Maleficent (2014)

Maleficent mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When the fairies are cooking and Aurora says she is moving out, for a brief shot the amount of flour on the left side of Knotgrass' brown apron disappears. Shot changes to the previous angle and the flour is back. It's not because of magic or due to a plotwise decision, it's a continuity mistake between two different takes.

Suggested correction: Considering the flour on her face is fading away, who's to say it's not on her apron as well?

Continuity mistake: When the movie starts, Ally walks with his girlfriend, they stop and kiss. She places both hands on his shoulders, but in the close-up the left hand is down. This changes back and forth between angles.
