Continuity mistake: When Axel visits Victor at the club he throws Victor's henchman across the buffet table. When the henchman gets up he has a strawberry smashed into his hair at the top middle-right portion of his forehead. Later on the strawberry is gone but there are green leaves that now are on the middle-left side of his forehead. This is evident as the camera regains focus although the colors can be seen when the the view of him is blurry. (01:04:30)

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Axel is checking out of the hotel the position of his shirt collar and his sling varies from shot to shot. There is no visible movement of his arm that would make this change. It just changes. (01:38:35)

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Continuity mistake: During the machine gun fire at Victor's house Rosewood holds up his badge and says "Police, you are all under arrest". The bad guys then shoot at Rosewood and Taggart. They shoot up a sculpture/planter above Taggart. A piece falls onto Taggart with part of it leaning against the planter and the top part leaning against Taggart's shoulder. The next shot the piece is shown standing on the ground leaning up against Taggart's head. It did not have time to relocate to the position it ended up in. (01:29:50)

Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
Continuity mistake: When Axel and Mikey are in the pool hall, the guy playing pool calls out a 2 rail bank. Mikey says "fifty bucks you don't make that shot". The guy says "bullshit". They they get a close up camera shot of the shot. The cue ball and the angle of the shot change between the bet and the actual bank shot taken. At first the cue ball was down near the corner. When the shot is taken the cue ball is struck from around the side pocket. (00:13:55)

The Aviator (2004)
Continuity mistake: After Ava Gardner shaves Howard, she instructs him to wash off his face. He looks at the sink and all of the water drains out. Then there is a shot over the sink as he is about to rinse off his face with a lot of water in the sink. It should still be empty. (02:14:55)

Ray (2004)
Continuity mistake: When Ray's mother is about to put Ray on the bus to the St. Augustine blind school she hangs a sign on his chest with his name. As they discuss the need for an education the shots cut from behind Ray to in front of him to behind him. Look at his shirt on his back right shoulder. The collar is tucked under his suspender when viewed from behind the first time then is is not the next time they show him from behind. Ray did not move to make this happen, it just happened from one take to the next. (01:50:15)

Continuity mistake: After Gus Grissom and his wife discover their refrigerator has been filled and they begin fighting, reporters show up outside their balcony. In Gus's preparation to meet with the press, he buttons up his blazer, then turns around to face the cameras. The next camera shot shows from outside the apartment and Gus buttons his blazer once again. He had already buttoned it up once and did not have time to unbutton it.

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
Other mistake: When Austin, MiniMe and Foxxy are in Nigel's Mini, MiniMe is communicating to them with written notes. When he writes the first note to Austin, Austin reads it with the written words facing the camera. He is reading the back of the page where no words exist. Also, the words are upside down when facing the camera. In slo-mo, we can see the hand-off of the paper from Mini Me to Austin and how the front, top written on side of the paper ends up facing the camera and upside down. There is no way that Austin can read what is on the page. The paper is not thin enough to be read through as one other person has claimed. Foxy receives a note from Mini Me and we cannot read through the paper that is handed her. (01:08:30)

Mystery Men (1999)
Continuity mistake: During the interviews for superheroes, the 2 Wonder Woman look-a-likes begin to fight. The camera then focuses on Mr. Furious and his friends. Notice the placement of food on the table in front of them. The camera cuts back to the fighting women then back to the table. The food has moved. The potato salad moved towards Mr. Furious and the hamburger disappeared. (00:43:35)

Mystery Men (1999)
Continuity mistake: When the Blue Raja pushes his mom out of his room, there is a tremendous amount of smoke that appears outside the room. When his mother was peeking in his room, the room was not nearly smokey enough to produce this much smoke by closing the door. (00:22:10)

Continuity mistake: When the gang is confronting Cassanova Frankenstein in his Corvette limo, the begin to beat up the car. The same shot of the Shoveler pounding in the side of the car is used twice. The first time dents the side panel. The second time he hits the car there is no dent prior to him hitting the car and the same dent appears after he hits the car. (00:51:35)

Continuity mistake: After the Blue Raja kills Captain Amazing, they retreat to the amusement park and the lab of Dr. Heller where the Shoveler is making egg salad. He opens a large jar of mayonnaise, scoops some out, and leaves the jar on the counter. A later shot shows the counter without the mayonnaise jar. Then the jar reappears. (01:22:30)

Continuity mistake: When the Blue Raja and his mother are having their touching moment in the attic she says that she always knew he was special, "I just didn't know how special". When she says this his is twirling 1 fork in his hand. The camera cuts as she finishes saying this and he suddenly has 3 forks in his hands. There was no time for him to get the other forks and he was not reaching anywhere near the silverware case. (01:26:50)

There's Something About Mary (1998)
Deliberate mistake: When Ben Stiller gets done "cleaning the pipes", he looks around the bathroom for "the missing hair gel", he should have known where it was simply by his senses. Earlobes have feeling in them. He should have felt something wet on his earlobe. He also would have felt it dangling from his earlobe.

There's Something About Mary (1998)
Factual error: When Ben Stiller gets done "cleaning the pipes", he looks around the bathroom for "the missing hair gel", it is shown hanging from his ear when he answers the door. This is somewhat unrealistic. This glob of "hair gel" would never have hung onto his ear for as long as it did. It would have dripped onto his shoulder long before he reached the door.

Continuity mistake: After Dani was "skinny dipping" in the lake she is seen on the bank watching Court swim. She is supposed to be nude, but the actress is wearing a white cloth over her breasts. Its top is visible when she kisses Court.

Revealing mistake: When Parker shoots the blowtorch at Ash, Ash's face begins to melt off. When the skin melts off we see, in slo mo, that the dummy they used has a sealed mouth. (01:27:25)
