Continuity mistake: After the race in the mud, Marty responds to Marshall when asked if he really thought he had a dumb idea. Marty responds, "Yeah." Marshall then says, "That's cool." The mud on his face is very wet. The camera cuts to Marshall, then back to Marty patting Marshall on the head. The mud is drier now and slightly different than previously. (00:17:40)

Continuity mistake: When Katherine gets knocked off the table and over the rail, she is hanging on to two of the banisters. Her hands start sliding down.

Django (1966)
Continuity mistake: When they fully cut off the right ear of one of the general's men and stuck it in his mouth, as he walked away, they shot him in the back. As he is falling to the ground, you can see his ear is still attached to his head. (00:42:45 - 00:43:15)

Django (1966)
Revealing mistake: When Django exits the saloon after having been in there to drink and have sex with Maria, his boots are already covered with wet mud. His boots should have dry, caked-on mud. This means they did multiple takes of this scene, but they didn't bother to clean off the boots between takes. (00:29:15 - 00:29:40)

Piranha (1978)
Factual error: When they drain the pool at the abandoned army station, Paul tastes the water and claims the water is salty. Piranha are freshwater fish and would not survive in salt water. (00:19:30)

Blown Away (1994)

Sleepaway Camp (1983)
Continuity mistake: When the girls are trying to throw Angela into the lake, she steps to the edge of the dock with Angela on her shoulder. Her toes are over the edge. There is then a cut to the counselor berating Ricky with a long view of the girls trying to throw Angela in the water. They are now back in the middle of the dock instead of at the edge of the dock. (00:59:55 - 01:00:30)

Prophecy (1979)
Other mistake: When showing the animals outside of the cabin, the shot of the deer is obviously stock footage. The video quality doesn't match the rest of the movie. (00:28:40)

The Sandlot (1993)
Continuity mistake: When Benny knocks the cover off the baseball, the boys gather around the cover on the ground and marvel at the accomplishment. The position of the cover changes from shot to shot. When they first show the cover, it is lying flat with the ends sticking up. They then show the boys. They then show the cover, and one half is now resting on its side and more detached from the other half. No one ever reaches down to touch the cover. (00:46:45 - 00:47:45)

V: The Final Battle (1984)
Continuity mistake: When they were validating the counterfeit pass for the event, the machine took the card all the way in. The scene cut away, then cut back. At that point, the card was only halfway in and got pulled back into the validation machine. (01:12:30)

V: The Final Battle (1984)
Continuity mistake: When they capture Willie and have him in chains, the chains around his neck change from shot to shot. Sometimes his entire collar is under the chain, sometimes one side, sometimes the chain is on his bare neck, then finally back to the entire collar under the chain. (00:57:45 - 00:58:30)

Stripes (1981)
Continuity mistake: Oxberger's hair went from a super close buzz cut to much longer when they were introducing themselves, which would have been the same night, to close buzz cut, to longer. It's inconsistent throughout training. It's obvious the scenes were not filmed in order.

Clash of the Titans (1981)
Revealing mistake: During the opening music score and credits, a seagull is flying and being followed by the camera. When the seagull gets to the rocky valley, it is obviously a black, drawn-in seagull and not the real thing. At one point, you can see the rock wall through the body of the seagull. (00:03:15)

Class of 1984 (1982)
Continuity mistake: When the gang catches Artie and his female friend in the alley, the female gang member breaks a bottle on the car. The whole bottle shatters. She then somehow has half a broken bottle in her hand to use as a weapon. (00:37:00)

The Wiz (1978)
Continuity mistake: When Aunt Em is singing her song, she moves to the head of the table. As she is moving there, the man near the end of the table sitting by Dorothy is pouring some wine. The shot changes to a different angle, and he is no longer pouring the wine. The bottle is back on the table and untouched. There wasn't enough time for him to put the cap back on the bottle and set it down. (00:05:45)

Little House on the Prairie (1974)
Continuity mistake: When Mary falls down the hill, her glasses land in the grass flat against the ground. In later scenes, the glasses are standing up with the arms of the glasses stuck in the grass so that the sun can shine through them to light the grass on fire. (00:49:00 - 00:55:00)

Unfrosted (2024)

Unfrosted (2024)
Continuity mistake: When the milkman is drinking milk in the bar and talking to the Tony the Tiger actor, the amount of milk in his glass changes with the different camera angles. It goes from 2/3 full to mostly full to half full back to mostly full. (00:54:56 - 00:55:45)

The Great Escape (1963)
Continuity mistake: When Hilts surveys the fence from the start and the two guard towers, he walks over to the barracks and leans against the wall with his arms folded. He is completely in the shadow of the building. The camera then cuts to a closer shot and he is completely in sunlight and out of the shadow so you can see his expressions. (00:12:01)
