Audio problem: When Owen says, "Be quiet, I'm trying to work on this story. It's due tomorrow," you can hear him typing, but there is nothing written on the screen.

Cry_Wolf (2005)
Continuity mistake: When Dodger and Owen are talking outside the Halloween party, Dodger's cape is over her right shoulder. When Owen walks away after they finish talking, her cape is pulled back, off her shoulder.

Spivs (2004)
Other mistake: When Jack is reading the paper about the death of two other characters in a hotel, there's a newspaper insert and we can see that, with the exception of the headlines, everything is mumble-jumble, incoherent text just to fill the space.

Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)
Revealing mistake: When Brian falls from the tower and knocks the prophet, we can see Graham Chapman (Brian) is actually hanging on a bar. (00:52:15)

Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)
Audio problem: When the leader of the Suicide Squad introduces himself and his team to Brian, we can see his original lines have been over-dubbed on the post-production. (01:27:55)

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Continuity mistake: When Clarice is searching the basement, the first door she approaches is hinged on the left and opens towards her. She opens it, and it turns into a door that has the hinges on the right and opens away from her. (01:43:50)
Suggested correction: There are two doors in that part of the basement. The one she enters is hinged on the left and opens inward. But the other door - the one she exited through to look for Jame Gumb - is hinged on the right and swings outward.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Visible crew/equipment: At the end of the film, when Hannibal is telling Clarice about having "an old friend for dinner" a camera crew is reflected in his sunglasses. (01:52:30)

The Mummy (1999)
Revealing mistake: When Beni is in the tomb, the place is dark and is only lit by the candle he's carrying. However, when Beni turns around, his shadow on the ground doesn't change positions, indicating that it's not being cast by the candle, but by another source of light. (01:06:40)

The Mummy (1999)
Continuity mistake: When Rick stabs Imhotep, at the end of the movie, we can see blood on the hands of the mummy. In the next shot, however, his hands are clean and there's no blood coming off the wound. (01:51:00)

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Continuity mistake: Before her wedding to Eric, Ursula talks to herself in front of a mirror and then steps on the makeup table, cracking a perfume bottle. The problem is that the bottle wasn't on the table on the previous shot. (01:07:00)

Ghostbusters (1984)
Continuity mistake: When the heros arrive at Dana's building, they're saluted by a crowd. If you pay close attention, you'll see the same extra in two different positions (he's the young - and very "happy" - guy wearing a grey suit and a purple tie). (01:19:30)

Ghostbusters (1984)
Trivia: The first time the heroes use their proton weapons (in the hotel sequence), you can see (using slow-motion) that the rays don't actually come from the weapon, but from their target. The rays were "drawn" during post-production and, apparently, it's easier to start drawing from the target to the weapon. (00:31:46)

Ghostbusters (1984)
Revealing mistake: During the "montage" there is a reversed shot of the guys driving their "ghost-mobile" - you can notice it because the Ghostbusters logo is reversed. (00:39:35)

Vertigo (1958)
Continuity mistake: When Scottie (James Stewart) visits a bookshop to question its owner, the book display in the shop's window changes between the time he enters and exits the store. (00:33:50)
3rd Sep 2003
Vertigo (1958)
Continuity mistake: James Stewart sees Kim Novak entering a flower shop by the back door. Watch the shadows on the ground: in the very next shot, when Stewart follows Novak, the shadows are very different. (00:20:12)
