Continuity mistake: Scheck calls Nick and informs him the kids have a copy of the document on videotape, and they're headed uptown. During the following scenes, both Nick and Big Bob have medical adhesive tape on their cheeks (due to their earlier fight). In some shots Nick's cheek has two crisscrossed tape strips, but in other shots only a single strip of tape; the changes go back and forth. (01:03:20)

Doug (1991)
Doug's Christmas Story - S4-E13
Continuity mistake: After Porkchop saves Beebe from drowning, it then cuts to the crowd as Patti explains the dog was originally trying to keep Beebe away from the thin ice. In this overhead shot, Beebe is wearing both of her pink boots, but in the next shot Beebe's left leg is bandaged again as it should be. (00:20:35)

Doug Gets His Ears Lowered / Doug On The Wild Side - S1-E8

The Simpsons (1989)
Other mistake: While Homer is in Lisa's bedroom trying to make things right with her, there are three pictures taped to Lisa's mirror. After Homer tells her the music may help, in the next shot Homer walks over to stand behind Lisa. Those pictures taped to Lisa's mirror are weirdly behind Homer's reflection, as if the pictures are taped to the wall behind Homer. Three shots later, when Homer tells Lisa he can fix the dollhouse, his reflection is accurate in relation to those three pictures taped to the mirror. (00:19:20)

Star Trek (1966)
Other mistake: While on Starbase 11, Kirk and McCoy watch Pike on a starbase desktop monitor as his light keeps blinking no. When Kirk is with Mendez in his office discussing the Talos IV top secret file, Piper watches Pike on the desktop monitor in the office. Then Spock uses the monitor in his quarters to watch Kirk. All these monitors have the same dings and markings around their screens, which are also the same as other desktop monitors on Enterprise in the previous episode, The Corbomite Maneuver. (00:11:10)

Parents Day - S5-E6
Continuity mistake: During the flashback, when little Arnold says goodbye to his parents, in the next shot of Stella and Miles, the bag's strap is slung over his dad's left shoulder as a crossbody, but mid-shot, the strap switches to his right shoulder with the bag on the opposite side. (00:14:30)

Apollo 13 (1995)
Visible crew/equipment: Just after the moment has passed when they acknowledge the venting of the oxygen, there are a few shots of Houston Mission Control; on the left, you see a boom pole with microphone in shot as the camera passes Dr. Chuck, the Flight Surgeon. (00:54:20)

Star Trek: Voyager (1995)
Visible crew/equipment: After Paris hails Tuvok about the problem in the mess hall, a brawl breaks out. When the new Hirogen Alpha enters the galley to access the com relay, just as this Alpha removes the front panel in order to transmit a signal, the actor's green tape mark is visible on the floor. (00:39:00)
Continuity mistake: At the start, just as the carful of teenagers joins the convoy of military vehicles on the road, there are very long shadows being cast on the road, which vanish in the following shots. Their long shadows return when the convoy turns onto another road, but disappear again as they arrive at the main gate. (00:00:45)
Continuity mistake: At the start, when the carful of teens pulls up alongside the convoy's lead vehicle, in the first shot of that lead driver (his reflection is in the round wing mirror), the side of the hood reads "U.S. Army" and "276***," the partial serial number beneath. Then, in the next shot and subsequent shots, the lead vehicle's serial number reads "1B7731" to the side of the hood. Just to add, when Spalko arrives at Hangar 51, her vehicle has that "276" serial number with license plate W-539. (00:01:05)
Visible crew/equipment: During the jungle chase, Marion jumps out of the truck, leaving Dovchenko driverless. A few shots later, Spalko fires on the two amphibious vehicles, and when Mac removes his cap to check his head, the actor's modern wired device (earbud or mic perhaps) drops out from under his scarf/shirt and hangs over his shirt. Later, in the chamber with the crystal skeletons, Mac admits to lying about the CIA, then as Spalko climbs the chamber stairs, it looks like her lav mic is a bit visible between two upper buttons. (01:17:10 - 01:44:15)

Hey Arnold! The Movie (2002)
Other mistake: In the FTI records room, when Arnold and Gerald open safe deposit box 999, the box is quite empty with a mirrored surface, and we can see the reflection of Scheck appearing behind them. The problem is Scheck's reflection is not backwards. (00:50:50)
Continuity mistake: At Hangar 51, after the Soviets open the crate with the mummified alien, Indiana grabs his whip and secures guns for Mac and himself. In the close-up and wide shot, Indiana is gripping the whip within his palm, but in the next shot, the whip is held with only his index finger; then it's back to being gripped in his palm. Also, while Indiana is aiming the gun at Spalko, the military jeep behind him changes its distance, depending on the shot. (00:13:15)
Continuity mistake: When Indiana is with Mutt while the boy rides the motorcycle, Indiana's shoes change; note the soles change from heels to flat rubber-type soles, then back to heeled soles.

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993)
Visible crew/equipment: When Kid Cole removes the noose from Jon's neck and helps him off the horse, in the next overhead shot there are multiple T-marks visible on the ground before the shot fades out. (00:37:50)
Continuity mistake: During the siafu ant attack, while fisticuffs ensue between Indiana and Dovchenko, note the direction of Dovchenko's belt, with its buckle prongs to his left. Then, when Dovchenko falls backwards and the ants swarm all over him, his belt is worn around his waist the opposite way, with its prongs to his right (neither are flipped shots). (01:26:55)

The Fanatic (2019)
Continuity mistake: Leah asks Moose if he brought the cutters, so he looks in his bag then hands Leah scissors. In the shots facing Leah she holds up the scissors by its handles, but in the shots facing Moose she holds up the scissors by its pointy end. (00:10:20)
27th Dec 2021
The Flintstones (1960)
Revealing mistake: While Grandma Dynamite is on the roof sending smoke signals, Sonny is standing in the tree. When Sonny starts laughing we can see the bottom of his jagged clothing is now a mere straight line and his legs have vanished. (00:16:45)

Hey Arnold! The Movie (2002)
Continuity mistake: After Scheck catches the duo in the FTI records room with safe deposit boxes, Scheck removes a painting from the wall while he rages on about the tomato incident; then he destroys the painting. However, when Arnold fights off the guard with the mustache, that painting is intact and back up on the wall in this shot. (00:51:30 - 00:51:55)
