Bird on a Wire (1990)

Bird on a Wire mistake picture

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 mistake picture

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)

Stuber mistake picture

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)

A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song mistake picture

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)

Bird on a Wire (1990)

Bird on a Wire mistake picture

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 mistake picture

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)

Baby's Day Out mistake picture

Can You Keep a Secret? mistake picture

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)

Agatha Christie's Poirot mistake picture

The Veiled Lady - S2-E2

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)

Bird on a Wire (1990)

Bird on a Wire mistake picture

Continuity mistake: At the gas station, Marianne tells 'Billy Ray'; "You laugh like him." At the very beginning of the sentence you can spot walking left to right a guy in leather jacket, curly hair, with a blue umbrella. Thirty seconds of dialogue pass, the card checkout at the pump is complete, and in the wider shot the same guy is passing again just where we left him. (00:10:50)

Dragonball Evolution mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Goku calls Fuller's name for "whacking my bike", extras are recycled, appearing both behind Goku and the bullies (super-easy to spot a girl in pink and teal, with her buddy wearing a blue varsity jacket). (00:06:50)
