Castle ( 2009 )

Continuity mistake: Castle approaches his mother and daughter at the bar and orders "a hit of the bubbly." He kisses his daughter; there is one open notebook stacked on top of a closed red one. The angle changes and the open notebook shifted off the closed one. (00:04:35)

Continuity mistake: Castle's mum is rather unapologetic about her leaking the compromising antics of her son in underwear, and talks to him patting him on the chest. She says "it's expected" and pulls her hands back, but they are still open in front of his chest in the next shot. (00:04:55)

Continuity mistake: Just before Beckett walks up to Castle, he is talking to Alexis. Alexis' hair keeps moving back and forth over her left shoulder throughout the scene. (00:06:05)

Continuity mistake: Kate Beckett has just walked up to Castle and told him that the police would like to question him about a murder. The way she holds her badge is different throughout the scene. Note the position of her thumb. (00:06:20)

Continuity mistake: When Beckett shows Castle the picture of the flower-themed murder, in close-up the photo is laid out on an empty table, but it's on the pile of the other photos in the wider angle. (00:07:50)

Continuity mistake: Castle comes back from the police station at quarter to one AM with a cleaner shave than he had at the police station. (00:09:25)

Continuity mistake: Alexis is trying to get her father to tell her how the interview with the police went as Castle playfully pushes her along the corridor. Castle is holding the bottle of whipped cream in his right hand with the bottle positioned above his daughter's elbow. Cut to the immediate next shot and the bottle is now underneath Alexis' elbow. (00:10:20)

Continuity mistake: Castle repeats incredulous "A week?" when Beckett tells him how long it'll take for the print results to come out. The cop sitting by confirms nodding, and has both arms on the desk. Reverse angle, and the left arm is off the desk, and back to both as it goes back to the previous angle. (00:16:15)

Continuity mistake: "Prom queen" murder scene. Beckett' phone rings while Castle asks her about the motive. The janitor in the wide shot reached forward with his right arm, but when she answers, the guy's hand is on his hip. (00:18:50)

Other mistake: Beckett and Co are in the mental patient's apartment. She opens one of Castle's novels. The title page says that it's called "A Skull at Springtime." However, on the opposite page, it says that the book is "Storm Fall." (00:19:50)

Continuity mistake: During the poker game with the other authors, Stephen J. Cannell says "You're bluffing, Patterson." The way he holds the cards differs in the two shots. It happens again later after Patterson says that he wouldn't put a bullet in Alex Cross 's head. (00:22:40)

Continuity mistake: James Patterson delivers the fun "Well, it's Castle we're talking about..." joke, one hand on top of the other. Next shot, and they are apart on the table. (00:23:30)

Continuity mistake: After she received the box with the book, Beckett puts it down on the desk, the lid just by the keyboard. It's then gone, and back there again. (00:25:40)

Continuity mistake: When the cops tear down the board with the serial killer case, you can see already next to the lawyer the note in grey ink that says that the object used to suffocate him was wrong, which is a conclusion Bishop comes to later in the case resolution, with the notes on the other two victims in the same ink. (00:28:40)

Continuity mistake: Returning home after his arrest, Castle says "Just have to figure out why." Alexis in foreground puts a lock of hair behind her ear, but at the cut it's the same way it was before. (00:29:20)

Continuity mistake: Harrison Tisdale hands Beckett his passport; it's facing opposite directions in the two shots. (00:33:25)

Continuity mistake: Beckett teases Castle after the visit to Harrison Tisdale, spelling out why he's obviously lying. During the scene, the passers-by change position between shots, especially noticeable at the beginning. (00:33:45)

Continuity mistake: At the precinct checking Tisdale's alibi for the passport stamps, Castle asks why can't she just admit he was right. Ryan next to her is holding the receiver in a different way (look at the index finger) at the cut. (00:34:10)

Continuity mistake: Castle and Judge Markway are talking about the golf course. In the close-up on Beckett, the same couple walks again by the doors in the background like in the previous shot. (00:35:30)
