Continuity mistake: When Q is showing the microfilm to Bond and XXX, Bond points at the Stromberg fish. But he points right at the projector. That would have made his finger much larger compared to the screen than it is in the next clip - and blurred. Furthermore, the position of his finger on the screen doesn't match with the position he holds it in.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Continuity mistake: When the rescue pod is speeding towards the surface you can see it has a keel weight which, judging from the size of the pod, must be 3-4 meters long. When it floats into the cargo bay of the navy ship, there wouldn't be room for the keel. You can see that the water level in the cargo bay is no more than 1-1½ meters.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Continuity mistake: When we see Stromberg's living room from the inside, there is very little space between the windows, and the corner column is very narrow. But when we see it from the outside (when the Helicopter is taking off) there is more then 2 meters between the windows.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Continuity mistake: When Stromberg raises his 'house' from the sea, in the first shot where the paintings slide up, you can see the water's surface in the top of the window. But in the next clip, exterior shot, the house is still fully submerged. And based on the size of the house and the location of Stromberg's living room, his windows must have been 10-20 meters below the surface in the first situation.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Continuity mistake: When Bond is chased by agent Barsov, you see a clip where Bond has gone through quite deep, new snow - leaving two tracks in the fresh snow. In the next clip, when Bond turns to fire his ski pole missile, he is riding on a prepared piste with a lot of other tracks.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Continuity mistake: When Bond skis downhill in the beginning, in the close-up of his skis, you can see a hard, firm snow surface. But in the next clip, he is skiing off-piste.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Continuity mistake: When Shandor is about to fall off of the roof and is holding Bond's tie, his grip changes from very low - with about four inches left - to higher up, so he can slide down again.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Bogomil stops to help Karla their cars are several meters apart. When Bogomil gets the first shot he rolls on the bonnet of Karla's car. He walks 1-1½ steps towards her. She pushes him back (i.e. towards her own car), but even so - he bumps into his own car. It was much further away and in a different direction.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Bogomil stops to help Karla, the driver's window in his car is slightly open. When he lies shot on the ground, it is all the way down.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: The two $10 bills Axel gets from the gun club receptionist get very wrinkled when Axel squeezes them. But when he walks away, holding the bills up, they are totally straight.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: Hugh Heffner disappears. In one clip he is right next to Axel. Three to four seconds later he is nowhere to be seen, even though the camera pans around, and the spot is quite crowded.
Suggested correction: After he tells them they need to leave, he's off camera for long enough to walk away. When the camera pans around, it doesn't show the area he would have walked away towards.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Axel breaks into the Shooting Club he places a piece of gum on the door. He squeezes it flat with his finger. But in the next clips, the piece of gum is not flat - and its position has changed.

Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: The speed with which the cement truck's mixing barrel turns changes significantly between clips of the car chase - and in some clips it doesn't turn at all.
7th Sep 2006
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: Bogomil is standing and looking down into the engine of Karla's car when the assassin drives up. However when the shot is fired, Bogomil rolls on the bonnet of the car. When was the bonnet closed?
7th Sep 2006
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Chief Lutz is going through the case in the meeting with the mayor he says "There is no B and D." But there was a B - when Bogomil got shot. Didn't they find that letter?
7th Sep 2006
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Axel's knife breaks in the drawer in the Shooting Club, you can see that there is about 2 inches left of the blade. But when he holds up the knife there is only about 1 inch. Clearly not the same knife.
7th Sep 2006
Beverly Hills Cop II (1987)
Continuity mistake: When Axel is hunted in the garage by the black car backing up, you see the hole in it's back window. One shot later the hole is more than twice the size.

Prison Break (2005)
Continuity mistake: "Episode 16-17. In Episode 16 when Linc is to be executed you see the clouds pass in front of the full moon. In Episode 17 - a couple of days later - you again see the full moon."

Godzilla (1998)
Continuity mistake: The ground does not shake every time Godzilla comes - only in some of the first scenes. And only when approaching - not when he is walking away.

Shrek 2 (2004)
Continuity mistake: Puss saves the Gingerbread Man from drowning in the castle's moat by catching him with his sword, however, he is on Donkey's back and the drawbridge is a couple of meters above the water. So the sword would have to have been 2-3 meters long to get down to the Gingerbread Man.
