Riding in Cars with Boys picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene on the sidewalk where Bev is pretending Faye is her mom (and she's practicing to tell her mom that she's pregnant) the same people walk by several times. I don't think there was a single shot-reverse-shot sequence that had the right people walking by at the right time. You saw the same couple, for example, walk by at least four different times.

See Spot Run picture

Other mistake: When Stephanie (the kid's mom) gets sprayed with mud by the bus, it is accelerating as much as it can in reverse. Why would it accelerate so much in reverse if it's trying to avoid falling down the hill?

Gosford Park picture

Continuity mistake: In the red drawing room, Freddie Nesbitt can be seen behind his wife, Mabel, putting his coffee cup on a bureau. They cut away to a wider shot, and he is holding the cup again.

Wasabi picture

Visible crew/equipment: When Hubert punches the transvestite in the bar and she flies backwards, you can see the wires pulling her. It's hard to see but if you look at the black man in a white t-shirt and black trousers, when looking closer at the trousers you should be able to see the wire moving. (00:02:15)

Corky Romano picture

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Corky first enters the Vet Clinic, and speaks to the "patients", the shot when he first speaks to the old man with the Bassett Hound, the dog is in the chair on the man's left, but in the next shot, the dog has moved to the right, and the man has shifted to the left side of the chair.

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion picture

Plot hole: At the end of the film the boss says that he and Miss Fitzgerald are going to go on holiday together to Paris (talking about the actual city, not the secret code they have invented). However, the film is set in 1940 and Paris would have been an unusual place to take a holiday at this time, considering France was in the middle of a war... Pretty dangerous for civilians even though America was still neutral at the time.

Double Take picture

Other mistake: When Orlando is driving the car (I believe the old beat up car) the gear shift is all the way up in the park position, yet the car is moving.

Continuity mistake: When Tony and Keith are playing dominoes, Tony picks up the ones in front of him and then they are back on the table as the camera angle changes from each guy talking.

The Parole Officer picture

Revealing mistake: When Kirsty breaks them out of the police jail with the van she stole, you can see the fake wall created, as it built out of line with the real wall.

La Boîte picture

Plot hole: When their mother is dancing, why did the two boys only recognise her at the end? She was in plain sight all the time.

The Wash picture

Continuity mistake: This mistake occurs during the scene where Sean comes home after work and complains that D-loc's music is too loud. Right after Sean and D-Loc get into it, D-loc stands up and you can see that the right side of his hair isn't braided. But in the next shot, he sits down and his hair is 'magically' braided.

More The Wash mistakes
Ghost World picture

Continuity mistake: When Enid and Rebecca first visit Seymour at the garage sale, one shot shows Rebecca covering her mouth to hide her laugh, but in the next shot her expression and stance are significantly different.

Bubble Boy picture

Continuity mistake: When Chloe visits Jimmy's room for the first time, he reaches for his guitar and Chloe is seen from behind, at right, pulling her hair over and onto her right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder without any hair resting on or near it. When the shot reverses to show her from the front, her hair hangs freely down onto both shoulders again. (00:08:55)

Continuity mistake: In the childhood oven scene, there is a shot of the mother peeling steamed tomatoes, the shot of the tomato she throws at Hedwig shows fresh tomatoes, then the tomato looks steamed in the oven.
