Continuity mistake: Nikolai gets hurt for the first time (slice across the chest, shown in a close-up) by one of the hitmen. He punches the aggressor in the face, who bounces against the wall. His hand is in plain view and there's no weapon. Next shot, he's brandishing the knife, and drops it only a moment later. (01:17:55)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: Carving the distant relative of his parrot for dinner, Poirot slices one side in the close-up, which turns out to be the exact opposite side in the wider shot. (00:38:35)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: The race is presented through actual footage of the era, with a cameraman from Pathe shown, saying that Lowen's car is number 3. But the car shown in the stock footage is different from the one Lowen is driving, which does not even have the number in the same position. (00:33:10 - 00:33:45)

Bird on a Wire (1990)
Continuity mistake: When Marvin falls back after the legs prank, he knocks down several bottles of motor oil, but two piles of boxes stay up. In the close-up that follows Mel Gibson's yuckety laughter, there's just one pile behind Marvin, and he suddenly has also a red rag on his shoulder (the same rag Gibson picks up later since it falls off the pants of the fake legs when 'Billy Ray' picks them back up). (00:07:40)

Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: The Chechen brothers approach Nikolai in the sauna. Viggo Mortensen has a towel draped across his back, with an irregular profile, covering the right shoulder more than the left. After a brief cut on the hitman preparing his knife, there's a close-up of Viggo, with the towel neatly arranged and properly balanced. (01:17:45)

Stuber (2019)
Continuity mistake: Throughout the scene when Angie tells Vic about the Feds taking over the case, Vic's paperwork (the mugshot, the photo) change spot a few times. When Angie stands from the desk, Tedjo's mugshot is on Vic's cake's platter, even, but it's nice and clean back on the folder right after. (00:10:00)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Poirot at dinner asks the first question (the bathroom one), he does not have his large napkin in his vest. When he asks the second one (the bedroom one), the napkin he had for all the rest of the scene is back. (00:40:15)

A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song (2011)
Continuity mistake: Throughout dinner, Bev's steak and lettuce keep changing place randomly. Moreso, when she takes a break she puts the napkin on top of the food, but when she is back, the napkin is at the side of the plate. Between shots the cloth also ends up crumpled differently. (00:50:00 - 00:54:00)
30th Sep 2019
Bird on a Wire (1990)
Revealing mistake: When the "I'm in pursuit" guy splashes his bike into the cement, not only in the side view is there no fresh trace of Rick's bike (and the construction worker is even using his squeegee as if nothing happened), but in the POV shot you can even see that the bike is coming out of the alley into a solid well paved sidewalk. You can actually even see a camera crew (but this last part of the mistake is discernible just if you slow motion). (00:55:05)

No Way Out (1950)
Continuity mistake: Dr. Luther Brooks is in the changing room with Dr. Dan Wharton. During their conversation, one of the lockers behind Brooks' is open, its door quite close to him. In the close-ups though, all the lockers are closed. The shadows are also different. (00:04:00 - 00:04:40)
7th Oct 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
The Kidnapped Prime Minister - S2-E8
Factual error: When the former Mrs. Daniels hops on her car followed by Hastings, between them you can see a speed bump, not a feature on roads in Britain (or anywhere) at the time. (00:36:55)
7th Oct 2019
Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: During the fight between Fury and Director Keller in the archive, an object (a suitcase or a folder?) suddenly appears mid-fight, either in upright or horizontal position. (00:52:00)
9th Oct 2019
Stuber (2019)
Continuity mistake: After spearing Tedjo through the wall, Bautista throws a piece of equipment at him sending him flying back on his butt. Tedjo slides right past some artwork on the floor, but he is shown stunned at its side and partially on top of it in the following shot. (00:03:15)
7th Oct 2019
Baby's Day Out (1994)
Continuity mistake: When the two kidnappers realise the baby is drooling on them from the skylight, Mantegna in the shot from above is holding the pen in his right hand. It was in his left a moment earlier. (00:25:10)
29th Sep 2019
Can You Keep a Secret? (2019)
Continuity mistake: When Emma is with the clients at the beginning of the movie, Doug's ginger pen once he mentions 'rebranding' is either in his hand or on the notepad, depending on the angle of the shot. (00:04:10)
29th Sep 2019
Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Factual error: Poirot is cycling through Wimbledon; he passes by a house which has a definitely non-1930 car in the yard, and a yellow alarm box on the first floor. (00:18:20)

Continuity mistake: Velma adds books to the pile in front of her when she takes the telephone order. Looking down the pile, you don't see any trace of the random loose papers that appear when she hauls the whole lot to the desk with the TV on. (00:06:25)

Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: Mason is in shock after killing the first bad guy with the automatic weapon. Eddie tells him "Okay buddy, I'm on my way", leaning with the left arm against the counter - but in the next shot, turns out his hand is on his knee instead. (00:51:25)
