Continuity mistake: When we first see the 3 sailors walking down the NYC street, they are in a close-up shot that cuts off about where their knees would be. But the next shot of them as Miranda turns around; the sailors are much further away, showing all of them. Then for the final shot; the sailors are closer as they would be normally, but still not as close as the first shot. Their feet are still not showing. (00:04:20)

Anchors away - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: When Carrie is talking to the cute guy while hiding out from the rain, she tells him, "I was engaged last year". But the previous episode, when Mr. Big moved to Napa, it was just becoming Fall in NYC. So it doesn't seem likely that only one episode later, it would be months later into the next calendar year.

Continuity mistake: Miranda's hair cut and color changes in this episode. When they see the sailors on the street, her hair is very red and straight, but when she goes home to Steve and the baby nurse, her hair is a softer red and styled more inward towards her face.

Continuity mistake: When Sam tells the cop that Richard was eating a woman's p*ssy, Sam's right hand protrudes while holding the tape. From the opposite angle the hand is nowhere to be seen. Also, her left hand is on Richard's face in the first shot, but covering the whole picture a shot later.

Continuity mistake: Before the girls see the sailors, all of the passers-by behind the girls have no continuity between any of the shots. People appear, disappear and reappear randomly in every single shot.
