Revealing mistake: The position of the lamp (upright or tilted) to the left of the screen varies, and the way the light is cast on the wall above and below the lampshade is not realistic. For example, when the upper part of the lampshade is angled away from the headboard, the light projects below the lampshade shorter toward the left of the screen, not elongated. (00:01:00 - 00:03:00)

CrissCross (1992)
Continuity mistake: Chris's dog Rebel has its rear end next to Chris's face in the inner tube floating in the ocean, but Rebel's face is over Chris's chest when the camera shifts; the dog's position changes 180°. (00:41:22)

CrissCross (1992)
Continuity mistake: The driver's side tires are close to (if not touching) the yellow center line on the bridge when Tracy stops her overheated car. Tracy's right hand goes from the 2 o'clock to the 12 o'clock position on the steering wheel as she is stopping, which should put her car across the center line, but it is at least a foot away in the correct lane. (00:36:37)
12th Aug 2023
CrissCross (1992)
Continuity mistake: Chris's hair becomes disheveled from sweating and his face reddens from pedaling his bike in the Florida heat, but his hair looks combed and dry, and the redness on his cheeks is gone when he stops to let the USN men jog across the road. (00:03:10)
12th Aug 2023
Ragamuffin (2014)
Continuity mistake: Rich's guitar case (on the front passenger seat) is angled behind his right shoulder while he sits in the driver's seat, saying goodbyes. However, the case is upright when others approach the front passenger window. (00:40:19)
11th Aug 2023
Ragamuffin (2014)
Revealing mistake: When the camera pans across John's family sitting on a pew, there is a few to several inches between each body. The almost-still frame closeup view from John's end shows the bodies cramming/overlapping and the first four are blurring. (00:11:03)
11th Aug 2023
Ragamuffin (2014)
Continuity mistake: Rich is dangling a light bulb above his dad's head. When the camera shifts to a close-up of Rich, the light bulb is higher - almost across from his own face - but back to dangling above his dad's head with the next camera shift. This is independent of Rich's dad telling him to "hold the light steady." (00:06:23)

Worth: The Testimony of Johnny St. James (2012)
Revealing mistake: In the opening scene, Johnny and Hickey sit in the front seat of a car. Views out the side windows blur, there is a gray background behind Johnny instead of the rear window, and when Hickey holds the cross toward the windshield, the "outside" is all grayish-white. At one point, there is light on Johnny's right forehead, cutting diagonally downward (too linear to be the sun), and another time, there is light behind Hickey on his headrest. (00:00:31 - 00:03:30)

Bandit and the Saints of Dogwood (2017)
Continuity mistake: The store cashier has an orange and green sucker/lollipop. When he pulls it out of his mouth, it is green and much thinner - but the lollipop cannot dissolve that fast. (00:03:10 - 00:03:37)
9th Aug 2023
Bandit and the Saints of Dogwood (2017)
Continuity mistake: After the car almost hits Lenna and Dalton, they walk beyond the right corner of the car's bumper, but are still in front of the bumper when the camera shifts. (00:01:55)
9th Aug 2023
Matt's Chance (2013)
Continuity mistake: When Matt drops the pills onto the bathroom floor, the way they initially disperse is not how they are distributed when he kneels to scoop them up. After Matt uses his hands to sweep the pills toward himself, the number of pills on the floor to his right increases. (00:39:36)
9th Aug 2023
Matt's Chance (2013)
Continuity mistake: The rear window of Matt's truck cab is covered in dirt/smears and looks blurred, but an exterior view before Gabor gets into the passenger seat shows it clean and transparent. Later views from the hood of the truck also show the rear window clean. The scenery behind the truck's blurred window also varies. (00:34:00 - 00:35:23)
9th Aug 2023
Matt's Chance (2013)
Continuity mistake: Matt’s boots overlap on top of Tyler’s desk, but the exterior view from Jessica’s stance shows the boots separated, forming a "V." When the camera returns to a front view of Matt, his boots are back to overlapping. (00:24:20)
9th Aug 2023
Matt's Chance (2013)
Continuity mistake: The layout of the two slices of pizza on the tray and the position of Tyler's fork on his plate differ after Matt reaches the table. The slices of pizza are touching, then spread apart like a "V." Tyler's fork moves from being diagonally across his plate with tines facing him to being situated near the edge of the plate with tines facing Jessica. (00:13:19)
8th Aug 2023
The Munsters (2022)
Continuity mistake: The bite patterns on Floop's sandwich obviously are not coordinated to show accurate progression. But precise variations would require pausing. At one point, Floop takes a bite. But when the camera suddenly shifts, he looks like he does not just take a bite. (00:19:56 - 00:20:18)
8th Aug 2023
The Munsters (2022)
Continuity mistake: When the waiter puts Lily's "Cleopatra Special" plate in front of her, the long, white, curved ingredients (bean sprouts?) stick upward across her plate, but none are visible or sticking out in alternating views of her plate. (00:08:30)
8th Aug 2023
Bubble (2005)
Continuity mistake: The three fast-food cups with straws are initially evenly spaced in front of Martha, Kyle, and Rose, but the straws are too close together in some shots. At one point, Kyle has just picked up his drink and the straw is at his mouth, but when the camera shifts to Rose, Kyle's straw is visible as though his drink is still on the table. (00:14:29)
8th Aug 2023
Bubble (2005)
Other mistake: The rear interior view at St. Mark's shows "pews for two" along the left-hand side and there is not enough space on the right-hand side for similar pews. In the front view, there are "pews for two" along the left-hand side and no room for pews along the right-hand side. (00:10:52)
7th Aug 2023
Bubble (2005)
Continuity mistake: At lunchtime, only Martha has a large drink with a red straw, but some views show a second red straw behind hers. In the distant view when lunch is almost over, there is only one red straw/drink on the table. (00:06:27 - 00:07:28)
7th Aug 2023
Children of the Corn (2020)
Other mistake: The corn creature is on fire, but only up to its shoulders - the flames do not spread to its head until after it goes into the corn field. (01:24:08)
