that came loose, which is dangling right behind him (just look between his legs). Of course, in the next shot, that clasp is gone. Since the silver clasp is one of the plot points, this is bizarre to say the least. (00:11:10)

P.S. I Love You (2007)
Revealing mistake: When Holly is in bed with William, and then finds out that he is 'Billy from the band', just as she pulls away from him to bolt out of bed, the modesty top she wears is quickly seen.

P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: After Holly and Gerry’s argument near the start, when Gerry begins his little dance in boxers, as he removes his leather jacket one of the back suspender clasps comes undone. When he lies down beside Holly, both back clasps are on properly. (00:10:45)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: Near the start, when Gerry comes back into the apartment after the fight, his suspenders are off, but in the next shot as Holly jumps over the couch his suspenders are on, only to be off again once she's in Gerry's arms. (00:07:30)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: Near the start, as Holly removes her jewelry, Gerry holds her boot mimicking her. Its zipper faces Gerry's right, with the heel beside his face, but when he slams it down the boot is in his hand the opposite way. (00:03:40)

P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: At Patricia's bar, when she and her daughters eat dinner together, Ciara picks up the platter of meat and bowl of corn salad, next shot they've switched hands. (01:00:05)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: At the Irish Famine Memorial, when Daniel says, "I think you're a little bit perverted," regarding the corned beef sandwiches, Holly's handbag dangles from her left arm, but next shot it's on her right arm. (00:54:10)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Holly picks up the shoe with Gerry's silver suspender clasp, the picture frame is upright with the phone behind it. When she turns the shoe around to examine it, the frame is lying flat on its back, with the phone in front of it. (01:38:00)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: After returning from Ireland, when Holly hears Denise's phone message she throws the remote at her dresser and knocks over the frame face down. When she walks to the dresser the frame is now face up. Jewelry differs as well. (01:37:45)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: When the dry cleaning arrives and Holly lays it out on the table, right behind her is the large flip-over wall hanging, with a picture of balloons. When she pulls the leather jacket out of the plastic, the wall hanging is flipped open to a picture of a bird. (00:53:10)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Holly sings with Judy Garland, she has a "pimple" on her forehead. When Sharon gives Holly a manicure, the skin on Holly's forehead is flawless in the close-up - not hidden under makeup. (00:28:00)
26th May 2008
P.S. I Love You (2007)
Continuity mistake: When Holly visits Gerry's parents, there's a close-up of his letter to them. A moment later we can see the front of the letter, as his mum holds it, and the writing differs in relation to the Enniskerry Limo logo at the top. (01:23:45)
