Continuity mistake: When Gertie and Joey make their escape running down the stairs of the hall, they pass by a couple (she has a white hat and a blue dress). When Poirot and Japp run after them, the same couple has jumped back several meters. (00:43:00)

Bird on a Wire (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Mel Gibson is shown biting Goldie Hawn's leg he is obviously in a position with his belly down. And yet, when the car steers to the right in response to this peculiar stimulus, we see the body of the person in the car with their feet pointed up. Similar mistakes happen throughout the whole sequence. (00:38:05)
10th Oct 2019
Adventures of Aladdin (2019)
Revealing mistake: "Prince Ali" descends on a magic carpet surrounded by fireworks...in a hall that is roughly 20 feet high. The scene is played 'straight' and not as parody. (00:39:10)
1st Oct 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: Viggo Mortensen is preparing to cut off the fingers of the cadaver. He flips his tie over the shoulder in the close-up, but in the following view of the room with Cassel patting his ass the tie is down his chest again. Goes back over the shoulder for more close-ups. (00:20:05)
25th Sep 2019
Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition
Other mistake: Throughout the game (cutscene with Terry, banner and posters in Billy Kane's stage) several times the name of the tournament is written "King of THE Fighters", with a misplaced "THE" that screams betrayal considering the most popular SNK franchise and storyline tournament, started by the first Fatal Fury itself, is "The King of Fighters", the complete title of the first FF being "Fatal Fury; King of Fighters."
30th Sep 2019
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: When the fake Chi Chi points the gun at Goku, her hair suddenly is all the way in front of her arm/shoulder, in a noticeable difference with the previous take. (00:59:25)
28th Sep 2019
Love Is a Ball (1963)
Continuity mistake: When John Davis is approached at the beginning of the movie, he is sitting at a bar table. Depending on the camera angle, he is resting his cheek against a closed fist or his thumb. (00:04:00)
25th Sep 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: Kiril and Nikolai hug in the wine cellar. There's a constant back and forth between two angles where Vincent Cassel's hand is positioned differently, either on Mortensen's back, or shoulder. (01:08:40)
27th Sep 2019
The African Queen (1951)
Continuity mistake: Rose offers Charlie to help with the propeller. He says "Here goes" and motions to go back underwater. Katharine Hepburn's hands are on the vertical supports sticking out. Not a moment has passed (you hear the plop of him actually submerging) and in this new reverse shot her hands are by those same supports, not on them. (01:07:15)
9th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Double Sin - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: In the car chase, when the woman turns to check the police behind them, the close-up on the steering wheel does not match the position of her hands before and after. Similarly her passenger has the right hand visible when it shouldn't be. (00:28:45)
2nd Oct 2019
Fatal Fury: King of Fighters
Character mistake: One of the cutscenes of the game happens between the 5th and 6th round, Hwa Jai and Raiden. Geese, the main villain, botches the name of his henchman saying "Riden." (Fixed in the SNES and Genesis version, still in the various versions on Playstation).
30th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Poirot does the newspaper trick for Miss Lemon, the final reveal has him present the newspaper holding it between index and thumb in the front view, index and middle with the thumb sticking out in the back view. (00:42:10)
10th Oct 2019
Adventures of Aladdin (2019)
Continuity mistake: The Genie creates a royal palace for Aladdin, who pranks him, acting unimpressed. He then cracks up and throws an arm over his shoulder. He is holding the lamp in that hand, but at the cut, he's holding it in the other hand. (00:35:20)
10th Oct 2019
Adventures of Aladdin (2019)
Continuity mistake: Aladdin hopscotches through the lava pit; he has no wand in hand when viewed from behind, but in close-ups he is firmly holding it in his left. (00:18:00)
10th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Adventure of the Western Star - S2-E9
Revealing mistake: Japp is waiting for Van Braks to make his move, and when he is hopping on a taxi for the airport, he begins to tail him. When the car moves, reflected in the door is a modern No Parking cone in bright yellow (incidentally, they also pass by a parked car with a FUU 692 plate that is a bit too recent for the series, being an Austin Big 7, first produced in 1937). (00:41:05)
10th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Double Sin - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: When Hastings storms out of the antique store claiming to have solved the case, Poirot follows him until he turns into an alley. In the view from the back of the alley, there's a man with a hat who walks all the way past Poirot and turns the corner into the main road. In the reverse angle, the guy is still walking down the alley in front of Poirot. (00:42:30)
10th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Other mistake: When Japp and the bobby arrest the pickpocketer, the dialogue says "It was only last week that we put him inside for three months" which obviously does not make sense. In the original story he did the 3 months of jail the year before, and this has to be a flub in the lines of this TV version (it is specified also that he did those in the winter, so the Sergeant can't possibly mean that he was released last week). (00:35:00)
10th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: The cream colored shoes of the Lady are prominently featured in the finale. When the actress has to run, not only are the heels replaced by modern tennis shoes, but they're black, in contrast with her white stockings. (00:46:40)
9th Oct 2019
Batman: Hush (2019)
Continuity mistake: Bruce and Selina sneak away from the party while Bruce's neglected childhood friend fetches the drink. The bottles on the shelves behind the counter change between shots when he goes "Seriously? Both of them?" It's like a portion of the leftmost shelf has been sliced off for the close-up. (00:05:00)
1st Oct 2019
Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: At papa's personal brothel, Kiril cups Nikolai's chin telling him how he wants to make sure he's "no queer." When Cassel is from the front, he's pointing his index finger under Nikolair's chin, while in the front views of Viggo Mortensen's face, Cassel gets awfully creative with the appraisal of his buddy's manliness, doing things like thumbing the cleft of his chin or using his ring finger instead. (00:34:45)
