Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the sparring between Goku and his Grandpa, the clotheslines project clear shadows on the ground. During several shots during the silly fight (several from above when they flip around, or for instance the wide shot that follows the bug-eating bit) there's a total lack of shadows. (00:02:30 - 00:03:30)

Captain Marvel (2019)
Continuity mistake: Vers KOs the Skrull she does the warcry thing at, and then another one on the corridor steps. She is then seen fighting from the perspective of the corridor to her right, but there are no Skrulls in sight against that door, while at least one was already lying down there. There are two when the camera gets back closer, and when she neutralizes the last one who bounces onto his own stun mace, there are again two, and she somehow got between the last one and the others. (00:20:30)

Eastern Promises (2007)
Continuity mistake: Anna storms out of the burger place to talk to Nikolai. For the greater part of the scene, when the camera is on Naomi Watts her hair is nice and tidy, while in the reverse shots on Viggo Mortensen, the wind messes up her bangs. (00:49:45)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Continuity mistake: Poirot rudely awakens Hastings with his three questions. You get a good view of Hastings' wristwatch on the bedstand. When at the end of the Q&A Hastings turns his attention to the watch, it is in a completely different position. (00:41:25 - 00:42:35)
7th Oct 2019
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: After sparring and faceplanting into fruit, Goku follows Grandpa to his little zen garden. There was an establishing shot of the area by the training spot, shown once Gohan jumped on the ropes, and while the rocks and some gravel were visible, the little cement bed and greenery are brand new. (00:02:35 - 00:04:10)

Stuber (2019)
Visible crew/equipment: Amo just passed out in the back of the car. Vic opens the front door to sit in the passenger seat; in the window, the boom mike is reflected. (00:39:00)
7th Oct 2019
Stuber (2019)
Continuity mistake: Vic interrogates Amo while he's about to pass out from the hole in his leg. Multiple takes have been mixed in editing, because the quantity of glass on the seats changes intermittently. (00:38:30)
7th Oct 2019
Stuber (2019)
Continuity mistake: Late at night in the store, Stu answers the call from Becca. Before the call ends, there's a close-up of the phone, held with his whole hand. In the last shot, Stu is holding it with just 2 fingers. (00:57:40)
26th Sep 2019
Social Animals (2018)
Continuity mistake: The two friends are talking at the beginning of the movie. Claire says "To be fair, I am drunk half the time" just as she pops a snack in her mouth. New shot and Claire is holding a cigarette in the same hand she just used to feed herself, laughing at that joke in a huge puff of smoke. (00:04:20)

Agatha Christie's Poirot (1989)
Revealing mistake: The stuntman smashing through the window is quite obvious - he does not even have the hair styled like Hastings'. (00:31:30)
25th Sep 2019
Security (2017)
Continuity mistake: Close to the door of the staff room as he is on the verge of leaving, Mason during the scene has sometimes the tie of his uniform draped over the backpack he's carrying, while in other views the tie is straight down his chest as normal. (00:36:30)
30th Sep 2019
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Continuity mistake: During the Mai vs Chi Chi fight at the Toisan tournament, many different takes have been edited together, since the referees appear in semi-random positions on either side of the fighters. (00:49:20)
27th Sep 2019
The African Queen (1951)
Revealing mistake: During the crossing of the rapids, in several shots you can see a white (possibly green if you are looking at a video version that came out before the 2009 restoration) halo around the actors, in particular the hat and hair. (00:38:15 - 00:39:05)

Battle Beyond the Stars (1980)
Continuity mistake: When Shad and Nanelia first meet, her welding mask is raised at a different angle depending on the shot. (00:17:05)
23rd Sep 2019
Gunman's Walk (1958)
Continuity mistake: David Hackett is talking business organizing ranch business while his brother Ed is leaning on the counter, gawking at the beautiful Clee and passing her cloth. He has his right arm up in the close-ups, but the left arm up in the wider shots. (00:04:55)
23rd Sep 2019
Kim Possible (2019)
Other mistake: In the fight at the beginning of the movie, Kim bends over and launches her jet-pack towards the villains. Almost everyone falls down way before the jet comes anywhere near and/or receive no impact, but they are KO as if they took a rocket to the gut. (00:01:40)
23rd Sep 2019
Land of Mine (2015)
Continuity mistake: Right at the beginning of the movie, the Sergeant pulls his jeep over and headbutts a prisoner who is carrying a Danish flag, seizing it. In the following shot he has his arms open and shoves away another prisoner, no flag in his hands. Next shot, he's standing by the bleeding prisoner, folded flag in hand. (00:02:25)
24th Sep 2019
The Apartment (1960)
Continuity mistake: During the second round of drinks, the amount of ice left in the frozen daiquiri changes depending on the camera angle. It's poofy and opaque in the side view, and deflated and almost fully transparent in the tighter close-up on Shirley MacLaine, with an intermediate angle and state. (00:38:10)
23rd Sep 2019
The Legend of Zelda
Other mistake: The title crawl of the original NES game contains several mistakes, notably the antagonist spelled "gannon" with 2 Ns combined with awkward phrasing ("one of the triforce with power" instead of "the triforce of power"). This mistake has been corrected with a better, more fluid translation in later remakes, starting with the Collector's Edition for GameCube.
23rd Sep 2019
Social Animals (2018)
Continuity mistake: At the wedding of her friend, Zoe drinks from her glass, looking 3/4 empty. Cut, and the glass is more than half full. (00:07:10)
