Horse Camp: A Treasure Tail picture

Revealing mistake: The "horse" in the stall on the left has to be fake. With the exception of a barely visible half-blink, it does not move the slightest when the girl (while handling the reins) walks around its head, and a couple of girls are touching (pretending to be removing) the saddle. (00:29:25)

Poor Things picture

Devil's Peak picture

Continuity mistake: The scenery view shots near the beginning of the movie apparently are not meant to represent the passage of time (such as "one year later"), so the various changes in foliage - from green leaves (Summer) to leafless trees (Winter) to orange leaves (Autumn) to green leaves (Summer) and back to Fall foliage - do not make sense. This inconsistent foliage continues into the movie. (00:05:30 - 00:06:34)

The Devil Comes at Night picture

Continuity mistake: The trees show through the front windows of the house largely have green leaves with subtle signs of starting to transition for autumn. Panning to the back windows, the trees have a distinct, more uniform orange tint (which cannot be attributed to the sun setting behind them). Returning to the front windows, the tree foliage is more fall-like, similar to the orange foliage in the backyard. (00:00:24)

Die Hart picture

Continuity mistake: The "action star dummy 'lil Kevin Hart" is in a different position on the chair each time it is shown. The dummy is slouched in various positions or upright, and the "FBI" lapel letters are partially or fully visible. While Ron Wilcox (John Travolta) is next to the dummy, there's no indication that he is moving it. (00:15:06)

Continuity mistake: Wingate pours two whisky glasses almost half-full. He pushes one glass across the table to Stubb, and the glass has less than half as much whisky in it. Wingate's glass - now closer to him - appears to have a little more than he poured into the glass. (00:22:15)
