Bite the Dust picture

Continuity mistake: Dutch's body is at an angle to, and at least a foot away from Rosemary's, when he tells her she should move. The camera switches to a front view, and they are already shoulder-to-shoulder (linearly) with her left arm through his right elbow. (00:17:00)

Romance in Hawaii picture

Continuity mistake: Leah pours some wine, then sets the bottle near the centre of the counter (next to the bowl). The bottle is closer to the edge, back near the centre, then towards the edge of the counter again. Leah does move her cell phone with her right hand a couple of times and holds her glass in her left, but it doesn't appear she drinks any wine and there's no sound to indicate she refills her glass or moves the wine bottle. (00:07:45 - 00:08:50)

Fear picture

Factual error: The way Michael poured wine out of the newly opened bottle (standard 750 ml/25 oz?), the estimated amount he poured into six glasses plus drank some from the bottle, and the angles at which the six friends tilted their glasses for the toast, were not realistic. Also, the wine bottle appeared to have more than one-half (possibly two-thirds) of its contents left when Michael poured it into the fireplace. A newly opened bottle of wine would not be held at a downward angle to start pouring. (00:26:18 - 00:27:34)

The Old Way picture

Continuity mistake: The wad of money Briggs took from the man Jimmy's dad stole from was evenly folded in half, cupped in Briggs' palm, but at least one bill was protruding upward when he stood up. As Briggs was walking into the building, a rear view showed the money was no longer cupped in his palm but extended from both sides of his hand and was in disarray. (00:05:10)

Supercell picture

Factual error: The storm chasers are meeting by the road and you see the sign for I-90 East in the background several times. This movie takes place in and around Texas, yet the route that I-90 takes is nowhere remotely close to that far south.

Totally Killer picture

Continuity mistake: The yellow box, blue mailbox, and blue SUV along the kerb are at different distances behind Chris, with all further away when he turns around to "move on to the next crime scene." (00:01:45 - 00:02:30)

Famous picture

Continuity mistake: When Famous collapses onto the floor, there is cocaine near his hair/forehead, but the baggie (and cocaine in it) is spread differently and further from his head when Plain Wayne turns his head. (00:08:10)

The Creator picture

Audio problem: At the start, when at Ground Zero, a robot wakes up, and Joshua shuts it down. The woman he's with says, "What the hell," but her mouth says, "What the fuck," dubbed presumably for a lower rating.

That's a Wrap picture

Factual error: Stoney sets his lit marijuana cigarette on the metal garbage can lid and walks away. The cigarette is still lit and does not burn down after 3+ minutes of screen time. A lit marijuana cigarette left unattended burns a short time and forms ashes before extinguishing itself. (00:55:35 - 00:58:50)

Assassin Club picture

Continuity mistake: Morgan and Sophie walk towards the fifth interior arch ring in the tunnel, but when the man (Alec) points a gun behind Morgan's head, Morgan is near the third arch ring. Although they move back and forth during their fight in the tunnel, the number of arch rings reaches 10, but they are back to the 3rd arch when the camera shifts. (00:24:13 - 00:24:51)

The Portable Door picture

Continuity mistake: The position of the pamphlet display on the side table changes a few times after Paul sits on the couch. The pamphlets are near the upper right-hand corner of the table before Paul sits, and then the pamphlets are behind the lamp, towards the rear-center. The pamphlets are in the upper left-hand corner, then suddenly in the upper right-hand corner (where they start) when Paul removes one from the display. The location and angle of the lamp shade also vary. (00:09:00 - 00:09:25)

Robots picture

Revealing mistake: More than once, when speaking to their robot doubles, it's obvious that both Charles and Elaine are actually just talking to nobody, given their mannerisms.

Andy Somebody picture

Continuity mistake: Andy is walking alongside a highway and is roughly between the "End Road Work" and "Speed Limit 55" signs. There is a tall, thin sign pole on the right-front side of the screen. Andy is almost at the pole when there is a cut to Bishop breaking into and searching a house. The camera returns to Andy, who is still walking at the same pace and just reaches the pole, but he should be much further ahead. (00:30:24 - 00:32:10)

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah picture

Other mistake: When Adam Sandler calls his daughter on a video chat in the car with her friend, the picture of his daughter is not the same as when she is in the car. When they jump between her and him on the call, her hair and background are completely different than they are in the car. (00:23:17)

The Nightgown picture

Continuity mistake: The table runner covers the corner of the nightstand and extends 1-2" across the front side. There are notebooks on the opposite side of the shelf below the tabletop. A side view shows the table runner a couple more inches across the front and drapes outward. Only the far corner of the green notebook is visible, but the table runner cannot obstruct that much of a view of the shelf. (00:03:35)

A Christmas Vintage picture

Continuity mistake: Tony is seated at a table with a green-covered book, clipboard, and laptop in front of him. Parker stands across the table from Tony and has some papers in front of him. Parker shoves a paper across the table towards the clipboard and laptop. The camera quickly shifts to Parker, now seated at the table. The paper Parker pushes across the table is not there and Tony's laptop is closer to the clipboard. The empty wine bottles and book are in different positions. (00:03:42)
