Continuity mistake: On the roof, Cory is expressing to AJ how he should go to art school. She then shoves him. His sweater slips down way off his shoulder. The camera cuts to another angle and his sweater is back on his shoulder. His hand position also changes.

In Bruges (2008)
Continuity mistake: While they were eating dinner, Chloe was holding a cigarette. She tells Ray that it wasn't her friend who got murdered but that she wanted to make him feel bad. She holds up her cigarette. It has very little ash. The scene cuts to Ray, then back to her, and the ash grew much longer than would be possible in just a few seconds' time. (00:34:35)

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)
Factual error: When the police are in the wedding chapel investigating the murders, you hear a radio being dialed to a new station. That DJ identifies the station as KTRN in Wichita Falls. The wedding chapel is in El Paso. That's 578 miles between the two cities. There is no way that a radio station from Wichita Falls could be picked up by a radio in El Paso. (00:16:35)

Highlander (1986)
Factual error: When McCleod jumps into the ocean, his kilt catches the wind. We then see that he is wearing an undergarment. Scottish men don't wear undergarments under their kilts. (00:48:15)

Continuity mistake: When Brenda takes a drink from her glass, there is over half the glass left as she holds it in front of her and savours it. The movie then cuts to a wider shot, and there is maybe 25 percent left in the glass. (00:28:30)

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)
Factual error: When Ding Bell is passing the truck, his car downshifts then shifts into a higher gear after passing the truck. Ding never took his hands off the wheel. This is in a VW Bug. These all had manual transmissions when this was filmed. He would have had to manually shift the gears to have the car change gears, but he kept steering with two hands on the wheel. (00:33:00 - 00:33:25)

The Sting (1973)
Revealing mistake: When Luther was found after being thrown out of the window, he was flipped over. His left eye twitched as he was flipped over. Luther was supposed to be dead, so there should be no eye twitch. (00:23:11)

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Stupidity: In the shuttle, when the fountain pen is floating in zero gravity, the flight attendant grabs the pen and puts it in the pocket of the sleeping passenger. She doesn't put the cap on. She puts it in his pocket nib down. Even though there is no gravity, the capillary action of the nib touching the shirt will pull the ink into his clothing and stain his shirt and jacket. (00:19:40)
Suggested correction: Who said it's a fountain pen? 2001 is set in an imaginary future with imaginary technology, one of which might be leak-proof pens.

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)
8th Oct 2024
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)
